Depends on the ISP, my old one just handed out Fritz box routers with nothing locked down. Still using it now with the new ISP!

Having two could be useful - allows you to separate anything that virtual you wants to host from anything real life you wants to host.

(Without having two domains pointing at the same IP)

They also said in their last Q&A that there isn’t a non oped monitor on the market that they can recommend for this use case ☹️

Things fall into the thicker parts of the atmosphere because drag from the tiny amounts of air up there. if that is shrinking, then you can get lower before you have the same amount of drag? Therefore lower orbits might be more feasible?

Lower orbit means faster though, so it may not be linear? Would be interesting to see (someone else do) the maths.

Doesn’t that just mean that lower orbits can be used? Less air resistance?

Is there any way to actually have an effect of Firefox strategy? If they were a public company you could buy shares etc?

With the obvious disclaimer that it will hike your electricity bill.

That’s a lot of useful info, thanks!

What do you want to run in a VM that can’t run in Docker?

a VM with torrent client and a killswitched VPN was the easiest way to get a secure setup. also meant if it ever got virused I could just roll it back. I need to look more into what docker can actually do by the looks of it.

You are the second person to suggest unraid - is it ok to sit on the perpetual license (for a few years at a time), or are the updates really required? It supports GPU passthrough right, so I can have a ‘normal’ linux desktop for gaming while running the other stuff in the background?

TY for the response!

I only know of it from LTT videos I think, not exactly the best endorsement!

That’s a lot of data (relatively)! Are you paying for the unraid license yearly, or just sitting on an old version?

Here ya go: https://selfh.st/apps/

oooh, TY! Now to guess which ones will still be maintained in 5 years 😆

I guess I must as well have a play with some stuff like jellyfin to see if its useful. The ‘server’ in this case would have a 6 year old GPU in it, so should hopefully have enough grunt.

Thanks for the info!

ah sorry, my new ISP gave me a router, but it doesn’t have any VPN functionality on it (Edited OP to make that clear). My old one probably can’t support the speed, and for some reason doesn’t let me change its MAC address, so I can’t use it as the ISP facing device.

I’m paying for a static IP (and to get off cg-nat)

what benefit does a new router give over just putting the VPN software on the RP for example?

That’s some nice documentation - way overkill for what I need though.

Out of interest - Why is the VPS required, and why the mention of a non residential IP address? Could that not all be hosted locally if your ISP has given you a static IP address?

Wasn’t there a spare of phone camera stabilisers being broken/worn out because they were strapped to bikes?

You want them all in one place so that they can be uploaded in one go to your fitness tracking site. That lets you see what your HR, power and cadence all where on that specific hill for example.

I used to have a Fitbit that used my phone for GPS and it was awful and drained the batteries on both devices. I guess the idea of having 5G is that you don’t actually take your phone with you, one less thing to have to force into your pockets.

How far do you take it?

What services does it apply to? Sure netflix, Disney (hah! Good luck!) Amazon etc.

What about YouTube? It has masses of content, some in the form of movies Or documentories etc, but that’s a lot of content, who does the pay per view money go to? Who is going to moderate it?

What about services such as Patron?( or maybe nebula or floatplane) Some creators charge a lot for content as it’s low volume and they need to support themselves, will this undercut them (without giving loopholes for big companies)

As others have mentioned, what about porn or porn adjacent content?

It would be very hard to implement fairly I suspect and would be full of pitfalls unless you exempt a lot of areas. Banning content exclusivity for certain content after a period of time would probably be more effective (and requiring that purchase is available)

Sounds like the same study in both articles? And the BBC says it was specifically to ‘premium’ plastic tea bags?

The fabric ones should be fine then?

I mean, your connection to your email provider is encrypted (I hope!) - probably with TLS

Your email provider will communicate with the receivers email server over an encrypted connection (probably TLS again)

Your recipient connects to their provider over a secure connection too!

Yes, your email companies can read it, but that is the case with lots of IM providers too…
