2.5 years and I recall going to the hospital to see my sister in maternity ward nursery display and asking which one was her. My dad pointed her out among the babies there but I recall not being sure of which one he meant. I also recall, from the following weeks, my parents treatment of her umbilical cord snippet with rubbing alcohol and asking what they were doing.
After that, my next coherent memory is around the toilet training stage but I don't know the exact age. I recall feeling the urge to go poop then trying to get to the bathroom but not making it. So I pooped on the floor, then picked it up with a diaper, disposed of it, and with pride told my mom what I had just accomplished.
Thanks for the question - I value the ease of configuring SOCKS5 directly in an application. As you mentioned, WireGuard split tunneling can be done with a bit more work - which is knowledge I don't have at the moment and will take time to acquire.
My ISP is not proactive in deep scanning my traffic, so SOCKS5 has been entirely sufficient in in covering me against copyright notices for the past years.
I have Gluetun ready to go for for my torrent program on my server that I can better seed, but on my workstation I'm typically not running a VPN - and the odd time I might fire up a torrent program it is nice to have the proxy settings baked in to the application in case I forget to or don't care to toggle the VPN on.
My VPN plan is up for renewal, and I'd like to move from my current provider (Privado) to one that supports port forwarding while maintaining access to a SOCKS5 service.
AirVPN would have been my choice, but doesn't have SOCKS5.
Private Internet Access checks off the boxes but I'm not familiar with the company behind it.
Thanks for the help and recommendations.
That was a terrible trailer
That it does. However, I haven't used it enough to make any statements about its accuracy.
Once upon a time some warranties had that stipulation. Or you needed the UPC from the box.
Did they not just do this for the month of June? Or perhaps it has been a staggered rollout and they first increased the prices in Canada.
In an age where "willfully giving out your account password" is called hacking, here I'd call it tomato or tomato.
I was an avid Windows Phone user. What app did you develop? I might know it from the 10 that were available.
NWN is one of (if not my all time) favourite game, both offline and online.
I played through the NWN2 SP campaign and thoroughly enjoyed it ( though I started and never finished the final expansion.)
The biggest disappointment for me was the changes to multiplayer that made it a lot harder to drop into servers. If I am recalling correctly, you had to pre-download (outside of the game) the meshes for landscapes before joining a server. It was a huge barrier to entry, and even dedicated communities that tried to move from 1 over to 2, faltered.
What I'd like to know here is if this setup is continuously drawing maximum power or if the power usage only goes up when a device is within the magnetic grid.
I'm looking to replace a panel of my computer mouse with a 3D printed part. I don't want to create a permanent bond (such that it can be changed out in the future), so I was considering something like rubber cement or silicone caulking to affix it. Thought I would check with those more knowledgeable as to the suitability of those options/suggestions for others.
Thanks in advance.
P.S. Not my pictures.
Does anyone have a go to Canadian source for refurbished enterprise HDD's? I've had a good experience buying from serverpartdeals.com, but am unaware of Canadian alternatives.
I'm looking to replace my Rock 5B running Android TV (the OS jank has finally gotten to me) with an x64 Linux HTPC coupled with an Rii remote.
What distro would one recommend for a "Jellyfin native" client setup? I've run Kodi with the Jellyfin plugins before and not been a fan of the experience.
I've never had to use Windows 11. I have Windows 10 on my main machine and toy around with different Linux distros on my spares.
Now that I'm building a computer for my folks, I'm faced with the real problem that Windows 11 is going to be a big shift for them (also using windows 10) and it's going to contain so much crap (Copilot, Start Menu ads, etc) that is going to ruin the experience/overwhelm/turn them off.
I've read, with passing interest, about the myriad of "debloated" Windows installs, but never took a serious look at what is going on and what is good. Here's where I hope c/technology can point me in the right direction. Thanks!
Edit - I should have known to expect the Linux suggestions despite specifically asking about modifications to Windows. Linux is not an option due legacy software compatibility - they do more than use a browser.
I've had fun building a plucky little homelab on Proxmox 8.1.4 running kernel 6.5.13-1-pve. It's installed on an HP EliteDesk 800 G6 Desktop Mini PC, with the OS installed on a SATA SSD, there being a 4tb NVME btrfs pool, and there being multiple HDD's connected via USB3. Services are run an an LXC that has Docker installed, a couple other application specific LXC's, and a VM for HAOS.
A persistent issue I haven't been able to solve for is absolutely terrible network upload speeds. Sending files over the network to the server is generally fine, however retrieving files from the server is severely limited. 1-3 MB/s. It's bad enough that when streaming a movie through Jellyfin, attempting to copy a file from the server at the same time causes the movie to hang while Jellyfin attempts to buffer. I access many of the services locally through a domain name I own (combo of pihole local DNS and NGINX proxy manager), however these network speed issues persist even when connected directly by IP. The issue also persists when accessing the files through an LXC.
It is not a disk access issue - regardless of whether it is the HDD or any of the SSD's being accessed the results are the same. There are two NICs - one built, and a HP specific add in card the Intel I225-V. The issue persists on both.

Running iperf3 on the built in NIC (clients is a laptop connected by wifi) demonstrates the issue: Client side sending data to the server is fine and probably wifi limited, while uploads from the server are significantly slower. ```

I'm wondering if anyone is aware of a tool that could work as an internet connected dementia clock - that is displaying the time, time of day, date, and the ability to update the display remotely with reminders, notes, and messages.
I have an old iPad kicking around, which could save us from purchasing something like this.
Thanks in advance!
Is there any reason why there don't seem to be any releases of Persona 5 for the PC? Anything I find is either Nintendo Switch or PS3 packaged alongside emulators. Does it really come down to the dramatic Denuvo cracker not bothering to have a go at this one?
Is there a relatively simple way to block network access to a program? Avoiding the command line ideally.
Heroic Launcher has a "run game offline" toggle for games that are installed/added through it, but I am trying to cut out the middle man and install non-steam games directly through Steam.
Steam launch commands? Any built in firewall?
Thanks in advance!
Hello! I finally decided to tackle a problem I've been putting off for some time, and got myself part of the way there but am now stuck, and hoping to find some assistance/information/nudge in the right direction.
The Goal
I am looking to have my services reached at the same url on both my internal network and externally (e.g. https://sub.domain.com).
The Setup
- Proxmox Host
- LXC running NPM with its own IP
- LXC running Docker with its own IP, and services each have a different port
- VM for Home Assistant
- SBC running Pihole + unbound
The current workflow looks like:
- Router points to Pihole as the DNS server for all network devices.
- Pihole has local DNS records that redirect specific subdomains to the NPM LXC (I don't use a wildcard *.domain.com because some subdomains are hosted outside of my network, though they are outside the scope of this post).
- NPM has Proxy Hosts that are set up using HTTP to the Docker services on the 2nd LXC.
- Cloudflare tunnels are set up to point the same subdomains, when accessed externally, to the NPM LXC. As a bonus Cloudflare tunnels also handles the DDNS, zero trust (2FA) applications, and SSL.
The Problem
The current set up results in internal access taking place over HTTP while external access takes place over Cloudflare tunnels' HTTPS. This causes problems for some phone applications that require spelling out the connection type during set up, or even some applications that only allow access over HTTPS even when it's on the same network (looking at you Quillpad and Nextcloud Cookbook).
The Ask
I am not familiar with the steps that would be required to adjust my current set up such that all services accessed on my home network would connect over HTTPS. I am aware that external access over Cloudflare tunnels causes some wrinkles in using NPM's standard Let's Encrypt certificate & DNS challenge, which I believe means I need to use a certificate provided by Cloudflare. However, between Edge/Client/Origin/etc certificates, I am not sure what would get used and how that needs to be configured in NPM.
Any advice, reading material, video walkthroughs, etc is most welcome. Thank you in advance for any help!
I am wondering what can be done in Linux to reduce CPU power consumption. In Windows, I'm familiar with setting and testing power limits and undervolting using Throttlestop (amazing tool), but to my knowledge no such tool (command line or otherwise) exists for Linux.
I've recently acquired an HP Mini G6 with a full fat i7 10700, which came as a surprise as it was advertised as 10700T when I went to pick it up.
I was after the T CPU due to the lower power consumption for an always on home server that sees occasional use (media server, file sharing, image backup, etc)
Also, I don't actually know if the idle power consumption between the 10700 and the 10700T is actually any different, or if the T only prevents the CPU from boosting as hard - if anyone could clear that up! Cheers.
