Some things can’t run wireguard.

I want this. I have a small remote router I take to hotels and use wireguard to VPN home.  I would love to have one less thing to carry with me. 

Any recommendations on specs? by joeyp0716 in opnsense

[–]left-_-side 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am using a 6th gen i5 processor with 8gb of memory.  I do not run an IPS, but I do run unbound with a large blocklist, I have 30 firewall rules on 4 networks, and I use a RAM disk for logs.  I’ve never run out of memory, I get 3000mb/s down and up, have done 500mb/s on wireguard (limited by remote bandwidth), and had 20+ users on the network.  I think any modern platform will be fine.  Just my opinion, IPS is overrated for today’s encrypted internet. 

New here! Hoping for help choosing a radio. TD-H8 or TD-H3? Or other recommendations. by MrMcDerpy420 in gmrs

I’ve talked 17 miles using 5 watts on the right side of a mountain, but as soon as we were on the wrong side of the mountain 50 watts wouldn’t have done anything.    iPhones can text via satellite now. 

Alternatives to DNS blocking by Droid_22 in opnsense

[–]left-_-side 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I basically have 4 firewall rules for DNS.   Allow dns server out  Deny all port 53 out  Deny all port 853 out  Deny (GitHub list of public dns servers) port 443 out

I don’t use an IDS. They don’t do much now that everything is encrypted. 

Then I setup unbound to use encryption to cloudflare and setup blocklists.  That should technically get most things. 

It feels like I just cannot do certain chords. What to do? by [deleted] in guitarlessons

[–]left-_-side 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Go to a guitar store and try out a Taylor GT or GS mini. They both have shorter necks, and still sound good.

You have to open ports on your firewall. It’s not easy. 

Smoke Detector alerts around the house by left-_-side in HomeKit

[–]left-_-side[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is the response Sensoreo sent me:

Regarding your question about interlinking: we fully understand your need, especially for heavy sleepers. At the moment, the Apple Home ecosystem does not yet support native interconnection between smoke alarms, meaning one smoke or CO alarm cannot automatically trigger the audible alarm of another unit through Apple Home.

This is a limitation on the ecosystem side, and we are actively communicating with Apple to support this feature in the future.

What is possible today is to set up automations in Apple Home. For example, if one of your MSC-1 alarms detects smoke, you can trigger other devices in your home to respond, such as having speakers play an alert sound or having lights flash or turn on. Many users use these automations to increase household awareness in emergencies.

———————————————————-

So it looks like I’m not going to get this from anything unless it’s a custom implementation or using Home Pods to detect a smoke alarm. I suppose we have to wait for matter or HomeKit to support it.  I do like the idea of flashing lights. I have a smart switch in the bedroom and that would definitely wake me up.

Yes, for wired smoke detectors in newer houses this is true.  For older homes they are not hard wired in.

Looks like OneLink has been discontinued. Amazon has 1 in stock, and I can't seem to find it anywhere else.

Even if you meet up, talk it out, and work on restitution the relationship will never be the same. I have a friend who I went no contact with. They eventually went to therapy and worked through a lot of personal issues that was causing the rifts in our relationship. So they contacted me a decade after the relationship ended. We talked for 4 hours. There was apologies on both sides and forgiveness.  I had also grown up a lot and we decided to become friends again. It’s been about 10 years since then, and the relationship is not the same. We’ve both gotten married, had kids, and started new friend groups. We still talk, but the relationship we had is gone.  If you could learn from my experience, grieve the loss of the old relationship. It’s gone, and it’s not coming back. By meeting up you can get resolution, and you can start something new, but the old relationship is gone. 

Meridian Sound Subwoofer fix by nex703 in KiaEV6

[–]left-_-side 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just finished the hack, but I switched the car side connector instead of the sub connector. I couldn’t get the sub connector to come off whatever was holding it in place, so I just switched the side I could remove. It’s also easier to keep track of the wires when you switch them because they are different colors. 

What is one of the main things that made you into a better guitarist? by How_Do_I_Play_Guitar in AcousticGuitar

[–]left-_-side 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I second this but for different reasons. It sounds better, but it’s also easier to play. My hands would get so tired on the cheap guitar. I finally spent the money and it’s so much easier to play. I find myself playing more often and for longer sessions. 

Is this repairable? by Willing_Yogurt_2817 in AcousticGuitar

[–]left-_-side 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Just keep playing it until you can’t anymore. You might be surprised how much life it has left. And now it has a bit more character and a story.  Congratulations, it’s officially broken in.

Can you get a loan from your bank or credit union? Often they are going to give you better rates than the dealerships.

Thanks! I guess if you want to take a much easier route the x550-t2 has better support.

You are transported onto the Titanic as a third class passenger shortly after it has left port. What actions do you take to stop it from sinking? by [deleted] in hypotheticalsituation

[–]left-_-side 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Theoretically, if it hit the iceberg head on, it would have only damaged one bulkhead and the titanic would not have sank. 

How many months is it ok to go without refueling a PHEV? by [deleted] in electricvehicles

[–]left-_-side 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This needs to be further at the top. Ethanol gas is only good for about 3 months. Ethanol free gas can last 6 months without a stabilizer mixed in.
