Yeah, tailscale also works fine on arch, by itself. But the problem was with tailscale AND a vpn being installed at the same time, even if only one was active/running. Almost certainly not an issue with arch or tailscale, the vpn was probably the problem.

I went from noob to arch about 3 months ago, and only had to reinstall twice after I broke things. Couldn’t figure out how to get my vpn and tail scale to play nicely together, even if I only used one at a time. After the 2nd attempt/reinstall I just gave up on tail scale, and haven’t had any show stopping bugs/issues since. Sure would be nice if rustdesk played nice with Wayland tho.

I didn’t realize archinstall existed until I had to reinstall, so I can see why a terminal based install from scratch might scare some people away.

iirc anything after 802.11ac doesn’t allow AP mode on client devices. Something about not being able to scan for restricted channels in 5/6ghz

If I understand correctly, it’s nat on the local home router AND nat on the ISP’s router as well. It’s a double nat.

They’re fairly common in the US with smaller or local fiber networks, but most ISPs offer a static IP for an additional $10/month to bypass the CGNAT

Lol by the time I actually needed to upgrade from that mini, all the fruit stand stuff wasn’t really upgradable anymore. It was really frustrating, so I jumped ship to Windows.

Those iMac screens seemed so fiddley to remove just to get access to the drives. Why won’t they just bolt them in instead of using glue! (I know why, but I still don’t like it)

Lol, I used to have an 08 Mac mini and that required a razor blade and putty knives to open. I got pretty good at it after separately upgrading the RAM adding an SSD and swapping out the cpu for the most powerful option that Apple didn’t even offer

Yes, it’s the OS for their custom KVM board. Released open source so it can be inspected or altered by the users of their board

It’s a touchscreen for a smart watch that they reused to save money. Would have been more expensive to design a custom screen when something like this already exists

Heh, I did something similar for my dad. He went from 2x core2quad 24gb DDR2 to a 12th Gen i5 with 32gb ddr5. Something like triple the compute power, at under $500 when he paid ~$5k for the original

That’s genius! I hate when the nutmeg falls off my French toast. Using nontoxic glue to hold it down would be perfectly safe and there would be zero negative consequences

I don’t think motherboard video would work at all with a Ryzen 5600, as they don’t have an igpu at all
