This is why I ask humans instead of AI. I didn’t consider router level options.

I’ve already got dynamic DNS set up, and I’ve been meaning to set up a way to access my NAS from out of the house. This might be the final push I need.

My router is running OpenWRT (and stopped having intermittent issues after replacing the stock OS).

I’m leaning toward Tailscale for the “quick and easy” recommendation. If I need to do this again, I might try something a little more advanced.

So probably pinging the entire network with discovery packets multiple times per second and doing nothing with the result.

It runs on Windows XP

Trying to ray-trace a 512,000x256,000 image using Chunky. I had to split it into 16 parts to reduce the RAM to a sane amount (in 2018, it may have been optimised since).

I was trying to find the limit for a single png, and I think I found it.

No

It turns out the computer mostly freezes once you go past 200% RAM used.

Have you made any changes to your network or bought any new devices in the last week?

I once had a new house battery (SigEnergy) interfere with my smart lights by spamming my network with discovery packets.

I liked Sublime enough to pay for it. It has become my primary text editor at home.

I also like Atom/Pulsar, but it takes a but too long to open for my use case.

Obsidian isn’t exactly a text editor, but it fits many of the use cases. It may be closed source, but all the files are accessible and usable if the app ever disappears.

I want to use vim more, but I’m lazy, and the learning curve keeps putting me off. I might get there eventually.

Nano is ol’ reliable. When everything else failed, Nano was still there for me and worked perfectly.

Excuse me, but real programmers use butterflies.

I use Mint, and my brother sister uses Arch. Seems accurate enough to me.

At least Windows appears user friendly. Arch otoh is quite hard to set up the first time.
