VPN recommendations, Summer 2025
  • Few good things:

    1. They don't have ability to keep logs (even if they wanted)
    2. Their wireguard speeds can keep up with fiber (800mbps with 1gbps fiber)
    3. I've not seen any connection drops.

    Downside: No port forwarding, this I've remedied with headscale server and tailscale clients. Port forwarding is needed if u want to access your home network from outside

  • Music recommendation / auto playlist

    I currently use finamp (on phone), volumio (for home speakers). I wanted to know if plugin either server side or client side exist which can play songs automatically based on first song played? I want to be able to select a song and play similar songs instead of manually creating playlist and updating them when new content is added.

    [EDIT] : very early impressions (using both symfonium and Finamp). Both of them can't jump languages (English, Arabic, Hindi)

    I prefer Finamp track mix for Hindi songs (album contains multiple genre and artists). It seems to play similar sounding songs easily.

    Navigation service with traffic/weather data
  • Didn't notice online tab at all while trying to look through settings so many times.

    Looking for routing change info would take me to documentation which explains things about changing XML.

    Thank you so much for pointing out that exact webpage.

  • Navigation service with traffic/weather data

    I use osmand, however is there a plugin or separate app that uses traffic data or weather data (road closure/accidents).

    Remarkable paper pro too fragile

    I think remarkable paper pro is still too fragile to buy. I've seen other reports but happened to me as well. Tablet is developing cracks just sitting around. Thankfully it's still functional, but since they don't fix broken screen and refurbished is same price as new, I think I'll just hold off buying new one until next gen or any other device shows up.

    Just wanted to rant/share.

    Soulseek down / not searching?

    Has something changed regarding soulseek? I don't seem to get any results for searching. I tried previously searched terms and even those are returning blank. If there is better place to ask question/debug help regarding soulseek, let me know.

    [EDIT Solved]: as suggested in comments : some artists are unsearchable

    Charging without smartphone

    I don't own an EV yet so have a pretty basic question. Do all charging stations need smartphone (app) to use? Can I just drive up to a station and pay to charge? (If yes which network)

    USA specific (of others r interested just add international info as well)

    Using waze voice prompt in osmand

    Is it possible? (waze has mp3 files available) - https://github.com/pipeeeeees/waze-voicepack-links

    [EDIT] osmand path is : /storage/emulated/0/Android/data/net.osmand.plus/files/voice/en

    Going to try replacing some of those files, as long as purpose matches. I'll update this thread.

    Voice assistant and/or car UI

    I would like to control few functions while driving. navigation (osmand), play music (multiple apps) are main ones. As of now I think either voice assistant or car UI are 2 options. So are there any apps supporting these?

    Trying to understand pressure regulator

    [EDIT2] (at top to make sure visibility) All good, as explained in one of the posts. I shouldn't expect pressure regulator to work directly at faucet. (Use tee or splitter) Here is video https://youtu.be/gp4aquT19LA

    [Just started looking into drip irrigation] I'm using rainbird 25PSI pressure regulator along with pressure guage. (https://www.amazon.com/Rain-Bird-HT07525PSI-Irrigation-Regulator/dp/B0049C5FZA)

    Pressure guage measures about 70PSI without regulator (directly at garden faucet), however this doesn't really change even after using pressure regulator.

    Am I misunderstanding pressure regulator? or is guauge/regulator broken?

    [EDIT] Here is what I'm talking about (in both cases it reads about 60PSI):

    How do I use exportify or any other option to download favorites / playlists etc (in lossless format) from any music services. I'm using soulseek but I'll check any other option if available. [EDIT]: I'm not trying to download from Spotify, looking for interfacing workflow between Spotify and Soulseek.

    Can steam link run with guest aspect ratio / resolution

    I want to access my pc / steamdeck from laptop. All 3 devices have different aspect ratio screens. Is there a way to use steam link with guest (laptop in this case) aspect ratio? Or is there any other solution than steam link?

    [EDIT]: I don't game as much, I'm mostly accessing PC / deck (in desktop mode) from laptop. When I'm playing game I generally use actual device.

    [EDIT2]: Decided to go with sunshine - moonlight, seems to do everything I was looking for.

    Frame drops after some time of playing division 2

    FPS counter at bottom right shows consistent, however game stutters (feels like low FPS).

    What can be the causes or how do I start debugging? (Installed ubisoft client through lutris and then added it to steam library)

    Mumble instead of discord

    I'm trying to get my group to play games with mumble instead of discord.

    I see lot of interest and ease of installation around matrix and jitsi, however mumble seems not talked about much.

    I am looking for a guide of sort to setup mumble the easy way, i don't want to get new domain and vps and i don't want to open ports in my home router.

    I've tailscale/headscale running off site with tunnel to home And i also have matrix server running with traefik.

    If anyone have experience in the similar scenario i would like to know

    Solo 2C+NFC vs Yubikey 5C NFC

    I'm looking to get started with hardware keys. My use case is (to start with): Running vaultwarden instance and would like to lock/unlock vaultwarden with hardware key and vaultwarden takes care of actual password storage

    I'm looking at solokeys just because of open source nature, however I didn't find much info about protocol support.

    For Yubikey 5C NFC I see following >>Multi-protocol: YubiKey 5 Series is the most versatile security key supporting multiple authentication protocols including FIDO2/WebAuthn (hardware bound passkey), FIDO U2F, Yubico OTP, OATH-TOTP, OATH-HOTP, Smart card (PIV) and OpenPGP.

    I don't yet use OTP / PIV etc. Is there a tabular form of comparison between 2? Is there any downside in getting solokeys?

    Using Lian Li with OpenRGB

    Hi I'm looking at

    !

    and looking at products like: https://lian-li.com/product/uni-fan-tl/, https://lian-li.com/product/galahad-ii-lcd/ . However these products are not listed on OpenRGB devices list. Am I correct to assume, if I use https://lian-li.com/product/uni-hub-sl-controller/ (not sure about V2 or V2.5) to connect these fans and AIO - I can use OpenRGB without any issue?

    Building with Lian Li abd Linux

    I'm currently using system from 2016, planning to upgrade. With current length of GPU, my current case can't accommodate them so need the case as well.

    I'm thinking of Lian Li evo XL. however my question is regarding Linux compatibility for all the RGB elements (fans, AIO) etc. Are they well supported (if anyone have an experience)

    I'm open to suggestions as well (case and cooling) If Lian Li is not supported.
