Plain HTTP means anyone between you and the server can see those credentials and gain access.

It it using HTTP Basic Auth by chance? It would be so easy to put nginx (or some other reverse proxy with TLS) in front and just pass the authentication headers.

Especially with music, if any of this is plain HTTP (or any other plaintext, non-encrypted protocol) and you live in a lawsuit happy jurisdiction you might end up with piracy letters in the mail.

Yeah the “whole thread” goes off about iOS 18, so my bad for assuming people were using iOS 18. 😒

Though you’re right, the entire thread is pointless. I’m considering blocking this community because it feels like everyone’s got an attitude problem.

So you prefer they don’t take any feedback at all so everyone can complain about it and they’re never made aware of the issue. Okay 🙄

iOS 18 is in beta, which means you should be using the Feedback app to report stuff like this. Apple has actually been very good at responding to me about stuff like this, so I actually encourage you utilize the app.

I’m thinking of building my own and having it use Paperless’ API for invoices, receipts, etc.

I finally gave this a go a few days ago but wasn’t in love with the UI. I’d contribute but it’s written in .NET.

I’ll probably build something myself. One thing I’d like to do is have it integrate with other APIs (like Paperless).

I’d curl from a machine on the same WiFi network as the phones just to confirm that HTTP is working. That way you’re not dependent on browsers that can be more finicky for debugging.

I’ve noticed that but I thought I just didn’t know how to persist it correctly and never bothered to find out how. If what you’re saying is accurate (which I don’t doubt) that sucks.

GL.iNet actually has a decent UI too. When I’m on the road I don’t necessarily love hitting the CLI (okay fine I secretly do); they keep the updates going for a long time too.

I didn’t have a great reason other than mind-blowing performance on my LAN, and with large files (which I have a lot of) performance is better too. Probably I’m not smart enough to answer this well, but I did just see this today: https://www.phoronix.com/review/linux-611-filesystems/2

I’m a huge fan of XFS for network mounts. I think everyone else here is right that the best filesystem will depend on the OS, and picking one to make it compatible with everything has serious tradeoffs.

How is VPN on airline wifi? I’ve yet to try it out; I usually just listen to a bunch of music I’ve downloaded ahead of time.

I’ve just discovered this today too! I’m not even sure how to find my key (Proton user too). I’ve admittedly not spent too much time understanding PGP since basically no one uses it.

pfSense is UNIX-based and those commands are generally included with Linux and probably Linux-specific.

I’m running a Raspberry Pi 4 with an array of hard disks. Essentially the entire OS is on a small SSD but because I have so much data I’ve got two traditional HDD drives with XFS and LUKS disk encryption.

I’d say overall it works fantastically, over 802.11ax and Samba I’m pushing about 600-700 Mbps while transferring to the HDD drives.

I usually play around with travel routers and OpenWRT but if I had an old router laying around maybe I’d do something fun with it.

I have a Bluetooth OBD-II scanner that works with Android/iOS but the app I use kind of sucks. Others I’ve found that claim to be something of a maintenance app suck as well.

Sometimes I wish I were an iOS developer.

I’m thinking about the RS6 a lot but really want to put Alpine Linux on it if I can manage it. My reasoning is I already know how to set up a router from scratch on the command line.

OpenWRT is probably easier but I’ve had bad experiences with its UI (and the distro as a whole) in the past, but the version of it on my GL.inet travel router is pretty rock solid though the UI still annoys me and I’d rather do most configuration via SSH.

Does OpenWRT support multiple WireGuard interfaces and VLANs? This is kind of what I’m wanting.

pfSense (I know, it’s UNIX) looked good on paper too but after playing with it on a VPS the UI just seemed overly complex. I don’t want to learn the ins and outs of some weird UI.

You can strike a balance with higher-end (in quality) consumer or small business networking gear.

If it’s in your budget, I’d suggest buying a simple router like the Ubiquiti Edgerouter X, run some Ethernet and rely on a switch and access points for WiFi (I use Ubiquiti U6 Pro but I wouldn’t be too picky about it). I’ve never been into the “mesh” WiFi networking concept because it doesn’t make sense to use the air as your backhaul (if you can help it).

What I wouldn’t recommend is buying some beefed up consumer all-in-one router. It’ll cost a fortune, your coverage won’t be as good and once it’s time to upgrade you’ll be forced to replace the entire thing.

Hopefully this helps.
