  • This is probably not what you’re looking for, but I found registering a cheap domain name and using a dynamic DNS script that checks every hour or so against your public IP to be a good way to mitigate issues. It also depends on your ISP. Mine typically only renews upon a reboot of the modem or a new PPPoE authentication.

    Others have also suggested Tailscale, and I think that’s also a worthwhile option. It’s a pretty easy thing to set and forget, working like any oher VPN client. This is the least complex option to navigate, and if Plex was the only service you were forwarding then it’s likely the best option.


  • Ultimately this change, while frustrating, probably doesn’t change the initial value for those who fit these two categories:

    • Needs Windows
    • Cares about their privacy

    These people were already going to go out of their way to use the OOBE bypass. They still will. This is no more effort thanbit already was.

    Microsoft crossed the line already by disallowing offline account creation through their default setup process.



  • Potential ketamine addiction aside, he’s just gravitated toward where he sees more money and unfluence for himself. He wanted the prestige of being a leader in tech, so he used his influence and money to build SpaceX. Then he bullied his way into the ownership of Tesla, desperately wanting to appear as a genius to libertarian and liberal minds alike, but he’s never been any less of an authoritarian. When Trump rose to power the first time, he sat and watched and along with the rest of the Silicon Valley Moguls, he began to move himself into positions of influence with populist politicians, borrowing the evangelical right’s playbooks and throwing himself into the spotlight no matter the reason. He pivoted off his falsified image as some kind of American self-starter into MAGA rhetoric.

    Musk doesn’t have lofty ideals or any real focus on the betterment of society. I don’t think he ever did. He just wanted to be a real life Tony Stark and command the influence that came with it. Now he doesn’t need to, because he’s got Trump in his back pocket and is mostly untouchable by any normal means.



  • I use Wayland exclusively, but unfortunately I don’t think I have an answer for you since I’m not entirely familiar with this idea. Is your concern just for the configuration of a universal set of hotkeys configured within the compositor rather than a desktop environment?

    I wasn’t aware that x11 facilitated this. I’d have figured keyboard mappings are abstracted from the compositor and left to the DE to handle, aside from core binds that allow dropping back to tty





  • Because you’re serving the website on a non-standard port, you will always need to provide the port in the web browser.

    That said, I don’t see anything wrong here. It looks like you’ve got the right ports set, TCP should be correct. You may not get a ping, because ICMP is likely not enabled at the modem. When you ping, you ping the first device that’s exposed to the internet, not an open server.

    Just to be sure, when you’re on your phone, you’re using data? If you’re on wi-fi, the modem/router may not be configured to perform NAT reflection, so you won’t be able to access anything via your WAN IP.








  • Not an expert, but molten salt reactors are correct. MSRs are especially useful as breeder reactors, since they can actually reinvigorate older, spent fuel using more common isotopes. Thorium in particular is useful here. Waste has also been largely reduced with the better efficiency of modern reactors.

    Currently, Canada’s investing in a number of small modular reactors to improve power generation capacity without the need to establish entire new nuclear zones and helps take some of the stress off the aging CANDU reactors. These in particular take advantage of the spent fuel and thorium rather than the very expensive and hard to find Uranium more typically used. There’s been interest in these elsewhere too, but considering how little waste is produced by modern reactors, and the capacity for re-use, it feels pike a very good way to supplement additional wind and solar energy sources.



  • Microsoft’s design philosophy in any of their products has gone from well organized menus to relying instead on a search bar. Copilot is a further addition to that design, with yet more pushes to never use a menu, but instead just tell it what you want and have it spit it back out. They want everything you make to go on OneDrive as well, so it can also be indexed this way. Teams works the same way. The big search bar at the top is unavoidable.

    Windows search is complete garbage, which you might think is a counterpoint, but instead it’s just that they only put work into having it serve results for cloud-indexed items or web results.
