It’s hell on ram for Android, unfortunately.

Still, looks very promising

Even better, just give up on the shitty protocol that’s 20 years behind existing protocols

Boy, I’m real hesitant to go to HR. May as well ask to be fired.

It really depends on the business, culture, climate. The better places I’ve worked, this kind of interest is genuine, an attempt to foster better relationships at work. Of course, some people are just nosey Nellies…

Without knowing the environment and culture (and the questions), it’s hard to say what to do.

Best I can say is to make it clear you like to keep your work and private life well separated.

Also OP, if someone else feels insulted, that’s on them. They’ve chosen to feel insulted. Besides, how do you know she feels insulted? If she’s communicating that, then she’s being manipulative, using “emotional blackmail”. Look, I’m not responsible for how you choose to feel, that’s on you.

One trick I’ve used with people who continue with questions is to respond with a non-sequiter, something jarring, and use it all the time, repeatedly. Something like “how about the weather”, or “how about those <insert local sports team>”. Make it your catch phrase for when people continue to pry, and don’t be afraid to repeat it. Keep in mind tone matters, so say it like you mean it, like you walked in on Monday after a team did well, or got their asses beat. You don’t even have to like the sport or the team, in fact it’s kind of funny if you don’t like them.

It’s a bit of re-framing the conversation, while also communicating you aren’t interested in the subject, without being an ass. And if anyone complains, well, you were just talking about a sports team.

They said that they try to reserve their spots for people who specifically fall short of other places.

Sounds like bias.

They are crazy fast on their element.

Magisk is the root tool to use today.

Look for it on XDA.

Basic procedure:

Extract boot image from rom or phone

Install Magisk to phone.

Use magisk to patch boot image

Copy boot image to PC

Use PC to flash boot image to phone.

Good point about platform agnostic remote for management stuff. VNC is ideal for this.

And systems like Proxmox use a web GUI for most stuff, it’s a touch slow but I think that’s mostly just waiting for the system to finish the actual changes I make, and not the UI.

It uses some form of VNC (forget the name). Performance is fine for the VMs for non-video stuff.

You can run whatever you want inside a VM too.

You, I like you.

Works for me, but damn it’s dog snot slow. Like typing takes 1-2 seconds for each character to show up

Everyone of my phones aged out from lack of OS updates, not because the hardware failed or was too slow.

I have a box of them.

Wait, provide no feedback?

There was a post recently about “.LAN” recently being added to the DNS spec

Why would you run local traffic over the VPN?

What’s the Lineage website say?

I decided there simply were not enough docker apps for downloading Youtube videos, and so I made the situation worse :p

You get my upvote for this alone!

The other cost to home lab serving lots of data is internet limits.

My internet will throttle after X terabytes (I forget the limit), whether upstream or down, and of course upload is slower.

It’s like playing a game of tetris with costs, performance, stability, reliability, flexibility, privacy, security, and personal effort.

I’m not saying don’t have a home lab, just that there are things to consider. It’s worth the effort for me, though I’m working to move some things to cloud storage (e.g. Hetzner/Storj.io) and a VPS to get some of the bandwidth off my connection, and remove my home internet as a bottleneck or failure point.

It’s kind of a blanket question, and OP hasn’t shown they’ve done any homework.

If they said “I have this device, the bootloader is unlockable, but I can’t find rooting instructions for it” would at least be something.

(And I gave them directions on next steps, but not specific to any phone).

Check the Lineage website first, they may show up there. It’s a good, easy start, though not definitive.

If you can unlock the bootloader, it can most likely be rooted (I’ve never had a phone with an unlock able bootloader that I couldn’t root).

Rooting today us largely done with Magisk. The sequence is:

Extract the boot image from a rom (I’ve always done it with a rom zip I’ve downloaded, usually Lineage or Divest). So this will be dependent on ability to get the boot partition image (not sure if it can be extracted from the phone, I would think there’s a way).

Copy the boot image to the phone along with Magisk. Install Magisk, use it to patch the boot image.

Copy boot image back to PC, flash the boot image to phone. Now it’s rooted.

Run Magisk and configure root options.

Check xdadevelopers.com for latest info on Magisk, I believe it’s pretty well documented there.

Edit: If any of them are Verizon phones, it’s less likely to be rootable, though I’ve found the Vzw Moto’s tend to be unlockable.

That’s not much of an answer, I’m not reading docs because you can’t be bothered. I don’t use NixOS, so if you want to use that as an example, you’ll need to put in the effort to explain how it’s different.

If you don’t want to use LDAP, don’t. Then you get to manage each user account on each device.

To be frank, it seems like you have an adversarial attitude about this, and you think NixOS is the answer. Every one of your responses has been “but” whatever. You don’t seem like you want to understand how to use things, just complain it doesn’t work the way you think it should.
