  • The router is set as a subnet router, that is how I am able to access other machines on my lan remotely.

    I don’t want to, and sometimes can’t, install tailscale on every device I want remote access to.

    So I may have duplicate routes- Does that explain the behaviour in my original post? And how would I go about avoiding that?

    I could turn off subnet routing, and only turn it on when needed, but I’ll be putting up a bunch of other services that will want to talk to each other- I’m assuming this will break whenever I turn subnet routing on.












  • I agree there is an obfuscation of what is happening under the hood in Windows and Mac systems- but that doesn’t stop the tech savvy from digging a bit further. I played around with resource files back in my System 6, 7, and 8 days, and got pretty comfortable with registry edits from Windows 95 onwards.

    I think it’s more that Linux only appeals to the tech savvy, precisely because of the lack of that obfuscation layer.


  • Do a good wash, and wax. Wax is a protective coating- do this every few months and it makes cleaning quick and easy, as well as protecting the paint. Every time you do it it’s like putting money in the bank, a car with good paint looks like a nice car, and people pay more money for a nice car.

    Buy a little bottle of rain-x. Read the instructions. Do them twice for the first go. It makes an insane difference for your vision when driving in the rain, and driving in the rain is when you really need to see.

    Learn how to change a tyre before you need to do it. Figure out how the jack works, and where you need to put it under the car so you don’t damage anything.

    Don’t trust your drunk self. The cost of a taxi home and back to your car the next day is way, way less than the cost of having to live with the fact that you are responsible for the death of someone’s child. Don’t give a shit if you feel fine. Give your keys to the barman if you when think you might try and drive.




  • I’m interested in why you chose the i5 for the automation, rather than the video server?

    I’m no expert, but things like transcoding (or even just re-encoding) take a lot of grunt, which it seems the i5 would be good for.

    The i3 would be good for more constant, lower power tasks like automation.

    At least, that’s my thoughts, happy to be shown your reasoning…
