Keep in mind their claims about Android have been clearly refuted and their claims in general are dubious.

Given this, they’re either dangerously ignorant or intentionally malicious.

I went with the open source one. Slightly more expensive, but had I wanted to I could have bought all the parts and assembled it myself, compiled the firmware, etc.

If a device relies on any kind of external service to initially set up or function thereafter, do not buy. Regardless of brand.

This is what I strive for. When I was looking for a wall charger for my EV I was shocked at how there was only one option that wasn’t “cloud” based. And those aren’t cheap.

I have some invites.

In my opinion, that’s not on Steam to support their client on a long past EOL operating system. Not withstanding the added development workload and costs, there is also significantly more risk associated with supporting an OS that isn’t receiving security patches.

Not to mention the modder’s example Windows fucking 98. Steam still supports Windows 7, which was released in 2009. Your 6 year old PC will be fine.

9? That’s quite a bit of compute lol.

My journey started with 1 server, then 4, then 5 (one functioning as a NAS), then 1 (just the NAS box), then I moved and decided to slim it down to a proper NAS and 1 mini PC/NUC clone. Now I’m up to two because the first was an Intel N105 which just isn’t up for the challenges lol

I use myanonamouse. Had to back then, none of the public trackers were good. Sounds like they might be better now though. MaM is the only private tracker I’m on.

I switched a while back, but grew frustrated with most of the solutions. Apparently while my music is on Spotify, some of it isn’t in the MusicBrainz database, so automation and tagging/sorting tools just crapped out. The solution of submitting the data just wasn’t work I was willing to put in (the guide on making a submission alone was too much).

Ultimately I did most everything manually and got a workable solution, but without added variety I lost touch with music and stopped listening all together over time.

I’ve migrated my Firefox profile to multiple different computers and even from Firefox to Floorp. No issues. It’s also something I have backed up to my NAS daily since it contains everything - just plop it in and I’ve got everything the way it was before.

Last time I tried to migrate to Podman the first container I tried was incompatible, so was the second, and the third. Turns out at the time Linuxservers.io stuff wasn’t rootless podman compatible. There have since been some improvement according to my most recent Google search just now, so maybe a retry is coming up.

I manage my G502 with Piper, which does support the G915. While it’ll do LEDs, I manage the LEDs on mine via OpenRGB.

Is the maximum 24 characters because their database column is a VARCHAR(24)? That’s one of the first questions that I thought of. Sure, it doesn’t guarantee plaintext, but it’s a indicator that it may be stored plaintext, considering hashing doesn’t care about length. Or at the very least whoever has had eyes on this code doesn’t know shit about security, which makes me less confident in the product as a whole.

The only reason I can think of to have a maximum would be to save on bandwidth and CPU cycles, and even then 24 characters is ridiculously stingy when the difference would be negligible.

I have used AirVPN for half a decade and never ran into any issues, if you’re looking for an alternative with port forwarding.

I work full time at a computer. I have two jobs, so I put in 68 hours a week (second is 28 hours a week, no overlap).

I have no issues with eye fatigue best I can tell, that or I’ve just gotten so used to it. I will note I do have the blue light filter on my glasses lenses my optician recommended.

MaM.

When I got into the space I had to find a private tracker, but since then I’ve had no issues with Readarr aside from some series being slow to get their metadata updated, but that’s not a Readarr issue.

If I’m using Bluetooth earbuds I can receive a call from Signal or WhatsApp. So it stands to reason it’s possible a Bluetooth device exists to act like earbuds but for a landline phone. I found a few (cell2jack and XLink BT HD) but could not verify if they’d work for anything other than normal phone calls.

Yup, with PIA the port is random but yes, there should be scripts out there to leverage PIAs forwarding with your torrent software. And yeah, if you were to port forward through your router that could lead to accidentally exposing your actual IP.

incompatible with port forwarding with any VPN

I’m not sure if there is a misunderstanding here, but port forwarding through a VPN is generally agnostic of most network setups. It’s a tunnel, doesn’t require your network to have port forwarding setup or even for it to be capable of it.
