I also use Tailscale.

It’s fair to say that I don’t really know what I’m doing, so am picking my way through the world of self-hosting one lesson at a time, but even with that in mind, I’ve found Tailscale an absolute breeze to set up, even if I still don’t fully understand how it all works, and what it can all do.

In short, I have my server at home as part of my tailnet. I’ve also installed it on my Hetzner VPS, which is running YunoHost. Within YunoHost I’ve set up a bunch of redirects which take the Tailscale ips of my various services and turn them into URLs.

So in essence, my Navidrome server goes from being http://100.111.11.1:4533/ to navidrome.mysite.co.ck.

I’ve got Navidrome, Immich, Home Assistant, Invidious, and Jellyfin running like that, and as far as I can tell I’ve not had any security issues at all.

Relatable content.

I’d love BTT on Linux too. The hardest thing for me with a move from macOS to Linux is losing the ability to zip about the OS with a trackpad. Also, I’ve had BTT set for years so that clicking the middle button on a mouse shows Mission Control. God, I wish I could work out how to do that in Mint.

Is 256gb RAM enough for YouTube?

I find this shit hilarious.

Who the fuck is pirating a damn thing by screen shotting their phone? Can I smash the buttons 30 times a second in order to be able to reproduce the movie? No, absolutely not.

In reality, people will be taking a screen shot in order to share something, giving free publicity to Netflix. So what actually happens is that I torrent the thing I want to make a gif of, or share a frame from, thereby leaving an incentive for the people who provide the torrents to keep on keeping on.

Britain is where the Canuckians got that from. Our colonies ranged very far and very wide, and for that we’re very sorry.

Sorry.

Mint on my ancient MacBook because I didn’t really know any better and it’s working just nice for me, and Asahi/Fedora on my M1 mini, because it’s the only option.

If you’re trying to install a newer version of macOS than your Mac will allow, then Opencore Legacy Patcher is your friend.

I’ve used Macs since 2007, when Apple weren’t quite so shitty, and macOS wasn’t so irritating. I’d only ever used Windows until that point, so Linux wasn’t anywhere on my radar.

Linux on Intel Macs is solid. I have Mint on my old 2011 MacBook. Linux on M-series Macs is still, by all accounts, a work in progress. I’ve dipped my toes into Asahi, but I’d not really fucked with Linux at that point so got a bit overwhelmed and couldn’t work out whether the issues I was having were because of Linux in general, or because Asahi was still being smoothed out and optimised. But now I’m quite a bit more familiar with Linux, and have just been given an M1 mini so I’m going to dig back into it. If that works out for me, I’m going to do the same on my M2 MacBook.

The very, VERY WORST thing about macOS Sequoia is how cunty they’ve become over software downloaded from the internet.

Downloaded an update for Freetube yesterday. Dragged it into the Apps folder, tried to open it.

“Nah bruv. Put it in the bin” said macOS. No other options. Ignore, or trash it.

I’m a canny user, so I know that I now have to open the Security settings and click a button to say I’m happy to use the app.

Return to the app to open it.

“Nah bruv. Put it in the bin. Or open it if you’re stupid. Whatever”

Only then will it open.

Some software, usually stuff downloaded from GitHub, requires me to run a command in Terminal before it’ll run. Tried to install Librewolf via Brew the other day, and had to use Terminal to remove and replace the signature because Finder couldn’t even recognise it as a usable app.

Stupid shit.

Have you thought about using Arch?

I use Arch, btw.

Lamborghini started out making tractors

They still do.

And longevity. I have a 2011 MBP thats now running Debian and is still a tank. I’ve had two MacBooks since I got it but the damn thing refuses to die.

My daily laptop is an M2 Air which is ridiculously powerful for my needs, so when Apple drop OS support for it I’ll put Asahi on it and keep it trucking until the wheels fall off.

And that 2011 will still be going.

Yes, my friend, I did see.

Prove it.

The hero we deserve.

MrFilmKritic on Twitter has the answer for you.

My wife just got the exact same pop up while playing God of War: Ragnarok. Weirdly though, she’d been playing it for a week before they sent this.

Oh SMASNUG!

oh no, my pkcell
