  That kind of waterproofing wears over time (years). It keeps it’s resistance, but not a submersible seal. Watches have longer use years than phones on average.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Self-hosted blog - do I need a static IP address?⁩ ⁨⁨13⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago⁩:

  Cloudflare is a good choice. I used DNSExit for a while, and also NS1, but settled on Cloudflare. You don’t have to use their proxying, just DNS.

  Here’s a Docker Compose for you that will set myhost.mydomain.com to point to your public IP of wherever it is run:

  dyndns-cloudflare:
      image: oznu/cloudflare-ddns
      container_name: dyndns-cloudflare
      environment:
        - API_KEY=<key>
        - ZONE=mydomain.com
        - SUBDOMAIN=myhost
        - PROXIED=false
      restart: unless-stopped

  How are you hosting? And do you have a domain? Lot’s of good advice here, but knowing if you’re running on a Pi, in Docker, etc, would help others give you the easiest/best method.

  In short, you do not need a static IP.

  They’re using ChatGPT for fake address generation if it even needs a cache for that part. There are plenty of libraries to do that locally. They should only need to cache generated images, which is the only thing a model would be useful for here.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What is the magic diet for no-wipe poops?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Pretty sure that’s not how that works.

  “My OpenAI credits got hugged to death, please use a known postcode (like one from Keir Starmer’s constituency, WC2B6NH) in the meantime,” the author asks.

  While the OSA is dumb, this is also bad design, and why applications are going to use so much power.

  Cache the image creation results. Use a random address generator. This would drop the LLM use to the bare minimum.

  Maybe a bit. They say “advanced” and specify 2FA via hardware keys.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨hygiene⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Often, yes, but if you think it helps everyone for more than a short period of time, you’ve never worked in a medical field. Smell is not always controllable, feel sympathy for those less fortunate biologically.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨hygiene⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Can’t always help what you smell like.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨hygiene⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Simple case of bad biology luck or bad diet, resulting in smelly farts, combined with not standing up. Switching to a mesh chair would do wonders.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Proton releases a new app for two-factor authentication⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  2fa is free

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Proton releases a new app for two-factor authentication⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  How? BitWarden has great 2FA, but is also a password manager with good integrations, group sharing, etc. Plus when you log in with it, it auto-copies the 2fa to clipboard.

  Assuming you’ve used both, so what does Aegis bring to the table? Wondering if I should try it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Proton releases a new app for two-factor authentication⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  BitWarden is F(antastic)OSS.

  Any influx of new users that appear to be valid human meat popsicles should be the new normal. Would you like to create a downloadable zip file of a codebase that demonstrates this?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Lemmy is a tech literate echo chamber⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Exactly. Exposure to technology does not make you tech literate. Tech literate typically means engaged with new technologies.

  For instance, people were using phones, fax machines, calculators, watches, etc when dial up came out. Those users were not considered tech literate.

  The same happens today, an iPhone or Android user is not tech literate by default anymore.

  Ahh I see. I’ve been meaning to try out building a local Assistant to replace my Google Homes with Home Assistant Voice for a while, just haven’t tried it out yet.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Google Assistant Is Basically on Life Support and Things Just Got Worse⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  You asked for a service, but listed software. The latest FOSS software option is Forgejo, you should use ot instead of others for all the reasons mentioned. However, if you’re looking for a service, Codeberg runs a very popular Forgejo instance as a service.

  An unfathomably long list of projects and things to learn.

  I like to pick up hobbies that require me to learn skills. Like sure, you could buy a 3D printer, orrrr you could build a Voron, learn FreeCAD, learn to filament tune, add a DIY air filter, add a DIY filament changer, and on and on.
