So how many of these “experiments” do we need to have until we make some policies based on the results? I see this all the time, but it’s always just that: an “experiment”
Am I wrong or is it easier to install software on Linux? The package manager basically figures out everything for you and you don’t need to hunt for an exe all over the Internet.
Universal Control is pretty magical. I love having both my work and personal laptops connected to an ultrawide monitor and using my mouse/keyboard (actually Magic Trackpad, Magic Keyboard) across the two.
When I’m waiting for something for work I can slide the cursor over and do something on my personal computer.
My only paranoia is that the work laptop can track what I’m typing but that’s why I use the peripherals connected to the personal laptop to control everything.
Not really addressing the core issue but here’s some unsolicited advice: run some type of resolver locally that caches; specifically something that’ll cache all the NXDOMAIN and/or 0.0.0.0 you’ll get back. It’ll really speed things up especially if you can add in some prefetching. I do this with unbound.
I have too many to name honestly but one that comes to mind (but not really “big”) is a travel router.
It’s amazing being able to VPN into either my cloud server or home network all over an encrypted WireGuard tunnel. I use the same SSID/password as my home network so that I only connect the travel router itself to whatever network (Ethernet, WiFi and even hotel WiFi with the terrible portal) and all my devices just automatically get online.
I use Home Assistant to connect all the proprietary trash together but talk to my Watch rather than a smart speaker. I just haven’t got into the speaker lifestyle thus far.
Storj, specifically using RClone and the native Uplink CLI (vs the S3 gateway). Super cheap, P2P, built-in client-side encryption are what keep me on it (and steering clear of the nightmare that is AWS).
