If I understand well you want to have the same OS, software, configuration and files on different devices.

You could have a look at nixos.

I’m doing something similar, I have a computer in my office for work and a laptop at home for personal use and a bit of work.

I have a config shared between the two computers, they share similar modules but also have their own specificities.

This way when I configure VSCode for example I get the configuration synced on both.

For synching my files I’m using a synology NAS.

Same experience on my Fairphone 5, first crashed the OS when I tried accessing the gallery.

Now it is working but the pictures have like dead pixels on them.

I requested a code snippet and instructions for work, I got an email, with a word document attached.

In the word document there was a screenshot of the code I needed.

It looks like they are still selling almost 7000 copies per week !

Nope, definitely not.

I did not read the name of the community before posting.

I’m using Google camera app on my galaxy S10. It’s the app that is used in the google pixel but ported for different phones.

Is it really a drop in the bucket b when we take the value per vehicle ?

If we compare Ford to BYD for example.

In 2023 Ford sold around 2 millions cars and BYD around 3 millions.

For Ford only 72 608 cars out of these 2 millions were EV (3.6%) For BYD it’s was almost 1.6 million EV (53.3%)

In 2023 Ford got $9.2 billions from the US government to produce EV, so around $126 000 per EV sold in 2023.

$126 000*1 600 000 = $2 trillions ! So unless BYD received more than $2 trillions dollars from the Chinese government in 2023 it means that each EV sold by Ford is more subsidized than an EV sold by BYD.

This is not an analysis, I took huge shortcuts in this comment and might have done mistakes in the calculations.

The argument of China subsidizing EV is always coming back but I would be curious to know the comparison with the US.

The US are subsidizing EV too I would not be surprised if the amount of subsidy per EV produced is much higher for US manufacturers than China.

No,

There is all the backup of all my family pictures in the drives.

If something happens to me I want to make due that they will have access to it.

It’s a real story!

At the beginning of the 20th century Henry Ford’s electrical engineers had issues they could not solve with a gigantic generator. Henry Ford called Steimmetz, a genius mathematician working for GE to help them.

When he arrive at the factory he spent 2 days and night listening to the generator and scribbling on his notebook.

After that he asked for a ladder, climbed on it, put a chalk mark on a specific spot and explain to the engineers that they needed to remove the plate and replace sixteen windings behind the plate. After that the generator worked perfectly and Ford received a $10 000 bill.

Ford asked for an itemized bill and Steinmetz sent this

• Making chalk mark on generator $1.
• Knowing where to make mark $9,999.

Ford paid the bill.

I find that Onshape is quite good and is all browser based so it runs quite well on linux.

I was doing some blacksmithing in high school, mostly knifes.

When reaching 800°C steel is not magnetic anymore, it’s also a good temperature to start forging the steel. So I needed a atrong magnet to know when the steel was hot enough, I used what I have available: a hard drive magnet.

It felt quite “mad-maxy” to disassemble a broken hard drive to use it as a tool to forge knifes

I’ve lost some of my sanity reading this !

Tailscale is amazing, I work with a small company and we were battling with our IT contractor to have a VPN running for remote work.

After a while of things not working as it should I just set up tailscaled because I was using it with my home server and it just works.

We are now on a paid plan and everyone else is using it when working remotely.

This is the case in France. Minimum wage is automatically adjusted to inflation every year.

I’m probably not the beat person to answer to you about the technical aspect and I’m not sure if I fully understand your question.

However I can tell you that there is no need to change anything at network level for tailscale to work.

I’ve installed and used tailscale on desktops, VM, raspberry, NAS or smartphone on plenty of different network, I’ve also remotely guided people to install tailscale on their machine at home and it always just worked. No issue at all and nothing to change on the network for it to work.

What I enjoy with tailscale is that the traffic goes directly from the host to the client.

Since there is no cloud relay I can connect to all my services via tailscale, even on local network and it’s not going to impact the speed.

This way I only have one setup that works the same way on local network or remotely but still have the local network speed when I am at home.

Not really programming but I once had an issue that lasted for months like that: I’m working with a software specific to our industry that generate quotes, sales order and production orders.

For quotes and sales order a PDF can be created and archived in the right folder automatically, or you can use the windows “Print to pdf” printer to do that manually which take closes to a minute for the sales person to create the right folder, with the right name and put the PDF in there with the order number.

The automatic PDF creation fail to include our logo each time and I battled for months with the software company that was telling me that everything is working fine.

Until I looked in the metadata of the PDF the company was sending us, few of the PDFs they were sending is did not have any logo and were created by their software, some had their logo and were created with an external PDF printer.

After I realized they had the same problem internally but were lying about it I just took a day to create a python script running as a service on the server that automatically add the logo on the PDF created and that was it.

For remote access I would recommend using Tailscale or the self-hosted equivalent Headscale.

It’s extremely easy to set up and much more secure than opening ports.

Here is the instructions to install and setup Tailscale https://tailscale.com/download/
