- Comment on US Government Urges Total Ban of Our Most Popular Wi-Fi Router 2 weeks ago:
I use a Sierra Wireless EM9293 with a USB3 to M.2 Key B 4G 5G Modem Adapter Enclosure with SIM Card Slot - V7 from Wireless Haven.
Impressive kit and costs me about 300 in parts.
Works natively with my Mikrotik USB port.

5G as in cellular?

Client side or server side?
- Comment on Immich mobile app sync V2 1 month ago:
Reverse proxy if your home internet is decent.
50mbps upload is fine for me.
I had it running on a mini PC with 8tb of storage, but I couldn’t get the latency down to where I want it, so I moved it to a VPS.
- Comment on Immich mobile app sync V2 1 month ago:
I run it on a VPS. Works great across oceans. Biggest gripe is that it doesn’t load local content first. It checks online and then pulls from those thumbnails. So if you have a weak or slow connection, then you’ll get a spinning wheel of death or assets that don’t load properly.

I think that’s PWM dimming vs DC dimming.
PWM dimming turns pixels on and off to make them darker. So for 50% of the brightness, it’s off 50% of the time. Higher end panels flicker much faster which helps mitigate perceived flicker. I think 500hz and above is preferred.
For DC dimming is just using voltage to control the darkness with no flickering involved.

I have a 7840U with a 55HWr battery. I can squeeze out 7 hours. If I’m power using then 5-6 is typical. With the 63WHr battery, you’ll get about 15% more time with it.

I always have the irrational or maybe rational fear of glass breaking. Any furniture I buy doesn’t have any glass elements.

Anything that can run proxmox is running proxmox. Even if it’s a single OS running on it, it’s still running proxmox
- Comment on Is it safe to assume the guy i went out on a date with, just wants to sleep with me? 3 months ago:
This age gap fails the check for me
37 / 2 = 18.5, 18.5 + 7 = 25.5
If someone that old who can’t get someone around his age, but is suddenly interested in younger people… That’s just someone preying on naivety.

I mean airplanes are immune to capsaicin as well. I don’t think they have the right type of pain receptors to sense it.

I use a mixture of tailscale and zerotier. Both are pretty powerful.

I’m confused, do you have an example of a laptop that uses numbers for their model number iteration rather than their screen size or feature set?
- Comment on VPN server on router or within home network? 4 months ago:
Yes but you can get two free instances under the same account.
- Comment on VPN server on router or within home network? 4 months ago:
Actually you can get 2 IPs for free. Then use high availability
- Comment on VPN server on router or within home network? 4 months ago:
I use ZeroTier on a MikroTik router.
Then just advertise routes on the router.
- Comment on Best way to get IPv4 connectivity to my self-hosted services 5 months ago:
Ionos.de has a €1 a month VPS
I think 1 core, 1gb ram, and 10gb.
Use either caddy or Nginx proxy manager. Both are easy to setup. Also both are dockerized.
I use Tailscale as my tunnel.
Total latency is about 70-90ms for me.

If you want a cheap cutting board because you can’t afford end grain, look into hinoki boards. They’re cheap and very soft wood.
As with all wooden boards, make sure you seal it first with a neutral oil such as mineral oil.

My friend has 1G/1G Internet. I have a rsync cron job backing up there 2 times a week.
It has a 8TB NVMe drive that I use bulk data backup and a 2TB os drive for VM stuff.

I use adguard home in conjunction with NextDNS.
I find adguard a little better in the UI department. Have it in a docker container so it’s a set and forget.
- Comment on End of 10 - Windows ten is ending. Microsoft wants you to buy a new computer. But what if you could make your current one fast and secure again? 6 months ago:
Yeah there’s no foolproof way to do a general upgrade. Wiping is the easiest way to bypass the tpm requirement.
- Comment on End of 10 - Windows ten is ending. Microsoft wants you to buy a new computer. But what if you could make your current one fast and secure again? 6 months ago:
If you absolutely must use windows
Download the Pro ISO from windows.
Use MicroWin to create an iso without tpm requirements and with offline installation
Use MAS and use only the Enterprise edition. You might need to upgrade to Professional first.
Then use WindowsDebloater to tailor it to your liking.

RouterOS has WG built in as well as ZeroTier. RouterOS has become quite powerful lately, but make sure you have at least an ARM/ARM64 CPU for it.
