Still relevant, just substitute for win 11
  • It's really not that hard to use a local account. When it askes for a Microsoft account just hit SHIFT+F10 then type in the command "oobe\bypassnro" and the pc will reboot. Now just don't let the computer connect to internet, and when it askes for internet hit "I don't have an internet connection" and then it will let you continue with a local account.

    ....I admit though... as I typed that out its pretty annoying lol Not hard, but like... just annoying.

  • Which switch emulator do you use? I'm pretty savy with Linux and run it on my desktop but haven't really taken the dive to set any of them up. Metroid has been calling my name lately and I'm thinking it's now or never. Got any suggestions?

  • Help wanted: best Home server, Nextcloud, Atomic setup with DynDNS?
  • I'm going to suggest something a bit more out there. You can setup this whole thing with NixOS. I have a bunch of docker containers that run as a systemd service, declared with Nix and personally, I like it very much. It's also got everything else you want but the atomic upgrades are top tier in NixOS.

    For example if you want NoIP and Cockpit just add this bit to your configuration.nix

        environment.SystemPackages =[
            pkgs.noip
            pkgs.cockpit
        ];
    

    Adding something like docker or podman is just as easy with a one line like

        virtualisation.docker.enable = true;
    

    There is always a bit of a learning curve when doing anything with Nix but I find the buy in to be worth it. Here's a blog post about converting docker compose files over to the Nix format. This really isnt necessary as you could just make the systemd service run a oneshot against a docker compose file but this blog has a lot of nice examples.

    If you have any questions please let me know :D

  • Free WiFi.
  • No, you're right! They have the best name, DERP relays lol. When tailscale can't find a node over UDP , it switches over to TCP and runs the encrypted traffic through the DERP relays.

  • It shouldn't mess with your current routing but if you're running other VPNs you may run into issues.

    After you join the machines to the tailnet, each machine gets a new IP address ( only visible to other machines in the tailnet), by default it's a 100.x.y.z you can check the tailnet for the device IP.

    Now you can keep the port closed on your router and it will still be accessible over the usual lan ip and port. But when you want to access remotely, turn on tailscale and connect using the tailnet IP.

    Another cool thing you can do with this setup is turn your home server into an exit node. By default it will only route things that are in the tailnet (100.x.y.z subnet). But if you turn your home server into an exit node you can funnel all your traffic back through the exit node. Instant free VPN back home!

  • Unencrypted HTTP can mean that anyone can see your traffic as it passes through their network. Your ISP will see that traffic. If you're streaming pirated music and you're in a country that cares about those things, might not go very well. From a security stand point though, you still wouldn't want to trust the authentication on the open port. A vulnerability may exist that you don't know about. It's always better to keep them closed and add another layer or two between your home computer and the public.

    Tailscale let's you tunnel into your home network without opening any ports, and it encrypts the traffic. Much safer way of doing it.

  • One big happy family.
  • What kinda issues are you having? Most of my problems with Nix are solved with overlays or creating a module. Admittedly, in order to do that you still have to know how to fix your issue the usual linux way. Afterall, Nix is more of an abstraction tool IMO; good for replicating something across a ton if devices. If you don't need that, there's other distros that work much better out of the box.

  • What's the easiest way to host a music colletion (FLAC)?
  • Another tip, please be very careful when exposing ports to the public. With docker you're already mitigating your attack surfaces but an open port allows anyone to make a connection and there are lots of bots out there looking for open ports and vulnerabilities. A good alternative would be to setup wireguard and instead then connect through that or if you like simplicity check out Tailscale.

  • Naw not 20 years ago, that's 2004. Here's an article from the Army talking about their introduction in 09, most Army units wouldn't have seen till 2010.

    I was in the USMC so adding about 5 years till we got them tracks lol. I absolutely was taught in the school house with no confidence clip and I remember what country I was in when I got training on it in 14-15.

  • A Cool Guide about 12 myths that movies made us believe
  • Check out my other comment but I'm pretty sure it's because of the confidence clip. There's actually an extra step where you sweep your thumb across the spoon to allow the pin to be removed from the grenade. After that yeah you probably could pull it with your teeth.... but if you fucked up and fumbled it you'd win the Darwin award.

    Really the myth should be about cooking a grenade. Absolutely no way in fucking hell you'd ever trust that fuse to "actually" be 4 seconds. What if it's short and actually 3? And you wait to 2 to throw? Nooo way lmao
