Pretty annoying because (don’t forget) people in europe are still getting security patches for win10 btw. On each security patch they are specifically ticking “NOT US OR ANYWHERE ELSE” but instead “only eu”.

buddy who has to support Mint installs for work
The “work” part is probably why you have such a bad view of Mint. It could be any OS, but at work there would be a horror story every day (because theres a lot of people, most cant use computers, etc).
The ease of use and not having it break randomly is why you don’t use Arch for normal people who just need to get stuff done.

Think about if you care having all your “eggs” in one basket if you use bitwarden for your passwords too, but if you also store recovery codes in bitwarden then realize that the difference doesnt matter.

I have bad eye sight, but also 8k probably never need to be a thing on a tv, more impressive for stuff thats closer to our eyes like VR headsets probably.

If you can afford it
It’s cheaper, no? You just go on ebay or any other used marketplace.
I know it’s a slightly higher initial cost (depending on the phone), but phones last years, you’ll be saving way more over those years.

I think they are saying “look at star citizen as the alternative” meaning never finished, but by comparison No Man’s Sky is complete?

I have no thoughts, but Matrix isn’t only text based.
You should of course try different clients first to see if it’s viable, I don’t know if it’s gotten good yet.
Voice chat should work quite well now though, I think.

That’s true, reading your comment reminded me of SUBURBIA!!! Definitely not easy to fix that.
Certainly a good place to start with better zoning as you say.
- Comment on Instead of everyone leaving NATO, could everyone else just kick the US out? 3 weeks ago:
The UK and France have more than 500 nukes.
The US doesn’t “have the keys” to UK nukes (ie the UK doesn’t keep US approval to fire them), but they are maintained and built by the US (I’m sure if they had to, they could figure it out themselves).
And let’s be real, you don’t need thousands of nukes when a handful (when carefully stored and separated like the UK does in submarines for their active ones) could destroy so much of the planet.
Will a country with 1000 nukes invade a country that has “only” 5?
- Comment on China’s ‘artificial sun’ breaks nuclear fusion limit thought to be impossible 3 weeks ago:
Luckily major european countries that have well designed streets publish a lot of their found research, it just has to start being adopted in the more car-centric places.
The US as an example is pretty far gone, but if the major cities went fully in the correct direction, it probably would only take a few decades to look completely different (amsterdam is decent proof of this).

Assuming you mean commericial grade hauler trucks and such, I absolutely agree with all your points.
Oh yes, I mean commercial hauler trucks, etc. The ones that do their job well of course. Of course theres other types of trucks for maintenece, last mile deliveries, etc.
(Side note, europe has nice delivery vans)
Definitely not the things the average american has started calling a “truck”, which has 5mpg and is used solely for one person to go to and from an office job, etc, never hauling anything.
And plus 1 for bikes, idk about motorbikes though, sadly they seem like death traps because of how fast you can go, one mistake by you or someone else on the road and you could see black.

Seems obvious to pick a new transit paradigm for personal cars, obviously trucks can stay.
Also in the current era, coal plants already have a good replacement: nuclear. At least for bigger countries, but most are shutting down rather than improving. This might be (hopefully) starting to change though in recent times.
Also I don’t know what fusion power is, I shall be on wikipedia now. Good day sir.

Not to mention how apparently 2.5 and 5ghz bands suffer on the Flint 3 just to get Wifi 7.
Hope no one’s buying them (though I imagine a lot of people see 3 > 2 and blindly trust it’s better in all cases).
Flint 3 probably would’ve been better as a different product line. As it currently stands, It seems a bit misleading to attach it to the Flint 2 when so much is different at its core.

- Comment on Do people actually believe those "gurus" on the internet that supposedly "give advice"? These seems very sussy and feel scam-adjacent, isn't it? 4 weeks ago:
People do, but I have a hard time believing them. If you have a secret unlimited money glitch, why would you give it away? Or why would you charge any amount of money for it in a course?
Sometimes it can maybe be a clickbaity title to real advice or an educational video, but anyone peddling advice in a course, etc, should be seen as the snake oil salesmen that they are.
The real advice is always available for free on the internet, just have to find that dude that is so compassionate about the real stuff they give it to you straight up.
- Comment on ublock Origin can get rid of Cookie Banners 4 weeks ago:
It’d be nice if that header was default for all users, unfortunately it can (and has, probably) end up being just another data point for uniquely identifying you.
Probably will never be default since 99% people use Chrome, and we know who owns that…
Extensions seem the only way without making your traffic mote unique.
- Comment on Where are you running your wireguard endpoint? 4 weeks ago:
Maybe easier to setup because routers that support vpns come with nice-ish web uis.
That said, if you have a server (pc, pi, etc), setting up wireguard with wg-easy is mostly painless (comes with a nice web ui), so there is no reason to replace your router in this case!
Instead of replacing a router, I’d prefer buying a pi anyways.
Unless you want to route all outbound traffic through a vpn with zero config on devices, I can’t see why you’d replace a router.
Final note: most people prefer hosting a vpn on a server, even if their router supports it as far as I’m aware at least.

Hehe yep, that’s a good takeaway and the same as what I think.
Thank you too, i enjoyed this discussion.
- Comment on What's the security situation when opening a jellyfin server up for casting? 1 month ago:
No problemo.
Thanks for pointing out the reverse proxy comment. I think I was wrong to say simply putting jellyfin behind a reverse proxy will increase your security.
The benefits may only be minute or non-existent if you don’t use the reverse proxy for handling other stuff like HTTPS (and redirects to https, etc), restricting access or adding extra authentication requirements (mainly https).
It may also be good to note that Jellyfins docs explicitly do not recommend directly exposing jellyfin ports to the internet (a reverse proxy or using a vpn are recommended instead).
Still I will continue to feel safer always using a reverse proxy when I expose to the internet (maybe my misconceptions).
- Comment on What's the security situation when opening a jellyfin server up for casting? 1 month ago:
Your SSH setup is good.
ssh is a very resilient piece of software so I doubt with your setup you would encounter any issues.
Enforcing use of a VPN to get into your network before being able to ssh into a machine is mostly just an extra layer of defense, though using a non-standard port, only allowing key logins and disabling root user login are all layers of defense you have already added.
I thinj you’ll be fine, but if you are worried, you could setup a VPN or alternatively something like Fail2Ban if you notice any brute-force attacks (which may be unlikely with the use of a non-standard port).
What I meant with the Jellyfin question was kind of, how is having it exposed via a reverse proxy different from exposing its port right away? Is it because the only allowed connection would be HTTPS/encrypted etc, maybe?
It’s down to how secure the software is really.
Jellyfins (and other software) don’t use really secure web servers for getting themselves accessible via the network.
Caddy (a reverse proxy, for example) is made to be exposed to the internet and so it is more resilient and safe to use.
So putting the resilient software (a good reverse proxy) infront of Jellyfin (or most other software) simply increases your security by having the more safe web server be the one interfacing with end users.
Have fun on your journey!
- Comment on It will be great, they said... 1 month ago:
Hm, I’m gonna remain skeptical.
Using the random ip you get from mobile data or using dynamic dns feels risky. Maybe that’s because I’m not smart, but the whole trust level is mail thing seems very heuristical and the risk of damaging my domains trust factor doesn’t seem worth it.
I’m not skeptical about having two ip addresses, but rather using ones that I don’t have control over (i don’t have the only right to use).
I might be wrong on the PTR record thing, seems it might be possible with DDNS providers but not 100% sure.
