Ahh the shouting from the rooftops wasn't aimed at you, but the general group of people in similar threads. Lots of people shill tailscale as it's a great service for nothing but there needs to be a level of caution with it too.

I'm quite new to the self hosting game myself, but services like tailscale which have so much insight / reach into our networks are something that in the end, should be self hosted.

If your using SMB locally between VMs maybe try proxmox, https//clan.lol/ is something I'm looking into to replace Proxmox down the line. I share bind-mounts currently between multiple LXC from the host Proxmox OS, configuration is pretty easy, and there are lots of tutorials online for getting started.

I still use it, the service is very handy (and passes the wife test for ease of use)

Probably some tinfoil hat level of paranoia, but it's one of those situations where you aren't in control of a major component of your network.

Tailscale is great, but it's not something that should be shouted from the rooftops.

I use tailscale with nginx / pihole for my home services BUT there will be a point where the "free" tier of their service will be gutted / monetized and your once so free, private service won't be so free.

Tailscale are SAAS (software as a service), once their venture capital funds look like their running dry, the funds will be coming from your data, limiting the service with a push to subscription models or a combination.

Nebula is one such alternative, headscale is another. Wire guard (which tailscale is based on) again is another.

The comment change?

If so that was fun, I updated my hyprland / hy3 flakes and I was bombarded by flashing red notifications indicating I'd caused Satan to return. Trawling through all my hyprland Configs I eventually put an end to the chaos.

If not, I guess I'll find out next time I update my flakes lol.

I just installed xpipe and found i was habitually double clicking, found after I had a good 3 + terminal sessions running I'd best find out why.

Ahh man gotta love NVIDIA. Most of my machines have an NVIDIA GPU, but I've had only a few minor issues along the way. Mostly from me not reading things correctly.

Saw issues with flickering electron applications, sleep somehow running the GPU until my battery was drained, hyprland just saying not today and random crashes here and there.

Systems are pretty stable now, laptop runs fine in hybrid mode (AMD / NVIDIA) and I removed almost all electron applications.

I've found if I can't figure something out I'll start a new module for another package. But I guess if it's something "mission critical" in your case a GPU then it's pretty hard to do much else.

Tried the unstable installer?

Had my boss trying to grab a pdf (crosswords, colouring pages, printed for kids in a pub) while using Chrome without any adblock extensions.

The volume of ads, trick links, and shite on that one website in particular was outstanding. She asked me if a link was OK to click. Promptly pointed out she should use Firefox (which has unlock and other extensions added) instead of chrome as the link she had clicked was for some sketchy software and not a crossword.

I can't imagine the internet without ad blockers. Ublock is a great addition, removing elements from pages is a huge advantage. So many sites sling rubbish wherever they can.

Chinese companies see lots of funding from their government in specific fields.

Same from any nation really, but don't think the ticket price isn't reduced from those subsidies / donations / how ever you want to paint it.

I believe the EU are planning to tax Chinese made vehicles based on how much support they are receiving from their government.

Love my old Garmin vivoactive 2? Screen looks like shit but it's readable in any setting. It's pretty basic, use it for cycling as it talks to my chest-strap heart rate monitor.

I've got a pixel watch too, it's a typical 1st gen product. Half baked but gets the job done, battery is an all-day for me (no Sim model). It's got some scratches and blemishes all over the face, see how long it kicks around for.

Shedding weight fast is a great method for excess skin that requires cosmetic surgery to remove. Slowly losing weight can reduce but not eliminate the requirements for surgery.

Good friend of mine lost almost half his body weight in around 4 years, his arms, legs are all OK but his stomach area needs some work. I can't imagine the hardship people "competing" on the biggest loser need to go through once the season is over.
