I had a rough morning and your comment made it worst.

In GrapheneOS, Settings -> Battery -> Charging Optimization.

It reeks of shitty boss. I’ve heard the same bullshit from old folks 20 years ago that couldn’t use their computers to save their live.

When everyone’s an asshole, the common factor is you.

I can’t get anything cheaper than that because it’s a price I got when the reseller started business and as long as I don’t switch, I get that price.

Good for you that you can get better, but coax still has its place until internet providers up their game, but I won’t hold my breath.

I still use coax because I buy internet from a reseller third party and this is what they have. I have 400/50 for 35$, which is a lot cheaper yhan the competitors. No reason for me to change.

My uneducated kernel take. Flexibility is acceptable and desirable in small projects or low impact projects.

When the majority of the internet and a good chunk of PC are dependent on your project, predictability and stability is much more important than flexibility.

I bet my hand to the fire that Bill Gates didn’t eat avocado toast and made coffee at home and that’s why he is a billionaire today.

And it is still true today. Windows has the lion share of the market because we were raised with Windows and the vast majority of people don’t want to learn a new OS.

Thanks for the info, I appreciate it.

I am a newbie so I am not sure I understand correctly. Tell me if my understanding is good.

Your Pi-Hole act as your DNS, so the VPS use the pi-hole through the tunnel to check for the translation IP, as set through the DNS directive in the wg file. For example, my pi-hole is at 10.0.20.5, so the DNS will be that address.

On the local side, the pi-hole is the DNS for all the services on that subnet and each service automatically populate their host name on pi-hole. I can configure the DNS server in my router/firewall (OPNSense in my case)

So when I ping service.example.com, it goes through the VPS, which queries the pi-hole through the tunnel and translates the address to the local subnet IP if applicable.

So when I have the wg connection active and my pi-hole is the DNS, every web request will go through the pi-hole. If the IP address is inside the range of AllowedIPs, the connection will go through the tunnel to the service, otherwise, the connection will go through outside the wg tunnel.

Does that make sense?

How does WG work on the local side of the network? Do you need to connect each VM/CT to the wireguard instance?

I am currently setting up my home network again, and my VPS will tunnel through my home network and NPM will be run locally on the local VLAN for services and redirect from there.

I wonder if there is any advantage to run NPM on the VPS instead of locally?

It is a lot simpler nowadays. Download Caddy, put a 2 line config and you are good to go.

Yes, but since he is working on the product itself, it’s heavily biased.

He can use the app without leaving a review.

I might be wrong, but the Material 3 UI feels a lot closer to iOS.

I agree with you, I’d rather have a crazy snappy phone instead of nice animations and effects, but we are in the minority. This doesn’t sell.

Just look at any website. UI graphics are king, and usability is at the lowest it can be.

The tech itself is great.

But:

• Businesses push that shit where it doesn’t belong
• Businesses replacing people by AI when it is objectively worst, to make a buck
• Business stealing the work of million of people to train their model

It’s akin to when everything is urgent, nothing is.

At one point, you gotta accept that you can’t do everything and move on. You can always re-find the information if it comes down to it in the future. Or you can use bookmark folders to be able to eventually go back to what you think is important.

If I have more than 6-7 tabs open, I check what I need to absolutely save and add that to a bookmark folder, then I close my browser and start fresh.

You gotta be nimble to navigate through 50+ tabs to find what you are looking for

Laziness. I used Ubuntu, then tried a few distros based on it, and Linux Mint worked well enough out of the box.

I have a few issues with it, but i have easy workarounds so that’s good enough for me.

No please. Use a password manager with randomly generated usernames when possible.

I split my docker containers so that I can selectively backup what I want easily on proxmox

For example, I am currently running an Abiotic Factor server that I don’t care to backup. So I just dont add the container to the backups and I am done.
