I’m not sure of the floor plan or roof type. But what I do is run a cable up the corner and drill a tiny hole right in the corner through the ceiling. Then I use a PoE powered access point and leave it in the ceiling space centrally located. One tiny hole you can patch with just about anything when you move house. If you have a rj45 crimper then the hole can be the diameter of the cable.

I’ve also done something similar where I run Ethernet under the floor. I lift up the carpet slightly right in the corner and drill a hole through the floor and run the Ethernet under the house. You also then take it up into a closet etc.

If you’re more adventurous and confident with electrical work you can also TURN OFF MAINS, then open up a wall power socket, disconnect the wires, tie a pull wire and your Ethernet cable very securely, and go into the roof and pull the two through into the roof space. You then tie the end of the elec cable to your pull wire and pull it back down to the socket. You can then get a wall plate that is a power socket and Ethernet female combo and voila….

I agree with this. This worked fore when I started. I also used git to manage my config. So I could branch before trying various things and so on and easily return to working configs.

I’ve used GlazeWM a bit before switching fully https://github.com/glazerdesktop/GlazeWM

That counts imho.

You should check out d2. It’s a code to diagram tool. You put some very simple coke and it draws your diagram. Quite quick and useful. Been using it for a while now.

I’ve always said this to people. I use Windows, Linux, and MacOS. I use whatever best suits what I’m doing and I like that idea. It may end up being 20/70/10, but so what. Why battle a shitty Linux app If you have a good MacOS app. Or maybe your liking that windows app for a certain task.

In reality this is really only something a dev or power user would really do though.

I had an issue where my docker networks started overlapping my network addresses and I had some issues to connect to the machine etc. so perhaps check to make sure your docker addresses don’t overlap your home network range somehow. Also keep the subnet mask in mind as the range might be bigger than what the first few numbers indicate.

I have no idea what types of files these are but it could turn out that you should rather use Git and push/pull from both sides which could works better.

Just a suggestion :)

Love seeing the older machines! I’ve got a pile of old machines too and they rock. They are slow but you know what to expect and you tolerate it because the machine has earned it. Much like a grand parent 🫣

I always love how places “ship internationally” and when you order two spools of thread I get to the checkout and see a DHL line item for US$120. 😔. That doesn’t bloody count as international shipping.

(I’m in New Zealand by the way)

Thanks.

Yep, I cling wrapped it and kept it in there while it dried. I was inspired by Chuck D from weaver leather making this: https://youtu.be/pgoxc0eaLGQ
