Ooooh that looks interesting. I haven’t messed around much with tailscale since I set it up a few years back and hadn’t noticed this. Funny, I was just the other day wondering if they might have something like that, but didn’t look it up. Thanks!

Yeah, what @[email protected] suggested is definitely the easiest thing and super practical - I got family members on my tailnet for this purpose. I am however now also looking into some kind of tunneled, reverse proxied and authenticated way to expose a few of my services to other friends where I don’t want to have to put them on tailscale or potentially expose them to more than needed via that route.

I haven’t started yet, but I am updating my network set up soon to install a dedicated OPNsense router as the edge for my network. From there, the plan is to have a cloudflare tunnel that accesses some of these services via a caddy reverse proxy, with Authelia for authentication. That’s the part I have studied enough to feel confident I can do. I am a little weaker on the networking aspects of this, which is where I need to study some more - like isolating those services that are exposed in my network, while still giving them access to some other needed resources within it, etc.

I was looking for something similar for a while, like something for simple relational data with some GUI for data entry, aka “I don’t wanna write a little web app just for this”. I had used AirTable at work before at work so that’s what came to mind and my searching was basically for “open source or selfhosted alternative to AirTable”.

Came across some decent candidates, can’t remember all the names, but the one I tried, Grist, was pretty straightforward and did the job: easy relational data setup, GUI for all basic data types including file uploads, easy to create input forms, and widgets that talk to the API and you can customize with JavaScript. Setup was easy with docker

EDIT: other names that came up when looking were NocoDB and BaseRow ( I don’t remember why I didn’t try them for my specific needs)

I just started using both recently and it’s great. For the fzf file search, there’s even some extension that can show a preview pane of text files and even images!

5G cellular is high bandwidth but very short range, so yeah they need that kind of density to maintain coverage. They installed them in a street near me and they’re placed every couple of blocks. It’s useful to think of the usual WiFi router at home: you can set up 2.4g and 5g access points. The 5g ones are faster, but have shorter range and you need to use the 2.4g one if you’re far from the router

Pretty sure this is the answer, they seem to always look like that. Close to my street, they have them and it’s the same cylinder but installed on the old light poles

True. Although knowing this picture, and being from this city, I am irrationally irked by the fact that the picture is mirrored (condos are on the left in the original!). Maybe it was to align political left? Lol

Most of it was just nice little touches that didn’t change my day much, but the explicit sync in Wayland by also adding the Nvidia 555 driver has really been nice

I am a historian whose specialty is too recent to deal with anything like that (20th century), but also have a friend who, to be generic here, deals with a handful of a few centuries back. She found a baggie of a drug mistakenly stored with a letter in an archive (think 18th century) and on a whim, dipped their pinky into the powder and tried it. They regret that decision, but also, nothing happened:)

EDIT: Historians can be boring, but not always that tame

Hmmm sweet forbidden wine!

Just installed in EndeavourOS this morning

Ah thanks, that would explain seeing -uk in so many name places I guess

Agreed, although I think a school of fish is also pretty broadly used, no?

Very interesting, thanks for sharing. Just curious, is -uk just a general suffix to make anything plural, or this is just a one off thing here?

Interesting article on what that actually meant for contemporary Mayans: http://theappendix.net/issues/2012/12/time-and-the-maya-apocalypse-guatemala-1982-and-2012

Never heard of mktemp before, that’s need. Come to think of it I never thought about how /tmp is really used by the system in the first place, time to do do studying I guess

That’s awesome. I don’t have one of their products but generally feel a good vibe about the company

One neat thing about swapping the motherboard is that you can easily just 3d print a case for it and use it as a server! I saw a post on the homelab community where FW was selling older model MBs for cheap, and people snapped them up for that. Someone sells a slim case for it, but they also have a printable model for it online

Yeah, I have one piece of software where I need Windows with a GPU (Fusion 360, got it running on wine once but an update broke it), and my wife needs my PC for Adobe stuff sometimes. I might buy a cheapo used older GPU, I don’t need much since it’s not for gaming. That said, the video showed something that might fix where I got stuck last time trying to pass the integrated GPU, so I’m trying that again. I have a Ryzen 9 with 24 cores, so plenty of juice to go around If that if I can pass the igpu through. Then I could try looking glass and be all set. Thanks for sharing, gave me some hope to try again haha

Ha, I was about to edit to say I watched the video. It’s a pretty smooth transition into the client machine!
