If it still boots from the internal disk then you may just need to set the boot priority to prefer your external drive. That’ll be mobo specific unfortunately so I can’t give any tips. I’ve had systems set up to boot from external media when plugged in so it should work.

Back in the day there was also an issue with running full windows installs from USB drives where you needed to prevent it from reinitializing USB devices during bootup since that would interfere with itself, but I’m not seeing anything recent about that so hopefully that’s not an issue anymore.

I don’t think you need to involve Linux at all if you boot the official windows installer. I would just install the SSD as the only drive internally and install to it, then put it back in its enclosure.

It looks like it’s about helping to audo deploy docker-compose.yml updates. So you can just push updated docker-compose.yml to a repo and have all your machines update instead of needing to go into each machine or set up something custom to do the same thing.

I already have container updates handled, but something like this would be great so that the single source of truth for my docker-compose.yml can be in a single repo.

I use gluetun to connect specific docker containers to a VPN without interfering with other networking, since it’s all self contained. It also has lots of providers built in which is convenient so you can just set the provider, your password, and your preferred region instead of needing to manually enter connection details manage lists of servers (it automatically updates it’s own cached server list from your provider, through the VPN connection itself)

Another nice feature is that it supports scripts for port forwarding, which works out of the box for some providers. So it can automatically get the forwarded port and then execute a custom script to set that port in your torrent client, soulseek, or whatever.

I could just use a wireguard or openvpn container, but this also makes it easy to hop between vpn providers just by swapping the connection details regardless of whether the providers only support wg or openvpn. Just makes it a little more universal.

Supposedly comaps has carplay support as of like 2 months ago, according to a page on their website

Sounds like a job for a pair of second hand nanobeams or something similar.

I second the other commenter who suggested using WISP gear. If you have clear fresnel zones it should work a treat.

I second this. Gluetun makes it so easy, working with docker’s internal networking is such a pain.

FYI the codename for the Xiaomi Redmi Note 13 5G is “gold”. You’ll usually see stuff for your phone labeled with that codename since it’s much shorter and easier to check than the whole name where you have to check pro vs non-pro, 5G version, etc as other variants will have completely different codenames.

If roms don’t have official support, then basically your other main option is to look for unofficial builds made by random people on XDA. I’ve used unofficial builds for many years in the past and they’re generally fine, but it’s up to you.

I don’t see any rom threads in the XDA forum for gold, so unfortunately I can’t really help any more. Good luck!

(Skimming around the XDA threads, it appears that the lack of roms is due to mediatek not releasing necessary source code, so if you want custom roms, it’ll be a lot easier to find them for a different phone)

It does support vp9 and h265, I believe DTS-HD as well but I think that’s only for if you use eARC (I only use optical so I have everything convert to AC3). AV1 is not supported afaik, but I have my server do the conversion in realtime with quicksync and serve up h264 or h265.

I love to see this. It is kinda weird to have to use rolls, but I guess the mechanical complexity of separating sheets and feeding them reliably is not fit for an MVP. I wonder how accurately the cut sheets would stack with individual sheets of another brand.

Luckily they are on 2.0.1 now so there has been 2 stable version by now

Now imagine having a calculator with symbolic math support and the ability to solve derivatives and integrals with unknown variables. And I took that shit into the SAT because the TI nspire CX CAS was allowed. (Apparently that changed just this year holy moly)

Is external libraries maybe what you’re looking for?

There’s already an issue open for it: https://github.com/immich-app/immich/issues/1713

Be sure to thumbs it up!

A while ago I got tired of tracks going missing from my playlists because of stuff being removed from Spotify so I started buying everything on Bandcamp and then playing it from my jellyfin using finamp.

If you search for pfsense alias script, you’ll find some examples on updating aliases from a script, so you’ll only need to write the part that gets the hostnames. Since it sounds like the hostnames are unpredictable, it might be hard as the only way to get them on the fly is to listen for what hostnames are being resolved by clients on the LAN, probably by hooking into unbound or whatever. If you can share what the service is it would make it easier to determine if there’s a shortcut, like the example I gave where all the subdomains are always in the same CIDR and if one of the hostnames is predictable (or if the subdomains are always in the same CIDR as the main domain for example, then you can have the script just look up the main domain’s cidr). Another possibly easier alternative would be to find an API that lets you search the certificate transparency logs for the main domain which would reveal all subdomains that have SSL certificates. You could then just load all those subdomains into the alias and let pfsense look up the IPs.

I would investigate whether the IPs of each subdomain follow a pattern of a particular CIDR or unique ASN because reacting to DNS lookups in realtime will probably mean some lag between first request and the routing being updated, compared to a solution that’s able to proactively route all relevant CIDRs or all CIDRs assigned to an ASN.

I think the way people do it is by making a script that gets the hostnames and updates the alias, then just schedule it in pfsense. I’ve also seen ASN based routing using a script, but that’ll only work on large services that use their own AS. If the service is large enough, they might predictably use IPs from the same CIDR, so if you spend some time collecting the relevant IPs, you might find that even when the hostnames are new and random, they always go to the same pool of IPs, that’s the lazy way I did selective routing to GitHub since it was always the same subnet.

That’s what I do. 1.6TB currently on rsync.net, only my personal artifacts excluding all media that can be reacquired and it’s a reasonable $10/mo. Synced daily at 4am.

If I wanted my backups to include my media collection or anything exceeding several TB, I would build a second NAS and drop it at my parents’.

If you want it to taste as close to identical as possible, you can usually find name brand bag in box syrups if you search around. So I guess in theory you should be able to get the same taste as real fountain soda. Idk how that compares to bottled though. I had a box of dr pepper syrup which made great tasting dr pepper.

Physical inactivity got me covered. Lmao.
