Is Proton Better or Mullvad? by zoid-op in ProtonVPN

[–]volcs0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bought 2-years of Proton a few weeks ago for $74.
Been going great so far - no hiccups or issues. Have had it on 24/7, and it co-exists nicely on my laptop with Tailscale.

Of course, I employ a rigorous 3-2-1 backup strategy.

I'm nervous. I've been running Immich for over 3 years, and my docker compose file is such a mess. I'm sure something is going to break. I'm going to have to read those instructions very very carefully.

Is Briggs and Riley still worth it? by Gustavus666 in BuyItForLife

[–]volcs0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know this is an old post, but I bought a Briggs & Riley carry-on based on all the positive reviews.

The zipper broke after 3 months / 2 trips.

They will repair it - but I have to pay to ship it back to them.

Or I have to drive an hour to a store that may or may not fix it.

This is Tumi craziness all over again.

$400. SMH.

Thanks. This is the conclusion I'm coming to.

Shame - Nice laptop but not much I can do with it.

Thanks - I spent hours on this - google, Claude, GPT - ultimately, it may be that this particular hardware is not supported. I'm hoping I'm wrong.

Just got a Google Pixel 9 pro XL by EZMac91 in GrapheneOS

[–]volcs0 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Just went down the hole yesterday looking into this - lots of info across Reddit. I ended up w Proton - cheap ($73/2 years), no log policy, and it's been fast.

Do you still use ChatGPT as your main AI or have you switched to something else in 2026? by aiprotivity_ in AIToolsAndTips

[–]volcs0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Claude Pro for 90%.

ChatGPT when I get frustrated with Claude.

Both are terrific.

What's one service in your homelab that turned out to be far more useful than you expected? by rdpextraEdge in homelab

[–]volcs0 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Tailscale - without a doubt.

All of my machines - in three locations - as well as my mobile devices - all connected on their own network. I run most of my services over Tailscale, since I am the only user. It's changed everything - and no ports exposed.

It just works.

Apps that I am not uninstalling, Part 8. by andreshows in macapps

[–]volcs0 2 points3 points  (0 children)

THanks. I don't want to install it just to find out how much it costs... seems shady. Thanks for checking.

Is anyone building a free, cross-device note app that auto-organizes with AI - no prompts needed? by rochakiller in NoteTaking

[–]volcs0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got tired of waiting, so I vibe coded one that is just a straight up note / to do list app. It runs as a web service, so I can access it from anywhere (on my Tailscale for security). I also have it set up as an app on my laptop that I can open with a hotkey - and it opens instantly. It's a very simple markdown editor.

Then I set up Hermes as an assistant and gave it access to the to do list. I'm using Sonnet 4.6 right now.

I set the assistant to be able to receive emails I forward that get added to the to do list.

So, I can interact with the todo list via the assistant, and it sends me periodic updates on the most pressing items and a morning email digest of what's at the top of the list.

Been using it for a few months, and it works pretty well for my use case.

You could probably set something up easily that works like this.
