Tailscale serve and sharing devices

https://sh.itjust.works/post/56860823

Tailscale serve and sharing devices - sh.itjust.works

I am wondering what people’s solutions are for this conundrum. The simplest solution would be to just add this person as a user to my tailnet and have them access my sites that way, perhaps I could also limit access to certain cites by ACL e.g. the Cockpit web-management interface. I would, however, much prefer being able to just share-out my server node, and pick which services are served on their tailnet. Is this a plausible route to go?

Removing "Windows Reserved Characters" from file names

Removing "Windows Reserved Characters" from file names - sh.itjust.works

Good morning everyone! I just had a question on how to go about the age-old problem of having files created on a unix-like system (Linux, Mac etc.) that need to be shared with a Windows machine. Specifically, some tiles of the e-books and manga have “?” and “:” in the (and possibly some other reserved characters). Sadly, Syncthing has no solution for this and just creates an error on the Windows machine where my e-book library is shared. What is an easy, semi-automatic solution for renaming files to allow portability between operating systems? Ideally I would like to create a shell script that I can just run on a folder that will recursively descend through the directory structure. Thank you in advance :)

Où trouvez-vous des recommandations de livres?

Où trouvez-vous des recommandations de livres? - sh.itjust.works

Bonjour à tous, j’espère que vous passez un bon vendredi. En tant que francophile, je me demandais où vous trouviez vos recommandations de livres? Pour les livres en anglais, je consulte principalement des sites comme Goodreads, des recommandations d’amis (qui semblent beaucoup provenir de TikTok), ou je navigue simplement, car je sais en quelque sorte ce que je cherche Pour la littérature française, c’est un peu plus difficile pour moi, en dehors d’aller dans une des libraires et de feuilleter, où trouvez-vous vos prochaines lectures? Merci d’avance pour les suggestions! :3

PS2 Memory Cards

PS2 Memory Cards - sh.itjust.works

Hello everyone! I was wondering what advice people have in acquiring PS2 memory cards. I recently acquired a PS2 slim for my birthday, and frankly my only experience with memory card based consoles is a backwards compatible Wii (where I have a memory card + virtual memory cards on the SD / backups of the memory card) What is the safest route (in terms of longevity / corruption) to go (with or without homebrew). Thank you for your feedback, looking forward to trying some classics I missed out when I was younger :)

Canadian Alternative for Public Transit Maps - Transit

Canadian Alternative for Public Transit Maps - Transit - sh.itjust.works

This is a great alternative to Apple / Google maps for public transit takers. Generally speaking their data is a lot better for service issues, rerouted lines, and the actual time of arrival for transit vehicles. Many transit authorities in Canada actually offer the premium subscription for this app, for free, to frequent riders AND the app is developed locally (in Québec) If you’re just looking for general maps however I highly suggest Open Street Map, or the Organic Maps app on Android (which uses OSM data). While they aren’t explicitly Canadian, they get you away from American tech conglomerates and give back ownership of data to you, the user!

Calendar Options *other* than Tuta / Proton

Calendar Options *other* than Tuta / Proton - sh.itjust.works

Hello everyone! I was wondering what solutions people have for Calendar syncing that are not Proton / Tuta. Specifically, I was wondering what E2EE options are available that are ideally cross-platform as well. The main reason why I ask is I am frankly frustrated with how both Tuta and Proton rely on their own apps, and don’t necessarily integrate well with all operating systems. Especially with Proton’s growing suite of apps, it feels like they are in some ways creating their own walled garden. While it is at this time a better privacy option than the conventional options, it is still a situation that feels like a vendor lock-in situation. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated, including those that require a self-hosted server :)

Disappointment with Links Awakening Remake (NSW); what could have been a great game hampered by lacklustre controls.

Disappointment with Links Awakening Remake (NSW); what could have been a great game hampered by lacklustre controls. - sh.itjust.works

Recently I borrowed my partner’s copy of Links Awakening for the Nintendo Switch. I understand that many people did not enjoy the remake due to the graphics but I am one of the weirdos who somewhat enjoys the cutesy round graphics with the intense depth of field / forced perspective look. From a pure graphical standpoint I think this is a really good way of remaking a top down GB / GBC game for a new platform. I similarly enjoyed Pokémon Alpha Sapphire’s graphics despite many others not enjoying them. I think this has to be one of the most frustrating remakes I have played in recent history, solely for the inability to use the dpad for 8 direction movement. I am not against the remake using the joystick for movement, for example the aforementioned Pokémon game alows for the circle pad and the dpad to be used (for 360 degree movement and 8 direction tile based movement). My frustration with the controls in link’s awakening is the forced use of the joystick with 8 direction tile based movement. What could have otherwise been an enjoyable experience is made more difficult, and leaves me wondering why I am not playing the original on my 3ds instead. I do really enjoy many of the QoL improvements in the remake, the graphics, and the music. I also appreciate having the X and Y buttons available unlike the original gameboy versions. I’m still going to power through it, but sadly the GBC version is going to be the definitive version for me despite this version coming so close for me.

How do people plan for their deaths in terms of account & device secrets (passwords, 2fa etc.)?

How do people plan for their deaths in terms of account & device secrets (passwords, 2fa etc.)? - sh.itjust.works

I have thought about this on and off for quite a few years now, and I was just wondering what people here have done while maintaining account / device security. I hope people don’t mind this rather morbid conversation, but how have people here planned for what will happen with their accounts, computers, self hosted things etc. in the event of their deaths? I am particularly interested in what people have planned for if they are the person in their household who is self hosting things for the household. I’m not in a living situation that allows me to self host much but it is one of the questions I’ve had for myself when I decide to move in with my significant other and self host more things. I don’t think they could manage much of the self hosted stuff and I also don’t think they can remember all of the credentials for accounts etc., is the best way of going about it sharing a keepass database or bitwarden account with them? In regards to my accounts, I am not expecting most of my accounts to transfer, if anything I’d much rather them be deleted (and I have enabled this feature where possible). There are a few however, that I wouldn’t mind leaving to someone after my passing. Is there a privacy and security preserving way of setting this up? I guess I have just been struggling with how to do this, ideally I would want a way for accounts to transfer to someone listed in my will, but I don’t think it’s a good idea to give ~2-3 people a copy of my keepass databse while I am still living. I am looking forward to hearing what people’s thoughts are on this matter, and I apologize again for such a morbid topic.

Minolta VC-9 battery grip (for α9 / Maxxum 9) - Rechargeable AAs?

cross-posted from: https://sh.itjust.works/post/16545183 [https://sh.itjust.works/post/16545183] I recognize that this is very much a camera question, but I just thought I would ask here as well even if you only can chime in on the electrical voltage / battery front and not my specific camera.

Good afternoon! I was wondering if anyone had experience with using rechargeable AAs (specifically Panasonic Enloops / Enloop Pros). I have yet to try them, but hypothetically they should work as they don’t exceed the maximum voltage of 1.5 per cell. (They’re 1.2 per cell, closer to what a disposable battery is part way through its life cycle) I also was wondering if anyone has ever found rechargeable batteries that would work in the main body. I have yet to find one that isn’t 3.7v (exceeding the normal 3v of the disposable ones) which would likely render the camera inoperable. Thank you for your time :)
