Thank you for your insight.

I recently stood up a Miniflux instance. Any reason in particular to look at FreshRSS?

This is what I do. It’s under settings > VPN > VPN server.

Then on my phone I run Tasker to auto connect to my VPN when it disconnects from home wifi.

So just got this up and running yesterday and today my wife used it for the first time. She did what she needed to do, but we may have come across a bug. I don’t know. She had to take a 72 page PDF and break it out into multiple smaller PDFs. While she was doing that, multiple pages in the preview window would keep going blank/white. Not sure if you’re aware of something like that, if not I can try to reproduce and grab logs and post them on github.

Saw this as an option in TrueNAS earlier and will probably be standing this up when I get home today. I was curious about the difference between this and Stirling, but that appears to have been answered. Thank you for what you do and I’ll definitely give it a try.

Update: got it up and running. Works great. Wife deals with PDFs a lot and she loves it. Thanks again!

Just a reminder for anyone that has a problem with this, but still uses the service… You’re part of the problem. If you don’t like it, boycott.

If anti-trust is still a thing after the next 3 years.

And if any of it is true, they’ll be the ones wondering why they didn’t get taken because they’re such good little christians.

The main settings that I mentioned are under integration services settings on the VM. There’s probably plenty of guides available on YouTube for Hyper-V along with the official Microsoft documentation (which probably isn’t that great).

Hyper-V is the hypervisor that the VM runs on. Yeah I don’t really know which malware scanners are the go to ones anymore. Just figure if I can get it to pass through 2 different ones ok then it’s probably ok. I’m sure there’s some other good ones out there. I’ve heard of ESET and virustotal, but I’m not familiar.

I use Hyper-V because I run server 2022 and it’s free. Hyper-V allows you to disable any host resource sharing in the VM settings.

On my sandbox VM I’ll scan the files then install and scan, then run the software and scan. I use both defender and I think malwarebytes. It’s a lot of extra work for no gain, but I’d rather be too careful than risk installing malware.

This is what I do. I have a VM for torrents and a VM sandbox to check stuff that I’m concerned about. At the host level I disable any type of sharing with the host, no copy paste, no sharing disks, nothing. The VM only gets the storage I assign to it and once I validate then I’ll detach and mount it to the host.

I’m not sure why schools are allowing unfettered access to the internet on school devices.

Meh, I already have an ESP32 meshtastic device and that thing chews through the 3000mah battery I have connected. I don’t need another power hungry ESP32.

Link?

I’m not complaining, they give them to me for free.

New isekais coming out daily, it’s out of hand.

Yup FLauncher, SmartTube, Stremio, and steam for game streaming from my PC to living room.

BLM land?

I just wrote a PowerShell script to do this for my pictures comparing file names and sizes. Should be able to find something similar with a search. Might not work for what you’re looking for unless they were exact copies though.
