  • TL:DR, yes you can. But its not nearly as reliable as wired internet and is dependant on where you are.

    I'm currently living in a place where only DSL is available for wired internet and its 1.5 mbps down at maximum so this is essentially my situation. I dont self host anything currently as I'm kind of in between projects but I could in theory self host something and access it remotely.

    What I'm currently using for internet is a load balanced connection between starlink and lte. I'd recommend just using lte if possible. Starlink is good but it can be very spotty.

    I'm surrounded by trees and the towers near me are old and go down more often that I would like or get bogged down so I need starlink but due to the trees it goes down frequently. Every minute or so. Sometimes I get 5 minutes of internet through it and thats fun.

  • IMO, the more self hostable options we have for services, the better. This sounds like a good idea to me.

    Good luck with your project and thank you for taking the time to contribute to the free and open source community.

  • Yea opensense is the less polished than pfsense, but its decent from what I've heard.

    I'm not familiar with Idirectord of shorewall. Do you run all that locally? Tbh peplink is ok for the most part but because starlink goes on and off so often, it can get stuck sometimes and because I can't have a lot of granular control with its load balancing.

  • Not using that specifically but I have to load balance my internet between starlink and 4g due to the area I live in where the only other option is suffer with 1.5 DSL. Even what I'm doing now is only mostly ok but I'm surrounded by trees.

    Due to the restrictions of a lot of providers for mobile data, I use the 5g store with Verizon network, and had to use one of their routers, went with a peplink as at the time, it was the cheapest option.

    Peplink does a pretty good job of load balancing between the different connections but i wouldnt use them unless you really have to.

    You could use pfsense or opensense to load balance between two connections if thats what your after.

  • If anyone hasn't seen the videos Jim Browning did a while back about gaining access to a india scam call centers network and subsequently, thier cameras, its a fascinating watch but also pretty concerning.

    One of the worst parts is that sometimes the police are on the scammers payroll, making it hard to take action. It would likely take an international effort to even make a dent against these kinds of places. They make a ton of money off these scams so its going to keep happening.

  • This is the way. My brother printer is a hl2040, came out sometime in the early 2000s. It still prints. I've replaced the toner cartridge once since my Dad gave it to me back in 2016.

    The other day I needed to print something out and this was after I had reinstalled linux.

    Just fired right up, instantly recognized. Its one of the best pieces of hardware I own.

  • Most multiplayer games that use anticheat are the only kind of games Linux can't handle these days it would seem. Proton changed the game man.

    Combine that with the rise of indie titles, its a good time to be a Linux gamer. Timberborn and Ostranauts have been a blast.

    Well mostly Timberborn, Ostranauts kept kicking my ass.

  • Certainly counts, Samsung has a few features like grabbing text from images that I found useful.

    My problem with them is its all online stuff and I'd like that sort of thing to be processed on device but thats just me.

    I think folks often are thinking AI is only the crappy image generation or chat bots they get shoved to. AI is used in a lot of different things, only difference is that those implementations like drawing assist or that text grabbing feature are actually useful and are well done.

  • Yea that seemed off to me as well, looking at the minimum spcs, a 970 is enough to play this game:

    You should be able to play this without issue. Maybe look at what version of proton you are using and see if changing it helps. Only thing I can think of off the top of my head that might be the issue.

  • Absolutely agreed, I get where your coming from. My point being is that a neurotypical would at least have put some emotion into their response or maybe try to deescalate.

    That said, reading through the other comments, it looks like there was more to the interaction. Either way, I dont think the other person handled it well. You didn't do anything wrong in your response to her yelling at you. Hanging up the phone and walking away is perfectly reasonable.

    I myself would have probably been very anxious in the moment and furious after.

    Everyone is different though, its a spectrum for a reason.

  • Most folks would get mad or say something if someone yelled at them. When you have autism or other neurodivergence of some kind, you tend to respond to things differently.

    Since you just said "ok" without explanation or complaint, and then hung up, thats very matter of fact, straight to the point, and lacks the more emotional response most neurotypical people would have.

    This is of course just my opinion based on what you have mentioned and my own personal experiences. Not everyone presents Autsim in the same way and I'm not a classic example of ADHD, so take all that with a grain of salt.

  • Not neurotypical, but I have ADHD so some of the same stuff you may experience being autistic applies. Not one for one, but I also know a few autistic people and my partner is autistic.

    To start, nothing needs to be "wrong" with you to have autism. Its just a different way of thinking and processing. I often tell myself the same thing, I'm not bad or wrong for having ADHD, I'm just different. Just wanted to throw that out there, its very easy to get caught up in that thinking and I'm guilty of it as well.

    As for what you experienced, some people just blow up when they've had a bad day or are stressed. Your question doesn't really seem off or unreasonable, I think the way that person handled it was in the wrong if anything. You shouldn't yell at anyone like that under normal circumstances, certainly not at work.

    The way you responded was more indicative of being autistic to an extent.

    IMO, nothing wrong with you my friend, seems they had an issue.
