Heh, well yes i’m sure they would have rather I didn’t hang on to my last one for 10 years; in fact its still going too - like i’d done with the last two macbooks i’d owned it went as a hand me down to my father who just uses it for email & web browsing. I’m hoping the Air will be around a similar amount of time - it will probably come down to battery & flash degradation over time I suspect.
Ah well that was just me replacing my personal laptop, so the 10 year old machine had been outperforming my 3 different work laptops (typically Lenovo, running Windows, refreshed every couple of years) all the way up until I got the Air.
Yeah me too; I bought it to replace a 2013 MBP. Its so light, the battery life is rediculous, and its far gruntier than I need for the work I do which is mostly in a shell / nvim etc anyway.
I’m still running an iPhone 8; my partner’s broke so she upgraded to the 13 mini about 6 months ago, and now I have regrets that I didn’t as well.
Heh, mine’s not so different, multiple subnets - plus Wireguard :)
I don’t exactly know why but in the end it was definitely a inter-vlan connectivity problem I kept hitting. The pain was trying to prove it out as the official Nginx Proxy Manager container for unraid didn’t include anything like ping / traceroute etc.
I had a similar problem - the auto-renew didn’t work.
My setup had nginx proxy manager running on an unRaid box using macvlan network, and connected to unifi switching. What the problem was for me was the NPM box wasn’t able to get external network connectivity so like you I ended up reinstalling it all over again.
Problem kept happening, so in the end I just ditched it all & went CaddyV2 and (touch wood) so far no problems.
I self-host a bunch of stuff and don’t bother paying for a static IP.
I just have a cron job running that checks my IP and then uses API calls to update my DNS settings. I’ve got the DNS setup with Zonomi which are a local company, it costs maybe a couple dollars a month & i’ve got 8-10 domains running at any one time.
Ditto, switched to Inoreader when Google Reader closed and have never changed so it must be doing something right.
Windows PCs.
I’m not going to pretend that more RAM isn’t just automagically better, because it is. But 8GB RAM on a 2020 Lenovo Windows build feels and performs much worse than 8GB in a 2020 M1 Macbook Air.
8GB was so unusable in my work* (IT Pro for large corporate) laptop that they eventually agreed that we were “power users” and so could have an upgrade to 16GB RAM. But it still feels a bunch worse than my M1 due to all the additional sludge that gets lumped on top for corp reasons.
*Just to describe what I do, I have browsers open, MS Teams and then spend my day in SSH sessions to linux based servers, so realistically there was nothing “power” user about what I was doing, it was just that our corp Windows build & laptops are that awful. And now we’ve been 11’d, ugh.
