  Weird, and interesting.

  How long until this is extended into some new dystopian surveillance device, tracking footsteps or something…

  I usually just leave mine in the car.

  I do wonder how much of a difference it makes, especially considering that iphones are able to continue sending out pings for Find My even when fully shut off. I figure the biggest risk would be like plugging/unplugging a connector.

  There are much greater ignition hazards at a gas station though, like people leaving their engines on, filling improper containers, reentering the vehicle while filling, smoking / vaping, etc. It’ll say not to do all that, but people don’t care there eiher.

  Transcoding media is great for saving space. My server has but a humble ancient 1TB hard drive (shared with other storage uses). From a DVD (mpeg2), an episode of this one TV show is 1.6-1.8 GB. After transcoding to AV1, it’s 200-400 MB, and I can’t tell the difference in quality.

  I use Veronica Explains’ helpful HandBrake guide, she provides some settings for AV1, which work very well for me (I just saved it as a new preset).

  https://vkc.sh/handbrake-2025/

  And you can do batches of files by opening a directory and adding all. I haven’t tried OP’s tool so I don’t know how it compares to HandBrake, but that works fine for my use case.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How does this thing work? (wrong answers only)⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  When air is warm, it rises. As the air attaches to the blades, the air is tricked into accepting a new definition of “up” which rotates with the blades, endlessly propelling them.

  As that air cools, warmer air is drawn in and entrapped, continuing the cycle.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How do I become one with the botnet⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  on any server with ssh exposed you’ll probably see a bunch of login attempts in the logs (automated attacks trying to find machines with a weak password). only keys is the way lol.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How do I become one with the botnet⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I’d recommend using “password” as your password and “root” for the username. Attackers have a lot of stuff going on! Don’t make their job all complicated, make it easy to remember.

  Older operating systems like a really old Linux distro or Windows XP are the best, since their performance requirements are a lot lower, giving better overhead for the crypto miners that will be installed. Modern OSs waste resources on security features and such.

  Thanks for the explanation!

  Also, supplying electricity to fast moving ground vehicles isn’t new, just look at… every high speed rail system ever…

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨First highway segment in U.S. wirelessly charges electric heavy-duty truck while driving⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah, this sounds stupid, and I’m worried about the amount of power wasted by induction charging. Anyone who’s wirelessly charged a phone knows it can get quite hot; that’s wasted energy. And Indiana’s generation is still mostly natural gas and coal, so at some point, with enough losses in transmission and charging, you’ll end up with a higher-carbon vehicle than a diesel truck…

  I am not sure what that point is, but the efficiency of charging is an important consideration in my mind.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What's the security situation when opening a jellyfin server up for casting?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I am not sure lol. perhaps your ssh port isn’t exposed to the internet, or maybe the bots are just ignoring you? maybe your hosting provider has some sort of security process to reject those attempts preemptively?

  I have no clue

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What's the security situation when opening a jellyfin server up for casting?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  so fun to look through the ssh log and see hundreds of attempts…

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Whats a good and proper alternative google message thats clean but better with privacy? - for texting⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  unfortunately as far as I know RCS is closed down. only Google messages on android and iMessage on iOS support it (maybe some other proprietary options, but no FOSS options).

  it seems like the brick walls in my case really impede signal. connection across the sides of the chimney, which is brick, seem to suffer a lot.

  Yep. My pan gets hand washing with a few drops of soap after every use and it's fine.

  Lye, or sodium hydroxide, strips the seasoning layers. It used to be used in soap.
  People use it when restoring cast iron in the modern day to strip old seasoning off. Then they can start againt and re-seaaon!
