  • This is true, but something about being an Electronics Engineer makes you want to check. (I didn’t even trust Philips to get it right, but they did.)

    I didn’t go into detail, but simple Dashed/Solid line doesn’t tell you the whole story. Those simple wall warts are not fancy switch mode, or even old school rectified. I measured 14VDC unloaded, which I can probably guestimate in experience, to be a 9VDC loaded reading.

    The actual reading on wallwarts are generally untrustworthy, unless its a thing from Samsung or apple, where the circuitry are what you would expect (switched etc).




  • For tipping countries like the US, the driver would only get a “has a tip” notification on the order (if they get any information like that at all!) so they can decide. There is no way the driver can see that there is a $40 order with a $4 tip, or a $40 order with a $16 dollar tip. Orders would be ignored all the time, and the service would fail.

    Oh, and if they did get a “has tip” flag for the order, then customers could just game it, by selecting “add tip” and setting it to $0 or $0.10 or something so their order gets that “has tip” flag!!

    Here is AU, there is no tipping, so the drivers get paid like normal people. None of this work for tip bullshit that seems to have survived this long in the US, its incredible that it has gotten this far. Now the US get asked for tips using self-service machines, that is the height of lunacy!


  • I find Joplin perfect for my needs. Markdown, embedding images, links etc. I sync to my selfhosted nextcloud.

    I like tags, I would like them to add a “directory tree” type of view to help sort “folders” (the thing they call “notebooks”) but only because I am more used to just filesystem type structured filing. But the notebooks and tagging idea works for me too.

    I strictly use it for notes/note keeping, in particular “HOWTO’s” and specific topic notes. So I dont even do a great deal of markdown in my notes, but I love the ability to add screen captures etc to them for clarity.

    And being on nextcloud, I can access those notes anywhere on any device, PC, Android, Raspberry Pi!! Joplin has an app for all of them





  • Thats not how it works.

    You have a LAN and hopefully you have a firewall that shields your LAN from WAN. Your fw is probably handing out DHCP lease IP (like 192.168.x.y)

    When you “bridge” your VM looks like an independant device on you LAN. Nothing at this point has allowed it to the public. Your dhcp can even give it an IP (but its probably better to set a static ip). In bridge mode, a "fake mac is spoofed alongside you nic’s real mac, and only for said VM)

    At that point the VM id accessible likr any other device on the LAN.

    if you then want to use vpn, just connect to your LAN however that works(vpn to computer or vpn to firewall/vpn server) and access.

    if you want to access from WAN without vpn, then you need to understand reverse proxying and youll need a full proper firewall\gateway device at the front of your network (like OPNsense).



  • I run iRedMail (a collection of dovecot, postfix etc, plus sogo and roundcube web clients and managed by a nice web frontend, all open source and runs on any linux.

    I’ve run for about 8 years, no dramas other than my isp technocally doesnt allow it. But they don’t block anything and occasionally they submit their ip ranges for customers to places like spamhaus, so i just script check every month to see if they added my ip back, then i just submit removal, it takes all of 30sec. (IP is semi static, probably changes once every 9 months or so, so not a drama to update dkim on my domain registrar.)


  • Yes, and this was my point.

    Take a word such as “Immutable” - an item or object that is incapable of change. Coming from the word “Mutable” which is the opposite - something that can be changed.

    These words are from the Latin “mutare” which means “to change”.

    So if you can see the irony of this, the word immutable should not exist. (and words like transmute and commute probably should not either - but they do suggest “mutare”.)


  • “a bit”? This is totally out of control, and the mod should lose all privleges, to being a mod.

    the other part is a person whom speaks english as a second language. Its not always a clear translation, particularly with English since the language is bastardised from many languages, and many “grammar rules” can be broken, by our own design.

    As a mod you should be amenable to that.


  • the biggest issue with N.switch is that it requires static outgoing ports.

    i have not used pf in years (opnsense here so should be same) but what you need to do is set hybrid outgoing NAT, designate a static IP to the switch, and then tell outgoing NAT for that IP to use static ports, outgoing.

    by default pf\opn randomises the outgoing NAT port and that messes up the Nswitch royally. (especially online like MK8deluxe)

    most of what is being posted about uPNP and N.switch is not correct. As long as your firewall rules allow the switch to get out (lock ports if you want to, but its a console, so … why?)

    Nintendo servers simply do not like you joining a game lobby on outgoing 34567, and then starting the game on 23456, and then turning a corner on lap 2 switching to outgoing port 18845.
