Sure, just remember the S in IoT stands for security and IoT devices are just embedded devices connected to the internet.
And the Medical industry is the proof for the rule.

PETG is very hygroscopic. It’s one of those filaments that you should dry before using every time. Even if it’s a freshly opened package.

- Comment on Top 3 episodes (all shows) for a newbie 1 week ago:
TNG: Drumhead, I, Borg, and Chain of command (or if you don’t want a two parter, take your pick of Q who, Measure of a Man, or Yesterday’s Enterprise)
DS9: In the Pale Moonlight, Inquisition, and It’s Only a Paper Moon.
VOY: Living Witness, Tuvix, and Year of Hell (or again, if you don’t want a two parter, go for Tinker Tenor Doctor Spy)
TOS: The Devil in the Dark, The City on the Edge of Forever, and Mirror Mirror.
ENT: Similitude, Regeneration, In a Mirror Darkly (don’t really have a good non-two parter to suggeat over In a Mirror, Enterprise doesn’t have a lot of great standalone episodes IMO)
Movies: if you want to use these as examples, The Wrath of Khan for TOS and First Contact for TNG.
And I don’t really have a list for LD, PIC, DIS, SNW, or PRO.

- Comment on The weather is definitely changing. 1 week ago:
Yep, where I live, growing up I’d go trick-or-treating in waist deep snow (I was much smaller at the time, so more like knee deep on an adult). Now, first snow isn’t until mid November and we don’t get massive accumulation until mid-december.
Both high temperatures in the summer and low temps in winter have also increased by like 10F. What used to be a major heat wave 15 years ago is now normal. Sub-zero temps used to be normal for weekly lows in late January into mid-late February. We have multiple false breakups each winter where temperatures get above freezing for days at a time and all of the snow starts melting.
Shit’s very noticeable if you’re paying attention over time.
- Comment on What are some slow acting poisons? 1 week ago:
Depending on your setting and desired outcome for the poisoner, uraninite (aka pitchblende) might be an option. It has historical uses in glass making and pottery glazing, which could provide justification for why someone would have it.
It contains Uranium, which is radioactive, but I don’t believe will bioaccumulate, but can build up on surfaces, tools, and clothing providing a source of long-term radiation exposure. In addition, it contains lead, which does bioaccumulate, providing a source of gradual long term poisoning as well as radium which also bioaccumulates and is radioactive, providing an additional source of longterm radiation exposure.

Calibre cant natively strip DRM from ebooks, but there are third-party plugins for it that can and integrate pretty seamlessly into the process of adding the book to your library.
I used it to strip the DRM from all of my Amazon bought ebooks back before they removed the download option.

- Comment on Check your DVDs for disc rot — Warner Bros. says it’s replacing them 3 weeks ago:
You also have to deal with whatever settings the uploader decided to use when they transcoded the original rip. Which can mess with the color grade and contrast ratio, the hdr grading, introduce noise, and otherwise fuck with the video quality and audio quality.
Most people won’t care, but to some it matters.
- Comment on Nintendo has sent a DMCA notice to Ryujinx forks 4 weeks ago:
Technically, you’re allowed to make copies for personal use unless doing so requires bypassing DRM, encryption, or some other lockout mechanism.
Emulation is still not piracy and neither is making a personal backup, but if making that backup requires anything more than a standard disc drive or a cart reader then it is a DMCA violation.
- Comment on Homeserver advice: i9-14900KS vs. i9-10940X 1 month ago:
Might be a bit late on this, but ProxMox doesn’t really handle assigning threads to the e/p cores. That’s handled by the kernel and as long you’re running kernel version 6.1 or greater you should be good on that front.
If you really need to, you can also pin specific VMs to specific cores. So that if you’ve got something that always needs the performance it can always run on the p-cores and things that aren’t as demanding can always run on e-cores.
That said, especially if you’re over provisioning, it’s probably better to let the scheduler in the kernel handle thread assignments.
- Comment on star bae 1 month ago:
And 1/2c is a pretty middle of the road escape velocity for a neutron star.
The lightest known neutron star, at 1.4 solar masses has an escape velocity of right around 1/4c, while the heaviest at 2.35 solar masses is 3/4c.
All of which assumes the neutron star isn’t spinning. Equatorial bulging caused by the rotation reduces the escape velocity at the equator relative to the poles and depending on whether or not you launch with the direction of the rotation you might be able to subtract the rotational velocity from your escape velocity.
As an example, in the case of that 2.35 solar mass neutron star, it has a rotational velocity of approximately 0.24c. So of you launch with the rotation you get an escape velocity of 0.5c, whereas if you launch against it you’re looking at more like 0.98c.

Given that nowhere in the article does it say that 14% of people exclusively play on pre-2000 hardware I don’t find this that surprising.
I’m more shocked by the last statistic, 11% of American households still use fax. Fax? Fuckin’ why? That’s like saying people still listen to music on Edison cylinders.
- Comment on What does the 3-2-1 rule look like for you? 1 month ago:
I don’t think this meets the definition of 3-2-1. Which isn’t a problem if it meets your requirements. Hell, I do something similar for my stuff. I have my primary NAS backed up to a secondary NAS. Both have BTRFS snapshots enabled, but the secondary has a longer retention period for snapshots. (One month vs one week). Then I have my secondary NAS mirrored to a NAS at my friends house for an offsite backup.
This is more of a 4-1-1 format.
But 3-2-1 is supposed to be:
-
Three total copies of the data. Snapshots don’t count here, but the live data does.
-
On two different types of media. I.e. one backup on HDD and another on optical media or tape.
-
With at least one backup stored off site.

- Comment on Homeserver advice: i9-14900KS vs. i9-10940X 1 month ago:
I can’t speak to AI performance, but given you’re stated goal of lower idle power consumption, I’d go with the 14900K, not the KS as you have listed.
Reason being the $250 price difference between the two, when the KS is just a slightly higher binning of the K with an additional 200MHz on the boost clocks. With that higher boost being something you’re unlikely to practically see without a substantial and robust cooling system, I don’t think it’s worth the extra money.
The reason I’d go with the K over the 10940X is the lower limit on it’s power consumption. The E cores are very efficient and can down clock substantially meaning it idles at really low power. The 10940X doesn’t have that benefit.
Beyond that, I’d say look at IPC, per thread, per max sustainable clock of each core, to get a general out look on performance.
Note: all of the above assumes we’re working within your listed options. My actual recommendation would be an AMD 7800x3d or 9800x3d.
- Comment on LineageOS now officially supports the Pixel 9 series 2 months ago:
source.android.com/docs/security/…/file-based
I did not remember correctly, kind of. From AOSP, Android 7 and later use file-based encryption (FBE) rather then full-disk encryption (FDE). FBE is dependant on verified boot, which itself requires a locked bootloader.
Custom ROMs may have back ported FDE, modified FBE, or implemented their own encryption.
- Comment on LineageOS now officially supports the Pixel 9 series 2 months ago:
It is largely an anti-tampering measure. Without it you could have things injected into the system. For example, a stalker could install a hidden tracking program as a service and then return your phone without you knowing.
Iirc it’s also a prerequisite for full-disk encryption on modern android. So, without it your user data is available to be dumped in an unencrypted state. Most phone thieves are interested in reselling the phone, so they’re provably not going to go through the effort and risk damage to the phone just to dump encrypted data from the chips directly. However, if it’s just available unencrypted from fastboot why not dump it? They could get info that could be used to blackmail or scam you or people you know. Or they could just sell the data.

- Comment on Serving my media library to my TV (local network only), i need suggestions 3 months ago:
Ah, it’s one of those. I was thinking it was the TV’s OS.
I don’t have a lot of experience with those smaller dongles, but as I understand it they’re fairly low power devices that are more meant for streaming relatively low bitrate media from the internet or from a phone. It may not have the horsepower for playing back high bitrate media from Jellyfin or Plex.
Others may have a solution that’ll work for that device, but my gut response is to say you should consider replacing it with something more powerful.
- Comment on Serving my media library to my TV (local network only), i need suggestions 3 months ago:
Unless you have a commitment to only using open source software, I’d recommend Plex over Jellyfin. Mostly because I’ve found the client software for Jellyfin to be lacking, especially on AppleTV.
For the issues with the GoogleTV, you mention that it’s on WiFi, would it be possible to use a wired connection or get another set top box for it? Some TVs have the WiFi antenna behind the screen causing interference, so even though other devices get a strong signal the TV doesn’t.
Also, how’s the hardware on your server? Is the CPU powerful enough or do you have a GPU for transcoding? Also, is the server on WiFi or wired?
It’s worth noting that a lot of settop boxes have limited codec support, which might be forcing transcoding even if everything should otherwise support direct play.
