  Don’t get me wrong, I don’t support this. But I can see how the suits at Synology could come to the conclusion that this is a great idea

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Synology could bring “certified drive” requirements to more NAS devices⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  People who buy overpriced “solutions” instead of taking the time to configure a PC seem like exactly the crowd to enjoy a closed ecosystem (see apple)

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨A French law requiring adult sites to run age checks( facial age estimation, ...etc) and block users under 18 became applicable to sites based in France and outside of the EU.⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Why bother? Use a VPN.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Car safety experts at NHTSA, which regulates Tesla, axed by DOGE⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Do the cars not have to be certified? It seems to me that fewer employees just means longer delays for certifications, not easier certifications

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Note: before tariffs⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Don’t get me wrong, I dislike other gaming consoles too. Why would I buy a device that I don’t really own, i.e. the manufacturer can pull the rug from under it at any time and render it completely useless? I get your point about ‘innovative’ designs. But then they should sell the device separately and allow the user to with it as they please (see steam deck).

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Note: before tariffs⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I’ve always felt the other way around: If you’re trying to sell me games, make them for PC. I’m not buying a new device just for Mario

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Encrypting data on local servers?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  You can use FDE and setup a minimal ssh server like dropbear to run at startup. This way, you can supply the password via a keyboard connected to the machine OR via ssh. This gives you a similar workflow to the data partition you mentioned, but encrypts the entire system.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨OpenWrt Two will be a higher-performance router with 10 Gigabit LAN and WiFi 7 support - Liliputing⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Which country is that? I just recently got fiber, but 1G down 0.5G up would cost me 90€/month, and that’s the fastest they’re offering.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨OpenWrt Two will be a higher-performance router with 10 Gigabit LAN and WiFi 7 support - Liliputing⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I also wouldn’t use the built-in Wifi on this, but I can understand why they’d want to offer an all-in-one solution

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How to secure Jellyfin hosted over the internet?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I hate the cloudflare stuff making me do captchas or outright denying me with a burning passion. My fault for committing the heinous crime of using a VPN!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨OpenWrt Two will be a higher-performance router with 10 Gigabit LAN and WiFi 7 support - Liliputing⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  From the image, it doesn’t seem like it has rack mounts, which is kind of an odd choice. There are lots of switches that have a similar form factor, but can be put in 10" or 19" racks depending on which rack ears you put on it

  Git is already decentralized, nothing is stopping you from adding multiple remotes to your repo.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Disappointing coyote attack⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m almost afraid to ask, but is there a LaTeX package for emojis? Or do you just insert them as unicode?

  A commercial for rehab?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Hey gamers~⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  The neat part of VPN port forwarding is that your local machine can be reached at VPN_endpoint_IP:forwarded_port. Whether your ISP gives you a public IP or not has nothing to do with that

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Filing: DOGE broke Treasury policy with unencrypted email⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I always thought the second amendment was supposed to prevent this

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Hey gamers~⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Sadly they killed port forwarding though. I suspect torrenting speeds are much worse now?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Brother accused of locking down third-party printer ink cartridges via forced firmware updates, removing older firmware versions from support portals⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  What’s stopping you from connecting it to the local network but denying internet access? E.g. via a firewall rule or separate VLAN?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Apple turns off iCloud encryption feature in UK following reported government legal order.⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Uhm this is exactly why you only store already-encrypted data on remote servers

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Obsidian is now free for work - Obsidian⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I like obsidian specifically because you don’t need to rely on some built-in sync tool. The files are right there and in a sane format, you can sync them however you want. I use syncthing for this at home, but the choice is yours

  You can find these stations in lots of public places in Europe. They usually have some tools for basic bicycle repair too

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Kindle Is Making It Harder to Switch to Rival eReader Brands.⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  It eludes me how people pay to ‘buy’ something that they cannot download in the first place. If I don’t have it as a file on my computer, I don’t own it. You wouldn’t pay to ‘buy’ a physical item if that meant only being able to look at it at the store, without the ability to take it home and do whatever you want with it.

  Do you actually have 10G switches and network cards, or is everything behind your router on 1G?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Apple's controversial iPhone accessory may have been discontinued⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Jewel Beetles⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I can see that bodybuilders are not attractive to most people, but how are their bodies ‘fake’? Getting to look like that is hard work, and not just a matter of money, makeup and plastic surgery.
