  • what do you mean by off network? on the wifi of a different home’s network, that has internet access?

    the wireguard client on your laptop is supposed to give the laptop (and the laptop only) access to your home network, and the reverse proxy running on the laptop is supposed to give local devices access to services at home selectively, by listening on port 443 on the local network, and processing requests to services that you defined, by forwarding them through the vpn tunnel.
    this requires that a machine at home runs a wireguard server, and that its port is forwarded in your router








  • Technically it is recording for the preview in OBS, which I think goes on even when OBS is not visible, and I assume involves constant copying and downscaling with whatever FPS, but it shouldn’t be encoding until you hit record. but if you check the CPU usage of OBS, maybe also GPU with nvtop, you can see how much it affects your hardware.

    I would imagine it’s not too bad, but still it would be better if it would let the machine idle as it should.






  • Don’t know why exactly are you downvoted

    It’s very weird. maybe I was a bit too harsh in the beginning, but I don’t think it was nearly this bad.

    For example I bet the insurance companies love to have some driver behaviour data about you, and the big retail likes to know where/what time you are on the move (though they already get it from the dozens of apps on your phone that have access to location data, like Google Maps)

    there are ways to clean it out of a phone, but cars are much more closed down, and if I had to guess they are probably even protected against you cleaning it out software-wise by safety regulations
