  • This is true, but something about being an Electronics Engineer makes you want to check. (I didn’t even trust Philips to get it right, but they did.)

    I didn’t go into detail, but simple Dashed/Solid line doesn’t tell you the whole story. Those simple wall warts are not fancy switch mode, or even old school rectified. I measured 14VDC unloaded, which I can probably guestimate in experience, to be a 9VDC loaded reading.

    The actual reading on wallwarts are generally untrustworthy, unless its a thing from Samsung or apple, where the circuitry are what you would expect (switched etc).




  • For tipping countries like the US, the driver would only get a “has a tip” notification on the order (if they get any information like that at all!) so they can decide. There is no way the driver can see that there is a $40 order with a $4 tip, or a $40 order with a $16 dollar tip. Orders would be ignored all the time, and the service would fail.

    Oh, and if they did get a “has tip” flag for the order, then customers could just game it, by selecting “add tip” and setting it to $0 or $0.10 or something so their order gets that “has tip” flag!!

    Here is AU, there is no tipping, so the drivers get paid like normal people. None of this work for tip bullshit that seems to have survived this long in the US, its incredible that it has gotten this far. Now the US get asked for tips using self-service machines, that is the height of lunacy!


  • I find Joplin perfect for my needs. Markdown, embedding images, links etc. I sync to my selfhosted nextcloud.

    I like tags, I would like them to add a “directory tree” type of view to help sort “folders” (the thing they call “notebooks”) but only because I am more used to just filesystem type structured filing. But the notebooks and tagging idea works for me too.

    I strictly use it for notes/note keeping, in particular “HOWTO’s” and specific topic notes. So I dont even do a great deal of markdown in my notes, but I love the ability to add screen captures etc to them for clarity.

    And being on nextcloud, I can access those notes anywhere on any device, PC, Android, Raspberry Pi!! Joplin has an app for all of them






  • I know this is not useful for most use cases, but if you login to the desktop on the ‘remote Wayland’, locally first then RD will work as expected. So if you can change the behaviour of the remote desktop to stay unlocked (IE its in a secure place where others cannot just access the device), then and RD will work with Wayland.

    I use NoMachine (since I manage all sorts of devices, and its nice that there is a client and server for everything including phones/arm) and it works for me because many of the machines are actually VM’s and I can keep the desktops unlocked and logged in. NoMachines solution for Wayland - is to disable it and use X11 !!

    But I wish many of the RD developers would just embrace Wayland and add/rewrite code to support it (If it is in their scope, I don’t know) It might not be, since I am aware of Waypipe and Pipewire, but I’d assume that RD devs would still need to include support for that.







  • Thats not how it works.

    You have a LAN and hopefully you have a firewall that shields your LAN from WAN. Your fw is probably handing out DHCP lease IP (like 192.168.x.y)

    When you “bridge” your VM looks like an independant device on you LAN. Nothing at this point has allowed it to the public. Your dhcp can even give it an IP (but its probably better to set a static ip). In bridge mode, a "fake mac is spoofed alongside you nic’s real mac, and only for said VM)

    At that point the VM id accessible likr any other device on the LAN.

    if you then want to use vpn, just connect to your LAN however that works(vpn to computer or vpn to firewall/vpn server) and access.

    if you want to access from WAN without vpn, then you need to understand reverse proxying and youll need a full proper firewall\gateway device at the front of your network (like OPNsense).
