That’s what I did on my wife’s pc, and she’s had no issues with the dual boot BS Windows has created.

The cheapest way I found was getting some TP-Link Tapo cameras that have RTSP and Onvif, and run them under frigate.

Set them up in the app, cloud and all, then add them to your frigate, now block internet for them.

Those cameras are anywhere from 25 to around 50 dollars each. Best bang for the buck I could find.

New toy. Nice.

That’s a Windows problem, not an IPv6 problem.

All my local services follow the same rules as any other service. I have no idea what the passwords are, they are all random and long as fuck in my password manager. 2FA with a hardware key where allowed, TOTP if not.

What possible reason would anyone have to “relax” or security on local services? That would mean having 2 streamlines which only adds friction.

I strongly suggest you move all your credentials out of your browsers and into a password manager.

I’ve been playing with Linux distros for over 25 years now. I can’t recall what made me go exclusively to Linux,but it had to do with me wanting more control over my devices. I remember that I ended up killing Windows entirely after dual booting 7 (I did not want to move to Windows 10 and EOL for 7 was rapidly approaching) with Linux Mint in 2019 on an Alienware laptop. I started running as much software as I could on Mint, getting to learn LibreOffice pretty well, but I still had to keep a VM for work, as the in-house platform was Windows only.

About 3 years ago my company accepted to provide me with a Windows 365 cloud computer, and I’ve been solidly using Linux exclusively since then (except for work, but that’s going away too as the new platform is fully Web based).

Truth is that I never liked Windows because it’s and incredibly intrusive OS, so I have not missed it one bit.

It is pretty intuitive and just works. I do have an issue where I can’t access my services on ProxMox and UnRaid via URL (only via IP) when I have the work profile enabled in that network from the local network (works via internet from outside or through a VPN though), but it does work is the profile is disabled. Other than that, everything just works and is super easy to setup and configure.

Good stuff. My wife’s is on HDMI, no dedicated GPU, and it’s been flawless for about 2 months now.

Almost 6 years using Linux exclusively, and I had no idea this existed. You just messed me up bad. I’m going to have so much fun with this.

Thank you so much.

For issue number 1, actually, my wife had the same issue on Fedora Workstation 40 when I first moved her from Windows (I never had that issue probably because I just have 1 ultra wide monitor), the second monitor would not recognize the input and needed to be unplugged from HDMI and plugged back in. After a few updates it hasn’t happened anymore. Another annoyance that has also been fixed (almost positive it was the same bug) was that sometimes the monitors would be flipped where the second monitor would be number 1 on boot, super weird, but that issue is gone too.

Agreed. After 4 years on PFSense, and that becoming basically a second job, I pulled the trigger and got a Unifi USG-Ultra, and my life is now all rainbows and unicorns.

My bad, I apologize. Put it in the freezer for now and I’ll shout out when I have clear instructions in a codeberg repo.

Same solution as with the baby. Sorry, gotta go hide from my wife before she reads this. I kind of like breathing.

Depends on the color of the dog.

Change the baby for a dog. You’re welcome.

Good for you man, I mean it. I would also use Keepass, but I share a lot of logins with my wife, and some with my kids, so having a self-hosted app that can sync seamlessly without added friction, like Bitwarden, is the next best thing.

I scheduled them before you, so I’ll let you know once they’re done here (maybe).

No worries. I’ll love you until you can love your life back, and maybe even after that.

Fuck that. I could not be happier with Fedora.

That’s about to change. With the crowdstrike shit show Microsoft is looking to remove access to the kernel for a lot of solutions, including, but not limited to, anti-cheat software. They said they want them relegated to user’s pace only. Once that happens, there’s no reason why we can’t use the same anti-cheat in Linux the same way we now play games made for Windows (other than game developers being complete pricks, of course).
