Definitely worth it. Runs exceptional woth GOS

Ah, yes, here come the “just use your old car because EVs are worse for the environment than the Exxon Valdez or something” posts

That is a myth thoroughly debunked by just a little bit of research and data collection into the making and driving of EVs, as that assumption ran off an old study that used guesstimated worst-case scenario numbers and don’t really reflect what the actual numbers are.

If you want to avoid being tracked, you will have to disconnect the data modem somehow - it is part of your radio antenna. If it gets no power, it gets no connection. Either disconnect from the telematics unit, or at the antenna. Also, you can disconnect your telematics unit itself - the “black box” that lives under the dash and records your driving. Some aftermarket makers have “dummy plug” connectors which will trick the car into thinking it is connected. These are often used with aftermarket head units.

Beware that some cars are tracked by your financial lender, and they don’t like it when this happens. Some other cars actually have to be cloud connected once in a while or they stop working - which is the worst thing modern cars can do.

very careful yoink

disconnect telematics units and/or radio modems.

The game is still actively developed, with the primary focus on bug-fixing. The price is one-time, and there is no intent to sell another expansion, as the game is pretty much at its technical limits as to what you can add to the game with the current expansion.

Also it has a ridiculously good mod repo and management system built into the game.

Lower the postgre to 8GB and see what happens? Also, hard drives, ssds, or nvme ssds? Recent info suggests it is possible memcaching is actually slower than direct access to nvme ssd

The lack of VoLTE in Linux OS phones is a dealbreaker for me, but otherwise, I’ve run pmOS with Posh and it works reasonably well now as of 25.06

interesting use of character for “th”

Glad me and family are not on social media.

The install terminal app is for people that like to type in the console. The Mint Upgrader will present the option to upgrade when it’s ready.

Realistically, the skip should be named “Desktop”

Block new connections inbound on the router’s wan. Also block ping if you don’t want pings to find you. That’s the most basic setup for firewalling on the udm, ipv4 and 6. Every router in 2025 should be able to block new inbound on ipv6.

Let me one up this. IPv4 NAT is like the pizza guy has to deliver to you, but you live in a gated community with a strict no visitors policy, which does not allow you to even mention what unit you’re in, and none of the addresses in the community are registered with the post office or on Google Maps either. Instead, you tell the guardhouse you want to order, and they order the pizza for you. The pizza guy delivers to the guardhouse, and the guardhouse delivers the pizza to you.

IPv6 (with firewalling) is like a normal gated community, you order the pizza and include the unit number, and the delivery driver can deliver your pizza directly, as long as the guardhouse approves.

The difference is, with NAT, the guardhouse has to both guard (firewall) and route (keep track of all deliveries, and deliver) your packages, where with IPv6, the guardhouse (firewall) only has to guard (firewall) the packages.

Skill issue

IPv6 is easy to do.

2000::/3 is the internet range

fc00::/7 is the private network range (for non routing v6)

fe80::/64 is link local (like apipa but it never changes)

::1/128 is loopback

/64 is the smallest network allocation, and you still have 64 bits left for devices.

You don’t need NAT when you can just do firewalling - default drop new connections on inbound wan and allow established, related on outbound wan like any IPv4 firewall does.

Use DHCPv6 and Prefix Delegation (DHCPv6-PD) to get your subnets and addresses (ask for a /60 on the wan to get 16 subnets).

Hook up to your printer using ipv6 link local address - that address never changes on its own, and now you don’t have to play the static ip game to connect to it after changing your router or net config.

The real holdup is ISPs getting ultra cheap routers that use stupid network allocation systems (AT&T) that are incompat with the elegant simplicity of prefix delegation and dhcp.

Is there something you absolutely need root for? Or can you get away with not having root? It is always better to not have root capability, as that is a huge attack vector.
