Sorry, haven’t logged on in a bit. I use OPNSense on an old PC for my firewall with the wireguard packet installed.

Then use the wireguard client on my familys phones/laptops that is set to auto connect when NOT on my home wifi. That way media payback, adguard-home dns and everything acts as seamless as possible even when away while still keeping all ports blocked.

The only externally accessible service is my wireguard vpn. For anything else, if you are not on my lan or VPN back into my lan, it’s not accessible.

Yes some can. I’m one of them. My in-laws, nope wanna see it I. Person first. And when you need it now, not in a day or two

Go into a store like Walmart and you will have 6 different HP printers, 1 epson, and empty spots where the 1 Lexmark sits. Once you get to rural areas you don’t have much of an option to specially when the point of purchase already limits your purchase options.

Most people will not drive 1-2+ hours to get more options.

My personal lists:

Adguard Home Channels WireGuard for remote access (this is the only open firewall port) Firefly-iii (for personal accounting) Nextcloud for files,calendar,and contacts

I didn’t have the chance to try on Linux. Good to hear it worked for you Since it was for my in-laws it had to work on Windows 10 laptop and a Chromebook. I learned a few years ago I cannot guide them onto a Linux install as much as I want to.

Just wait till you run into one of the HP printers that will not work until you sign up for the HP subscription service, and only use HP subscription ink cartridges, and only if it’s allowed to access the internet to report back that it’s printing. The subscription actually set the number of pages per month you are allowed to print, on the hardware you have them money for.

And it only works for a device with the HP app installed. Total garbage.

Backpacks as a service

I agree. Pay the people a livable wage and price the product accordingly, with taxes included.

But I do want to still know how much of the cost is tax. Basically an all in cost, but as transparent as possible

Meh. I’ve eaten worse. Do I at least get soy sauce or spicy pepper sauce for flavor

Will our new overloads control all of our thoughts then, or will I still have to decide what to cook every night for supper?

It eventually gives you the firmness of toast without the toaster

I like this prediction too!

I don’t put much stuff up at the top that has small detail or need to look at alot

It’s an adjustable sit/stand desk. Its in sitting position in this picture

I present you with my masterpiece

For now.

Apparently the device setup wizard can only be ran with the special low volume cartridges that come with it. And if they did still have those, the wouldn’t have worked since they were out of ink. Total scam setup to extract money out of un knowing consumers.

To add to yours, when the person who isn’t up on printers goes to a store like walmart that has 4 different HP models on the shelf ranging from $40 to $90, one cannon for $80, and one brother for $120, they will be much more apt to get the HP because they just don’t know.

My in laws bought one of those damn HP’s. It had an issue 1 month in and required the special setup cartridges to re-run the wizard. But those had already been used up and discarded. It wouldn’t f-ing work with regular cartridges, and their subscription wouldn’t let them get more setup carts. Literal 1 month old e waste
