  I can proxy for you.

  They don’t charge me tax and only $15 shipping. Then shipping within the EU is 15 euros max

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why don't we have one timezone covering the whole earth?⁩ ⁨⁨8⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I use UTC for all of my logs. Keeps it less confusing.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Second hand disks?⁩ ⁨⁨9⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I have 2 x 20tb mirrored for hot storage

  2 pools x 3 x 20tb in Z1 for warm backup.

  And I have 2 x 14tb for cold storage

  2 x 18tb at a remote location

  All are refurbished drives

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Second hand disks?⁩ ⁨⁨9⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m running 160tb of refurbished Exos right now.

  I throughout the years

  2 x 10tb

  2 x 14tb

  3 x 16tb

  12 x 18tb

  8 x 20tb

  I’ve only had 2 x 16tb fail within 500 hours. All other disks have 7k+ hours and are running fine.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Useful apps to self-host⁩ ⁨⁨11⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I have only a few services. I could probably downscale my server.

  • AdGuard DNS

  • Tailscale and Zerotier

  • Open Media Vault

  • Jellyfin

  • Uptime Kuma

  • Graphana / Prometheus

  • Torrent/seed box

  All on Proxmox and mirrored ZFS 2 x 20TB

  For backups I use FolderSync and the default backup for windows. Super lazy, but I don’t want to be the IT support of the family.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Useful apps to self-host⁩ ⁨⁨11⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  You can use Headscale. The open source version of it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Please recommend your cheaper, reliable SSDs 2TB+ (4TB ideal)⁩ ⁨⁨11⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I use enterprise drives because they’re cheaper and more reliable.

  Got some 4TB enterprise NVMe for 150 each. They only had 3TB written, basically brand new.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨UK's O2 network is blocking duckdns.org domains⁩ ⁨⁨11⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  You can try DoH to see if it is working.

  It’s port 443 so it won’t get redirected by their filters.

  Android uses DoT so maybe that works. Assuming that they don’t block port 853.

  Try the encrypted DNS option to see if they are blocking all DNS providers or just certain ones.

  You can also setup your own encrypted DNS on a VPS if you’re feeling brave.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Never forgetti⁩ ⁨⁨11⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Wait really?

  I’ve only noticed aluminum for drink cans. None of my cans are attracted to a magnet. (Spezi and Fritz-kola)

  Although we’ve been buying bottles more and more.

  The ultralight community would pay $500 just to save 2 oz.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨A bride to be discovers a reality bending mistake in Apple's computational photography⁩ ⁨⁨11⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Raw files from cameras have meta data that tells raw converters the info of which color profile and lenses it’s taken with, but any camera worth using professionally doesn’t have any native corrections on raw files. However, in special cases as with lenses with high distortion, the raw files have a distortion profile on by default.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Commercial Flights Are Experiencing 'Unthinkable' GPS Attacks and Nobody Knows What to Do⁩ ⁨⁨11⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  That’s not how PKI works?

  Unless you know how digital signatures work better than me

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Microsoft’s Windows Hello fingerprint authentication has been bypassed⁩ ⁨⁨11⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Unless bitlocker is enabled by default, which is becoming more and more common

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨WhatsApp is one step closer to adding email address verification⁩ ⁨⁨11⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  DDG proxy here I come

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨If other countries can afford massive internet pysops why can't I find a job in the states where I get to meme and troll all day for the US military?⁩ ⁨⁨11⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Because NIPRNET sucks to do OSINT.

  You don’t want to be in the military for anything PSYOPS.

  You’d be better off as a contractor.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Windows PCs can't sleep properly, and Microsoft wants it that way⁩ ⁨⁨11⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Yes depending on the sleep state. Also some power is going to ram to keep it alive. I think for framework it’s in the realm of 5% an hour or something like that.

  I usually go the hibernation route.

  Desktops I sleep to ram, laptops I hibernate to the SSD.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anyone know of self-hostable security cameras?⁩ ⁨⁨11⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I use unifi for wifi because honestly I like the dashboard.

  But… for anything layer 3, I’m using MikroTik. It’s extremely powerful without actually running your own router, and many are Poe as well. I’m running a RB5009 which is overkill for me.

  I chose RB5009 because it runs DoH, ZeroTier, sub interfaces, it’s rack mountable, passively cooled, poe capable, and can handle up to 2.5gb symmetrical. I just wish they had 2 x SFPs so I can use a full 10gb WAN

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anyone know of self-hostable security cameras?⁩ ⁨⁨11⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Nah, their software is so infuriating to work with. Even when an SSD it falls to load video clips. Often I have to restart unifi protect on the console or even ssh into it to do and apt update/upgrade to get it working again.

  Self hosted might be a little better, but I’m not holding my breath.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨ShadowSOCKs⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  I’ll read up. Thank you.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Best place to buy server hardware⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  No worries. My offer will still stand. I want to help others into this addiction.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Best place to buy server hardware⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Hey, if you would like, I buy from serverpartdeals all the time, I can be a shipping proxy for you since I have access to both US and DE mailing systems.

  Bought 160TB from them about a year ago.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Where to store OTP tokens⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Aegis with the password in a YubiKey.

  My password manager and I don’t know the password.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I finally figured out how to virtualize my OPNsense firewall. Suck it, Roku.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  I do a DNS redirect on my Mikrotik router.

  It’s going to suck when DoH and DoT becomes more prevalent.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What Cloud storage solution do you swear to?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Backblaze

  I also have my 160tb home server for anything not vital.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨HP fails to derail claims that it bricks scanners on multifunction printers when ink runs low⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  All of my printers are on a VLAN with a dead gateway.

  LAN access only. And if it doesn’t work from day one on that dead VLAN, then I return it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨VR still makes 40-70% of players want to throw up, and that's a huge problem for the companies behind it⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  The Fresnel lenses give me eye fatigue.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨But my WiFi is just fine!⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  No shit?

  I mean copper runs at 2/3 the speed of light.

  Wireless is pretty much the speed of light.

  I thought they used dedicated fiber for their links.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨SpaceX projected 20 million Starlink users by 2022—it ended up with 1 million⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Different wave lengths.

  Shorter wave lengths are more affected by rain.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The War Thunder forum has once again been used to share restricted plane documentation - this time about the F-117 Nighthawk⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  There are a few things left. They still use Luneburg lenses for opfor and non-us exercises.
