Wow, thanks for the update!

Edit: You can possibly look into NPT if you want to use SLAAC on your LAN, it’s like NAT but for your prefix, so the connection is still somewhat end to end.

Although one thing to note, fd00::/8 is allocated to be used as a private address, however most browsers will prioritise IPv4 over these ULA addresses. You can pick your own prefix from the unallocated addresses, which is kinda sketchy but then browsers trust it.

If you can’t find an easier way, compiling your own kernel isn’t too hard. After you’ve git cloned the new kernel, you can just copy your distro’s kernel config (they’re usually in /boot), and then use make deb-pkg -j$(nproc) to compile to a .deb file, so it’s easier to uninstall.

At the start of compilation it will ask about a few new options, you can just press enter to use the default option, or decide for yourself. Probably don’t worry about make menuconfig unless you want to.

There’s proper tutorials online if you wish to do this.

I believe this is the gag reflex girl’s YouTube channel: youtube.com/@DaleSeafoam-f4i

She’s similar, but I’m pretty sure they’re different people.

I’ve been using a pay as you go plan (not the always free) for years and I’ve never had anything deleted. As it’s still got all the always free stuff I’ve also never payed a cent. I believe it just removes the barrier to paying, but you can add quota limits just in case.

I have 3 instances running (offsite motioneye [arm], wordpress [arm], wstunnel [x86]), but I have daily backups to my home server and plans in place if they get deleted.

Probably not what you’re looking for, but when I had a somewhat unstable internet connection, I’d just self host for myself as much as possible to reduce my reliance on the internet. I ran lancache to cache as many updates I could. I’d download kiwix archives at university and host them at home. I had ripped hundreds of DVDs for Jellyfin and I’d even sometimes record shows off of free to air TV with TVHeadEnd. I also self hosted languagetool (a Grammarly alternative). Although, I still do all that (and probably more) with stable gigabit fibre (except I no longer saw any point in lancache).

TBH, Australia is a bit of a mess, we used to use AS923, but we now use AU915, a lot of gateways are older (AS923), and some are newer (AU915), however AU915 is allowed to use more power, and AS923 is weaker.

As for my experience, I had to buy a gateway for my house, but a train station near my workplace already had a gateway professionally setup, and my university has a gateway too. So anywhere I’d usually take my backpack has coverage.

You can use a service called TTN Mapper to see the gateways near you with a heatmap to show their coverage.

I’ve also just left a comment on the Traccar forums with some useful info regarding the T1000.

Are there any (ideally waterproof) compact devices with long battery life (months~years)?

I’ve mostly built my own, but I did order a SeeedStudio T1000-A a few weeks ago, and it’s arriving next week.

It’s IP65 rated and estimated 4 months battery (with 1 hour updates). It also has WiFi that you can use with Google’s geolocation API when GPS is unavailable.

However like all LoRaWAN stuff, you do need coverage of a LoRaWAN provider. I use The Things Network since it partners with my city, but Helium is another option (although not currently supported by Traccar).

On the website I only found a long list of supported devices with brand name search and protocol type.

Traccar just supports The Things Network webhook API, in the TTN Mapper format (another tracking service, although public). Anything supported by TTN Mapper should work with Traccar.

I use a LoRaWAN tracker and Traccar. But you shouldn’t take it on international flights due to frequencies being different in other countries.

An Ethernet frame’s payload can’t exceed 1500 bytes without using jumbo frames. So every internet routable packet is actually less than or equal to 1.5kB.

On that VPS I’ve also installed pihole to act as DNS for the tailnet.

What’s the upstream server for pihole? Is it also Quad9, or are you doing full recursive DNS with unbound or something?

Needless to say, Quad9 is not located in my home country.

Quad9 uses an anycast IP that can route to one of over 200 locations in 90 different nations, usually this routes to your closest location.

You can use on.quad9.net to check if you are using Quad9.

The Prime Minister of Japan isn’t a President, so it shouldn’t be red if we’re being pedantic.

It works with Crossover, just hope they can port their changes one day.

That limp mode is usually controlled by ‘BD PROCHOT’, it can be disabled, but check your sensors and make sure there isn’t something wrong before doing so.

Most of the setup guides I’ve seen, have a udev rule that runs nvidia-modprobe. Here’s one I just found.

Yeah it used to be broken for me too, I think only recently did it actually let me activate it. My university also uses Duo 2FA, and I activated it fine. But sometimes it doesn’t activate on the first try, you have to reopen office a few times.

Also it seems to only let you activate it, you can’t actually sign in with your account for online features yet.

Yeah and North Lakes makes no sense to be mentioned, especially when the ABS lists it’s population as 23k and there’s much bigger suburbs of Brisbane.

I wonder if the designer used an AI as their source?

I avoid O365 as much as possible, but when I need to, I do occasionally use it with Crossover and it seems to work. Activation was a little bit janky, but did work.

Crossover is a paid version of WINE, and the other apps I’ve seen mentioned run Windows in a VM and forward the apps through RDP. There are advantages to both approaches, but I prefer the efficiency of Crossover.

I think Windows actually disables hibernation on some computers now, but ‘Fast startup’ (the hibernate instead of shutdown feature) works independently from hibernation, so it’s definitely possible for it still to be enabled.

A lot of people just close the laptop lid or turn off the monitor thinking that’s rebooting. Or they shutdown thinking it’s better than restarting, but Windows’ default shutdown is more of a close all programs and hibernate, so it often doesn’t fix things.

While it’s still awful, I believe they donated hardware, not money.
