If you are already running a VPS, the SSH -J option is useful if you don't want to expose your SSH to your home public address. You create an SSH reverse tunnel (-R option) from a server in your home network to your remote VPS. This gi

This is my experience as well. I have a couple PINE64 devices, a Rock64 (Rockchip RK3328) and a RockPro64 (RK3399). And an N150 device. Both ARM64 devices run headless, make use of GPIO, and have more than enough CPU. In fact, these are sta

OpenBSD makes it easy to try IPv6 tunnelbroker.net with NAT64/DNS64 if your ISP only has IPv4 ("one more lab test away.." they say). This has worked for me well for a couple years. I do use a VLAN to keep the IPv6-only networ

I love how people are passionate about fonts. Search for the 2017 Saturday Night Live skit with Ryan Gosling "Papyrus". It captures the obsession! "It’s like they spent $300 million on the movie, and then.. They just used Pap

Can anyone comment on wafer-scale systems, multiple equivalent chips on an entire wafer? Seems like where things are heading?

I'd love to see a non-programmable version. If I recall it would be something like the HP 10C. It's because I just want the RPN part along with math functions. A good example: Taking your FCC ham license exam does not permit use o

Speaking of .NET, I've been successfully running .NET 9 on AMD64 FreeBSD. It's nice to have that choice.

rtl_433 is awesome. You can even read your neighbors weather station and send that to Home Assistant using MQTT. It's worth investing in a decent antenna tuned to the ISM frequency (I use a center fed dipole, works great). And of cours

This is the way: SOCKS5 via SSH You do need some minimal technical understanding and some scripting. Pick any cloud provider that can give you a VM with SSH access. Read up on doing this on your local device or another device on your LAN:

If I can find a Forth for a new chip I'm learning, I use it as a way to explore the chip with a REPL. Micropython can be similar this way, but it's more constrictive.

In order to give Ente a try I self hosted it. It's working great. The initial interest was also E2E encryption. The backing Minio store is on a VPS to keep it off-prem. The rest (front end UI etc) I host in my home and use the same VPS

I use both a home server and a cloud VM, and they work together. I'm thankfully able to use FreeBSD 14 on my cloud VM (just a preference). I push data from my home server for easy access on my cloud VM. For example, weather data from m

> If I'm understanding correctly, this will break whenever the IP address of your tunnel changes. You'll have to reestablish all of your connections. The tunnel is on localhost only. The VM has a static IPv4/IPv6 with DNS.

I still find SSH adequate for connecting to a home server remotely. I don't have the CGNAT terrible problem but I also don't do any port forwarding on my home router. Instead, I have a VM running on a cloud provider that I SSH to

I am thankful my father-in-law gave me his HP-35 purchased in the early 1970s. With it came a metal case with a lock and a base you would bolt to your desk. It was a precious item back then. Thankfully the power supply still works so I can
