Sunny,

So this is actually the current setup, minus the WiFi extender. However it’s not very practical for us, as one of the phones would have to be left in one location at all times and this signal isn’t strong enough to emit throughoyt the whole whose, because of the very thick walls and floors. A WiFi extender could help here indeed, but it would go down again each time that phone leaves the house etc… Looking for a more permanent and practical solution, but thanks for you suggestion!

Sunny,

Thank you very much, I’ll check em out!

Sunny,

The WiFi also wouldn’t be great throughout the house without multiple extenders too sadly. It’s a big house and has very thick walls and floors.

Thoughts on Guard.io as a service for lesser tech savvy family members?

Hi there, So just watched latest video of Jim Browning and in the video he had a sponsor I had not heard about before, Guard.io. So I went to check it out, and it seems like a fairly decent service (by that I mean, a service I would put on family members devices) for helping against possible phishing attempt and general...

Sunny,

Hmm, I agree that it’s not the best advertising in the world. But also they are closed source, so I guess it can never truly be trusted. Question that really remains is: is it better to use them than to not use them, for lesser tech savvy peeps.

Sunny,

Fair enough, thanks 😊

Sunny,

I personally use nextDNS, and love it. However my setup is too strict for their use cases and blocks newspapers and stuff they read. I also don’t feel comfortable logging their devices. I guess I could spin up a few more nextDNS accounts for them on the free plan instead though, that’s probably what I should do.

Sunny,

As another comment said, through DoT and DoH. Also newly registered links (30days) are blocked by default (at least with my nextDNS settings). I was however mixing up, thinking Mullvad would do the same… I should probably make a nextDNS profile for each member in family.

Sunny,

Hold on, is that possible in nextDNS? Never seen that option before.

Sunny,

This could also be a weekly engagement thing, but from the users? For example, a weekly thread called “This Week’s Discovery”. And then people can suggest their findings and share experiences.

Sunny,

I was getting these advertisements, even as a paid user, just before Christmas. Multiple other people have complained about it both here and on Reddit too. It seems to have gotten better now, but I know a few people have been quite turned off by this.

Sunny,

Are you talking about the emails?

Sunny,

I wasn’t 🙃

Sunny,

I was referring to pop-ups about family plans and black Friday sale button actually. Wasn’t possible to remove these, and I was already a paying member… I have however not seen these in a while, so maybe they took a hint after getting some backlash.

Sunny,

Pretty sure it’s authentic after a close look. But at first glance I thought the same.

Steam Flatpak interface randomly freezes

I am using the Steam Flatpak on OpenSuse Tumbleweed and when using the Steam interface, specifically when I get a chat message or try to respond to one, the Steam UI will hard freeze, as in a I can’t type or move windows or interact with anything and then 30 seconds or so later everything goes back to normal. Plasma is still...

Sunny,

How would permission affect freezes?

Sunny,

Rethink DNS is an amazing app if you’re on android. Highly worth giving a shot! Even for the peeps on other solutions.

Sunny,

I’m not 100% if this solves it as I’ve not used it myself yet. But there is this service called Recyclarr, might be worth checking out ☺️
