Clip is from Airplane!, great comedy movie

Next to the gold pot at the end of a rainbow

It’s Foss has been pretty mid for a while, maybe ever?

Ironic, solar panels are the only energy generation method that doesn’t use vapour to spin a thing.*

*yes, wind turbines, but they spin thing directly

Unless you have fiber from your ISP you need a modem to translate from the TV or phone cable to Ethernet.

I’m not a fan of openWRT. I’d recommend you go look at NUC-style x86 mini PCs with multiple network ports instead and install OPNsense. I find the web interface much more intuitive than LuCI

Just use Arch btw

Especially in an enterprise environment where plenty of people use first.lastname@company

Self hosted networking! Legitimately one of my favourite topics

You won’t get around the requirement of a publicly reachable endpoint. That can either be a small server with a public ip or dynamic DNS to your home with port forwarding for the VPN.

A classic option is OpenVPN. You can run it on Port 443 in TCP mode and while it won’t be performant, it has a better chance of bypassing most simple blocks

Other than that I’m a fan of completely decentralized mesh VPNs.

The one I use and am most familiar with is Yggdrasil. Connections can be established over TCP, TLS or QUIC on any port you want.
I’ve written a somewhat lengthy comment under this post. One advantage to Yggdrasil would be its existing public network. If you can firewall of your home lab to the point where joining the public network doesn’t expose a security risk to your local network, you could use that to transport your traffic instead of having your own public node or port forwarding.

The same post also mentions Anywherelan, it’s intended to have better NAT handling out of the box by using community nodes.

Then there’s also EasyTier mentioned at the bottom, it is a Chinese project and those tend to have good censorship resistance.

Finally I’ll mention Nebula, it requires at least one coordination server but might also be an option

Someone doesn’t know about -le or -ge in bash

Doesn’t help that Mozilla leadership is incompetent and doesn’t know what their core audience wants

Good chances their super obscure metal band is on Bandcamp

The restriction pretty much aims at companies like Amazon that rehost an open source project. That sounds pretty fair to me

This feels like a move against the open RSS based podcasting system we fortunately have at the moment. Instead of getting money from sponsor deals, creators will have to join Spotify as their main platform to get revenue and continue podcasting. Then Spotify can further lock down their content and we get a closed ecosystem.

I’ve been using a slightly customized bash-cat for years now. Still makes me smile when I see it

You can limit your speed in the dev console of most browsers

For anyone who hasn’t yet, do make sure to go through the default conversion settings in Calibre and turn off all the resizing. Title image resizing is a separate option turn that off as well.
If you use Koreader or modern enough devices it’s probably fine to default to epub3 instead of epub2 as well.

Universal Blue distros do that. For some reason you need to enter a password though.

Wrong metric

Oh cool, I somehow missed that in the docs

Yes, but AFAIK that’s only for local multicast discovery. If you have a server listening for connections somewhere, those aren’t password protected and anyone can connect to them unless you restrict the accepted keys.
