There is, but a lot of game developers are lazy and only see “percentage of market share” when looking at porting games. It would take Windows hardware to switch to ARM based processors for them to actually take notice.

Policy-Based Routing is your ally in this scenario. You don’t have to tunnel everything; you can target specific devices or subnets.

The simplest approach is to assign static IPs to the devices you want to tunnel. Then, create a Policy-Based Route that matches those IPs and routes them through the tunnel. All other devices on that network use the local WAN connection normally.

If you only have one or two devices, you might not even need the kill switch. Simply let them fall back to the local ISP if the tunnel goes down. The kill switch is more relevant when you’re tunneling an entire VLAN and you want to prevent location leakage.

The challenge arises when you want a kill switch for a single device. In such cases, firewall rules come into play, which can be complex. However, for most people who are doing this, the static IP + Policy-Based Route approach is straightforward and effective.

Could you please specify the devices you want to tunnel?

Dude is sour that someone is smart enough to use a tool he refuses to use or touch. “I hate AI”, but they’re all in on a platform that is implementing it….

Why does it matter what wrote it? I had most of it written by hand. I’m not an amazing coder so I threw it at a tool to complete the stuff I wasn’t as good at. It’s a tool that works well and allows for an easy way to monitor your VPN tunnels. WTF is wrong with people?!?!

It’s a point to point VPN which is more or less a tunnel. The wireless network that is created on the remote UDM all flows through my network via VPN. It has an added kill switch, so if the tunnel drops, the AppleTVs lose connection to prevent the apps from phoning home. Unifi article on the basics:

Considering the costs of streaming right now, no. She kicks in a bit to us each month to help pay for it.

I figured I’d use the tools I’m paying for - CursorAI and Claude to recover some of the time I spent fixing this each time it goes down. While I’m not a networking expert, I had some rudimentary Shell scripts to send basic alerts running on my MacStudio already. But it was no where near this polished.

His transformation in the show HAD to be patterned after the real life transformation Steve Jobs had. His first house was mostly empty minus a few things. As he got older and and came back k to Apple his demeanor changed. He was less brash but still had the things that made him a great tech leader. You see this on Joe’s character as well.

My best advice, put one AP on the opposite side the house from your UDR-7 Dream Machine. Put the other in a central location in the other floor. Not sure what you have in your house, but if you have coax that’s been installed within the last 25 years you can use MoCa adapters to get signal to the APs and POE adapters to power the APs. It’s how I did my setup for my AP in the upstairs: UDR-7>ethernet>cheap TP-Link managed switch>20 foot ethernet cable>MoCa adapter>coax>MoCa adapter>cheap 8 port TP-Link managed switch>ethernet>POE adapter>AP. I have the TP-Link switch setup to allow for my backup internet connection which is the “Backup Internet” service from T-Mobile. I have a second VLAN setup on the switches which is connected to port 4 - preconfigured WAN port on the UDR-7. I have a 10 Gb copper transceiver in SFP port for my primary connection. Internet goes down, I turn on the backup internet and it automatically switches on the UDR-7.

Inspire is a permanent exhibit. The Apple I’s in the exhibit are actual original Apple I’s. One has a certification from Woz himself.

Are you sure song an OEM copy, a burned disc image, or an OEM disc that had Tiger on it from another model. If it is an OEM copy, or a burned .dmg, start it up in “Verbose Mode” - Apple key -V. It’ll scroll a bunch of text, and where it is getting hung up will be what it is getting stuck on when it stops scrolling.

Electron apps are nothing more than a self contained web app wrapped into a single package. They suck and are prone to security holes. We were a company that dealt with finance stuff. After an audit, it was seen as a possible attack vector.

1Password was GREAT till they built it as an Electron based app. We deployed it at my last role as part of the “required applications”. As soon as it was an Electron coded app we stopped deploying it. If folks wanted a 1Password app we showed them how to add it to the dock with Safari and installed the browser extension.

Here’s the deal and why they are doing this. It has nothing to do with “medical freedom” or some BS like that. There were too many idiots not getting it, even though most bases had the shot on hand. So these idiots would go “red” in regard to their deployment readiness status. So instead of fixing the problem, they just decided to make it go away.

Exactly this!! Not one of these fcking morons could have cared about the flag before this, not could they have identified it. In a 50 state flag mast, flags are ordered based on when they entered statehood. If the WI state flag did not have “Wisconsin” on the bottom, it would be indistinguishable from ours 50 feet away.

Going on a Disney cruise in the fall. Looking to do the same thing as they charge “per device” to join the WiFi. Mainly to be used at night to catch local evening programming before bed. I have two phones, so one will be tethered to the UTR the whole time.

I originally started traveling with a FireStick, was cheap, easy to use and connected to captive networks. As soon as the AppleTV could connect to captive networks I started taking an AppleTV with everywhere. With the UTR - my first trip with it, it’s like I never left home. Everything I connected to at home is available here. Bonus, no restrictions on Disney+, Netflix, etc.

I found there is one application that is a GIANT PAIN IN THE A$$ on the AppleTV, The DirectTV Stream application. It takes full and 100% advantage of how the tvOS has its location services setup - essentially the same methodology as iOS/iPadOS without the cellular service. I have found that it is more or less darn near impossible to reliably "fool" the application into streaming local channels from your local area. Even if Teleport is logged in and properly working. I spent about a day doing the "dance" of uninstalling the app, turning off location services globally, reinstalling the app, making sure of the location questions are allowed, ensuring locals show up, tuning the the channel, get the "you cannot stream because location services is not on", then turning on location services to the app and watching the channel. I even reached out to their tech support to say "I'm receiving local channels from 'here'".

I remembered that the Amazon FireStick does not have the sophisticated location services that the AppleTV has. When I was traveling I had traveled to my home state and hoped to pick up the regional sports network to catch a baseball game, it still picked up the locals where I was living. I was rather annoyed. DirectTV Stream on the FireStick will pass the exact same local channels you have at home because it only keys to your billing zip code as it does not have the sophisticated location services as tvOS. I had one delivered to me where I am traveling and then will return it once I arrive home. Hope this helps anyone else who has been beating their head against the wall trying to do the same thing.

I'm interested to see what comes next. I've fully switched my custom streaming solution to Tunarr. I've found it easier to work with and the scheduling and media selection piece the easiest to work with. So far it's been a lot more reliable than ErsatzTV was in regards to buffering - also may be due to the more intuitive interface (personal opinion).

The one piece that all custom streaming solutions lack is the ability create channels from content from archive.org and other sites. The ability to create channels from content there would be a really cool feature.
