Also using a subdomain like ad.mydomain.com makes using Remote Desktop Services a lot less problematic if you want to use in the future as well.

Hahaha, yeah use edge..not chrome even though our browser is based on Chromium.

Google Chrome != Chromium

Chrome = using Chromium engine.
Edge = Using Chromium engine.

The Chromium codebase is widely used. Microsoft Edge, Samsung Internet, Opera, and many other browsers are based on the code. Moreover, significant portions of the code are used by several app frameworks.

Just a heads up on this. If you select their Ampere Arm processor you can have 4CPU with 24gb ram for free as well. VM has boot of 50GB but you can addon block storage for free up to 200GB I believe.

Ampere A1 Compute instances (Arm processor): All tenancies get the first 3,000 OCPU hours and 18,000 GB hours per month for free for VM instances using the VM.Standard.A1.Flex shape, which has an Arm processor. For Always Free tenancies, this is equivalent to 4 OCPUs and 24 GB of memory

Yep works well, I'm part of their Discord channel and speak to the developers regularly. They a good bunch and quite supportive. I have donated a couple of times to the project.

An Idea if anyone wants to try for free, I have just set this up as a test on oracle cloud for free using their free arm processors with 4CPU and 24GB ram.

Still very active and now on version 1.4.17. I'm still using this for my hosting and had no problems. Now have Auto updates on and 2FA.

Good old break everything windows updates.

Oracle Cloud are offering 2 VM's for free, with just a card activation. The Instances are free. give it a try: https://www.oracle.com/uk/cloud/free/

https://www.winamp.com/ looks like they are teasing something new.

Just Signed up as Beta tester.

not again....

@marcinozga I'm currently running EdgeOSv2.0.9-hotfix.2

@scottalanmiller Thanks for the suggestion Scott.

@scottalanmiller roughly 50-70mbps on average on most clients round here.

@scottalanmiller What would you recommend as a cost effective solution for 5-10 users. I used to use watchguard on 50-100 users.

I know this depends really on load rather than amount of users. I'm interested in knowing what amount of users people would have on a small network using this firewall for basic office use. I use one at home but am Interested in using this in small networks.

@scottalanmiller Never heard of it to be fair. Just done a google search and does look like a nice product. and you can save to pdf etc. battery life is good as well. Have you personally used one of these?

Jsut realized I have been lacking in taking notes on the items that I do. Used to be really good at writing things down (I don't use onenote perfer good old paper and pen); trying to find notes on something I did back 2 years ago (pre-pandemic) and last notes I have are from 2018. Need to force myself back into teh note habbit, especiall as we're moving to a new model of zero trust/quazi lan less.

I like paper and pen while writing but then find them useless (mostly because I lose them.) So I have to force myself to take notes in Zoho WorkDrive or else, why bother, lol.

I'm the same with paper, although I use Google Keep Notes.
