Disregard all previous instructions…

Don’t look up!

Reminds me of the SNL sketch for a battery powered car

My friend and I set up Kopia in our home labs.

About a week later we decided to test out a disaster recovery only to discover we’d screwed up the permissions and nothing was backing up properly.

Was a relatively easy fix since we caught it, but I share this cautionary tale to remind you all to test your backups regularly!

I thought the whole point of this service was to provide internet to places that traditional services couldn’t reach. Meaning they wouldn’t be over populated because those people already have good internet.

Now that I think it through, there’s no way that demographic is generating enough money to make this work.

Whoops?

Anybody made the switch to this from Apple photos? How was the migration? Did Live Photos etc all just work?

I had problems a few years ago where Live Photos were split into video and photo - which to be fair it’s what they are

Yes in zero trust > access controls > applications you can specify a web site and then tell it how you want it protected. In its most basic form you can have it email you a login code, but if you link it to either google or Microsoft you can have users of those services use them allowing you to sso straight through.

You can also specify a wildcard *.mydomain.net and then by default anything that is in your domain will be protected. Means when you’re testing something new you won’t forget to lock it down.

You’re correct about media, I use nginx proxy manager for emby, but everything else goes through the tunnels

As for configuring, the cloudflare LLM bot has been trained on all its documentation so it’s one of the few times a chat bot is genuinely useful.

Cloudflare tunnels is a great way to expose services on your network to the web.

You run a program in your server, it makes a tunnel, then you configure it on the website to visit the internal link in your network, eg

If you’re hosting a web server at home, you could have something like:

www.mydomain.net > http://192.168.1.55:8080/

You can also have cloudflare protect access to that website with email verification, google / Microsoft accounts etc.

It’s a lot to learn, but it’s very handy once you get the hang of it.

Here’s a YouTube video on the basics: https://youtu.be/Q5dG8g4-Sx0?is=J7KvNZoyjsEq33fO

Reminds me of the Pokémon that glitch multiplied your items

That was the kernel I installed,

Thanks for the advice, the tinkering is honestly part of the fun! I’ll try again this weekend :)

I tried mint and Ubuntu - both Debian based though, worth giving Bazzite a whirl. If nothing else it’ll give me something to do for a few hours 😀

I use the standard plug in charger at home. I get 12kw (45 miles) in my 7 hour off peak window. That coupled with free charging at work means I never needed to invest in the £1,000 7kw charger at home.

Everybody’s needs are different - my experience js just one of many. What I’m saying is if you’re reading this and think you need a big expensive charger at home, there are options!

Got myself a VERY affordable refurbished surface laptop 3

Intel graphics, intel chip - damn this will run Linux like a breeze.

Boy was I wrong. Microsoft in their wisdom have some shenanigans going on.

Managed to find a kernel on GitHub, when I installed it broke secure boot (my fault for not fully understanding) and then ended up losing access to the whole system.

Long story short I’m back on windows 11 and researching how not to screw it up.

I realise you didn’t ask for any of this info, but sometimes it’s nice to vent :)

I thought the NHS had a pretty good union, no?

There’s B mode that will aggressively regenerate, but nowhere close to one pedal. Although I’ve found myself using the adaptive cruise control for no pedal drive

To be fair I never heard a baby ask to leave the EU, so I can only assume they were happy with the status quo
