This feels like an April fools joke.
Ridiculous concept. If you can’t do the math, get an app or ask an adult.
Right, but that’s a lot more work. Costs them, time and effort and processing costs and power.
Its not sustainable or scalable at that form factor
Some credit cards offer 2% cash back… (Not points) So it’s hard to give that up when you get 2% off for just about every dollar you spend. Why wouldn’t you put every dollar on card you would normally spend.
This doesn’t work well if you are paying interest…
If you’re fiscally savvy and don’t overspend and can pay your balance in full every month and are not paying interest, this is a strong vote for choosing over cash.
However, without that…I see no benefit and would use more cash for all reasons in this thread.
Thanks for clarifying, I misunderstood the question.
The content on YouTube is golden and likely cannot be replaced, created elsewhere.
Hence, stripping the junk is what makes it palatable for me.

If you can, set this up on your router and then specify which devices should route through.
You may also want to use pihole for ad blogging and as your DNS server. and in pihole use your VPN server’s DNS such that you don’t have DNS leak.
And if the VPN is down, your computer won’t work until it comes back up.
Helpful if you run the network at your house
I’ve been a fan of the dual boot option (sometimes separate hard drives)
Boot PC. Press F8. Select Windows drive and boot to windows 10 for gaming.
Most of time it defaults to Linux and that’s where i live the other 97% of the time
I have the same setup on my laptop. There’s always something easier on Windows whether I like it or not and it’s good to have the option.
Never had an issue with them coexisting.
I flew Icelandic air recently and they had A 4 minute long ad playing with no way to skip or mute that had to play before the entertainment system was available. It played a soon as you turned it on!
I had to unplug and look away for 4+ minutes
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.
Yeah I hear you on that.
Maybe just find a spot to start a conversation and see what comes of it. Maybe list a couple recent projects and what you want to do next. See what other folks are working on and If enough interest.
I’m currently working on some VLAN segmentation for IOT and have several IOT things blocked from accessing the Internet (like my network printer and some smart lights) (I run openHAB for home automation locally) , I also have some DNS blocking.
I have some USB logic analyzers and want to play with sigroc but haven’t got around to that. Also built an oscilloscope and want to learn to use it more (might make a signal generator so I can use some known frequencies and such) to ensure the oscilloscope is dialed in.
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 am interested and also looking for good resources, buddies that do similar… So if you find the spot or create something I could see myself in there. I like to hardware tinker, solder, flash tasmota to sonoffs31 plugs, esp3266, esp32.
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!
Hahaha
Why not disable ipv6 for local lan?
I disable It on everything for next decade until it’s mainstream.
