The people have spoken, the politicians need to sit down and shut up... especially the republican ones. Who keeps voting these assholes into office anyway?

I think you might be confusing intelligence with memory. Memory is compressed knowledge, intelligence is the ability to decompress and interpret that knowledge.

Have you considered self-hosting? Nextcloud is a great alternative to stuff like Google docs, etc...

Arc Browser is better for USERS. Ad companies are just going to have to figure it out. Sounds like a "them" problem to me

Yeah, there are no farms or individuals with chicken coops in the US, how could we possibly know where eggs come from?

/s (In case it wasn't obvious)

I'm using wireguard but I hear a lot of good things about tailscale.

I toyed with this idea, but the directory structures are completely different, and they both keep their own databases. If one updates images, the other database will be out of sync. IMHO, it's best to keep them separate

When "this lemon is too sour" is the problem, maybe "here, try this orange" is the solution. Can you imagine responding like "No! People are always talking about oranges! I'm sick of it and won't try one!" Ridiculous...

they usually don't win

Sorry, had to make that a bit more accurate. For all those wondering how futile voting for anything other than the two major parties is, these are the ones that did the best https://www.thoughtco.com/most-successful-independent-presidential-candidates-3367561

It basically comes down to: voting independent = voting republican. I'm not saying that's always the case, but it seems to be the trend that voting outside the two major parties is stealing votes from the democrats

They're probably geo-locking it, too, so it will really be just English in just the US

You're cheering for Apple, which is the highest value company in the world. Maybe check the opponent before rooting against Google

But you could be fire a green up-line

As a university graduate, I approve this message. Trade schools are underrated and seem to be almost demonized in many places (my public school, for instance). They should be promoted more heavily

I looked at Traccar for a little bit but found that (based on the availability of documentation / user posts) OwnTracks seems to be more popular. After setting up OwnTracks and comparing it to PhoneTrack, it was OBVIOUS that PhoneTrack is superior... at least for me. I'll take another look at Traccar tonight and see if it compares. Thanks!

Exactly! It's just so convenient from an app platform standpoint, though... But, it just feels strange to keep a tool around, who's main job is basically file management, just for an app platform when those apps' functionality can be found elsewhere. I may just keep Nextcloud around as a testbed for new functionality via its apps, then reproduce that functionality with another service in a separate container if it turns out to be useful.

Not planning on having more than 2 users so the enterprise-y type features don't really apply. Very good points though!

While I think "sucks" might be a bit of an overstatement, I agree with your point. I'm already running Syncthing as my main method of spreading important files around to different drives so the file sync part of Nextcloud isn't that important to me.

Depends on your router. I have an Asus and it has a free ddns option through their domain. I point my Wireguard client at this address and never think of it again. That way, the only port that's open on your router is a Wireguard port and they don't respond to sniffing.

If that's not a possibility, I had a ddns service before that for like $2/month

Your job is to break computers? If not, my guess is that you can do your job in such a way as to not break the computer. If not, the company really needs to reassess how your job is done

Sentience + reading lemmy.ml would do it

Same. I've lived in all the basic types of housing: apartment, duplex, house, etc... If I liked being woken up at 3am by some drunk asshole stomping around in the apartment above me or some kid storming in because they don't understand addresses yet, then I would be doing that already. Maybe other people enjoy that sort of thing? You can have your congested living conditions, but leave me and my single-family zone out of it

KoRn - Dead Bodies Everywhere

This song was a must when playing Quake 2, I'm sure it would do just fine against a MAGA-stacked Supreme Court

Doesn't say as much as "why was this rapist elected president, and why is he going to be elected again?" At this point, it's is pretty much a guarantee that this fuckhat will serve another term because pubs just want to "own them libs!" regardless of the damage it will do to society.

I'm not crazy into podcasts, but I have no complaints with podcast republic. Although, the other suggestion for audiobookshelf is a solid one

I have my router as DHCP and I also have the DNS set to the pi-hole which I'm assuming is how the devices are getting it. I'm just not sure why it's getting my router IP as well.

So is having a question and going out to find the answer yourself. I can only speak from a web dev perspective, but being able to answer your own questions via research is a huge skill and very useful in the workplace. It's also a great way to get different opinions on how things should be done. Your professor isn't always right

This is pretty much what I expected but I didn't want to assume. Thanks!

Are you able to control phone functions with assist? I don't use it mainly because I set voice timers a lot and wasn't able to find a way to do it with assist.

It takes a little experimentation to get it right, but you can find out which urls are involved with your game's ads and whitelist them

You mean like overturning Rowe vs Wade and the ridiculous Alabama Supreme Court "cell cluster = baby" bullshit? Yep they are still plenty dangerous and capable of fucking everything backward in time

The shiny white curtain, now with titanium! (for some reason...)

This is the truth, downvoters should be fucking ashamed. Her family didn't think it was racist and protested her removal. Woke assholes made it happen and pat each other on the back for a job well done. Have some clue about what you're protesting or get fucked SJWs!

Great, I guess Trump will just be president and the war will go on anyway....

The router is running DHCP and is set to hand out the Pi-hole IP as DNS. Interestingly, there's only one field for this so maybe the router is choosing itself as DNS2? If I go into WAN settings, there are fields for DNS1 & 2 but if I was under the impression that these should be set for upstream DNS.

Or, use that time to learn an actual skill...

OK, this seems to be the issue. I have this section but only one field for DNS.

Last time I tried that was... problematic. I suppose I could try again...

I'm kinda just getting started. The goal is to have a media server in addition to my current raspberry pi server that will act as a second dns. If I can't find a way to keep them synced, I'll give adguard a try

I only have one dns field. Apparently, there's a fork of asus software that provides 2 so my suspicion is that the router is automatically supplying its own IP as dns2

I don't have anything specific, self-hosting is a big subject. I recommend checking out https://lemmy.world/c/selfhosted / !selfhosted@lemmy.world There's a lot of helpful folks over there

I'm thinking that, when I decide to upgrade from my homelab-ish setup, I'll be going with one of these. I haven't looked into the software so much but just something a bit more purpose-built than a pi4 with a USB drive 😋
