This is a good (and fair) point.

However they still look ugly and scary and intimidating :)

Because I can remember an IPv4 address and not a V6 address!

At least they could have added an extra octet to v4 instead of making it garbyremoved looking

I have not had an issue in… 9 years? Though I use separate physical drives which might help. I wouldn’t let that scare people away

Edit: I’m also using rEFInd Boot Manager. I have about 5 operating systems that I can boot into (good way to try various Linux distros)

That may be a reason to run a dual boot with Windows and your special gfx or cad software that you earn your livelihood from.

But for the other 75% of the time when not working, you have Linux.

Agreed, but sometimes a compromise for a not as good alternative is sufficient depending on the task.

Agreed not tabs

8 spaces seems excessive.

4 spaces or even 2 would be my preference.

Disclaimer: lots of programming but no rust experience. Though, I don’t think that matters.

Thinking the same thing. WTF

Lol if this is a joke on C and senile… Haha well done.

I guess I’m not cool enough… I have No idea what I’m looking at.

Long time Linux user but this looks really odd to me and I don’t know what it is

Very cool! Thanks for sharing. I’ll pass this on to my friend who’s been at sea with his family for over 1 year.

Yes but they cannot determine it isn’t audio of me singing in my own shower

Same… a bit of screen scrolling to get what I need but did the trick in a pinch!

I had to look that up. So ya, I understand your problem a bit better. Wish I could offer some solutions.

For anyone interested…

“Starlink uses Carrier-Grade NAT (CGNAT) to avoid the need for 1,000s of IPv4 addresses, which can be a problem for some users due to how they are using Starlink. However, some VPN services like PureVPN can be used to bypass CGNAT restrictions on Port Forwarding.1 CGNAT prevents direct access to the Starlink antenna from the internet, making setting up a VPN or hosting services challenging. There is no direct public IP address assigned to the Starlink antenna, which hinders traditional methods of setting up a VPN server or hosting services like port forwarding and DMZ access”

I will first admit that I am quite ignorant to Home Assistant.

I am a happy openHAB user for 5+ years. Have you considered switching to see if you like it?

I tried Home Assistant once or twice but never felt comfortable enough to switch.

I run stuff locally and can connect over VPN to my home and operate as if I am inside the home. I have not looked into these other cloudflare tunnels or tail scale as I don’t think it would provide any advantage to my current setup.

OpenVPN server running on my router does the trick.

I have a 32gb USB flash drive I got from Protectli with some other purchases I mad (it was cheap and is tiny and metal) I was surprised how fast it was, so I am using it for my ventoy boot disk and have 15+ isos on it.

I actually just used it last night and copied windows10, debian 12.5 and Linux mint isos

They all copied pretty quickly!

Cheers! Thanks for your reply.

Lemmy folks are nicer folks :)

Have a good day

You’re welcome.

I’ve not thought about nor worried about wear and tear. I did a search but didn’t find anything. Are you just being cautious? Or perhaps you only access files occasionally?

Either way, you may want to creat a bash alias in your .bashrc file so that you can type a simple command like mountnas or ‘nas’ and you might have another to run the umount command to unmount it.

Since my NAS runs my camera recordings and backups and some containers, I figure wear from mounting conveniently shouldn’t be an issue…

Cheers!

install the NFS client package.

Have a look at adding a line to the

/etc/fstab file. Then reboot to take effect.

Haha this made me chuckle. Thanks :)
