I’ve used these guys in the past.

DIY alarm.com setup.

It’s been a while since but I used a GoControl 2 panel. Looks like they have new stuff or you can order used on ebay.

Santa Baby is also pretty gross. “Hurry down my chimney tonight” …urm, okay…

Like amazon ring devices? I think it’s called Sidewalk .

Yes. Noticed yesterday. I was even logged in to a friend’s YouTube Premium account. Loaded like I have slow internet.

I watched some house show several years ago and thought these were awesome. I think there were temporarily trading houses with people.

Probably Teflon 🤣💀

Are you shopping at best buy?

Still can’t use tap to pay

Gold mine sandwich !

MX has its own built in tool to make a bootable USB with persistence

But it’s cheap! $10 a YEAR when I last checked.

Check out NetBird. I just started using it and it’s amazing. 100 agents free with using their server. Open source and you can selfhost it with no limitations!

There should be more deals when you click add services.

Understand on the latency possibly being an issue. I did see they have servers in France now. Maybe you could do some ping tests.

Okay. Everyone is different. If they can point, click and type they can open a terminal and type something simple.

I have to say your car analogy is more difficult.

It’s just a matter of explaining a different process than what they are familiar with to install something. It’s not hard at all after you show/explain. Just different and in my opinion easier than an exe.

If you can open an app you can open the terminal. It’s not a daunting task.

It’s less steps than an exe and automated. Opening the terminal is one click. It’s not like you need to know how to do anything else in there.

It is extremely easy. Open terminal, one command. Done. Your quote ended with “and…” As if there was a lot to type.

“Oh that’s easy. Just open the terminal and type pacman -S firefox” sounds better.

It actually way easier on Linux. Arch just type: pacman -S programName Or yay -S programName

Most distros have a software “store” and it’s just as simple as installing an app on your phone.

If you want something cheap check out RackNerd yearly deals. Last I checked they still have listings for black Friday and other old deals once you’ve made an account. I got a server for like $12 a year with 5tb monthly bandwidth. I have 3 servers total with them and haven’t had a problem for the 3 years I’ve been using them.

Yeah. Which one did you go with?!
