Well, then I can’t help, I normally always get those that cost more than 200 USD, they have it all (Bluetooth + dongle) and with high quality (+ noise-canceling). Mines are WH-1000XM4 if you are interested, and I’m very happy with them, in the past I had Bose QuietComfort 35 and Sennheiser Momentum M2-AEBT and I would still get Sony WH-1000XM4 as it is smarter with many features and quality.

You can activate it with these scripts github.com/…/Microsoft-Activation-Scripts (I think it’s the easiest way for you as you are already using it and the only issue it’s the stupid message to force you to pay for it)

But would be nice if you were not forced to use Microsoft Office.

He can still use the Cable C to keep the battery on.

And also not built with electron… 😣

I am into tech/programming/devops, I make my own servers, but I would still prefer to be under CGNAT as I feel more safe. I wouldn’t open any port or tunnel to my local home network, I wouldn’t feel that safe. So for me, a CGNAT is perfect.

I’ve run a small public web server for well over a decade and never had any issues with hackers.

It’s never late to get hacked or an attack or a problem with your ISP router firmware. I don’t think that’s an excuse.

receive backups from my other servers

You can simply do cronjob and scp user@server:/path/to/backup . to get things from server to your local network, I don’t see the need to expose your router to the public. For a web server, there are cheap VPS providers for less than 5 dollars a month, and you save up energy, hardware, and improve safety at home.

Aradia, 9 months ago

Yeah, I would do that before exposing my router to public and opening ports, but for the tunnel I would use something like WireGuard into a virtual network at my home just to improve security. I’m not a fan of Cloudflare.

Why are you saying that? I know it’s not a firewall, I’m just saying it doesn’t expose your router directly to internet, most of the routers also have firewall, and you can DMZ or port forward that you normally turn them on once you expose your router to public so bots or people can make direct requests to your router.

Aradia, 8 months ago

I already have my own router, even if a web server is safer, you are still exposing your IP which is what I don’t want to do. DMZ doesn’t solve anything, is just worse than setting up a port forward as you are opening all the ports to the server at home, your server at home has access to all your network so once infected by any 0-day exploit, you are fucked up.

I just hire online servers and I have my own Ansible playbooks to manage those servers, this way I don’t provide my real IP (my home) to anyone.

I use virt-manager GUI to control KVM easily, but you can control anything easily with virsh command lines. I dislike VMware and VirtualBox, neither needed. Also, on terminal client virsh you can do much more configurations than just with virt-manager.

Aradia, 9 months ago

Temple OS has no virtualization.

Aradia, 9 months ago

For just two VM, any Linux distro is enough, virt-manager to easily run those VMs up and done. The default network will allow them to communicate between their NAT. Proxmox sounds too many complications for just some testing or development stuff.

Aradia, 9 months ago

But Proxmox is a big web interface app with many packages, right? virt-manager looks much easier than installing Proxmox.

Many distros do their own packaging on their repos, adding dependencies and custom-builds with custom configurations, and this often breaks my OS. On arch, this doesn’t happen to me. What’s your experience?

Aradia, 10 months ago

Yeah.

Arch also does its own packaging on its repos.

I know, I said “custom-builds with custom configurations”, I mean the custom configurations many distros add.

I also feel like Debian is very clean, but I still miss the big community under Arch, their wiki and AUR…

That was Pamac right? 😂

Once you learn about Linux, you go faster than any other noob. And that is very useful for programming/hacking jobs, faster than all those noobs with 0 knowledge about what is what.

Aradia, 10 months ago

I don’t have any issue with Arch, everything works. But when I try other distros, they are mostly messed up.

Aradia, 10 months ago

I already saw many issues with PopOS, I think they aren’t really that good at Linux and that’s why it’s messed up, you probably uninstalled most of xorg tools. Try Linux Mint, is more stable and serious.

What’s the goal? This looks silly.

Aradia, 10 months ago

Worried about DAS, but not about Google? 🤔 “USA Freedom Act”? They forgot about PRISM? DAS sounds just ISP work for PRISM law. As any USA company is forced to.

I would block even more services from Microsoft, why not. Go to other git sources.

I still think KDE is a much smarter desktop environment and much more light or fast. I never liked GNOME 3 and Unity had many performance issues in the past. I also tried GNOME 3 recently and still, I needed many plugins to make it good and usable and was still lacking much stuff, while on KDE works all perfectly. I’m waiting for Plasma 6 now. :D

The problem with Noctua is that you need a lot of space…

If you are worried about malicious links, try this: www.browserling.com
It’s free :D
An alternative is also hyperbeam.com which allows you to open a virtual browser. 😜
