How To Install ZeroTier on TrueNAS 12

February 3, 2022 By Stephen Leave a Comment

ZeroTier is an incredibly useful tool to enable true access from anywhere to any networked resource. I've been using it for a few months to access my Home Assistant instances, VNC to my home Mac, and log in to my servers even as I'm traveling and using odd networks like airplane and hotel Wi-Fi and LTE on my iPhone.

The 2018 iPad Pro is a Beast!

November 9, 2018 By Stephen Leave a Comment

Amazing Progress from Apple When the first iPad Pro came out in 2015, I was astonished to see that Apple's in-house A9X CPU had passed the Intel Core 2 Duo CPUs in my old Mac Mini and 2007 MacBook … [Read more...] about The 2018 iPad Pro is a Beast!

How To Remove Raw Images From Apple Photos and iCloud

July 24, 2017 By Stephen 6 Comments
