I used to use dynv6, but I started having issues about 2 years ago. DNS records would just stop resolving until I deleted and recreated them. Their forum has been broken for years, so there’s no way to get support.

If you only need 5 records or less, give FreeDNS a try.

If you leave the phone on the charger for years, the battery will swell up and split the case or crack the screen.

That means apps tend to stop working if the developers don’t keep updating them. Mobile operating systems much, much worse backwards compatibility than windows. If the device hosts its own website instead of using an app, it will most likely work fine decades from now without any updates.

Mobile apps bit rot pretty quickly when they stop updating them. A web UI would be better. A server or internet connection is not needed, a web UI can be hosted directly on the device.

That’s a for LAN use. The other IPv4 example ranges are 198.51.100.0/24, 203.0.113.0/24 and 233.252.0.0/24.

There are several IP address ranges reserved specifically for documentation and examples such as 192.0.2.0/24 and 2001:db8::/32. That’s what they should have used.

That hardware still has plenty of power for basic use. It should be good for another 10 years running Linux.

Keep the firewall on dedicated hardware. You don’t want your whole network going down because you have to do some work on the server.

I had an upgrade fail and completely break the install a long time ago. I haven’t tried a distribution upgrade since then. I just format and install a new distro every couple of years. It cleans out all the crap I end up with from 3rd party repositories and stuff I’ve compiled from source. I’m sure upgrades probably work a lot better now though.

I did have Arch running on one of my laptops for quite a while, but I quit using it after it started falling apart.

I’ve got a 16MB MMC card that I use as an offline backup for my password manager database. It’s old enough that it uses SLC flash, so I don’t have to worry about data retention time.

I use it as a modifier key for all of the shortcuts I create since nothing uses it by default.

Just use a mini PC and pirate everything. The amazon fire interface sucks anyways. Every streaming service is in a different app and you have to remember which app to use for each show.

There is Tiny Core Linux if you want something small like the original DSL.

You can use the 3040 to build an AllStar node.

I would use point to point wireless links between the buildings. Then connect an access point to the link to provide WiFi to the building. Something like the Omada EAP211 should work well for the link.

The T480s only has one DIMM socket. The other memory channel has 8GB soldered to the motherboard.

Mumble supports text chat and images too. Right click on a channel or user and select send message. There is an insert image button in the message window. I wish they would make it so you could just drag and drop an image though.

Yes, that’s why they don’t care about copyrighted content outside of Russia.

That’s pretty much it for Android currently. There are a few more choices for PC.

There is a new browser in development called Ladybird, but a stable release is still years away and they are focusing on desktop support first.

You can open “Keyboard Shortcuts” in the menu and change them to whatever you want.
