• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨M4 Mac Mini Power Button Has New Bottom Location⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I have been using a MacBook trough work for 7 years now and I think I actually clicked shutdown once this year too keep the battery at ~80% during my 1 month holiday. Otherwise I maybe reboot it once every month or two to fix some weird homebrew upgrade issues. And that’s it. The thing is just “on” in deep sleep, forever.

  If the Mac mini’s behave similarly to the MacBooks, the standby energy usage is so low it’s probably easier to just keep it in on/standby/sleep all the time and just wake it by keyboard or mouse. And because Apple develop their own hardware, standby and sleep actually work reliably. So they probably intend for you to only use that power button for a hard reset. Even shutting it down and moving it, plugging the power back in wil probably start it up again. Just like opening the lid on my shutdown MacBook also boots it before I even touch the power button. Even a keypress or mouseclick will probably turn the damn thing on.

  Yes it’s an odd design choice, but in regular day to day use it probably won’t matter. Especially if you realise that its not a windows machine that needs to shutdown or reboot often.

  No no, they are planning to add, nothing about when it’s being added yet. This patch is just a very small number of quest blocker fixed.

  And let’s not forget: it’s full AAA price, but it feels like a finished game without hidden microtransactions for cosmetics or DLC that actually should have been part of the main game. Mod support is also free which is apparently not a given. Looking at you Bethesda with the starfield rumors.

  Gameplay is modeled to be enjoyable instead of a time sink just to get you to play more.

  You can play co-op with friends if you want but it doesn’t force you to always be online.

  Actually, the more I think about, it’s sad how low a bar we have set for new games these days. And the worst part is, most new games can’t even pass this…

  Honestly the default config is good enough to prevent brute force attacks on ssh. Just installing it and forgetting about it is a definite option.

  I think the default block time is 10 minutes after 5 failed login attempts in 10 minutes. Not enough to ever be in your way but enough to fustrate any automated attacks. And it’s got default config for a ton of services by default. Check your /etc/fail2ban/jail.conf for an overview.

  I see that a recidive filter that bans repeat offenders for a week after 10 fail2ban bans in one day is also default now. So I’d say that the results are perfect unless you have some exotic or own service you need fail2ban for.
