Selfhosted@lemmy.world•Router died - Replacement/solution recommendationsEnglish
2·2 years agoMy setup is smaller, but when my venerable old router died about a year ago, I acquired an Asus TUF-AX3000_V2 where I installed FreshTomato. One can login via SSH and dump all settings for backup. Likewise, individual or all settings can be done on the command line instead of the GUI. I have a script on my computer that reads CSV files with MAC addresses and more to apply changes in an automated way.

Linux@lemmy.ml•[Solved] VPN (tailscale) connection issue each time i open the laptopEnglish
4·2 years agoThere is some information missing in the problem description. For example, if you close the lid, does the computer suspend/sleep/hibernate? It may be that when the computer sleeps something “breaks” or it may be that the act of physically closing/opening the lid has an effect (e.g. because the WiFi antenna is embedded in the display frame).
Some time ago I had a similar problem with Tailscale and sleeping. When Tailscale initializes itself (at boot), it has to interact with another service to communicate which DNS servers have become available (e.g. 100.100.100.100). Several implementations of such services exist (resolvconf, openresolv), in my case systemd-resolved. During normal operation,
resolvectl status(if using systemd-resolved) shows which DNS servers and which search domains are configured for each network interface such astailscale0. Now, there is a bug (or feature) that systemd-resolved “forgets” the DNS configuration it got from Tailscale when the computer is put to sleep. So, when the computer wakes up, name resolution via Tailscale no longer works, giving you the impression that Tailscale itself is not working, although Tailscale’s low-level functions are still operational. My “solution” was to write a small script that gets executed when the computer wakes up which sets again DNS server and search domain for network devicetailscale0.

Europe@feddit.de•German court bans LinkedIn from ignoring "Do Not Track" signalsEnglish
37·2 years agoIf you tell LinkedIn they do something illegal, they’ll just ignore you. If you ask a court to tell them, they’ll at least have to make a calculation what is cheaper: complying with a court order (less profit from using your data) or ignoring it (more legal fees). We will soon know.

This clearly demonstrates that, should the United Kingdom ever re-apply for membership in the European Union, not only will it have to adopt the Euro and the metric system, but also switch to right-hand traffic. 🙃
