> There are also still a lot of misconceptions from network administrators who are scared of or don’t properly understand IPv6
Enable IPv6 on a TP-Link Omada router (ER7212PC) and all internal services are exposed to the outside world as there is no default IPv6 deny-all rule and no IPv6 firewall. I get why some people are nervous.
Every background service wants some screen estate in the menu bar, but the app that I need is always hidden behind the notch of my MacBook. Why can’t I hide the ones I don’t frequently need?
In Gmail, I try to archive or delete everything that I’m done with, but it’s difficult to keep up with many notifications flowing in, which I don’t delete immediately or are relevant for the next few days and I never get back to. It’s easy to get behind.
I’ll try your approach of setting up a default section for ‘is:starred OR is:unread’ and stop bothering with the archive step.
You can add your download folder to $daily_clean_tmps_dirs in /etc/periodic.conf and files not accessed for three days will automatically be deleted. See /etc/defaults/periodic.conf and /etc/periodic/daily/110.clean-tmps
Can MRSK be used to manage deploying applications that are distributed as Docker images, such as Adguard Home?
I see there is support for ‘accessories’ such as Redis. What if I only want to deploy an image and skip building a Dockerfile and pushing it to a registry?
What hardware would be recommended for a Tailscale subnet router between two sites with a GBit link? Saturating a full-duplex GBit link would require two LAN ports, ruling out the option of a raspberry pi, wouldn’t it?
I feel that I am spoiled with a great graphical user interface being available to explore MySQL databases in the form of Sequel Ace for macOS, to the point that I sometimes load an sqlite database in MySQL just to be able to browse through it with Sequel Ace.
Any recommendations for a macOS GUI for sqlite that comes close to Sequel Ace? I have tried DB Browser for SQLite, but that feels a bit outdated to be honest.
At first it felt ‘magical’ being able to reach self-hosted services from my phone regardless of my location, but I quickly noticed the battery drain as well. I believe it has to do with an always-on ‘VPN’ and I don’t expect any improvements soon.
I’ve decided that Tailscale works perfect for all my computers (e.g., Raspberry Pi, Synology NAS, laptop and VPS), but not for my mobile devices. To mitigate this I use cloudflared on my VPS to route internet traffic over tailscale to any internal services that I often use on my phone.
Cloudflared has good options for securing a tunnel by using MFA methods, for example Google authentication.
For the rare occasion that I need to access something else I can always temporary join the Tailscale network from my phone.
Unfortunately not. It opens Chrome to authenticate with Google but never redirects back to the native app. So I 'installed' Home Assistant as a PWA and found there is practically no need for me to use the app. On iOS it does work with the native app thought.
Note that if you are not using Cloudflare Access as additional authentication layer and only rely on Home Assistant authentication, the Cloudflare tunnel obviously works with the Android app. It's just that I was too paranoid for this.
Maybe I'm overly cautious. Home Assistant does have two-factor as options as well, doesn't it?
I found the Tailscale Android app to take quite a big hit on my battery when used as an always-on VPN, so I use cloudflared on a VPS to create a Google authenticated tunnel to home assistant (over Tailscale).
> get a Synology/Qnap/FreeNAS box to backup all your stuff locally, and back that up to another service (e.g. Glacier or Synology's own C2).
I'm not a big fan of backing-up a back-up and opted for a Time Machine backup to a local nas and in parallel, an off-site backup to B2 with Arq on my macs.
