I just assumed that it might have been designed to been to release the tabs. Guess not. I wonder how they got them on in the first place 🤷

How does that work? Do they do something like what tailscale does to negotiate the connection? Can you point me to any doco for how that works?

I dont know that that is true. With cloudflare tunnels, their server.x.y.z will resolve to a cloudlfare IP address, which then tunnels it to their server? The traffic has to hit the cloudflare server, it can’t short circuit that connection? Am I missing something?

I would assume yes, it goes out to cloudflare and back in. You want to setup an internal DNS server on your network, and resolve your servers address to its local one. That way when your outside your network, you use the tunnel, and inside it goes direct.

Can you get your fingers between the clear plastic and the door and bend it enough to make it unhook?

Just a guess, I dont have one of these fridges.

1. You can’t receive those emails anymore.

2. Someone else can.

Yeah, agreed, it felt like a different show after S3. Still some good episodes in there though.

Thats fair, I just like the show :)

Misfits is a personal favourite show that explores some of those themes.

Thats crazy. Are those public numbers from rivian?

My only point of confusion is that a 20k loss on every car is insane. I’m guessing its a bit of BYD is subsidised somewhat, and everyone else is price gouging somewhat. No idea the ratio.

Also odd that other Chinese brands (really only tried MG) dont seem to have the same high quality, high pricing that suggests the same level of crazy subsidies.

Honestly, there is just so much fuckery going I just have no idea what is what.

But the business model has to change in order to survive. The company cannot undercut forever, it actually needs to change in order to survive. The business model of today is not sustainable. They may have a large warchest, they may be able to crush GM, but once they do, or the warchest runs out, the business model must change.

If you want to make the argument that their overall plan with the later change is sustainable, thats fine, but this current phase is not sustainable.

Sustainable implies that they can keep doing it forever without changing. Switching later means what they are doing is not sustainable. It might be successful, but its not sustainable.

I think your muddying sustainable and successful. It definitely can be successful, but its not sustainable.

Its also high risk, especially if you can’t crank up the prices enough later

I am pretty sure there is some financial fuckery going on with BYD. My parents own two, and they are very nice, but way under priced compared to every other EV manufacturer.

Can’t prove anything of course, but there is something odd going on when everyone else is 20-30k more expensive.

Hard to feel sorry for GM though, they suckled at our governments (Australia) teet for decades before giving up and leaving entirely. At least if BYD is being propped up we are at least getting good cheap cars from it.

“Bring them back, no questions asked.”

Queensland Police are investigating and have appealed for public assistance.

That second statement completely guarantees the first won’t happen.

Right, thats fair, I guess VPN is a red herring then, if the service is available over the internet directly.

I think I am out of ideas sadly, beyond it being some kind of weird ISP fuckery :/

Maybe do a traceroute between your mate and your server and vice-versa (without VPN), just to make sure your packets aren’t getting sent somewhere odd. Some time ago I had a friend who was physically 5km away, have his packets routed 2000km away, which kinda impacted throughput.

Are you sure? That sounds exactly like what tailscale and headscale are good for, letting your friends have near direct access to a server within your network. (Headscale is self-hosted tailscale, bypasses account limits, but is otherwise the same thing).

You setup your server as an endpoint on your tailscale network, and then give all your friends tailscale accounts to setup their devices on the same network. They’ll be able to talk directly to your server over a wireguard tunnel. (Caveat: cgnat can break tailscales tunnelling and cause your traffic to get relayed, which is slow. Headscale let’s you run the relay which will be faster, but it still sucks as bit).

You probably did explain it correctly, Im not the best reader :).

You could try tailscale for a direct VPN to your server, see if that bypasses the free tier vpn issues? Tailscale will route your traffic directly between your two points, instead of via a server, so it might save some routing overhead? Its also free if that helps.

So, not a VPN to the homelab (tailscale/wireguard/etc)?

Google/reddit suggests windscribe can be pretty slow, and proton VPN free tier is slow. Are you getting good results through them to regular speedtest?
