- Comment on British soldiers tune radio waves to fry drone swarms for pennies 1 week ago:
The project supports more than 135 highly skilled jobs across the UK
Is that 135 individual positions, or just some mumbo jumbo job titles they’re making up?
The UK police can’t determine what is a legal 249gm drone or not as seen many times over with the auditors, so how on earth is this thing gonna work is beyond me?
Just trash the airwaves I guess.
- Comment on A French law requiring adult sites to run age checks( facial age estimation, ...etc) and block users under 18 became applicable to sites based in France and outside of the EU. 1 week ago:
The law also makes it mandatory to use a third-party age assurance provider “that is legally and technically independent of any online platform hosting or providing porn content.”
Meanwhile, over on Googles I can find images of blowjobs and corner shop magazines available for viewing. Strange how they want to invade everyone’s privacy in the name of some “online porn”.
- Comment on ‘I’m super worried’: fewer UK tourists visiting US amid Trump’s policies and rhetoric 1 week ago:
This kid-friendly something where rules are more strictly enforced and moderation could end up with the kid’s school being told about the kid saying the N word or whatever
I remember entering an incorrect domain/regex to an Automod config once. Thankfully because I checked the logs often it only happened for a short while, and people didn’t get too mad.
But then you have really incompetent operators like those censors over in Italy and Spain with PiracyShield™ etc
I mean - 30mins for them to block Google Drive nationwide is something I think no-one wants, without some level of accountability, but when you’ve got dickheads like me that can regex out Nigella Lawson Pr0n accidentally, is scary.
- Comment on Discussion: Samsung kills the MicroSD card slot for their latest Midrange/Budget A-Series phones. What do you think about the future of MicroSD Card Slots? Will other manufacturers all follow suit? 2 weeks ago:
My backup phone / last daily driver had one, and I did use a SD card in it simply for another place to backup my DCIM folder as part of my 3.2.1 backup, but I did always wonder why I bothered because if I did lose the phone the SD card goes with it, making it pretty moot.
Still, I am of the notion that there’s never enough backups.
- Comment on Discussion: Samsung kills the MicroSD card slot for their latest Midrange/Budget A-Series phones. What do you think about the future of MicroSD Card Slots? Will other manufacturers all follow suit? 2 weeks ago:
Because I generally travel within the UK, it’s rare for me not to have an internet connection so to be honest I’ve not really cared for a SD card for a fair while now. I understand in places like the US / Aussieland they’re a godsend to some but I’m fairly ambivalent on the subject now.
And having a ridiculous amount of storage on tap from a couple of NAS’s accessible via Tailscale, and my last three phones having between 256GB-512GB internal storage SD cards are pretty much relegated to other devices like my drone/GoPro etc.
Don’t get me wrong, I think it’s stupid doing away with it and other things like IR blasters / headphone jacks and, more irritating to me? Notification LED’s. My Nexus One had one, my Mi A1 and Cubot had one but I can never understand why they ain’t a standard thing across the board.
- Comment on Anyone have any luck with Gl Inet Luci Openrouter VLANs? 2 weeks ago:
I bought two AXT1800’s for down at a family members house (main router + other on a Powerline in AP mode) and they have no complaints.
While I can’t speak for having to reboot them often since a few months ago I told them to schedule a reboot through the night, weekly, and I find them one of the cleanest router interfaces especially on mobile.
The timezone is different to your browser is my main qualm with them which I can’t seem to solve :/
- Comment on Encrypting data on local servers? 2 weeks ago:
That would be neat.
Like someone else said in here maybe the OP could use a really long cable to a USB drive away from the main server, but I do like the idea of something using hybrid wire(less) to auth.
They could even have a UPS underneath a Pi Zero and, have a PoE HAT too + travel router. Plug in LTE USB with backup SIM card, epoxy all that together and then hide it?
lol, paranoia fixed.
- Comment on Encrypting data on local servers? 2 weeks ago:
I like this, and I suppose it’s a shame a Rasp Pi can’t be WOL’ed.
But could another SFF single use/secured device on the same network that doesn’t have FDE, also provide that key only if and when you wake it up (manually decrypt the file after ssh’ing into it too?) instead of having a USB drive directly plugged into the main server so, if a nefarious person does have away with the main bounty they’re fugged without said second hidden device on the same network?
- Comment on Moving from Cloudflare tunnels for media streaming, first plan didn't work out due to double NAT 3 weeks ago:
I haven’t seen no one mention it yet but you could simply buy a Rasp Pi and use it as a subnet router for your Tailnet.
It’s how I set up a family members Jellyfin/NAS/etc which I can access all their devices by local IP address, and you could do for your Roku too?
- Comment on LunaSea is no longer being published and all related cloud services (including notifications) will be shut down in the near future 3 weeks ago:
Fo’ shame, I kinda liked it but the writing was on the wall when they promised a V2 and things stalled, which, I suspect is because of things like Jellyseerr working on mobile not only just as well as Lunasea but, better?
I had the problem of someone who’s usually not too bad at setting things up remotely telling them to go to a locally hosted Jellyseerr page, instead of them inputting API keys into Lunasea was night and day. :/
- Comment on How to secure Jellyfin hosted over the internet? 3 weeks ago:
Huh. The nearest I have to an actual “AOSP” device is my King Kong Cubot phone that has probably the cleanest version of “stock Android” I’ve ever seen, and I’m going to presume you mean like a Google Pixel / Graphene etc?
Tailscale and the QS tile / notification was solid on that Cubot but to be honest, I’ve barely turned it on these days and is now one of those drawer phones.
Miui / HyperHyperOS though is a different kettle of fish and exempting Tailscale from its App lel Killer does seem to work. 70-80%ish…
But there is something that just fuggs up and I to like I say turn it off/on like most thingys I own 🙈
- Comment on How to secure Jellyfin hosted over the internet? 3 weeks ago:
What device/ROM are you using?
It’s been very iffy for me on and off from Miui > HyperHyperOS, but just checking now?
Works fine
Like I say, the foreground notification seemed to be the lifeline to some of us using it and keeping it alive, even after IIRC some more restrictions came in with future versions of Android (forgive me, I’m very lazy these days and just skim Mishaal’s TG feed 😇)?
- Comment on How to secure Jellyfin hosted over the internet? 3 weeks ago:
It loses its foreground notification I’ve found that kills it for me even thou the Quick Toggle and the app itself, shows as running
If I disconnect/reconnect the notification comes back, and I’ve found something even more weird on my device (A Xiaomi with its infamous OOM / background app killer…) is Tailscale still actually works fine most of the time without the foreground notification. I’m hazarding a 70% of the time for me?
A lot of us a while back found v1.5.2 fugged around with the persistent notification going RIP
- Comment on Ninja sword owners will be paid to surrender weapons before ban 3 weeks ago:
Depends if it’s rainwater or, salty tears. pH can go either way then.
- Comment on Ninja sword owners will be paid to surrender weapons before ban 3 weeks ago:
Because it’s a weapon.
So is a water pistol. Depends if I change the pH of the water?

So does mean samurai swords too, those decorative ones I have on a three tier mount like these?
Googled what a tanto end is and I’m unsure if it applies to them. Help?
- Comment on Interesting SSH Authentication Mechanism 3 weeks ago:
Mine’s having the lazy arse syndrome of using it to sign in to Tailscale and having other friends/family using their SSO from the Big G to simplify them signing into my Tailnet.
Guilty as charged?
- Comment on Musk 'Pressured' Reddit CEO to Silence DOGE Critics, Leaving Moderators Outraged: Report. 3 weeks ago:
I used to help out in r/Botdefense
The amount of them was ridiculous and only because the makers made another bot to report them to use (with stats), could we even keep up. That was before greddy piggy spez shut down API access and now? Ewww

Pray tell, how do you “pirate” a SSO service as you alluded to above?
No one asked for alternatives. We’re more interested in how you’re gonna “pirate” these things. Cheers!
- Comment on How to Avoid US-Based Digital Services—and Why You Might Want To 4 weeks ago:
Exactly, you tell me since I’m just giving you examples of US hosted services as you asked for.
Personally you could self host all three, but it would be a fairly expensive endeavour and you’d be operating on a brand new platform with no users.

If so, that’s why because 3 has never had a 2G network at all ;)
- Comment on ‘The tyranny of apps’: those without smartphones are unfairly penalised, say campaigners 1 month ago:
Like I say over in the comments on that post I had to literally switch bank accounts because of (ineptitude|poor pay) of the customer service agents not being able to reset my password outside of using their “app” on an Android phone.
Curious if others have had similar issues.

- Comment on ‘The tyranny of apps’: those without smartphones are unfairly penalised, say campaigners 1 month ago:
I literally had to switch bank accounts because I couldn’t reset my password “on the web” and required me to use Virgin Money’s app.
Customer service agent(s) on the phone after prolonged discussions why their app wouldn’t work on three Android phones right in front of me surfaced, and I shit you not
Well sir, I have my iPhone here and can login just fine maybe you should buy one of those instead
That day I found out about this
- Comment on I put my heart and soul into this AI but nobody cares 1 month ago:
I’ve too noticed the very same thing even over in the piracy community where they’re complaining about the use of AI art for banner / post images.
It’s kinda one of those irrational hates when like you guys say it’s an insta downvote for the content.
So yeah, upvoted (after reading the fucking
articlecontent)
