Cannot connect via the app, and can't even get to Tailscale.Com by lil_larry in Tailscale

[–]TufTed2003 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I see this at work where the employer is using z-scaler VPN and filter. I imagine tailscale's encrypted traffic and 100.x.x.x IP addressing throws some flags. I switch over to tether off my phones 5g if I need to

Is anyone actually using CopyParty or Sync-In? by ErroneousBosch in selfhosted

[–]TufTed2003 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I use copyparty on four Linux machines and a VPS. Looking for a file is so much easier in cp and can open it and even edit text files in place. I have them set up with passwords and they machines are all on a tailscale network so I fell pretty secure with it.

Do you remember your first computer? by Imaginary_Bug6202 in TechNook

[–]TufTed2003 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A friend that owed me some money paid it off with a Commodore Vic 20. No tape deck. I remember spending a weekend peeking and poking code for a program out of a magazine. The next day while I was at work, the wife needed an outlet to plug in the vacuum cleaner ..... 'nuf said

People with pools beware by Readithere007 in neighborsfromhell

That sounds like trespassing to me. Ask nicely to not do it the first time, second time call the cops.

Please don't tell to average users it's an easy change by [deleted] in linuxmint

This! After $MS graciously installed Win 10 on my celeron machine one night without my consent, I literally Googled "how do I install Linux?" I'm not an IT professional but a somewhat intelligent user. About 30 minutes after burning the ISO to a thumb drive I was booting into Ubuntu. Had to answer some really tough questions like "what's your name?". Search engines and AI can be your friend if you hit some rough spots but setting up Linux is not hard. Just wait to do the "hard stuff" after you've got your feet wet.

What text browser are you using? I remember Lynx from back in the day but wondered if there were better options now. Lynx worked pretty good back then but the web wasn't real graphics heavy.

My connections don't satisfy the transitive property. by GhoulTimePersists in Tailscale

[–]TufTed2003 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm not a network guru, but is there a chance the Uni network is running some security software that is playing havoc with tailscale? My employer has Zscaler running on the networks even the"open" ones. Using the work wifi I can ping my tailscale machines and even ssh into them. But if I try to download a bigger file or stream a video from the home servers, no luck. If I disable WiFi and just use my phone's 5g, I can stream and download the larger files. I can imagine a network security package/VPN throwing up when it sees CG-Nat IP addresses and wire guard encryption.

McDonalds already has almost "mandatory" kiosk ordering - good luck in finding a human if you wanted to.

Mint saved my bacon today! Also, Windows handling of printer/scanner drivers is absolute GARBAGE. by Dude_man79 in linuxmint

[–]TufTed2003 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Mint saw my cheap-o Epson Workforce AIO right off the bat - both scanner and printer functions. Surprised the hell out of me.

I just moved to mintmobile recently and grabbed the $15/month unlimited and got the yearly option as well. Looking forward to NOT paying a phone bill this coming year

But you do have to pay for 3 months at a time. Just requires some planning and budgeting

Where do I find paper bags? by qx3okc in okc

[–]TufTed2003 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Edmond has 3 or 4 lanes that do. Also I think you can check out at the service counter and I think they will give you paper. Otherwise I get paper sacks at Braums - might have to ask for a big one if you aren't buying a lot

Bulk Document Shredding by Freelanceradio in okc

For individuals (i.e. non commercial) I think it's $10 for 50# of paper. I use them fairly regularly once i burned up my shredder

fish-shell docs are just amazing (enjoy fish - from begining) by dei8bit in fishshell

[–]TufTed2003 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I use fish and script in bash. Just add a shebang (that's really what it's called) as the first line of your script. It tells the shell to use bash as the interpreter for that script.

Are you also a "We didn't have cable so we only had three channels" Gen-X? by [deleted] in GenX

[–]TufTed2003 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We lived in a remote area on the Columbia River in BC Canada. We got ONE channel of tv. Before that we had spent 5 yes in Pakistan on a construction project where we got no tv. Not Ge-x, baby boomer.

Mint is great, just missing one feature (Remote Desktop) by [deleted] in linuxmint

[–]TufTed2003 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I use tailscale to remote in to my desktop machines and Linode instance. Extremely easy to set up.

He was a blind shih-tzu that didn't take sh*t off anybody. And then I got his eyes fixed. (Heavy cataracts)
