TD Bank, yes.
- Comment on OpenAI’s Sam Altman warns of AI voice fraud crisis in banking 16 hours ago:
Nope.
Fuck TD. They enabled this horseshit automatically on my account. Surprise, surprise, it didnt work on my voice, even once.
Supposedly they disabled it three times. Guess what else happened? Someone accessed my damn account, because it was their voice linked to my account.
I’ll never have a TD account again. Absolute jackasses in terms of account security, that isn’t even the only issue I had with them.

For anyone curious, this is a Sicilian rice ball (arancini), they go all over NJ, operating out of northeastern NJ.
- Comment on NixOS and/or TrueNAS - What are your experiences? 3 days ago:
Personally, I keep storage and compute separate, makes it easier to maintain IMO. Where I have done it on a single box, ive just gone with a regular old Debian box and dropped in the drives.
I am considering playing with rockstor on a spare beige box I have, but basically the same separation of storage and compute will apply.

Do you think you can’t have an AMD GPU with an Intel board and iGPU?
Because you absolutely can. This is a non-issue.
- Comment on Just a little server 3 days ago:
That doesnt really change what I’m saying here…
- Comment on Just a little server 3 days ago:
I mean, thats what my quadros are. There is an Intel igpu plus the quadro, I find it more efficient because I can dedicate them to tasks more easily.
I agree sr-iov being better adopted would be great, but I also realize I’m not really a candidate either, I find the split approach best for my needs.
- Comment on Just a little server 3 days ago:
Depends on the model.
I can say for jellyfin transcoding, the igpu is plenty. The quadros only get used for transcoding and some misc cad use and other such things.
Given the recommended GPU w/ HDR specs for Sunshine - Intel HD Graphics 730 or higher - thats easily accomplished, even used. I couldn’t say how well it runs though as I don’t use it myself.
- Comment on Just a little server 3 days ago:
I’ve got three with quadros in them.
There are definitely options. No youre not shoving a full size GPU in there, but there are options.
- Comment on Just a little server 3 days ago:
Almost my entire (excessive) setup is a bunch of used, off lease tiny/mini/micros.
Most ive bought for about $100, then tossed some minor upgrades to like an m2 ssd, maxing out ram, etc, so under $200 altogether historically. Clustered with proxmox, so I even have high availability.
Yes, minis are great. Just do storage elsewhere, which can be a NAS or a generic box you load up with drives.

15mph max is a bit disappointing, I’d like to see 20-25 to at least compete with my legs, but I’m down for something like this.

Wireguard site-to-site, they already had an OK router I recommended to them so not much effort there.
- Comment on Question about traffic using Cloudflare tunnel 1 week ago:
Plex is a good example that does just that (not on my rec list but a good example) along with many business grade IPTV and media streaming products (think digital signage).
I’d really love to rework JF to do it, but structurally it wouldn’t work, you’d need a management service in front of it.
- Comment on Question about traffic using Cloudflare tunnel 1 week ago:
Remember that we’re talking about a server on your local network, and a device on the local network to make the connection for the stream. We aren’t talking about streaming over the internet.
- Client looks up server via DNS
- Client connects to public IP
- Client handshakes to server
- Server announces to client available connections (public, local)
- Client continues connections with local address
There is no need for tailscale or anything, this is a local connection. The only thing the public address is doing is the initial call to the server.
- Comment on Tape drive backups 1 week ago:
The good ones… Are not cheap (if someone knows a cheap option though, I’d be happy to add it to my own repertoire!)
For me, I backup with:
- A second NAS
- a clone to a NAS at two other homes (family), which also sync to mine
- Encrypted backups to generic cloud storage
- Comment on Question about traffic using Cloudflare tunnel 1 week ago:
Depends on the server obviously, but most will pass off their local once the initial handshake is made.
Once that is done, DNS isnt relevant anymore.
- Comment on Question about traffic using Cloudflare tunnel 1 week ago:
Should all be local after the connection is made, as long as nothing is wonky with your setup.
- Comment on Self host sff project 1 week ago:
Used tiny/mini/micro.
Get the gen of Intel CPU you can afford purely for hw transcoding. 6th-8th gen is good, newer gets you more, even av1 becomes an option.
If you have a NAS, great, store videos there. If you dont, I’d upgrade the t/m/m with an m.2 and (config dependant) you can usually stick a 2.5" in there as well.
Proxmox for the OS, run lxc’s for the individual services you want, or make a docker LXC and run them in there. Personally I just make an LXC for each service.
- Comment on Chinese Scientists Create Cyborg Bees That Can Be Controlled Like Drones for Undercover Military Missions 1 week ago:
The first UAV in the 1800s were incendiary balloons, Austrian attack on Venice.
A. M. Low was a pioneer in rocket guidance systems, planes, etc. In 1917 the “flying bomb” (a controlled airplane) was developed, and later developed into the Kettering Bug - a bomb with wings - which had a terrible success rate and never got used in combat. You can see a reproduction in Dayton, Ohio, at the museum for the Air Force.
Target drones (training drones for military pilots) were made by Radioplane and sold to the Army in the 1940s. That led to the SD-2 Overseer in the 1950s.
Which led to the Lightning Bug, based on target drone designs, used to monitor the Chinese, then Vietnam. They would deploy a parachute so they could be picked up mid-air so they wouldn’t fall into foreign hands. China shot down a few of them and set the shot them down and set those drones up for public display.
Drones have a much longer history than you’d think!

Classic to TBC.
Did my pally quest for the mount, only to see that no longer be needed just a bit later…
- Comment on I self hosted a World of Warcraft server. 1 week ago:
I haven’t played wow in a long time… Classic, TBC, then wotlk, cata, then took a break from it, came back a loooooong time later and just… Didnt enjoy it.
I would definitely do something like this to play with family and friends, going to have to check it out!
- Comment on naruto therapy 1 week ago:
Nothing that matters to the Naruto storyline, no. Filler episodes don’t impact the overall story, just some character focus bits about who they are.
You can always just read the summary for those episodes too.
What I would say among the fillers worth watching are:
- Naruto 101 is fantastic and could be considered canon with what happens later on in the story.
- Shippuden 349-361 is the kakashi back story. Its right in the middle of great story, but IMO worth watching. You could even watch this between Naruto and Shippuden.
- Shippuden 484-500 is adapted from official novels, so some call it filler, others call it canon. I’d recommend it.
Thats about it though. The rest are more of an “if you feel like it”.
- Comment on naruto therapy 1 week ago:
Just delete the fully filler episodes and enjoy
- Comment on Robot performs first realistic surgery without human help: System trained on videos of surgeries performs like an expert surgeon 1 week ago:
This is one of those cases where an algorithm carefully trained on only relevant data can have value.
Hopefully more people learn that this is the important part.
It becomes nonsense when you just feed it everything and the kitchen sink. A well trained model works.
- Comment on What network hardware should I get for my homelab? 1 week ago:
Assuming you want to replace it all, not just home lab use…
- Drop their router/modem combo if you can, get your own modem and router. Options are pretty wide here, but what I prefer is a wired router and separate WAPs. I’d lean toward opnsense for the router OS, and I’d use something with as little as two to four ports - one for the modem, one to hit a switch, two more gives you a second modem option (cellular as mentioned) and a second switch to hit if needed. Ideally with 10gbps for future proofing. Dont make your router/FW do lift of a switch, IMO.
- Get a switch sized to your network. Since you’re going with a 10" rack, a small 8 port with a couple 10gbit uplinks would fit the bill. Managed only here. You dont need the latest and greatest - I have a stack of Aruba 2920s, 48+4 PoE+ (stacking cables) that I got for free that were being replaced. They came out in 2013 and went end of sale in 2017, and have been in my home lab since. So - any thing managed that handles what you have and a bit more.
- In terms of WAP, TP-Link, ASUS, and Zyxel all have decent hardware that works well.
- Comment on How big is your media library? 2 weeks ago:
Yeah I just dont have a need with no devices to handle it natively, while the rest of my library can be. Building a new htpc media player for the living room next, new server after that.
New because I’m using a lenovo tiny as the server, which means either I build a new box completely, or I find the right used workststion tiny/mini/micro that can handle av1. Complete build will do a lot more (well, the t/m/m does too, but not to the extent my big box builds are set up for).
- Comment on How big is your media library? 2 weeks ago:
About the same here, minus the music videos (only a few dozen there for the kids), plus a fitness library, so I’d say it evens out to roughly equal.
Mostly HEVC but I still have some h.264 floating around that I have no interest in reencoding.
No AV1 at all until I get a new Intel GPU or newer Intel CPU to handle transcoding it nicely.
- Comment on GitHub - Snouzy/workout-cool: 🏋 Modern open-source fitness coaching platform. 2 weeks ago:
I dont think I said “random”, but a randomized routine that meets criteria absolutely works, and you dont need AI for that. I dont think anyone said “AI” at all until you just now either.
Detecting plateau isn’t too hard either, which is when you would get a suggestion to change an exercise or set of exercises in a routine, or a new routine. Which is where change of angle comes in - its about the exercise being performed.
Can someone do it themselves? Sure, it just takes more work. Which is kind of the point here - you can make a list of exercises that hit a muscle or muscle group just fine without software, which is what this software does. The next logical step is a system that handles routine options, too.
Even with consistent goals you need to change your routine around.
- Comment on You Should Run a Certificate Transparency Log 2 weeks ago:
Yup…
Uptime is fine, CPU/men is fine. I’d even be fine with grabbing a few ssd’s for the task…
But 2-3gbps is a non-starter, not to mention 2 contacts.
- Comment on Perspective 2 weeks ago:
It shouldn’t be slanted, I’m going to go with “not to code”, or your local building code didn’t adopt IRC for stairs.
