How we get back to our home LANs when we are away travelling etc. It mostly involves WireGuard and Tailscale. We also get into blocking ads, mostly with Pi-hole.

Chris ended up with a managed M4 Macbook Air at work with no sudo or root. So how does a Linux user get on with his first ever Mac? Turns out pretty well, thanks to lots of open source software and a terminal.

May has actually been using her stack of laptops and learning that “legacy” distros make more sense, the Firefox flatpak performs better than other packages, Linux Mint is a fine distro, Linux has the best calculators, and GNOME’s scaling is really good now.

We’ve done various challenges in the past where we’ve bought Linux machines on a seriously low budget, but what if we had an unlimited budget? What would we buy in this hypothetical situation? It turns out we all struggled to come up with anything and are pretty satisfied with the machines we already have.
Note that this episode was recorded before we found out that Framework supports problematic projects.

We cover some of your emails, questions, and comments. A challenge suggestion of not using a package manager, donating old hardware, why we don’t use custom ROMs on our phones, whether low end laptops with soldered eMMC storage are worth buying (they aren’t), and tips for using Home Assistant with Apple gear and Jellyfin on Android.

Summer is officially over. As the nights draw in it’s time to hunker down and work on our technical debt. We all have Linuxy projects that we are planning, so we commit to doing them by Christmas – when we will record a follow-up episode. Docker Compose, Immich, Jellyfin, learning Python, moving away from Synology, Home Assistant, and more.
