After October 2026, nobody should be port-forwarding IMHO.
I am next to learn about the "tailscale options" of this new world.
Wish us all luck.
I am definitely still learning.
As I only really learn visually (i.e. I love GUI environments), LLMs have enabled me to (quite dangerously, I might re-enforce) finally explore Linux (from MacOS for ~40 years).
I have tried for a long time (to adopt any Linux) – the fact that an LLM also won't be a sassyb when asking simple questions... is one reason I am so comfortable with my/our future(s).
Now I have learnt something.
Thanks for the link (above).
Ubuntu found me (finally, with the tutorialhelp of a localLLM) in 2026, and I don't trust most of the opt-outs.
On the current timeline, this is a user error, friend.
You need this for more than just better GUI experiences – the internet is actively adversarial, now.

I believe one million+ devices are "suspected."

I'm just beginning to play around with Docker, and I have a spare eWaste Intel 4xxx (with dual PCI slots and two 56k modems!~); hoping that my own MacBook can "dock" in to my landline's RJ-11 "virtually" – that I can figure this out with LLMS as a dumbass electrician is incredible! – exciting stuff to learn'bout.
>>"Where we're going, we won't need eyes..."
Hell is real: we create our own best emprisonments.
The majority US voter demographic is geriatric – same demographic grew us up on televisions, then never turnt them off.
Fortunately, Fox News' own demographic cannot live forever...
Can't wait to see 24/7 curated news disappear with the landline coax networks.
Dear SCOTex Brother:
Your brothers are ashamed of you ("right now").

>>It's just welfare by another name.
Don't really care what you call it, what is your solution ("UBI" or "welfare" – who cares?)?
Because killing the majority of us zoo exhibits seems like the easiest solution, IMHO.

Have great Mondays, frens.
Am I misunderstanding some "deeper meaning" ?
Or, 90% of us (that aren't zoo-worthy) will need to be exterminated. 2/3rds+ of us American't were "paycheck to paycheck" – a statistic which pre-dates Covid!
Eternal War is Peace™
Pay peanuts, expect a circus.
At this point, we'll either have universal UBI -=or=- ongoing war.
Unfortunately, the latter is more profitable, so... the future is by design, probably.
Only one machine is allowed to access google et. al. (my "slop bucket," which gets auto-imaged on every boot).
My tax iMac (2006) hasn't been online in two decades.

I've been playing with Docker (for the past month); the idea is cool, but a complete security nightmare; having read about the "guestWiFi hacks" across vlans, I think virtual machines aren't always a suitable solution (also read about two LLM-VMs communicating via CPU cahces – dam!).

Also donated to Bernie, once – then ShareBlue gave it to a Clinton.
This political whoredom works best against our own interests.
Perhaps a vulnerability still exists (for one offline NAS, only): I use dedicated NICs (on each end) to direct-link my online NAS (which is otherwise local network, only, on a separate NIC), for routine backup.
Perhaps this leaves a bridge-LAN vulnerability?
But one is entirely offline, as are all its clients (dumb TVs, mostly).
...with a hint of sarcasm, but the percentage is definitely a non-zero number.
So I don't. Fines are very low (almost not worth paying, entirely), so I don't sweat it (and know where lots of "free" parking is).

Definitely this makes scheduling important – and then following through. I will typically arrive a bit early, and not leave until (they're) fifteen minutes late.
It is cumbersome but worthwhile; if I had family (or was "on call") this would obviously be impossible.
I had a similar event (but only once) supporting university labs: one of those four "alignment pins" broke off; but they're not necessary once the magnets are engaged. Unfortunately, I had to completely re-disassemble the entire unit to shake out that metallic-breakoff.
The 2006 iMac is a dream to work on: the back plate (including stand) simply detaches, exposing access to everything without having to remove the LCD – this latter part is the worst part of any newer iMac-opening.
Thanks for sharing your similarities, fellow-oldening-hat.

In psychedelic tongue: it drips well.
And it's getting so inexpensive (I can easily price many 120Hz systems, barely above $1000)!
How much (approx) was your son's build?
A major problem in Unions is that cronyism is even good'ole'boy'er than the general US population's. My only touting of "join a union" is for would-be apprentices to "learn the ropes" about construction. Get paid to learn; retire elsewhere... [†]
They no longer allow this (at least not in 520), but I soon realized the best "life balance approach" to being IBEW was: enter in their non-traditional student pathway (i.e: olderfolk, CW/CE) and then never progress beyond 90%er [•] – to me, the extra 10% pay wasn't worth all the headache of working with management to coordinate jobsite goals. Many "ninety-percenters" remain, grandfathered (but slowly retiring).
[†] LU520's payscale isn't among "the best;" if you're in an area where your ticket-out is $70+/hr, then retiring IBEW probably makes sense...
