Yes, lots of people do this. Good idea to remove the battery if possible, or you’ll have a spicy balloon eventually.
-
VPN (or cloudflare tunnel) is not a bad idea, but its not essential either, my server is publically exposed, and it largely isnt a problem. I only expose port 443 and some specific random high ports though. I wouldnt expose 22 to the internet.
-
Keep SSH, just dont expose to the internet, its always nice to have multiple ways into a box, incase one is hung or something.

- Comment on The invention of smartphones probably made the idea of international travel less intimidating since you now have a pocket translator tool and can find your way in a foreign place with GPS navigation. 1 day ago:
Wikipedia has google translate (2006) pre-dating android (2008) by 2 years. Iphone was 2007. It has improved significantly since, but it was pretty good even then. Adequate enough to communicate with foreign language speakers. I used to use it to email a japanese penpal, and while it may not have been perfect, it was understandable even then.

- Comment on What is the moral jurisdiction behind not wishing who're rich and in executive positions to die? 4 days ago:
To address the edit, I think part of the US’s problem is that you are already on the slope, and have been for a while. Violence has been normalised and accepted (and legalised as you’ve pointed out). I’d like to beleive you can reverse course, but it certainly doesnt seem likely.
I dont have any answers for you or op, but if it were me, I would focus on the defence and protection of my family/community first, rather than searching for retribution. I know that sounds hollow and empty though.

I can definitely place people above the line so to speak, but I dont think I could draw an objective one-size-fits-all line.
Humanity is a continuous spectrum from people living in extreme poverty up to the one percent, and its very hard to find any clean delinineation that I would be comfortable drawing the line through.
And the other problem is that the definition of that line would vary wildly from person to person.
If I’m honest with myself, I live in a well off first world country, that in of itself means that I am indirectly responsible for a non-zero amount human suffering in other parts of the world. It doesnt necessarily make me black and white evil, but to someone in one of those parts of the world, they definitely might see it that way.
I’m happy with death as a penalty for certain acts of evil, but I would want it to be the exception, not the rule. Everytime someone is death-row’d, we should all be unanimously sure that its the right thing to do.
- Comment on Here is a more polished release of nanogram. Fully compatible on raspberry pi now. 4 days ago:
Yes. Separate out each part out. You are currently publishing the equivalent of of a compiled binary. If you split it up, and use a script to “compile” it back into the mega shell script.
It means that changes to each file can tracked (and audited) individually, you can conditionally compile bits in or out, and most usefully, you can write tests for the individual components.

Sorry, but a photo of a directory structure is not a source tree.
Your git repo consists of 4 files, a readme, a licence, and two packed shell scripts.
If you have an actual published source repo, link people to it.

I dont understand why people do this
Charitably: AI turbocharged dunning-kruger
Less charitable: Malware delivery.
There is no good reason why they couldn’t have a normal source tree, that they pack into a single shell script in CI.

You used so many subjective terms in that description. You can draw the line at a number, that is objective (but see tax evasion for how that works in practice), but “heavy worker exploitation” is entirely subjective.
In my mind, most failing hospitality businesses fall into “heavy worker exploitation”, but many of them are owner by people who arent billionaires.
- Comment on What is the moral jurisdiction behind not wishing who're rich and in executive positions to die? 5 days ago:
Lol, that is definitely not true. You may have a list, it almost certainly doesn’t match everyone else’s list.
And let’s say we complete your list. What then? If things dont improve, do we lower the bar and try again?
- Comment on What is the moral jurisdiction behind not wishing who're rich and in executive positions to die? 5 days ago:
Death sentences are a slippery slope. Today its okay to kill the rich, tomorrow its protests that block roads, or LGBT people.
Even if we still to a hard line of “only the ultra rich”, how rich is ultra rich? $1B networth? Sure. $10m net worth? Maybe. Anyone who earns more than you?

I bet you choose to be attracted to pans. Sinner.

- Comment on What are your opinions of using Pi-hole for DNS within a homelab environment? 1 week ago:
I dont think so, because everything else remains up and working. But it certainly could be.
- Comment on What are your opinions of using Pi-hole for DNS within a homelab environment? 1 week ago:
I mostly like it, but over the last few months I’ve had my pihole die randomly during the day, which killed my home network, and I had to walk my partner through rebooting everything.
I’ve now got redundant pihole instances, but I’d really like to know what is going wrong with pihole. Its impossible to replicate, and very sporadic.
- Comment on Unifi Anonymous...? 1 week ago:
Went through the local PC shop, so not too bad, but still frustrating.
- Comment on Unifi Anonymous...? 1 week ago:
I’ve seen a few posts on reddit while trying to solve it, but no idea how widespread the issue is. There certainly isnt a solution that I’ve found yet.
Other than this issue, I agree, protect is quite good, but there isnt much point having nice 4k cameras if they dont work correctly…
- Comment on Unifi Anonymous...? 1 week ago:
Get ready to see lots of this in your future:
No explanation, the connection is fine, the cloudkey is fine, the camera is fine, it just randomly decides to drop quality permanently.
- Comment on How do you healthcheck your containers? 1 week ago:
I rely on the developers putting in a health check, but few do.
I’ve also got uptime kuma setup, which is kinda like an external healthcheck.
- Comment on How do you healthcheck your containers? 1 week ago:
This isnt really the same as a health check. PS just checks that the process is up and running, but it could be lagging or deadlocked, or the socket closed.
A proper healthcheck checks if the application is actually healthy and behaving correctly.
- Comment on [deleted] 1 week ago:
Thats true of all datacenters though, not just AI. 1RU fans are just crazy noisy.
- Comment on EU's Top Court Just Made It Impossible to Run a User-Generated Platform Legally 2 weeks ago:
1 is impossible. You cannot screen every message sent, even screening every post would be a full time 24/7 job (3x full time moderators working in shifts).
The big platforms will run it through a blackbox content moderator system, and lobby to keep fines minimal. Lemmy would be screwed.
- Comment on Usually, silicone nippled showerheads aren't replaced or cleaned regularly. 2 weeks ago:
Those are rookie numbers, mine are definitely yellowing and cracking.
- Comment on NSW Pulls Plug On Pokies Operating During 'High Risk' Hours 2 weeks ago:
Are the venues lively though? My only real experience with pokies was a cruise ship casino, and it was so depressing. Just a bunch of bored looking people mindlessly hitting the button.
No amount of raffles and free food makes that sound like a place to be
- Comment on Options for remote Wake-on-lan. Or I guess wake on WAN. 2 weeks ago:
If timers on the bios aren’t an option, look for the settings to power on after power outage. If you turn it on, you can use a standard timer plug to turn the power on and off.
- Comment on Anubis is awesome and I want to talk aout it 2 weeks ago:
Definitely, which is why i suggested hosting the image + js on a CDN. Keeps brand awareness, and lets the CDN take the brunt of any malicious activity. with a bit of code-golfing, the data served by Anubis directly prior to POW could be a few hundred bytes, without impacting its functionality.

Kicking off? It started years ago.

Awesome, now do the other 18 hours.
- Comment on SIM binding in India: What it means for WhatsApp, Telegram users and why the government wants it 3 weeks ago:
If you hold the number it can’t get recycled into distribution. Signal does fall back to MFA codes over SMS from memory (I’ve recovered the signal account for my grandma, as I own the number), so anyone who controls the number controls the account.
- Comment on It's weird looking back at life, and seeing all the paths I didn't go down 3 weeks ago:
I get that, I’m where I’m at by chance, and I wouldnt want to try a different path either. I did go down the robotics/compsci path, but didn’t end up in either of those fields, so you never know how things will end up.
- Comment on SIM binding in India: What it means for WhatsApp, Telegram users and why the government wants it 3 weeks ago:
I’m more thinking along the lines of getting a cheap sim, signing up for signal and them letting the plan lapse and the number is released for use again. And then someone buys a new plan, but gets the recycled number. Not sure how realistic that is as a risk vector though.
