Yeah ok, cool, but I don’t believe his words when he says them.

The glowing sun projects its rays, consciousness reflects the age.

“TACOman’s line in the sand indicating a quickly approaching deadline was mysteriously washed away by a passing wave, and now there’s magically this new line that has developed in the sand over here…”

First thing I’d troubleshoot… Is your router the issue, or the modem that decodes the signal from your ISP?

Last I checked, router/AP stuff is pretty easy to DIY (OpenWRT, PFsense, etc). But that’s the step after the modem has done what it needs to do.

It’s been very “Hunger Games” looking for a while now, I couldn’t agree with you more

If you’re into that scene, there is room for real overlap between those phenomena. If you’re not, it just sounds crazy. Both camps have their champions to spread the word.

Is Robert Bigelow doing real research, or just a fringe wacko? One’s personal feeling about the answer to that question probably correlates with one’s proclivity to give an article like this any real consideration.

Edit: spelong

I was thinking exactly the same thing

Proxmox on a Lenovo micro form factor is probably a good cost effective option. Get a business class ThinkCentre, like an M720 or something similar that’s 3-5 years old that a corpo has just upgraded away from, i5 or Ryzen 5 with however much storage and RAM you want. Spin up a container specifically and only for PiHole+Unbound (and consider adding a pi or some other dedicated hardware for DNS later on for redundancy in case your main goes down), and then the rest is however you want to build your environment.

For me, I’ve got a Pi dedicated to 3 key tasks: PiHole, Unbound, and PiVPN (edit: and Nginx Proxy Manager. It’s dedicated to 4 key tasks…). It’s basically my filtering interface between the home network the rest of the internet immediately after my router handles the frontline defenses, and then I’ve got a Proxmox cluster to run most of the rest of my internal services.

Oh dang, I must have missed it. Is there a reader’s digest version I can check out regarding the drama?

Edit: I think I found it - https://news.itsfoss.com/organic-maps-fork-comaps/

Is there a compelling reason one might consider switching away from Organic Maps and move to CoMaps?

There’s a near-endless supply of great mythology and legend to read and explore from all sorts of cultures dating back as far as the dawn of writing. I’ve had a lot of fun reading and comparing tales from various times and places, taking time to also note where in history the stories were being written down and what else was happening. Strong recommendation for anyone wanting a unique view on the history of societies and the stories they held (or still hold) dear.

A TON of work was done before Tesla though, which is what I feel like continually is overlooked. Tesla (the company) was already standing on some very tall shoulders at its inception, and the engineers carried the real innovation forward after the takeover.

Ultimately up to you, but I’d go with no GUI and just use ssh (and sftp if you need to do file transfers).

When I was using Docker, it was headless because the GUI just ate up space and resources I didn’t need. All your interaction will be in the shell anyway, launching your compose.yml files.

But, if dealing with a headless machine sounds like more trouble than you want to try, install the DE if your choice and breathe easy because it’ll still work perfectly fine.

Those advancements were made possible by the Roadster, which was the true pioneering product that made EVs cool again. A car that was dreamed up and invented by Martin Eberhard, and would go on to be built by someone else that gave him the shittiest end of the most shit-covered stick there ever was.

Everything that has given Tesla a reputation as an imnovative company was either done by the original inventor or their amazing engineers over the years.

Elon brings money and celebrity recognition to the company. If the celebrity recognition turns and becomes a net negative, the money is going to start becoming an issue too because his loans might get called and then he’s got nothing to bring to the table. I choose to dream about that future right now.

I think you’ve put more thought into how to get started than many others would! You have a pretty good plan from what it seems. My thoughts from each section below.

Hardware: I’m partial to Crucial and Kingston for storage that is affordable and dependable

OS: I’d probably spin up a Debian install if I were in your shoes and run my services using docker-compose files. It’s a quick and easy to get up and running, and despite the ease, there is still the option to do a lot of customization when you want to, and that will make it easy to learn more at your own pace and leisure.

Services: For the CalDav portion, I’m really liking Radicale.

Security: PiVPN is what I’m running on my actual RPi along with PiHole, and it was a super simple setup. I connect via Wireguard from any of my other devices.

I don’t have an answer for you, but a dev for that DigitalDiary app posted earlier today looking for feature input and saying they are going to open source it in the next 2 months or something like that. I don’t have a link to the post, sorry, but I just thought it might be helpful to know about

If they are one people, then all of Russia is also Ukraine. And I happen to think Zelenskyy is a more legitimate leader.

I wonder if there’s a localized zone where there is some sort of really great density of people who consider themselves Ukrainians. And I wonder if there exists some distinguishable boundary between them - culturally, societally, dare I say politically - where on one side an individual would expect to encounter a Ukrainian, versus on the other side, where they would more probably expect to encounter a non-Ukrainian?

Edit: Maybe an edge? A ridge? Something that describes a clearly defined boundary between two distinct areas that are closely related in many regards while also being clearly distinguishable based on the split that defines the division between said areas…

Edit again: I swear it’s on the tip of my tongue. So frustrating. A line, maybe? That seems closer, but not quite there.

I just don’t want my NAS doing anything other than being a NAS, so I intentionally don’t run extra services there, but its a matter of finding what works for you. As long as you get to the destination you’re looking for, its mission accomplished

Got an old raspberry pi laying around? PiHole+PiVPN is something I run on an old 3B+ I think, so I have something dedicated running both. But otherwise, I’d probably just spin up a container on a server or cluster and I’d probably go with debian and just run the exact same PiVPN setup script I did for the pi because it was super easy.
