Apple tech is a prison just like any other cloud "the customer is the product" tech. The bars just happen to have a better UX.

Use Tailscale, for the most part it's pretty transparent. As long as all the magic DNS stuff is setup correctly, I can access all my internal services by name and it just works.

Where's an open window when you need one... :-/

Sounds like a good way to ensure it's neither efficient or economic. I've come to expect nothing less from Trump's policy suggestions.

Abort, Retry, or Fail. But all at the same time.

Yea, we've got it so easy today. These kids have no idea :-P

But seriously, I'm sorry that sucks. I happened to be lucky enough with an uncle-in-law's dad being an EE and just literally gave me a bunch of 6502 development stuff (by that time it was reasonably dated and he had retired). I also got lucky to live in a place where the libraries has tech and programming books that were pretty decent. Had those two things not been there, it would have been a very different story.

I try to pay that forward any way I can by taking part in the local tech/invention/science fair thing. Hopefully to be there to show youngsters how wonderful and interesting tech can be.

Probably could have stopped that headline at the third word.

I think we can all agree to lose the keys to that cage, right?

Yes. I used to do that when I had no other option. In my early days I managed to get a worm spread by a susceptible sshd in.. red hat 5ish.. don't remember exactly. But the point being: keeping things secure is hard work. And even then it might not be possible.

These days I use tailscale and essentially never leave my internal network regardless of being directly connected to it or not.

Set it up with your own DNS server and tailscale's ability to forward specific domains to your DNS server and it all just works.

I'm a Fira Code (patched w/ Nerd Font) user, but love to try out a new font every once in a while. This one does look nice. Will have to see about patching it w/ the nerd font glyphs, as my tmux/nvim output is going to look like garbage w/o those.

I can't say it better than this post. Only thing I'll add is it's often just nice to have a shell on a machine outside of one's usual machines for debugging.
