Yeah, this seems like burning man gold. I think Lumilor paint and careful stenciling could replicate this but it’s >$400 an oz.

Agreed, how long before you can get a car painted with it?

Oh machines get sick and then the real costs appear. (Am an electrician, I play doctor on automated machines, sometimes a human is cheaper when the whole plant stops for a $200 part that is not in stock)

You can use a pinhole to project an image of the sun onto a sheet of paper but not directly as glasses. Look up a ‘pinhole projector’ you can make a pretty good one with an Amazon box.

- Comment on Owners of a domain, which domain registrar did you choose and why? 8 months ago:
Namecheap, cheap, easy to use, easy to setup DDNS, helpful support staff. I have heard horror stories of them selling popular domains out from under their owner but none were recent.

I think it’s the other way round, only dumbasses want the job. The same thing happens with middle management and politicians, anyone smart enough to do the job well is smart enough not to take it.

Nope.

So I should just start committing crimes too complicated for cops to understand!
- Comment on Helpful victims less likely to be injured -Toronto Police 8 months ago:
Our car got stolen last year, the Hamilton police said “call your insurance company.”
It took the guy 5 min from opening the door to driving away and as far as I know the only technical part is that they use some hardware to relay the key fob signals. They relay the keyless/proximity unlock signal to get in, then they pair a new fob to the car using the manufactures method. Normally that requires all other paired fobs to be present at the same time BUT they are relaying those signals so the “security” there is bypassed.
The icing on the cake is that the cops didn’t even bother to cruise by the next night as the neighbour’s car got stolen as well.

A follow up post retracts the statement and instead suggests the following.
Park vehicles in garage, if possible Ensure your driveway is well lit and keep exterior lights on all night Security cameras are an asset If possible, install a home security system – activate alarm on STAY when home and AWAY when out Consider having a motion detection alarm connected to your cell phone Put security film on glass windows and doors Have multipoint door locks on your doors Keep backyard gates locked and ground windows secured Do not post on social media when you will be away on holiday Report suspicious vehicles/persons in the neighbourhood to police
Defund the police, over and over they are telling us, directly, that this OUR problem not theirs. Put the money into healthcare and public transit.

- Comment on Public DNS server with gui 9 months ago:
I ran my ssh behind 53 for a while because it’s rarely blocked. A few bots even got it right and figured out it was ssh.
- Comment on What can I do with an old laptop? 10 months ago:
Without being able to set a static ip and forward ports you cant host services and point to them with a domain, like driveway-home.com or something.
But I think cloudflare has a service that lets you connect remotely without needing static ip’s (some one else will know the name). If you were to use that then you can use your laptop to host pretty much anything on the Awesome Selfhosted List.

Device agnosticism. Life is easier when it doesn’t take ONE laptop or phone failure to destroy all your data.
- Comment on Should I move to Docker? 11 months ago:
I use LXC for all the reasons most people use Docker, it’s easy to spin up a new service, there are no leftovers when I remove a service, and everything stays separate. What I really like about LXC though is that you can treat containers like VMs, you start it up, attach and install all your software as if it were a real machine. No extra tech to learn.

NP, it drove me nuts to see a simple thing act in a not-simple way and just had to know.

- Comment on ISP put me behind NAT 1 year ago:
It’s kinda shitty of them to block the ports that makes up +30 years of what the internet IS. Bell/Rogers want your internet connection to be unidirectional, when you host your own content you don’t consume theirs.
- Comment on ISP put me behind NAT 1 year ago:
Afaik it’s at the ISP’s digression. Up until I switched, Bell would block ports 21, 22, 53, 80 and 443.

IPv6.

It’s to push users into getting commercial accounts.
- Comment on ISP put me behind NAT 1 year ago:
ISPs in Canada usually include a clause in their TOS that explicitly prohibits selfhosting. Don’t move here, it sucks.
- Comment on How I accidentally wiped my server by having a typo in my Nextcloud docker config 1 year ago:
I ham-fistedly use LXC to keep my services separate and out of dependancy hell, but would you go as far as putting docker run services in them as well just to keep them away from the host?
- Comment on How much does it matter where my domain registrar is located? 1 year ago:
I wonder if I could automate searching only the highest value domains.
