- Comment on S1ngularity/nx attackers strike again 18 hours ago:
This is probably the biggest hack of the year. As of the writing it had infected 140+ packages including some from big names like CrowdStrike. npm is in a LOT of things, and this thing is a true worm.

An rpi might work for your computer issues.
- Comment on What would stop you from switching to a flip phone (or dumbphone) in 2025? 3 days ago:
I know someone that has been trying out all of the mp3 players and has yet to find something that works as well as an iPod classic.
But then why would I need one? It’s all on my phone.
- Comment on Have you tried self-hosting your own email recently? 3 days ago:
No. I do that for my job and wouldn’t do it for personal use. HA/redundancy/security is too expensive.

As others have said, clean existing grout off, adhesive, and grout it again. It will be discolored.
- Comment on What would stop you from switching to a flip phone (or dumbphone) in 2025? 3 days ago:
I still need internet service and the iPod touch was discontinued years ago.
- Comment on What would stop you from switching to a flip phone (or dumbphone) in 2025? 3 days ago:
Who even makes phone calls today? Not me. I need a device that does everything but phone calls more than I need a device that only does voice.
- Comment on Best no install ceiling light? 3 days ago:
Run a hook into the ceiling into a support beam. Hang a light from it, run a cord to another hook near a wall down to an outlet on the ground.
Plug the light into a smart outlet adapter, add a wireless switch to the wall wherever you want.
- Comment on Best practice for connecting lots of HDD to motherboards with few SATA ports? 3 days ago:
Consider splitting your compute and storage. A dedicated NAS and the connect your compute to it using nfs or iSCSI.
- Comment on how are you able to care more about your job itself than the people at your job? 3 days ago:
You’re only wrong because your job has poor management and you should be finding a new one.
- Comment on Windows 11 24H2 updates are still failing on Western Digital's SN770, despite the fact that a fix came out 8 months ago — here's what to do if you're stuck 4 days ago:
Issue is because Sandisk needs to submit a working update to Microsoft. Once the firmware is updated everything works as expected.

- Comment on Why Shouldn't I Use A Small Gaming PC 4 days ago:
I think the packaging also leads to better audio quality due to inherently lower emi.

mITX is more expensive but is smaller and has some other advantages.
- Comment on Why Shouldn't I Use A Small Gaming PC 5 days ago:
You can do better. I’d get a miniITX form factor of your choice that supports a video card, but omit the card for now.
An amd with igpu might be decent for your needs today and slap a dgpu in later if your needs change.
- Comment on emergency remote access 5 days ago:
At the enterprise level an Opengear appliance fixes this.
Tripplite PDUs have an option to perform a ping test against an ip, and if it stops responding it can power cycle the outlet of your choice.
If you want to get fancy you can advertise routes from two routers into your L3 switch and if a route goes down your switch will use the backup.
- Comment on I wish there was a system to verify that a webpage was written by an actual human before showing me it 1 week ago:
Even with Adblock the sites are garbage and it’s frustrating to scroll through a bunch of nonsense to find the recipe and then decide I don’t like it. It’s much easier to have a few recipes summarized for me.
- Comment on I wish there was a system to verify that a webpage was written by an actual human before showing me it 1 week ago:
AI has helped me with recipes more than anything else. It skips over all of the advertising slop and stories that recipe sites have.
- Comment on Just had a hospital group employee tell me to simply email medical information 1 week ago:
It is as simple as checking a box and requiring TLS encryption at the recipient’s email gateway/server.
- Comment on Storm Water Mitigation/Sump Pump 1 week ago:
Yeah I had a house on a huge hill and did both a French drain and sump pump.
- Comment on Storm Water Mitigation/Sump Pump 1 week ago:
french drain around the outside?
- Comment on Proxmox or Docker? 1 week ago:
VMs are managed by you. You’re responsible for dealing with prerequisites, updates, security.
Docker is a dev stating “works on my machine” and giving you a copy of their machine.
You can run docker within proxmox, and doing so gives you the ability to run containers in addition to VMs.
There are advantages and disadvantages to both.

No.

If only that were true.
- Comment on What I host myself 1 week ago:
Real email security gateways cost money. There’s no good way to deal with it at small scale.
- Comment on What I host myself 1 week ago:
It’s not worth it but some people don’t mind the cost.

- Comment on Implementing Portable User Identities with DIDs 2 weeks ago:
This could be easily solved with domain name and certificates
- Comment on Would you ever give up your right to leave a bad review about a company? 2 weeks ago:
It’s not enforceable. Contract law understands that sometimes contracts are garbage.
