  • Yeah, I’ve got something like this. My WiFi router has aliased over my public domain name. So, it, having the authority in my network, tells people to go directly to the local address.

    If I leave, a refresh grabs the IP from a public/corporate DNS server, pointing to our external IP.

    It works nicely, even though home assistant now has a ‘private’ and ‘public’ domain name that I could be using instead. Still, one name. Easier on the brain.





  • I do say that with certainty. And I didn’t claim that proof of stake has no environmental impact - it just doesn’t have more impact than, for example, a web server.

    If I start a carbon-neutral wing of an oil company, of course it doesn’t make an oil company carbon-neutral. However, that doesn’t impact the real value of other companies that actually are carbon neutral.

    Similarly, Ethereum is, by far, not a “green” tech, and their usage of proof of stake can easily and reasonably be called greenwashing if they don’t also severely limit the usage of POW.

    Proof of Stake, though, is not a power-hungry tech, period. And it is a means for crypto to become, overall, a nominal energy user. There are other chains out there (cardano, algorand, nano, and many others) that don’t use PoW and that use reasonable amounts of energy.

    I appreciate your passion for the environment. But misrepresentation does not help your case, though misrepresentation may help those your fight.




  • Think of it like this:

    • there’s a syncthing share
    • you connect any devices you want to that share
    • each device uses a local folder to act as that share
    • the devices need to know each other

    Then, syncthing sorts it all out. You can move a file into the share on phone1, and it’ll show up on phone2. Move it out of that share on phone2, and it disappears from phone1. Same deal for any other device connected to that share.

    You can make this all simpler by using the same name for the share and on all folders:

    • A share named Kim-n-Max
    • A folder named /storage/emulated/0/shares/Kim-n-Max on Max’s phone
    • A folder named /storage/Kim-n-Max on Kim’s phone
    • A folder named c:\Users\Max\Kim-n-Max on Max’s computer

    …all is pretty clear then.
