If your TV OS is old enough there is an API you can use. github.com/ow/samsung-frame-art
- Comment on Good experience with neko remote browser 1 week ago:
This was my first thought.
Next in line is
ssh -D 9999 remotehostwhich opens a socks5 proxy on localhost:9999 that tunnels all connections through the remote host. This is especially rad with proxy.pac …mozilla.org/…/Proxy_Auto-Configuration_PAC_fileAnd next in line is
ssh -L 9999:target_host:80(or whatever) which tunnels 127.0.0.1:9999 to target_host:80. - Comment on Google is going ‘all in’ on AI. It’s part of a troubling trend in big tech 1 week ago:
Rich people at tech companies replace workers with AI, set up a security force that goes after immigrants, surveil the city with a camera network, try to remove the human from the equation, try to upload human consciousness to the cloud, lots of other AI tech dystopian stuff.

I’ve been playing Watch Dogs Legion so I know how this ends.

Oooh yeah, dust off the hotline auto clickers.
- Comment on What's your recommendation for a small NAS? 1 week ago:
Personally I agree. I don’t use the SFF. oP asked for something tiny though.
- Comment on What's your recommendation for a small NAS? 1 week ago:
Lil Nas X totally sounds like it would be a valid answer here.
Get an old optiplex SFF off Craigslist for $200 and be done with it. Those things last so long, and since it’s commodity hardware you can replace individual components that break for not much money.

It makes me miss Fark. Does something like that exist on Lemmy?
- Comment on I'm guilty of not reading the f..ing documentation 2 weeks ago:
I had a boring manufacturing job with long gaps between batches of work, so I read every help file in Windows NT4.1. While reading it, I found a way around our IT limitations on which apps we could run, and learned how to write scripts. So I wrote a password protected launcher tool using a macro feature in a terminal emulator I had access to on my workstation, and then started reading the man pages in Unix sys-V.
- Comment on What are some FOSS programs that are objectively better than their proprietary counterparts? 1 month ago:
This is interesting. I haven’t heard somebody use “Apache” as a reference to httpd in a long time due to the rise of nginx and because Apache.org does so much more than just httpd.
But I agree. Apache httpd 0.x was one of the softwares that first showed me how much better Linux is than Windows. IIS at the time was an insecure confusing monstrosity. I wonder if it still is.
- Comment on The latest viral ChatGPT trend is doing ‘reverse location search’ from photos 1 month ago:
Yeah. How do you think they trained it?
- Comment on Fixing an expired SSL certificate remotely 1 month ago:
I’m not aware of a way for it to notify if the internet is down. An expired certificate would not create that failure scenario though.
- Comment on Fixing an expired SSL certificate remotely 1 month ago:
It has a built in alerting mechanism. Also
Uptime Kuma is integrated Apprise which supports up to 78+ notification services.
- Comment on Fixing an expired SSL certificate remotely 1 month ago:
uptime-kuma will monitor your https availability and automatically check your cert expiration.

All my coworkers. Full volume.
- Comment on How to harden against SSH brute-forcing? 2 months ago:
My experience running several ssh servers on uncommon nonstandard ports for over 10 years has been that it has eliminated all ssh brute forcing. I don’t even bother with fail2ban. I probably should though, just in case.
Also, PSA: if you use fail2ban, don’t try tab completing rsync commands without using
controlmasteror you will lock yourself out. - Comment on Other than a faulty charging port, is there any reason to use a wireless phone charger over wired? 2 months ago:
Can you explain why it’s not possible to stabilize the voltage on the receiving side before the power is sent to the battery?

- Comment on Brazilian court gives Apple 90 days to allow sideloading on iOS 2 months ago:
That’s the fast lane to having every company that values their IP exiting Brazil. Apple would roll their certificates and quit signing whatever Brazil was building with and Brazil’s economy would be way worse off for nothing.

No, it’s authentic.
- Comment on Self-hosting minecraft 2 months ago:
Hosting the server is free. I’m actually not sure about windows because I don’t use that. We actually play on our iPads. We have a family set up. Pay once for the app, everybody gets to install it on their own device.
For free stuff I think people run Java edition? Again, I’ve never done that. There is an itzg Java server container github.com/itzg/docker-minecraft-server

- Comment on I'm Tired of Pretending Tech is Making the World Better 2 months ago:
This era was before smartphones and always-online lifestyle. Being always online is a prerequisite to the attention economy.
So, yes, you’re right that the best internet was back then. Back when we could leave it at home and go out into the world knowing everybody else had also left it at home.
Laptops are an obvious exception back then, but almost nobody took their laptop to the bar with them, or to a concert, or on a hike, or to the grocery store. And the trouble of pulling it out and trying to find WiFi meant that it wasn’t easy enough to distract the majority.
- Comment on Researchers surprised to find less-educated areas adopting AI writing tools faster 2 months ago:
This does not sound good for those people. Writing is a way of thinking. AI is a competitive cognitive artifact. People who use AI to write most of their written communication will get worse at thinking through writing.

- Comment on You should swap your work or gaming monitor for a pair of AR glasses, and I'm not joking 3 months ago:
I’ve really wanted to do this, in large part because of tech neck. I’d love to have a HMD that has focusable optics so I don’t subconsciously strain my neck to look at my screen.
Anybody have recommendations? I’d love a dumb HMD with hdmi or usb-c video input.

Are you suggesting that people who are intermittently connected to the internet instead of tethered to it by a pocket device are somehow more ignorant?
