I really can’t stand the Tesla sound, it’s the worst. I can’t quite put my finger on it but it’s both uncanny and grating. I’ll be in my apartment and suddenly there’s this high-pitched screaming of sorts; it doesn’t sound like the car is doing well.
I stopped using it 20 years ago and have never had a need for it since. It sucked then and it still sucks now; I’ve even installed it a couple times in a VM for fun but always ended up deleting it after a few hours. I really don’t understand why someone would choose to tolerate such low quality software even for the most basic of tasks.
“shaking my head my head”
I suppose what I could do is download a supported image (like OpenWRT) then get the image layout details from that in order to build my own image.
I know I’m going about it the hard way but it’s something I don’t mind learning.
I’m familiar with writing images, but I’d be crafting it myself since there’s no official one from Alpine Linux for the specific SoC.
I’m simply interested in running Alpine Linux on it.
It’s exactly that, I’m simply interested in running Alpine Linux on it.
Have you confirmed that with something like https://www.dnsleaktest.com? DNS leaks are common so it’s good to check.
What do you do if your hardware is housed at home with crappy residential upload speeds?
It’s a genuine question because I’ve settled for hosting on Storj, but because my friends and family can’t be bothered to connect via its client I’m running a WebDAV rclone proxy on a VPS over Tailscale. So not only am I paying for the storage itself, I’m also paying for transferring the data and on top of all that, it defeats the point of Storj being P2P from and end-user perspective.
God this is a fantastic way to explain climate change
Shit, I’m a web developer and I’m fed up with all the ads, tracking and stalking that goes on. It’s so ingrained like “why not use Google for analytics?” or “just host it on Amazon.” 90% of the services we use at work I refuse to use at home (and go as far as outright blocking them).
I just built a DIY router on Alpine Linux. I don’t want to deal with an entire web UI and all that trash. I just want minimal Linux and some ip6tables.
I can’t fault you for that. I’m not trying argue they’re perfect devices by any means.
I use Beeper because I can’t stand all these fucking apps. Preferably everyone would switch to Signal but that won’t happen.
I really love what Ubiquiti is trying to do, but I understand where you’re coming from. I ditched the EdgeRouter X because I just couldn’t do anything really advanced with it.
I don’t have a Dream Machine nor a 192.168.0.0/16 network but my access point receives an IP via DHCP from a non-Ubiquiti router just fine. In fact, the controller running in Docker doesn’t even come up itself after a power failure so I’m really lost on what you’re talking about here.
I use (paid) Apple News, and I really enjoy it. Are there no other “pay once” platforms out there?
My only complaint is that some articles still show ads despite being subscribed, but that’s taken care of with DNS-based ad blocking (though you have to also block a a hostname pointing to an Apple DoH server which I find funny).
…isn’t it in a lot of countries? I read it was kind of a big deal when this started in the US.
Those websites (and tons of others) will tell you who your ISP appears to be. Whether or not a service considers it a datacenter isn’t set in stone, but usually it’s easy to tell based on what’s shown there.
Edit: If you’re getting the captchas it’s probably because you appear to be on a VPN.
For me in a big city it’s the annoyance of always being a part of the crowd. My free time is the same as everyone else’s now so traffic is always terrible on my days off (weekends), stores are always packed before/after work. Even walking my dogs becomes annoying because every other dog in the neighborhood is outside too.
Thankfully I work from home so I try to get out and walk the dog during lunch; if I have any errand to run I can just take my lunch later when everyone else has gone back to the office.
The other hard part for me is the afternoons; they drag on endlesssly. As a night person waking up in the morning was just killer, but I’ve finally adapted after… 10 years.
