Just like 3 weeks ago I started using Tailscale. I’d highly recommend trying that.

It does some uuuuh… magic to establish direct connections on most networks. You can verify whether you’re using direct connection or relay using tailscale status on Linux.

It uses Wireguard under the hood. There’s also Tailnet lock feature (still in beta) in case you don’t trust Tailscale to not maliciously add devices to your Tailnet.

This would give you lower latency than the VPS solution. I use it with CG-NAT on both sides. I also started using it for LAN since it establishes direct connection over LAN too, and seamlessly switches between networks so I can disconnect from LAN and keep current connections going over WAN or vice versa.

But I’ve just tried now, and it won’t work even on LAN without internet access. Still better than a VPS solution in some way.

But you may also try looking into headscale which is basically a lightweight self-hosted private Tailscale control server, but I haven’t tried anything with that.

Not sure if you’ll find something that cheap, but RackNerd has some pretty cheap offers sometimes. Thing is, they don’t seem to expire, so there’s this: https://racknerdtracker.com/?sort=price

But I haven’t tried them yet.
Also keep in mind the monthly bandwidth limits.
You get what you pay for, and $10/year is basically nothing.

Oh, and you may be responsible for random people’s traffic depending on the provider. I think I’ve read in ToS of some VPS provider that you have to notify them about running a public service for this reason.

The fuck? (Edit: Although, does it have a map?)

Hmm…

AliExpress has no right to be that large, neither Opera. No reason to store that much cache. (Edit: cache and cookies are only around 500MB total. Hmmm…) Also, I set F-Droid to keep cached apps for 1 hour, what the hell is this?

I kind of forgot to manage my storage, as I usually do until I have like 5GB left…

Data will always adapt to storage size.

I actively go out of my way to avoid hiring people who list random and disparate certifications in their resume.

Why though? If something from the list is relevant, decide how much of a positive it is. If it isn’t then just skip, but why avoid?

Canonical taking notes

Would the Shrek script be compatible too?

Well, fuck it, now it doesn’t.

Just do a little… and you’ll be good to go.

Safari was also late to implement AV1 video support. Based on caniuse website, only MS Edge was later, though you could install an extension to get it running.

Oh, and when I say “support”, I mean you’d have to buy a new device.

Supported only on devices with hardware decoder, e.g. iPhone 15 Pro, M3 MacBook Pro, etc.

Edit: Chrome since v. 70 (2018-10-16), Firefox fully since v. 67 (2019-05-21), Firefox partially since v. 55 (2017-08-08) whatever “Not supported by default, but can be enabled” means, Safari since v. 17 on newer devices (2023-09-26)

A bit unrelated, but if you have DD-WRT on WiFi router with USB, you can install Entware. There’s also a few games.

I used to play Tetris (vitetris) on my old WiFi router. I also tried to compile doom_ascii for MIPS, but I wasn’t successful and gave up. That was 5 months ago, so I basically forgot everything I tried already.
I have also tried to compile it directly on the WiFi router, but it kept crashing even when I killed all running services (including SSH and Telnet so I had to use console, at least it’s 115,200 baud) that weren’t necessary. I think 32MB of RAM was my problem.
Anyway, I doubt it would run on it anyway, but at least I tried.

List of games available (at least for MIPS): angband, cavezofphear, crawl, gnuchess, minesweep-rs, nethack, rcon, sudoku-tui, superstartrek, tty-solitaire, vitetris, zork.

Edit: Hmm, it seems at least very few Netgear switches may be supported by OpenWRT (e.g.: https://openwrt.org/toh/netgear/gs308t_1). Maybe there is potential to actually play games on that switch!

Because it uses transparent background, and you’re likely using dark mode.

That’s only PayPal though.

Check out KolibriOS. It’s a tiny modern operating system written in assembly.

Well… depending on the situation… it may be inappropriate [Urban dictionary - NSFW description warning]

If you’re already using Ubuntu, I don’t think it’s worth it. They’re fairly similar. Then again, I didn’t even get to install Ubuntu in the first place, the installer kept crashing.

Unless the laptop is a potato and you don’t have a better computer, you can try Mint, or any other distro in a VM to see for yourself.

And welcome to Linux. If someone recommends you Arch Linux, Gentoo or LFS as other newbie-friendly option, it’s a joke.

Well, yeah, because most apps depend on Google services.

How are you using it remotely? VNC?

Perhaps the server config started defaulting to XFCE. Maybe what happened is entire XFCE DE got marked as a dependency, installed during update, and then when some config defaulting to XFCE thanks to this became valid, you ended up here.

If it’s VNC, what do you have in ~/.vnc/xstartup? Maybe a line like xfce4-session &?

Hear me out, the entire universe is most likely temporary, so technically all the code you write is in fact temporary.

I’ve had a teacher in elementary school scream at me for doing so. (Nesting parentheses is forbidden. [You are supposed to use brackets.])

Just a note: it can still be forced off/rebooted by pressing power button even longer. Likely the thief will just do that.

So there’s not much point for this.
