Way to give up your rights and fund another insurance scam
- Comment on NAS decision paralysis 5 days ago:
Happy New Year, and good luck on both fronts. (The USA collusions with Russia, and the Linuxy stuff)
- Comment on NAS decision paralysis 5 days ago:
Tqilscale makes it easy, but Tailscale moved their servers from Canada to the USA a long while ago, and so with the USA being what it is right now I removed tailscale and configured wireguard. Hardest part of wireguard was just setting up firewall rules to masquerate and port forward, the rest was pretty easy, just time consuming
- Comment on The Michael Jackson movie should probably be cancelled due to the latest events. 6 days ago:
That too, but he would put up the family in a hotel he stayed at, but a different floor or opposite end to where he stayed with their child. The one victim said Michael would have him bed over and spread his cheeks while Michael masterbated
- Comment on The Michael Jackson movie should probably be cancelled due to the latest events. 1 week ago:
The movie should be cancelled anywhere, everyone is aware that Michael groomed young boys and slept in hotel rooms with them.
- Comment on I need to vent about plastic milk jugs 1 week ago:
The brand we used to buy would put their label there so it was protected from peeling off, Or rubbing against other jugs in transit. Things can have multiple purposes

- Comment on Raspberry Pi 4B 3 weeks ago:
Yes, I bought a rocketfish drive enclosure years back, so dropped a drive in that, and attached vias USB. Never had issues with it.
Assign as data drive in Openmediavault.
Openmediavault had some plugins and settings to set folders2ram so that the initial SDcard OS is writting to RAM instead of constant writes to the SDcard.
- Comment on How do you manage your home server configuration? 3 weeks ago:
MicroOS is a decent choice, because it can cold boot off a configuration that uses ignition and combustion files. microos.opensuse.org
And they have this file configurator so you don’t have to manually type all the syntax for your configs.
- Comment on Raspberry Pi 4B 3 weeks ago:
There are some sites dedicated to suggestions, or if you download the pi image burner tool it has a bunch of OS suggestions in the menu, like Pihole, Kodi media box, home assistant, etc.
I have a few running. One was setup as NAS and dlna music server using OpenMediaVault, one is a Volumio music player, my other one is Home assistant.
If you like old 80s-90s games there is RetroPi.
Too many choices really :)

- Comment on LG Update Installs Unremovable Microsoft Copilot on Smart TVs, Ignites Backlash 3 weeks ago:
Block your TV MAC address from accessing the internet at the router level. Local LAN phone apps will still control TV . but for streaming stuff you will want a raspberrypi loaded with Kodi or jellifin
- Comment on LG Update Installs Unremovable Microsoft Copilot on Smart TVs, Ignites Backlash 3 weeks ago:
Its looking like our future will be buying dumb industrial display panels and running a RaspberryPi as your streaming service device
- Comment on LG Update Installs Unremovable Microsoft Copilot on Smart TVs, Ignites Backlash 3 weeks ago:
In general its just wasteful use of power for answers that are easily found in other ways.
- Comment on Password managers... 3 weeks ago:
Yes 2FA is good, but most people default to their phone being the tool, but your phone number can be ported by scammers, or is often the target of theft
- Comment on Password managers... 3 weeks ago:
The solution to that is you purchase a backup key and enroll both when presented with the QR image for new OTP links, or add a secondary FIDO key on some accounts. Then you store the other one in a fireproof box.
Or you use a cryptographic key and print it out using shard tool. The shard tool lets you specify how many splits and how many requires for a tebuild. It prints out the shards and you distribute to safe places or people. They are useless by themselves but if you scan in the requires amount of pieces the tool will rebuild your cryptographic key

Use a yubikey hardware device, only the person with the hardware in hand and password can unlock your accounts
- Comment on Password managers... 3 weeks ago:
Just takes a brute force or 0 day vulnerability to get master password access, them they have everything.
Something that seems secure never is online, like the 2017 Intel managetment vulnerability where remote attackers could access your computer by sending a null password, and access your keyboard and camera etc
- Comment on Docker security 4 weeks ago:
Not sure about the distro being used, opensuse makes a docker zone to put docker interfaces on, those have their own ports and rules separate then the Ethernet assigned zone ports/services to allow. For me I had the opposite issue, I couldn’t reach my docker containers from my lan, onky from the local machine because the Ethernet was on an internal zone and Docker was on its own zone. I’m not a superskilled networker dude so I just turned on forwarding and masquerade so the incoming LAN zone would forward to doocker zone and pretend to be the local machine connecting and not a LAN or remote IP. I guess if you moved your dockers too the public zone you could get in trouble

Metaverse was like the AI nobody asked for getting pushed into apps. Nobody wanted Wii Mii like hangout rooms where you have to water a clunky headset.
- Comment on Amazon’s dynamic pricing is causing chaos for school budgets 4 weeks ago:
I saw this with my printer ink. It was an older unpopular model. $8 a cartridge, but later $39, then another time $17, then down to $8. Like no way to budget for that variation

Yes, the true flatearthers deny what they are hearing and dig in deeper
- Comment on Gravity! 4 weeks ago:
After a few years of marriage, it came to light that my wife thought the earth was flat. It wasn’t some religious thing or cult thing, she had no affiliations. She just came to that conclusion based on visual cues in the world (like ground looks flat) and believed it without it ever being challenged in it.
It came up when she mentioned that a plane fkying near the sun must be getting hot, and I’m like Whaa? I explained the sun is so far outside the earth that that plane isn’t feeling much different than us. She revealed she though the sun was inside the earth (like we lived in a snow globe on a flat planar surface) and the sun just went down behind the mountains at night like half hour away.
I was stunned. We had a 4hour talk about the earth as a planet and the solar system and how gravity works.
She curled up in a fetal position and had an existental crisis for the rest of the day.
Somehow she missed school for the gravity, solar system etc. And I’d destroyed her entire core belief system; that she had developed herself.
- Comment on Options for remote Wake-on-lan. Or I guess wake on WAN. 4 weeks ago:
Wireguard between you and remote device like a pi. Set pi to portfowarding and masquerading on. It will then let you be on say a 10.x.x x network remotely but will send info on the remote LAN like it came from that pi local IP
- Comment on Why do some people have so many tabs open on their browser? 5 weeks ago:
I like bookmarks because I can categorize them into drop down menus that make sense to me.
- Comment on Why do some people have so many tabs open on their browser? 5 weeks ago:
In that use-case: Sounds like bookmarks need a feature upgrade

Yeah I don’t get it, some people have 100s, dude that is what bookmarks are for.
- Comment on I dunno 5 weeks ago:
Its order of operations, to get rid of brackets do the internal, then the 5 tells you there was 5 sets of the amount in brackets. Rather than 2+5 first.
