One of the few manufacturers that have the 3.5mm jack and SD card. The only other one I can think of now is Motorola.

I’m going to go against the grain a bit and suggest studying for a certificate. Find one that looks interesting, and just prepare for it. You don’t necessarily have to get the certificate, but training for it will give you a good foundation for running your systems.

I know rebuilding containers is trivial, but updating a service in the UI is more trivial than that. I’m just trying to make my life as trivial as possible 😁. It seems like containers may be worth the little bit of extra effort.

Copying a response I wrote on another comment -

Thanks for this - the one advantage I’m noticing is that to update the services I’m running, I have to rebuild the container. I can’t really just update from the UI if an update is available. I can do it, it is just somewhat of a nuisance.

How often are there issues with dependencies? Is that a problem with a lot of software these days?

I see it as a sign of health that people working with vaccines only use them when they are beneficial, and don’t use them when there are reasons not to.

Remote adb (I think?) was a lot easier than I expected. I recommend changing these tv launchers as quick as possible.

Perhaps the closest term is “cognitive dissonance.” I don’t think current usage best fits your description, although the original event that inspired the term certainly does.

https://www.simplypsychology.org/cognitive-dissonance.html

Cognitive dissonance was first investigated by Leon Festinger, arising out of a participant observation study of a cult that believed that the earth was going to be destroyed by a flood, and what happened to its members — particularly the really committed ones who had given up their homes and jobs to work for the cult — when the flood did not happen.

While fringe members were more inclined to recognize that they had made fools of themselves and to “put it down to experience,” committed members were more likely to re-interpret the evidence to show that they were right all along (the earth was not destroyed because of the faithfulness of the cult members).

There is the sunk-cost fallacy, but that is more about investments. I don’t know if it’s refers to popularity like OP wants.

Thanks, that’s a useful description.

Pretty ingenious.

I didn’t understand how the OP did this:

Create an Apple account with support@company.com

Is that just a spoofed email? What would be the steps to do that?

This was the first hit on proxmox vps.

I have no idea if they are good or not, but this kind of service might be what you’re looking for?

This is the type of escalation I can get behind.

Go ahead Harris, beat that!

For me, pros are:

• Fun to learn something new
• Easy to test different systems. For example, I can play with different router or NAS software without having a separate computer around.
• I’ve been able to create different “computers” that serve different needs and require different levels of security.
• Currently, a cluster is probably overkill, it was a fun experiment.

Cons

• Updating all the different systems can be a pain. I could probably automate it, but I haven’t made the time to learn it yet.
• As a beginner, I’m throwing a bunch of parts together and hoping it will work. I should probably be more strategic in my implementation, but I don’t know what to prioritize. I’m sure I’ll have to start over in the future.
• With the previous point, the storage setup doesn’t seem very intuitive. I probably need to set up that better.
• I haven’t quite figured out backups yet. My VM backups all seem too big. I need to figure that out and automate it.

Hope this is helpful.

I was looking into Tailscale, but it got me a little worried. I’m not very knowledgeable, so I hope someone can correct me

They don’t allow ssh, so you have to give your keys over them and they manage your ssh connection? That seems idiotic. Surely that can’t be correct?

I’m my use case, I was wanting to rsync to an off-site Synology from a Linux box. Synology also doesn’t allow ssh over their VPN service - frustrating.

The chair is actually a woman.

Any suggestions for current gen routers?

Does anyone know about the technology that nuclear submarines and aircraft carriers use? Why are they able to operate but we can’t use the same technology on land?

No mention of the Tesla dancing robot yet?

Thanks, bought one!
