  • Apple’s MacBook Pro memory problem is worse than ever

  • Don't buy Apple. As simple as that. You know when a company gives you the creeps? That's how I feel about Apple.

  • Access home server from anywhere

  • I'd say to start with CF tunnels unless you need non-web based applications. Cloudflare tunnels require you to have a domain, though.

    It has the added benefit that you have network monitoring, logging and some filtering for security that they do on top and you get to manage everything from their web interface.

    be warned that the first time can be a bit confusing, but since it's done using their web interface it's easier than if you have a problem making wireguard work.

    1. Create a tunnel with a public hostname that will be the url to access that service. During the creation of the hostname specify you want it protected by L7 application firewall.
    2. Create a new self-hosted application in cloudflare application section and for starters use the default login email and in rules specify the list of emails that are allowed to login

    you should now be able to access your application from anywhere.

    Alternatively, if you have a DNS server in your home network you can add a private IP range to your tunnel. Let's say 192.168.0.0/24. Then when you connect with their pseudo-VPN (cloudflare warp or cloudflare ONE) you can directly use your home network's ip address from that device. If you tell your device to use a local DNS server that resolves your internal services, you'll be able to connect to them that way.

  • How to setup my own home server and make it available to anyone?

    Jump

  • Install proxmox on a computer with plenty of RAM and CPU and you'll be able to create VMs which you can give out or rent out to anyone.

    In regards to access, ipv4 is not a good idea. Especially not residential IP addresses., You should get ipv6 addresses maybe from a tunnelbroker. But anyways, first you need the server with the hypervisor (which is what you're looking for) and then you can slowly run tests, learn and eventually figure out networking.

    Btw, it might be cheaper to simply rent a server, which would solve the issue of ip addresses. OVH has cheap servers and a proxmox install wizard.

    Just please don't use it for anything sensitive until you can find someone to give a quick check up in regards to security to make sure you haven't missed anything. Unlike a regular PC, this one is expected to receive inbound connections which has its risks.

    But don't worry about that too much now. Find an old computer or rent a server, install proxmox and start testing, playing around and learning.

    Edit: chatgpt is good when wanting to learn this stuff. Especially gpt-4, but even gpt-3.5 will do. Just don't trust it blindly as it still messes up about 20% of the time. But it's often better than googling for tutorials since you can't often find what you're looking for.

    Edit2: the setup I propose will allow you to divide a regular computer into 100s of virtual ones limited only by the total RAM, disk and CPU. If you only want a web server on dedicated hardware get a raspberry pi, because my proposal would be overkill. But it's the closest to "being your own cloud provider".

  • Am curious. Are you able to run a modern windows 10 virtual machine / virtualbox vm on XP?

  • Will getting a digital bank account let my government track my online activity?

    Jump

  • Yes. If your country is authoritarian use cryptocurrency such as Monero. Even Bitcoin can be much better.

    The bank would know the amount, the merchant and other details even if it's a merchant from abroad. The bank might have a duty to report certain transactions or could be forced to give out a record. Other international payment process or foreign banks will generally not refuse a request if it comes from a country government you are a citizen of.

    You can use crypto to buy gift cards to shop at regular retailers. This is your safest bet if you're concerned about a state surveillance of your transactions.

  • The landscape of PC gaming is confusing and expensive.

    Jump

  • I recently build a PC and this is what I learned:

    1. Modern CPUs get crazy hot. AIO water cooling could make sense depending on what CPU you use
    2. GPUs are expensive but higher end GPUs will make the build last longer. Nvidia is a must for anything related to AI.
    3. NVME storage is a no brainer option for a new build
    4. Make sure the motherboard supports the RAM or doesn't throttle it
    5. If you have the space a larger case will be better for cooling an upgrades. GPUs get crazy large.

    Overall go to pcpartpicker and look at what people have build with your choice of GPU / CPU.
