There might be a paid way. At work we have our phone numbers tied into zoom which ties into calling other phone numbers. It is used as a backend switchboard. So you could have a zoom number as your signal number which routes to your landline. Maybe.
Deja DUP has auto validation also. But besides “backup” I think everyone suggests using ZFS that auto heals bit rot. And don’t trust unplugged SSDs, they can suffer bit rot quickly if stored in a hot location
You can use any open port and port forward at the router, or is CG NAT only 80
Just setup wireguard on your server, add masquerading and ip forwarding. That single wireguard in, will give you full access to your lan
Firefox browser, and click immersive reader/simplified view icon next to url. No more paywall
2.5admins is a great show even if you aren’t an admin.
Still been going with multiple shows. I don’t think it was “dropped”, if I recall Chris bought back the rights to his own shows, so he could manage it himself. There was some controversy when the head managers let Joe Ressington go, bypassing Chris (as Joe’s Manager). Seemed things got set in motion to go independent after that.
Yeah it definitely is a pain for adding multiple machines.
I can’t offer technical network advice on vps headscale; Personally I’m not confident in my network skills. I would be more inclined to go through the pain of manually setting up wireguard instead of having a tailscale or headscale service-- and skipping the middleman so to speak.
Edit: setting up a new system this month, Tumbleweed has moved to SE Linux Enforcing as default. It provided some ssh and samba challenges at first until I learned about setting SEL policies. So maybe hardening with SE Linux would also be smart. For example I could SSH remotely into my machine but due to policies being locked down I could not run user bash, or even see contents of the home folder.
You are lucky. Underground cables? We are West Coast of Canada, generally fine all summer, but November is windy season and maybe once a year it is out for a few hours when trees have taken out power lines. Its the undervolt or overvolt that people don’t notice unless they monitor it. My UPS sometimes kicks in for a minute or two, and the report shows 100v instead of 110v, or sometimes a surge of 129 for a brief period. 15 years ago I never cared, till I was doing workfrome home design contracting, and lost a whole days work to power outage and corrupted files. The UPS became cheap insurance.
Cyberpower 1500 AVR for me. Router, WiFi, and server run off of it. It has kept me going on the internet during power outages as well as ding voltage correction when we have under or overvolt power moments. And I use the cyberpower Linux app they provide to set server shut down time based on battery level. It has saved my equipment a few times. We have occasional wind induced power failures here (overhead power lines) and had a crow land on a transformer and explode which immediately triggered the UPS to clean the sudden blip. Also had an HP laptop power charger fuse itself internally and UPS detected the short and shut down all power. Without that UPS, the pack might have overheated if the panel breaker didn’t sense the short.
Its good for keeping your firewall or other services running, like homeassistant, during powered outages. But UPS also corrects power when it is dirty and protects your equipment.
For somebody that can install software from a store fedora or Zorin or Mint would be solid suggestions.
For your dad you could try OpenSUSE, it has nvidia hosted repos for Nvidia with the GUI package updater, but I think bazzite has an nVidia spin doesn’t it?
No, she is very bad with tech. I have added everything she needs for her web, email, spreadsheet, zoom call use. NixOS is super easy for an average person who can edit a text file though. You go to this site https://search.nixos.org/packages , search what you want, it gives you the code to paste into your config, and run a rebuild…or options for a temp install. Seems painless.
Only tech savvy for installing an OS, other than that Linux is a better experience for less tech savvy users. My wife struggled with Windows and how things don’t make sense (it was also slow) so I setup nixOS with GNOME, no more complaints
Anonymously report them. Don’t call police they will come and take the server
It would be bad if it was the least powerful Mac ever, It makes mW laugh they need to tell people it is the most powerful everytime
This is why a government needs an actual technical expert. What UK has done is make icloud less safe for everyone, while the “criminal” activity they seem to want to be privy to will force criminals to use another method of data transfer/securing.
Yep, that’s what moved me to OpenOffice and now libreoffice
We are lucky, we get two free. Technically they aren’t true static, its tied to MAC of your modem, or your router(s) – with ISP modem in bridge mode. You can pay for true static, but I have probably had the same IP for 5 years, and same with the modem/routerbeforre this one.
