- Comment on Access homeserver through VPN + route traffic with mullvad? 1 week ago:
Yeah,UK here and a couple of times I get errors about not being able to connect to the relay server in London + Amsterdam
But I’ve to ask. Have you setup the Tailnet with this fix for IP Forwarding on a subnet router (this helps me so much for tech support on said Tailnet…) and also UDP

I’m currently on my phone but I recall having to ensure the Mini PC w/Ubuntu down at their house had both the above when bringing Tailscale,
up. - Comment on Access homeserver through VPN + route traffic with mullvad? 1 week ago:
Even when it works it’s much slower to connect to my server than VPN.
I wonder why.
Wireguard / TS runs faster than VPN’s, and even my family member has had a couple of devices on my Tailnet down at their place for a couple of years now, and they haven’t a clue how it works and fully believe I’m a magician.
Any background on your connection/location/devices etc?

See the thing is I know it offends many
Indianspeople when they shittalkpost about their respective countries.A quick skim of your post history shows you like Joe Rogan, and stuff from Yankland and their politics.
But the most funny thing is when people get offended by “bad news” from their “Country”. I’m from the UK and some of the shit we see in the news is hilariously stupid these days and I take shitposting with a pinch of salt. You should try it too ;)
- Comment on Front Brake Lights Could Drastically Diminish Road Accident Rates 2 weeks ago:
I have, and that’s my point.
I’m a lowly drone pilot that isn’t really made to understand what those lights mean but did out of my sheer curiosity.
But the average pedestrian is going to take some, teaching?
- Comment on Front Brake Lights Could Drastically Diminish Road Accident Rates 2 weeks ago:
Possibly, and I’d be interested in some sort of 360° LED on top of a vehicle to indicate to pedestrians and other drivers alike of its (de)acceleration.
But jamming some non standard colours in what is a long term understanding on the front of a vehicle I can’t really get with and would like to see the impact to people with partial / colour blindness with using such a system.
- Comment on Front Brake Lights Could Drastically Diminish Road Accident Rates 2 weeks ago:
Like someone said in the hnews comments, this might work for auto transmission but with manual gearing you’ve got people using engine braking on hills.
Also like stated in the article the colouring is going to be an issue and trying to see some green lights whilst the headlights are on (full beam fog lights perhaps too?) doesn’t seem practicable to me.
- Comment on Wikimedia Foundation's plans to introduce AI-generated summaries to Wikipedia 2 weeks ago:
But in general I think you’re probably right that literacy can decrease with disuse
Maths is a really good example of this.
At one point I really enjoyed doing long division in my head but as time goes on (and you don’t exercise that sponge…), it becomes lazy.
- Comment on Peersuite p2p encrypted discord alternative 3 weeks ago:
but IDK if I’m great at it.
Simples is best, hands down. Maybe some tooltips wouldn’t go amiss on your demo page?
But as someone else pointed out, a link to the GitHub either in the header or footer of your demo page would be ace too. It was the first thing I looked for this morning seeing your posts and had to come back to the comments to find it 🙈
Keep up the great work, and I shared between our nerd group and they have eyeballs on it. Seems a no brainer for teams collaborating online where we’ve got used of shitty Slack 🤢 Dicksword whatever.

- Comment on Syncthing alternatives 3 weeks ago:
SMB (the protocol) works across devices and OS’s, and I use SMBSync2 to dump my photos to my NAS + off site
This has worked fine for me for years even thou the app isn’t on the Play Store anymore, and is fairly granular in regards to file types and where you wanna back them up

- Comment on Wild camping on Dartmoor backed by Supreme Court 4 weeks ago:
Is it “commons” ie owned by all who wish to use it, or is it private land owned by a single individual ?
As far as I take it (IANAL) it’s all about “access to” and whether you start “dwelling”, on it. A bit like the
Gypo’sTravellers do on car parks and shit.But then you also have the mad bastard farmers with shotguns who also are a little confused like ourselves, and I feel it’s best left to the brave ones who want to linger too much on someone’s “private property that’s publicly accessible” until the “you’re implied rights of access have been revoked” comes into play.
- Comment on What are some cool projects that I can do with a 1st gen Raspberry Pi? 1 month ago:
Do you worry about that Zero being deauthed since it uses 2.4 only still?
I ask as I’m having somewhat of a bit of lag / delay or something I need to look further into between my RPi5 / router which is using as its DNS provider (AdguardHome), and because I still use a 2.4GhZ camera (which has also been playing up recently…) got me thinking about having all the cams / Pi’s / SFF PC’s not only hard wired, but turning off the 2.4GhZ weefee altogether on the router due to Flippers and shit.
tldr: should I care?
- Comment on ‘Massive’ increase in pensioner shoplifters in past year 1 month ago:
Ex-barstaff come assistant manager here from a local boozer from many, many years ago.
We had a rule that the barstaff got first dibs on the deals if the smackheads came in with their goodies like you say (meat / coffee / Gillette triple bladers were big sellers…), and only then the customers came second. Crazy how even then your sweet old lady having her shandy top was in that queue 🙈
- Comment on 3-2-1 Backups: How do you do the 1 offsite backup? 1 month ago:
Yeah me too, photos and videos I’ve recorded are the only things I’m bothered about. Backing up off-site all my arrrrr booty is redundant since I’ve shared it to a 2.1 ratio already and hopefully can download it again from people with larger storage than my family member has.
It’s how I handle backing up those photos / videos thou. I bought them a 512GB card and shoved that in a GLi AP they have down there which I sync my DCIM folder to (app was removed from Play Store since it didn’t need updating but Googles stupid policies meant it went RIP…), and I also backup that to the old Synology NAS I handed down to them. I suppose I could use Syncthing but I like that old app since the adage if it’s not broke don’t fix it applies.
Along with them having Tailscale on a Pi4 (on a UPS and is their/my backup TVHeadend server) and their little N100 media box I don’t even bother them with my meager photo collection and works good.

Your understanding is that you don’t understand what you’re trying to tout.
Which is telling, and hence my downvote. Toodle-pip

I think maybe you should just tell us what that 32GB is going to contain publicly, instead of dancing around questions with non-answers.

I do like the short or punchy one after reviewing many bots comments over the years, but, who’s to say using LLM’s to tidy up your rantings is a “bad thing”?
- Comment on British soldiers tune radio waves to fry drone swarms for pennies 2 months ago:
The project supports more than 135 highly skilled jobs across the UK
Is that 135 individual positions, or just some mumbo jumbo job titles they’re making up?
The UK police can’t determine what is a legal 249gm drone or not as seen many times over with the auditors, so how on earth is this thing gonna work is beyond me?
Just trash the airwaves I guess.
- Comment on A French law requiring adult sites to run age checks( facial age estimation, ...etc) and block users under 18 became applicable to sites based in France and outside of the EU. 2 months ago:
The law also makes it mandatory to use a third-party age assurance provider “that is legally and technically independent of any online platform hosting or providing porn content.”
Meanwhile, over on Googles I can find images of blowjobs and corner shop magazines available for viewing. Strange how they want to invade everyone’s privacy in the name of some “online porn”.
- Comment on ‘I’m super worried’: fewer UK tourists visiting US amid Trump’s policies and rhetoric 2 months ago:
This kid-friendly something where rules are more strictly enforced and moderation could end up with the kid’s school being told about the kid saying the N word or whatever
I remember entering an incorrect domain/regex to an Automod config once. Thankfully because I checked the logs often it only happened for a short while, and people didn’t get too mad.
But then you have really incompetent operators like those censors over in Italy and Spain with PiracyShield™ etc
I mean - 30mins for them to block Google Drive nationwide is something I think no-one wants, without some level of accountability, but when you’ve got dickheads like me that can regex out Nigella Lawson Pr0n accidentally, is scary.
- Comment on Discussion: Samsung kills the MicroSD card slot for their latest Midrange/Budget A-Series phones. What do you think about the future of MicroSD Card Slots? Will other manufacturers all follow suit? 2 months ago:
My backup phone / last daily driver had one, and I did use a SD card in it simply for another place to backup my DCIM folder as part of my 3.2.1 backup, but I did always wonder why I bothered because if I did lose the phone the SD card goes with it, making it pretty moot.
Still, I am of the notion that there’s never enough backups.
- Comment on Discussion: Samsung kills the MicroSD card slot for their latest Midrange/Budget A-Series phones. What do you think about the future of MicroSD Card Slots? Will other manufacturers all follow suit? 2 months ago:
Because I generally travel within the UK, it’s rare for me not to have an internet connection so to be honest I’ve not really cared for a SD card for a fair while now. I understand in places like the US / Aussieland they’re a godsend to some but I’m fairly ambivalent on the subject now.
And having a ridiculous amount of storage on tap from a couple of NAS’s accessible via Tailscale, and my last three phones having between 256GB-512GB internal storage SD cards are pretty much relegated to other devices like my drone/GoPro etc.
Don’t get me wrong, I think it’s stupid doing away with it and other things like IR blasters / headphone jacks and, more irritating to me? Notification LED’s. My Nexus One had one, my Mi A1 and Cubot had one but I can never understand why they ain’t a standard thing across the board.
- Comment on Anyone have any luck with Gl Inet Luci Openrouter VLANs? 2 months ago:
I bought two AXT1800’s for down at a family members house (main router + other on a Powerline in AP mode) and they have no complaints.
While I can’t speak for having to reboot them often since a few months ago I told them to schedule a reboot through the night, weekly, and I find them one of the cleanest router interfaces especially on mobile.
The timezone is different to your browser is my main qualm with them which I can’t seem to solve :/
- Comment on Encrypting data on local servers? 2 months ago:
That would be neat.
Like someone else said in here maybe the OP could use a really long cable to a USB drive away from the main server, but I do like the idea of something using hybrid wire(less) to auth.
They could even have a UPS underneath a Pi Zero and, have a PoE HAT too + travel router. Plug in LTE USB with backup SIM card, epoxy all that together and then hide it?
lol, paranoia fixed.
- Comment on Encrypting data on local servers? 2 months ago:
I like this, and I suppose it’s a shame a Rasp Pi can’t be WOL’ed.
But could another SFF single use/secured device on the same network that doesn’t have FDE, also provide that key only if and when you wake it up (manually decrypt the file after ssh’ing into it too?) instead of having a USB drive directly plugged into the main server so, if a nefarious person does have away with the main bounty they’re fugged without said second hidden device on the same network?
