You’re not going to like the pinephone, it just isn’t ready for you if you’re asking for notifications on your PC.
The calls are okay AT BEST. SMS/MMS have come a long way and should be okay. Battery life is MAYBE a day, if you’re lucky. Anything beyond that is painful unless you want to spend hours getting it to work with your own code.
Good luck!
If you want to stay with whatever provider you have you can try openVPN over TCP or a SOCKS proxy over SSH (both TCP traffic). Anything TCP might be faster than WG
Yeah, that sounds about right to me. I’d look for a different provider if you’re looking for speed. Like I said above, OVH was unusable to me so I went to hetzner.
Lookup “lowendbox” if you want something cheap. I used some Christmas or new year deal at racknerd that was alright.
You could also try a VPS from hetzner and see if its any better. Here’s my speed test just now using WG on my cell, exit through Hetzner.
Is your test TCP or UDP? My guess is that’s TCP traffic.
Your VPS provider can rate limit as specific as a single UDP port. Try a different WG UDP port or wrap your WG traffic in TCP with other software and try again.
My WG traffic looked like a DOS attack to OVH and I got blackholed for 5min, then 15, then 30.
My guess is your provider is rate limiting your UDP traffic.
There’s free domains too. I can’t recommend any but I know .tk should be free.
They can follow me and everyone else who downloaded my digital cert I posted lost control of.
I think the older coins were. I don’t think the newer coins are.
I don’t have a magnet around but I’ll be testing it later.
You will very likely waste hours of your life. you will have to google “rsync ssh non standard port” every time you want to use rsync. you will have to remember scp flags. this is also bad. probably worse.
I feel personally attacked. I use an SSH config file so its not a problem (anymore) but wow.
It’s all open source now so someone will keep it going, I’m sure.
I have no idea but I had the same question. I also love the fact that We’d believe that he’d do something like this.
Please tell me it’s real.
Welcome to the club.
Question: how to get a job as SysAdmin in 2023-2024?
We’ve been “moving to the cloud” for the last 4? years. We’ve all had training on it and most of us have accounts in “the cloud”. However, I’m supporting a legacy piece of healthcare software that they’re trying to move customers off. Dev’s have a POC that we COULD work in the cloud but it’s more a lift and shift then it is anything else. They’re going to have a HARD time getting Doctors, Hospitals signing on to be “in the cloud”, never mind the provinces. ALL health care data legally needs to stay in Canada so that’ll be fun too… Anyway, We’re not actually hiring your standard sysadmins, everyone they’re looking for needs cloud experience and they’ll be expected to at least support some ‘legacy’ software also.
it sounds like it’s the current work environment.
It is and it isn’t. I get ~$30 a day to carry the phone which is 1 week on 4 weeks off. If anyone calls me I get minimum 3 hours pay per day. This is on top of the 7h days if I worked that day. OT is a little weird math wise but I get 1.5* pay basically every time I’m called out. I’ve read this is MUCH better then a lot of places out there.
After hours work is planned but again, healthcare means I have to do it at 2-4AM usually. During the first year of covid was nuts. needed Director and in some cases VP approval for all work. why I have no idea, they don’t know what we do. It’s not so much the planned downtime that gets me, It’s when the unplanned stuff happens or I have to fight with a different team.
A couple months ago ~50% of our sql replication from one DC to another stopped working over the weekend. After an hour of fighting with the networking team I installed wireshark on both ends, wrote a quick while true nc to port 3306, captured this and showed them the packets were NOT making it to the other end. Going out A but not getting to B, it’s NOT ME. only then did they trace the fucking things to find a bad route on a device they were working on a couple hours before.
I’m a SysAdmin and I’m drained. High school and college my story was similar, I got into C programming, wrote some annoying programs and installed them at school. Got Local admin on the windows boxes from messing around… Domain admin was the same password… Shit like that made it fun. I’d selfhost websites, games, etc, etc. I wrote a simple chat app in college to talk to the other guys in the class.
Now that I’ve been a Linux Admin for ~12 years I want out. On call, after hours work, stress of downtime, all of that is too much now, there no joy in selfhosting because its just more work.
I don’t want to be rich, I just want a good life, you know? House, kids, vacation once a year. This isn’t really possible these days like it was for my dad. I wish a cabin in the woods would work for me.
I thought they backed out of that a couple weeks ago already
I’ve always bought used phones anyway. With eBay/kijiji/others you can request the seller to enable OEM unlocking so you know it can be done and you don’t even need to boot it into android before installing GrapeneOS.
My experience, not many people are willing to do that for you. YMMV.
I have one of these. No complaints.
Clearly you already know the difference /s
I have no idea, I just use and remember the one I linked above.
Yes, you may use my armpit.
