Ah, Trello.
I can use that to hyper-focus on my tasks. But before I do that, I have to list, prioritize, and organize my tasks. But before that, I should create a layout for my tasks. What statuses should I have. Should I use deadlines?
What was I doing again?
Frankly, better one of his properties than Cambridge University.
Well yes, it is one hop, because you’ve got the router doing TLS termination. Inside your network you point to the server that has the TLS certs. Outside of the network you do port forwarding, or use a tunnel with cloudflare agents.
Why is the router involved at all? It’s all local traffic. The external traffic comes through the cloud flare tunnel, right? Maybe I’m not understanding the architecture you’ve got.
It’s possible but it’s an extra pain in the butt.
Internally, have you tried pointing the DNS directly to the ngnix server, not the router? There’s no reason to have that extra hop (I don’t think).
If you are establishing a TLS connection to a server, the server will need a certificate. It sounds like you’re trying to have two instances of a reverse proxy - one on the server, and one on the router. It may be my ignorance of the particulars, but my immediate thought is that you should select one point in the network to do reverse proxying.
The amplifi line is the plug and play line closest to the google/eero/etc. experience. It is specifically the one I was referring to which has less than enthusiastic feedback.
I neglected to mention Mikrotik. They’re a Latvian company that is also in the space. I think they’d be farther to the professional/complex end of the spectrum. Omada is in the middle, and Ubiquiti leans toward the easier to use side. They’re all going to need more work than google wifi, unfortunately.
The “other” site has a wealth of information; evanmccann.net is a good source for demystifying their product line as well.
Google‘s (and Facebook, and all the social media ad companies’) business model is predicated on the notion they have a better profile of their victims than the other ad network. They’ll never tell your uncle about what you search for at 2am, but they’ll indirectly sell it.
The best thing to do is to run a wired backhaul, if it’s remotely possible. MoCa or power line adapters are possible options but do your research and assess your own situation. Wifi is more complex that it can seem on the surface, and wireless backhaul adds its own nuance.
With higher end products you may find that you don’t need a mesh network - just one AP may solve the problem. All my neighbours have f’ing extenders which take up a ton of airspace and the houses are 30sqm footprint.
Ubiquiti makes the UniFi line which is prosumer. You’ll need several components; unless you’ve got more than 1gbps service, the UDM is a good starting point. They also make the amplifi line; I don’t think there’s a lot of positive feedback on those products.
Tplink is a Chinese company and therefore immediately suspect in some eyes, but their Omada line is pretty reliable. They also make the Deco line for more home-focused solutions. They’ve been in the news a bit lately, more so because people don’t change passwords from what I recall, but I wanted to mention it.
So far, there’s been a good bit of money to be made in timing the stock market to announcements. But I’m sure no American politician would be involved with insider trading.
The RO system is dependent on the membrane. Theres a level of standardization for membranes and pre-filters. This is an example: https://www.freshwatersystems.com/products/axeon-5-stage-ro-system-50-75-gpd Conversely, there’s a lot of branded systems that require special format filters and membranes (https://www.premierh2o.com/ro-pure-plus-voc-system), which can naturally only be sourced from the manufacturer. A good 4-stage system can be sourced for about $200 give or take.
RO was developed to desalinate water. Therefore, if you use a salt-based ion exchange water softener (the standard water softener) and then run that through an RO, it’ll be a pretty straightforward process. The more pressure you can provide up front (within the specs of the system), the more efficient the system will be. (Actually, it’s the pressure differential that really makes a difference, so if you’re pulling out one cup at a time, it’s less efficient than pulling out a litre). If your water is very hard, there will be more brine produced. There are ways to minimize that waste (effectively by injecting it into the hot water supply), if that’s important to you.
A distiller will have the same problems any boiler will have.
I’ve got a softener and a RO. It comes in between 450 and 550ppm and leaves around 30-70ppm. You typically want to see a >90% reduction; less than that and the membrane needs replacing or you may have pressure issues.
And it’s getting harder to find powder. Try finding powder dishwasher detergent… locally, nothing.
What brand are those power strips? Last time I went shopping for power strips, they were all the rage and I could hardly find one WITHOUT that feature. Today, several years later, I can’t find any. Except, perhaps, some Chinese ones without safety approvals. I need one for my tv.
Yes, neonicotonoids probably kill bees.
But if we want to be taken seriously, we need to be knowledgeable about the subject. Neonicotonoids are a class of insecticides. Roundup is a herbicide (glyphosate). They can both be bad, but they are bad in different ways.
