Thanks for that suggestion, I had a passing thought a while back I should look into something like this.

Any problems in your experience? I imagine apps will fail if you’re slow to approve the outbound connection and something times out, so I get all of that, looking more for broader issues this might cause? Specifically wondering about the docker containers I run, all the development nonsense.

I liked googles response statement that they disagree with the ruling and are considering their next steps. You could hear the champagne bottles popping open in the background… and it was a written statement.

I just bought some UniFi gear for the first time. Cloud gateway fiber, u7 pro xgs and u7 long range.

Really like the dashboard, configuration, vlan.

Really dislike the WiFi APs, they’re AWFUL on range/speed. Updated, tweaked settings, Ethernet backhaul… I had better and more reliable coverage with a single ASUS router (but the asus firmware was terrible). A synology mesh worked pretty reliably too but no >2.5gbps wan port.

I also wish their DNS was more full featured. I haven’t dug into this much, maybe it is something I can do by SSHing into router, been too busy trying to get the WiFi improved.

Not annoyed enough to return the gear but really disappointed with WiFi performance.

First they came for my mansplaining and I said nothing…

Having been a firefox user for a few years now, Screw Mozilla. What a mismanaged shit-show they’ve become.

I get that browser development costs a ton, and that they’re in a shitty position. But to make this ode to stockholm syndrome blog post… what on EARTH?

Best case, Chrome gets split off into a separate organization free of meddling and they can fund themselves with reasonable donations / investments. In reality, I’m sure Google and other advertising companies will try to get into it and buy the behavior they want, like special-interest groups in US politics.

But if Chrome ended up under any organization with reasonable management who wasn’t completely beholden to advertisers, I’d switch back to Chrome pretty quickly (assuming the whole Manifest V2/V3 thing got un-fucked).

It’s desktop-only right now and feels like for the foreseeable future. Firefox sync works between Zen and Firefox so you can just run Firefox or one of the Android-specific versions of Firefox that support the generic/vanilla firefox sync.

Fancy firefox-based browser along the lines of Arc?

https://zen-browser.app/

Worth a look if you’re a web power-user / developer sort of person

Yeah. Zen is a bit newer and I’d say not quite as slick an experience yet, but it has come a long way in the last couple months and is getting very good

Firefox-based https://zen-browser.app/ if you want to get fancy

Or the world blows up and it’s all over. I guess what I’m saying is, no downside, fire it up and let’s see what happens.

Also, reporting that Trump Tower (either) should be renamed Mexico Tower feels pretty good.

You understand, he… does not

Yeah yeah yeah… yeah

no fact checking and a ton of bots being added? Sounds like a fantastic place to spend time. /s

I have some Zooz relays and can also recommend. There are also two options, you can either get the zooz switches which replace your current switches ( https://www.thesmartesthouse.com/collections/light-switches/products/zooz-800-series-z-wave-long-range-wall-remote-zen37-800lr-battery-powered?variant=40387548938303 ) or the relays ( https://www.thesmartesthouse.com/collections/z-wave-relays/products/zooz-700-series-z-wave-plus-dry-contact-relay-zen51 ) that you install in the box behind your existing switches.

Our house has some fancy switches downstairs so I went with the relays for the few switches I wanted to automate. One thing to note, it’s not always easy to fit the relays in the box, if there’s a lot of spare wires in the box, it can be sort of cramped.
