“Linux is so easy just install it”

Linux is not easy. macOS is easy. Windows is easy. Linux is a jalopy that you enjoy fixing an occasionally get working.

What device is it? It’s unusual for Ethernet to not work .

Cogent has a dual BIFF going on right now that’s affecting the SW US and Hawaii

All starlink residential service is behind cgnat. They have IPv6 but it’s not well documented.

Cloudfare tunnels with Synology are well documented.

Another option is to use a proxy service like cloudfare. You end up with internet speed when accessing internal resources though, even if your client is internal.

The easy way is to use a calendar client and not try to inject the calendar into your server.

You’re worth $200k in that HCOL area.

I thought ramjet was combustion. In space, you just need inertia?

Why not scoop up junk and expel it behind you at a greater velocity, using whatever energy source you have.

Give them Linux or install win11 home unlicensed and let them deal with it.

If it’s a Dell OEM machine then there’s a license built into the bios.

Giving someone Win10 ltsc is asking for trouble.

Delete and reinstall your nic. Check your firewall. Test connectivity over port 53 to your dns server.

If you have any 3rd party software that messes with dns, disable or remove it.

Keep in mind windows users don’t install their os from scratch. The OEM will include those in their deployment.

I’m not surprised that laptop had issues. It’s purpose built and likely has sub 1% usage across the windows install worldwide.

Finally the distro I’ve been waiting for

I use tenable but i get it from work for free. You could use Nessus.

I run a weekly vuln scan against my ip ranges. If anything comes up I deal with it.

Advertise/present the services to the internet, or merge the networks or devices together using a service like Tailscale.

These posting patterns are pretty easy to spot, I wonder why protections haven’t been built yet. It’s only going to get worse.

It depends. Some have CPUs with iGPU. If you enable hardware support it’s fine for about two streams. Also, transcoding isn’t needed a whole lot. Most devices support native formats.
