I don't know if it's just me that find it highly interesting that they choose to run Windows for these kind of things? Anyone able to elaborate the reasons for this? Surely this just costs them so much extra having to buy licenses for each of these screens...?

Please do correct me or clarify this for me 🌻

Hi there,

Family owns a rather remote house in a quite rural area in Europe. This is a vacation home, and whilst it is possible to pay for WiFi, it's not something they want to pay for considering they travel there maybe 3-4 times a year. So am now looking for alternative methods that involve using mobile data, as they have "unlimited" mobile data plans. So I think they're looking for a GSM booster link/Dual Band Cellular Repeater (not entirely sure what the correct term is, but hope one of them are correct). The house they live in has very thick concrete walls, and is multiple stories tall. So while the coverage is somewhat useable on the second floor, it is basically nonexistent on the first floor. So one of these devices would be nice, as it would allow for making calls throughout the house too. So; are there any specific recommendations for this? I guess I would need to buy one that is specifically supported by our mobile operator?

If WiFi were to become more relevant in a few years, would you recommend Starlink over paying for WiFi? It seems more affordable than what WiFi costs here, from what I have checked.

Appreciate any comments and suggestions, have a nice day 🌻

Let me know if there are any other specific details that would be important for making this decision.

Hi there, So just watched latest video of Jim Browning and in the video he had a sponsor I had not heard about before, Guard.io. So I went to check it out, and it seems like a fairly decent service (by that I mean, a service I would put on family members devices) for helping against possible phishing attempt and general safeguarding online activity etc.. I currently have installed Ublock Origin in their browsers and pointed their DNS to base.dns.mullvad.net, but that's about it.

So:

• Anyone had any experience with this service?
• What's the general consensus around this service?
• Is it necessary, compared to the measures I mentioned above?
• Are there any other general measure I could implement on their devices? (they are on both apple and Android ecosystems)

Thanks for any suggestions 🌻

Anyone gotten their hands dirty with this very unique-looking city builder yet? Seems to have launched only two days ago, but looks freaking cool!

Hiya, so this is a problem I've run into recently using an image of Project Bluefin, hoping someone here might be able to point me in the right direction of solving this problem.

My issue is that, each time I close the lid of my laptop, and open it again I need to refresh Tailscale (take it down and up again), in order to be able to connect to the internet. Obviously, I can just do that each time, but it is a slight annoyance. Tailscale is built in, pre-installed, on the system image and this is an immutable distro. I don't know what this comes of, nor do I know how I could troubleshoot it in terms of looking at logs. So any pin pointers as towards helping me solve this would be greatly appreciated!

Hiya, Edit: Solved by tweaking the ACL in Tailscale, more info on that here; https://tailscale.com/kb/1193/tailscale-ssh

I am accessing my Samba folder from my remote server, over Tailscale. However, this means, each time I close the lid of my laptop or reboot. I need to re-authenticate this, I don't know why. Is there a way around this? Or a better solution?

I've added the share(folder) to "places" via Dolphin, but in order to actually be able to access the share i need to go into the terminal and enter "sftp myserver:port". After that the share will work as normal, until next boot.

I prefer accessing my files via Tailscale, it's very convenient and secure in most cases. I am storing my notes for Obsidian and other frequently used files via this share. The server is running Unraid, my laptop is running an Immutable distro called Aurora (part of Bluefin Project).

Any help appricated!

I am probably late on this one, but god damn this is one nasty trick by Philips.

Context; I recently decided to upgrade my shaver, from a Philips One Blade to Philips an all-in-one-trimmer-7000. As you can see on the pictures below, they changed the charger for the adapter by maybe 1–2 millimetres, just so the old charger could not be used by the old charger. Now, this normally isn't a big deal, but with the new trimmer, the charger is USB-A only. Where's the previous one had the plug on it instead. To me this is mildly infuriating as I know need to get an extra adapter just to charge my shaver in the bathroom. They had the exact same design for the chargers, yet changed it just slightly so they wouldn't be able to be reused? Why... Philips... why?

Edit: many good points in the comments! I don't know how to manually check the voltage, but seems like folks figured it out in the comments too. Should have just been USB-C!
