- Comment on Your TV Is Spying On You 1 week ago:
HEC feature enables IP-based applications over HDMI and provides a bidirectional Ethernet communication at 100 Mbit/s
I think the bandwidth is too slow for HD/4K Streams.
I am sure the 100 Mbit/s must also be theoretical maximum, i would be impressed if practical cables supports even half the orignal specs
- Comment on Why is the manosphere on the rise? UN Women sounds the alarm over online misogyny 1 week ago:
This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.
I personally browse this community for tech news and updates, this seems more like an American societal problem. Not something happening all around the world. Personally i won’t be interested in reading the article because I live in Asia and the society here is completely different. This kind of misogyny is not seen by me.

Nothing against the article but why is this in /c/Technology ?
If something has word online/Internet on it does not mean it has something to do with technology.
- Comment on The end of Windows 10 is approaching, so it's time to consider Linux and LibreOffice 1 week ago:
I don’t understand how can critical buisness machines which work perfectly fine be switched to windows 11?
We have a machine at work which is beefy and works as a server and backups for many many years on windows 10. Why the hell should I upgrade my buisness critical system ?? Why would I take my risk breaking stuff. I am sure there are millions of critical systems running gon windows 10 which should not be distribed at any means, what would Microsoft do about them.

- Comment on Been a good couple of years 2 weeks ago:
Would have to start from scratch as RIF was not open source and now abandoned as far as I know.
- Comment on Been a good couple of years 2 weeks ago:
Just curious, why people avoid lemmy.ml i joined this beliveing its run by the lemmy devs so should be safest.
- Comment on Been a good couple of years 2 weeks ago:
RIF still works with some twaks, you need to patch it with an API key similar to youtube vanced and then it works. though some people report the method stopped working recently. Any way its a lost cause.
- Comment on Been a good couple of years 2 weeks ago:
This made me curious, how much funding does it actually require for maintining reasonable amount of users in the long term ?
- Comment on Been a good couple of years 2 weeks ago:
Exactly !!
Miss RIF so much.
- Comment on Best way to get IPv4 connectivity to my self-hosted services 3 weeks ago:
I have a VPS hosted on Digital ocean with Nginx running as proxy, I use openvpn to connect to the VPS and access all my services over the VPS ip address.
I own a domain and forward all the requests from my domain to the Home server IP from my VPS, very useful because I can use different subdomains for different services all on port 80 or 443 even though the service is running on random port.

- Comment on Self hosting email, FLOSS, Python ... 5 weeks ago:
I have heard people have successfully utilised Mailcow without any issues for many years.
Personally gave it a try once but setting up ports, firewalls, virus scans, anti spams, dns felt too much effort for what I was going to use it for

It’s not true.
Vector dbs and LLMs are really powerful at knowledge retrieval.

- Comment on Altman-Backed Startup Rolls Out Eyeball-Scanning Tech Across US 1 month ago:
the Orb as a powerful tool to verify people’s identities and prove someone is really human at a time when artificial intelligence deepfakes are becoming more convincing.
My goverment ID ( India aadhar card ) already has my my biometric taken using eyes.
And I can verify my identity using eyes.
I don’t understand how this is anything new except it’s private company.

- Comment on Elon Musk's Social Platform X has filed a lawsuit agains Minnesota, challenging a law banning political deepfakes 2 months ago:
IAs far as I read this correctly, the law prohibits creating such media but does not hold the websites accountable for publishing the media.
It does indeed sound vague as to what the social media site should do.
