Tailscale (https://tailscale.com/) works great for remote access to your private services. Once the wireguard tunnel is established, then the traffic is peer-to-peer (assuming it’s configured correctly) and not through their centralized servers. Even from a mobile device.

ATHF!

How much money did you spend, and how much time overall? Would you do it again?

Agreed. Windows updates will very likely break your single-drive dual-boot at some point. So, use two different drives and use your bios/efi to choose which one to boot.

Edit 2: Framework 16 looks like it would meet your needs. It has two M.2 sockets for drives. https://frame.work/products/laptop16-diy-amd-7040

It was a very popular song in the 80s. Jenny’s phone number was 867-5309.

If you’re ever at a store and need a frequent shopper card, this number with your local area code is usually registered.

Junior devs don’t know Jenny.

I second this. You need physical ethernet cable for the length of your house. Hard-wire anything that needs uninterrupted access. Then install multiple WiFi access points as needed for WiFi coverage. All WiFi access points can use the same WiFi SSID name. Note the difference between a “router” that connects to your internet provider and may also provide WiFi, vs a WiFi “access point” which only provides WiFi. You need one router and multiple access points connected to each other via physical ethernet cable. Keep in mind that even the best WiFi, being a wireless radio connection, will occasionally have dropouts due to radio interference. Prefer 5GHz channels over 2.4GHz channels for less interference. Another commenter recommended the Ubiquiti UniFI line, and I agree. Just avoid the cloud-based login that they try to push, and use a local-only login.

Edit: the “buy it for life” option is hard-wired (CAT-6 or better) ethernet everywhere. Wireless is convenient, but ultimately less reliable.

Yeah I was with them up until they suggested Monty Python.

I see they’re into biting. I hope they have a sssssafe word.

Not defending Elon, but he did already become a naturalized US citizen in 2002.

Rollerball (1975) has similar corporate city themes

In the year 9595 I’m kinda wonderin’ if man is gonna be alive

I thought I just had a stroke. But it is not the first thing that I hear people do when I see a picture like that in a movie and it makes my brain go crazy because of that picture and it is the most accurate representation of what happened in my life that makes me think that it is a real person that has been in the past.

Go to their shows. Buy their merch. That’s where the creators get the most profit.

Why should I trust you?

The vendor will absolutely take that custom code and use it to extract maximum profit from a different customer. I’ve experienced it from both sides of the transaction. Open source at least allows the functionality to be “developed” only once.

It doesn’t even have to be offshore accounts. Just a fat long-term maintenance contract would be enough to hide a lot of corrupt costs.

If you’re not worried about size or aesthetics, you should be able to wire up a replacement with a couple of rechargeable AA batteries or an external power supply.

Edit: there are “CR2032 batter eliminators” on the market, and here’s a diy version: https://hackaday.com/2020/04/24/a-cr2032-battery-eliminator/

Maybe instead of choosing an app, you could consider the overall process of tracking what you need to do. Read David Allen’s book “Getting Things Done”. It’s short. Then you can apply that process using your favorite app.

My favorite app for GTD is emacs and org-mode.
