    What services you run on Proxmox?

    I have recently installed Proxmox on an old laptop that was laying unused for quite some time. I have installed Tailscale on it to help me access it remotely. I was curious, those of you who are running Proxmox at home, what services do you normally use? Media server? VPN? Please suggest useful...

    What OS are you most comfortable with?

    I currently use Mac OS and it is working quite good. UX is great and integration with iOS is seamless. I am also running Pop Os (Linux) on a secondary machine and it gets the job done. Quite stable and does not break things when updates happen.

    Android Looking for phone for dad under 15k

    True, but Motorola phones still have bloatware issues. One of my friends uses a Moto G32, but with software updates, it started getting annoying lock screen pop-ups called 'Live Lock Screen.' I think one can still disable them, but it gets enabled again with software updates. Something you might...

    Ipad 9 Gen still a good buy in Nov 2024?

    It will be fine for next 2-3 years but after that it is going to be a struggle. Usually tablets are kept longer than mobile phones.

    Mac OS MacOS recommended tools, apps

    For those who are into programming and need a simple and fast text editor, I recently found Zed. It's even faster than Sublime Text (other freemium editor that I use). Check it out here: https://zed.dev/ (Oh yes, it's free and open-source :) )

    Reliable and good-quality playlist for IPTV

    I currently use https://github.com/iptv-org/iptv. This one is actively maintained and provides playlists URLs grouped by category, language, country, and region. I mostly watch NHK World and it works fine for that purpose.

    ACT Fibernet silently cuts FUP from 3300GB to 1500GB

    True, but they should explicitly mention Post-FUP speeds if they plan to enforce speed limits. Since most of the content these days is cached (Netflix, Google, Facebook etc), ISPs should strive to remove these FUPs at least on fiber broadband where it is relatively much easier to build high...

    ACT Fibernet silently cuts FUP from 3300GB to 1500GB

    This is very sad situation where ISPs providing internet services via Fiber are trying to reduce FUP limits especially at the time when OTT and Online content consumption is increasing and people are cord-cutting. ISPs need to improve/increase their capacity and try to raise these limits. Jio...

    Spam calls severely affecting mental health

    Truecaller seem to be only option and it just works. Free version have ads though but it filters most of the spam. I tried reporting spam calls to TRAI via SMS but most of the time they just ignore or they will give excuses that they didn't find the call of promotional/spam nature etc. Also it...

    AnandTech shutting down after more than 2 decades in tech journalism

    Man, this is so sad. I remember reading throughly done testing of SSDs (cell health, endurance, stress testing), or Intel NUC testing etc which was very rarely done by others. Would definitely be missed. These days people just prefer to watch YouTube videos and less text unfortunately.
