I was entirely confused for a moment- I think you might be getting an echocardiogram, rather than an electrocardiogram. If you could hear an electrocardiogram, there would be something seriously wrong with their machine- It’s meant to be a passive electrical measurement. Echo on the other hand is exactly what you described, an ultrasound of the heart.

I was actually thinking you might have a strong interoception, which is when people have an awareness of their own heartbeat signals- super rare but super cool.

In my world, very much not software development, the two roles would essentially be the same thing. What’s the difference for you?

Telstra in Australia were at one stage providing routers to homes with a hidden SSID for their premium ‘public’ wifi.

I think it was solidly isolated from the home wifi, and did not eat into the homes speed quota, but still…

The location of light switches relative to the light.

Precisely- it’s a concept that is ingrained in people to the point where anyone who doesn’t understand it is viewed as lacking. However, it’s needless.

I don’t need to understand IP addressing subnet routing to go to a website. Why should I need to understand a file and folder structure to find an old tax document?

You use an interesting example- personally, I feel like while files and folders have their place, I prefer they be part of the background and not presented to the user. Take photos, for example. If I’m looking for pictures of my dog, I don’t want to go into the 2022 folder, then the August folder, then look through all those files, back out into 2022 then go into the September folder, etc. I just want to type ‘dog’. Or pick from a dropdown list of common tags, or anything other than digging through files and folders.

Don’t even need an Opal card- just tap your phone or your bank card.

The network is also massive. You can tap on in Kiama and tap off in Scone. That’s about 400km, roughly equivalent to Berlin to Frankfurt, on regular metro trains. Might take a while, but you can do it.

Am I in the minority, thinking that the London Underground is actually pretty amazing? Wherever I was across the huge area the city takes up, I rarely needed to check a timetable- There would be a station within walking distance, I could be relatively confident that a train would turn up within fifteen minutes and get me to basically anywhere in London in fairly short order.

I only get sweaty balls in winter.

In summer I wear breezy shorts and loose undergarments. In winter, not so much, but I do the same sort of exercise, if not more.

Any suggestions for cool balls when doing winter sports?

Give me 2, but less mirrors- I’ve spent enough time in hotel lobbies, thank you. But if it were more theatre lobby than hotel lobby, I’m all for it.

It’s no longer accessible from a desktop, only from the Google Maps app.

Agreed, but your point will usually be a lot better received if you aren’t a dick. SpaceX is a great example- it’s a great company, but the head of the company taints the whole thing they are trying to achieve.

It comes down to respect. Even if I’m wrong, treating me with respect will mean I’m more likely to respect you, and if I respect you I’m going to respect your argument.

You’re absolutely right, you absolute fuckwad, and well said, even if you are a shit eating waste of a human.

(Sorry I don’t mean it, I feel bad now…)

You’ve got good points, but your needless insults makes your argument fall on deaf ears.

Yeah- Square and level are two different things. I can get a cube and rotate it any way, opposite faces will still be square to each other (technically parallel) despite not being level.

Interestingly, two perfectly vertical walls cannot be square to each other.

Ok I’ll take this as my opportunity to rant about a pet peeve.

Wearing a harness in this style of elevating work platform is more dangerous than not wearing one, and having a requirement to do so is part of what’s wrong with work health and safety.

The only way someone falls out of this, beyond mechanical failure or tipping, is if they lean so far over the railing they fall out of it.

If I need to wear a harness in this, you need to wear one whenever you walk next to a balcony.

The router is set as a subnet router, that is how I am able to access other machines on my lan remotely.

I don’t want to, and sometimes can’t, install tailscale on every device I want remote access to.

So I may have duplicate routes- Does that explain the behaviour in my original post? And how would I go about avoiding that?

I could turn off subnet routing, and only turn it on when needed, but I’ll be putting up a bunch of other services that will want to talk to each other- I’m assuming this will break whenever I turn subnet routing on.

I kind of follow what you’re putting down.

I am not using an exit node. How do I go about splitting my routes?

What I want to achieve is ‘normal’ access for within the lan, as well as remote access over tailscale for things I cannot run tailscale on.

I have a commercial VPN, but I am not connected. What tinkering did you have to do?

I set up subnet advertisements by doing tailscale set --advertise-routes=192.168.1.0/24. I did not touch ACL.

The home PC is Windows, the context menu for the tray app give the option to ‘use tailscale subnets’ which is enabled- I assume this is the equivalent of accepting advertised routes.

From the home PC, tailscale ping 192.168.1.2 returns a pong, from the tailscale IP. tracert fails.
