Setup a segregated VLAN. Setup firewall rules to block access back to your primary network. It’s good practice for IoT devices and other devices of dubious trust.

I experienced Timeshift with LMDE about 2 or 3 years ago. (Linux Mint Debian Edition) when I heard about it I immediately re-installed using BTRFS to try it out. I gotta say snapshot backups are very fast. It really surprised me. I tried out some config changes and restores and it went very smoothly. If you can leverage Timeshift in grub then I need to watch the video and set that up asap. Nothing more annoying than trying to diagnose a failed boot or giving up and reverting to a previous kernel. (Spoiler: It’s always nvidia kernel modules)

I wonder why the author chose to use the words “fully 3D printed”? I don’t think I’m being pedantic when I say that’s a very false statement.

Space is vast. Just like dat ass.

Windows 11 has taken a feature from Linux distros called "Task View" where you can create additional "desktops". You could do something similar with that and forego the additional laptop/desktops.

This might be a little unorthodox, but this is an option to reduce hardware costs and maximize desktops.

• 1x PC
• 4x Monitors (or more if you want to buy another video card)
• 1x server to be used as a Proxmox Virtualization Environment server to host as many desktop OS's as you want.

you can split your four-monitor workstations' screen real estate any way you like. keep using the same mouse and keyboard and just tab through the virtual workstations that you need to work on.

Proxmox is free for personal use. You can run it on a dedicated desktop workstation connected to your network. you are limited to the resources in your hardware. RAM, CPU, Storage. you'll be slicing that up between the number of Virtual Machines that you create, so think about what you will be wanting. For example, if your specs are one desktop with 8G of ram and 128G of disk space. multiply that time the number of workstations you want, add the basic requirements of Proxmox as a server, and you have a good idea of what you are going to need.

If you want tons of resources you could buy a decommissioned server off of ebay. something akin to a Dell R720 or better. They can be upgraded to quite a bit of RAM and storage space. I think mine has something like 2 physical CPU's @ 32 cores, 256G of RAM, and 3.2T of disk space (RAID10). I paid around $500 for mine a few years ago. and a few dollars more to max out the RAM, and a few dollars more to add some sold state drives in the drive bays. The entire system came in under the cost of a mid-range gaming pc. or a little under the price of one NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4080.

It’s more secure to use a VPN to gain access to the network where you can access internally the services you need rather than expose many individual services to the open internet.

If I need to access something on my home network I’m not going to port forward everything through the firewall. I’m just going to use my vpn to remote in and then ssh to the system. Obviously keep your vpn server patched and up to date.

If you follow the money what could Turkey want from him?

As an American who watches a lot of British panel shows, “not bad” is as close to a glowing review as I could hope for. Our reproductions just don’t seem to capture the secret sauce for these shows. The panelists usually come across as unlikable, or miss comedic opportunities the British casts usually seize on. It’s also usually the same cast of d-list celebs who I don’t care for. If they look like they’re having a good time and not being just plain mean to each other it’ll probably work. Gonna check it out tonight. Thanks.

I haven’t owned a phone with removable storage since the Samsung Galaxy S5 back in 2015. (I miss that phone) Since then I’ve gone from iPhone, to Pixel, to Pixel, to iPhone, to iPhone. None of which had/have removable storage. Personally I don’t require much storage. The largest consumer of storage on my current phone is “Messages” at like 10G. I’m pretty sure the Photos app offloads photos to iCloud regularly so It says only 1G of storage.

I’ve owned my Stagg for about 3 years now. It’s a pretty damn good kettle, but very pricey. Since I already had the base with the Stagg purchase, I bought just the Corvo to try out and compare. When I was making pour over coffee I preferred the Stagg. (It got to be too tedious a job when waking up first thing in the morning) When making iced tea I prefer the Corvo since I am just transferring boiling water from one container to another quickly.
