I’ve been keeping all my old tech. I have some stuff that’s pretty useless, but in one instance, I was able to move a vps I have for my business and run it locally saving a bit each month. It’s running on an old MacBook Pro from 2016.

It’s also just a test server that I use before pushing to production in the cloud.

My sister-in-law’s somewhat new laptop had water damage. She was surprised that I wanted to spend about $100 at a local repair shop to get it fixed.

It’s only 1-2 years old and had 16gb ddr5, a 512ssd and a 10 core intel processor. I forget what one, but it’s pretty modern.

She bought a MacBook Air to replace it so luckily she didn’t ask for any money for it.

The repair price might seem extra low because I’m not in the US.

As far as I know you need to authenticate through them.

Alternatively, you could setup your own vpn to do all this, but it is much more work and will likely have some cost.

When you connect to Tailscale, via cli it should give you a link to use to connect it to your account. You can get the ip address in various ways. One of which is just looking on your Tailscale dashboard. You need to have Tailscale installed on every machine you want to talk with.

I was going to say Tailscale. You will need to give more details about what didn’t work with Tailscale, but it has been pretty seamless for me.

I decided to pull the trigger on bg3 maybe today or next week.

Depends on if I have time to play today.

Yeah! I’m wanting that game.

I have about $15 in steam credit, so I’m thinking of just pulling the trigger even though I have other games I’m actively playing.

Thanks! It’s been so long since I’ve used plex. I didn’t know they offered their own proxy service now.

Doesn’t Jellyfin operate the same way?

I’m not sure there is any difference.

What?! Why don’t you have to do those things with Plex?

I have been considering this. Is it a fun solo game? Any problems on the deck, like small text? I also wonder if there are any problems with it being always online.
