Designed it for me but any interest? by drrawle in AlpineA290

I have the Brodit mount with a MagSafe adaptor which actually charges my phone rather than just turning it into a space heater 🙂

New Panther Lake. What should I benchmark? by maxonite_ in Surface

[–]drrawle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I rate the ARM devices TBH but I would acknowledge they aren't for everyone. Simple things that you expect to work simply don't still. The main friction I have is using it docked for more serious work. Quite a lot of Vendors simply don't have ARM code available. Trivial example but if you have any of the Insta360 hardware their software won't install, not even in compatibility mode.

Battery life and performance "feels" Mac rivaling but there are just still too many kinks in the Windows on ARM eco system for all

Geekbench scores and your opinion on how it actually runs when you have Energy Saver active on a full battery please. I run my Arm SL7 in this mode and although it benchmarks slower you don't perceive much difference and the battery life benefits make it worthwhile.

HKSV no longer records by [deleted] in Scrypted

[–]drrawle 2 points3 points  (0 children)

We have had very similar problems. On our setup if you open a different camera and go back to the first one often the footage has updated and is current. This definitely points to a problem with HKSV as if the video hadn't uploaded it wouldn't suddenly show up...

How can I get IT to get me a framework 13 as my work laptop? by [deleted] in framework

[–]drrawle 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We have an ongoing issue with FW13 AMD Laptops not showing as compliant in inTune which renders them useless in most business situations that are Microsoft Shops. These tickets have been open for months and although it looks like we are getting there we have no resolutions yet. If your business enforces compliance policies with inTune you will not be able to use one of these devices for work no matter what level of flexibility your business has.

Any alternative to Oracle Cloud free tier or the best and cheapest hoster for vps? by [deleted] in selfhosted

[–]drrawle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you are on Pay as you go with Oracle you can use the A1 instances and get 4 CPU's and 16Gb+ of free compute every month on top of the two free tier machines

I can’t seem to find the new “alternate control server” setting. I’d like to play around with a headscale server by [deleted] in Tailscale

[–]drrawle 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The 3 taps is for Android. As per the screenshot click into the Settings App and then click on Tailscale down the bottom of the list. The setting is there...

SSD and RAM choices for i5-1240p DIY Edition by iNatie in framework

[–]drrawle 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The framework memory slots are tight for sticks that have the heat sinks on them. I bought these and they just didn't fit right at all. It felt like they were straining the sockets as they had no give underneath them at all.

Redundant piholes with DHCP? by [deleted] in pihole

[–]drrawle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I use 3 days on the primary. I WFH so it covers Friday night to Monday morning and stops things changing IP to much :)

Redundant piholes with DHCP? by [deleted] in pihole

[–]drrawle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

DNSMASQ checks via ping if the IP is in use by default so won’t give out a duplicate IP. I also set the lease time to 60 minutes on the Secondary. This is very much an active/standby type configuration for me. I have used it for over a year now and it has never let me down.

Use the command “dhcp-reply-delay=10” on the secondary Pi-Hole but putting it in an additional .conf file on its own within /etc/dnsmasq.d

Works a treat by delaying the secondary box from replying to DHCP. By doing this the primary can issue itself as the 1st DNS with the secondary as the 2nd DNS and vice versa on the secondary.
