  • Der Vorfall bestätigt wieder die Vorurteile, die man über die FDP hat:

    Aus der Kommission heißt es, […] es sei vielmehr ein erwartbares Manöver der FDP, sich vor den Landtagswahlen in Sachsen, Brandenburg und Thüringen als Vertreter der Dieselfahrer zu positionieren und Vorurteile gegen die EU zu befördern.

    Und am Ende des Artikels:

    Betroffen sind dann nicht Millionen Autofahrer, sondern die Autokonzerne, die womöglich viele Millionen Euro zahlen müssten. Doch das würde diejenigen treffen, die die Verursacher des Dieselskandals sind, nämlich die Hersteller.

    Also kurz vor Wahlen spielt man sich zum Retter der Dieselfahrer auf (die gar nicht bedroht sind), mit der eigentlichen Absicht, die reichen Autokonzerne zu schützen, die bei Abgastests in der Vergangenheit belogen und betrogen haben. Nebenher zerstört man als Kollateralschaden das Vertrauen in die EU, was ja letztendlich Wasser auf die Mühlen rechter Parteien ist. Wer wählt denn eigenlich noch FDP?






  • Maybe the first question is what your budget is, both regarding money and time. For example, you could buy a pre-configured NAS from Synology or QNAP, which requires less technical skills but more money, or a home-made solution reusing used components (but fresh disks for reliability). Depending on your electricity costs, you may want to choose a low-power solution or something which you power off when not used. For storage, maybe a three-disk RAID5 is a good compromise. For backups, plain S3 cloud storage encrypted via restic is a good idea.











  • There is some information missing in the problem description. For example, if you close the lid, does the computer suspend/sleep/hibernate? It may be that when the computer sleeps something “breaks” or it may be that the act of physically closing/opening the lid has an effect (e.g. because the WiFi antenna is embedded in the display frame).

    Some time ago I had a similar problem with Tailscale and sleeping. When Tailscale initializes itself (at boot), it has to interact with another service to communicate which DNS servers have become available (e.g. 100.100.100.100). Several implementations of such services exist (resolvconf, openresolv), in my case systemd-resolved. During normal operation, resolvectl status (if using systemd-resolved) shows which DNS servers and which search domains are configured for each network interface such as tailscale0. Now, there is a bug (or feature) that systemd-resolved “forgets” the DNS configuration it got from Tailscale when the computer is put to sleep. So, when the computer wakes up, name resolution via Tailscale no longer works, giving you the impression that Tailscale itself is not working, although Tailscale’s low-level functions are still operational. My “solution” was to write a small script that gets executed when the computer wakes up which sets again DNS server and search domain for network device tailscale0.
