Surely you want to enable 802.1q? Like, that is vlan aware switching and routing. Or is that on the nas?

Edit:
Some troubleshooting:

Connect a laptop into the same subnet as your Nas (so same vlan and IP range/subnet) and connect to the nas. This either eliminates the NAS or the router from the equation

Don't use a tablet or a compact screen if you are wanting to actually play games.
Monitors have been used for decades.
Small compact portable tablets or tablet-likes as a monitor are a compromise: quality for portability.
A tablet/tablet-like as a monitor is an accessory, as opposed to an actual peripheral.
You will regret not getting an actual monitor.
Any regrets you have with an actual monitor can be placated by slaying in vidya

Edit:

If you are unsure, buy a cheapish monitor on Amazon or wherever. You can get a 1080p60 monitor for like $100.
Whilst it is somewhat an investment, it will last you a few years, and you will find out what you want from a monitor while still being able to play games etc.

There is a game I play where I have an advantage playing at 4k about 80% of the time. I've actually adjusted my gameplay towards this, and I actually massively prefer being the "useful" player as opposed to the PvP god.
Like, to the point that people ask me in local coms how I am seeing things.
I just have 4 times as many pixels, and as long as I'm holding above 50fps I'm probably still going to win a PvP fight

That whole "shortest path" has caught me out before (tho in a different way)!
And firewall logs of "state violation" aren't always helpful when that's pretty much the default log message

If they are on the same subnet, why are they going via the router? Surely the NIC/OS will know it's a local address within its subnet, and will send it directly; as opposed to not knowing where to send the packet, so letting the router deal with it.

I'm assuming you are using a standard 24 bit subnet mask, because you haven't provided anything that indicates otherwise and the issue you present would be indicative of a local link being used - this possible

I'm sure this is a meme, but the trust is proving the OS is not tampered with.
Like, if malware was able to inject a malicious windows update URL into the OS, and inject a malicious certificate that gets the OS to trust the malicious updates by the malicious URL.
The signature of the OS would then differ from what the TPM/CPU recorded during OS boot and what the TPM/CPU has hashed during running. This would indicate that the OS has been tampered with.
So the trust in TPM is that the TPM and CPU are working together correctly (which is certified during manufacturing), so that the TPM can then attest that the OS (or software or whatever) hasn't been tampered with.

So yeh, it's MS (or whatever software company) trusting that the software it is interacting with is running as it is intended

If you want to power your house independently from the grid, your house has to be independent from the grid.
Anything where you sell your excess power back to the grid is in tight cooperation with the grid operators.

Standard house wiring is not set up to accommodate back feeding the grid nor independently powering.
So you will need a changeover switch professionally fitted if you want an independent power source, or your solar panel installers will fit the appropriate equipment to back-feed the grid.
Anything else will likely involve deaths, fires, broken equipment, criminal prosecution, insurance invalidation and all that nasty stuff.

Between the for-profit businesses of Google and bitwarden, I'm going to trust bitwarden more.

[–] towerful@programming.dev 2 points 5 months ago (3 children)

Bitwarden, DNS and email are the 3 services I pay for.
Passwords can't be inaccessible, free DNS services never have an LE API, and email is extremely difficult to self host. The uptime and security I expect for these things means I'm happy paying someone else to take care of it.

Bitwarden seem to be a great company and doing everything right (even though they are being annoyingly slow with passkeys on android, my only fault with their service).
Their subscription is extremely reasonable, so even if I figured I could self host it, I'd rather pay bitwarden

Yup. Such is a 2-party system.
Vote for the less-evil

Well, if the Tories get back in then deporting people to Rwanda and expansion of oil drilling in the north sea will be guaranteed.
Voting for lab, there is a chance that these will be cancelled.

Tories have had decades in charge, and shit is fucked.
Labour are more progressive - not enough for my taste, but better than constant austerity
