It really depends on what device you are connecting. My range/oven has the option that I never set up because I don’t want to preheat it when I am not home.

But I did get a smart wall outlet that I plugged my coffee maker into so I can turn it on from my bed in the morning.

Yup meta joke.

I have read that modern servers have np. Bots you can add so you can do dungeons and stuff. I haven’t tried myself. Would love to find a guide on how to set up a Linux host.

I would look into Tailscale based on your responses here. I don’t know what your use case is exactly but you set TS up on your server and then again on your phone/laptop and you can connect them through the vpn directly. No extra exposed ports or making a domain or whatnot.

If you want other people to access the server they will need to make a TS account and you can authorize them.

Hah, the more you know.

Did they take a RvB joke and put it to pictures of Zim? Or did they do the same joke in both?

A few months back I got adblocker notifications while using UBlock Origin. I did the update and refresh and it would work again.

It says “Simon’s desk” which is the name of the guy making the post, which to me says he was testing the software from his desk.

When it is deployed, it would say “vaping detected in north stairwell” or whatever. They are not installing sensors on every desk.

I love my shields, I have both the tube and the pro in different rooms. I like the Jellyfin AndroidTV app more than Kodi. I have side loaded a different launcher to avoid the ads.

I would love to try and replace it, but it needs to be able to handle 4K UHD rips with hdr and the original sound tracks in ATMOS or whatever.

Side note. Don’t use hardware acceleration with TDARR. You will get much better encodes with software encoding, which is great for archival and saving storage.

Use hardware acceleration with Jellyfin for transcoding code on the fly for a client that needs it.

If you know what your client specs are, you can use TDARR to reencode everything to what they need and then you won’t have to transcode anything with Jellyfin.

And the fax machine was invented in 1843. So do with that what you want.

You have a point that it will be hard to explain this to everyone on why it is better.

From my understanding, when you use a password manager, the user will enter a pw into it that they remember and the vault will unlock. Then when they go to log into a website, a different, longer, and impossible to remember password will be sent to the site at login. (Assuming they are using the manager well). A week later when they go to log in again, the same long password will be delivered.

The problem is that if a bad actor gets involved, whether it is the website is attacked or they send the user a phishing url or something and the password from the manager is exposed, it will have to be changed. That scammer can now log into that website as the user whenever they want, and possibly any other website that user used the same password for. Hopefully they didn’t if they are using a manager.

With passkeys, a user will log into their manager with a password they remember, but when they go to log into a website, a different token will be sent, based on their key, every time. So if a scammer is listening at the router they still can’t log in again because it has expired.

It is still not a perfect thing, I would imagine that phishing sites could still get a scammer in, who could possibly do bad things or change the login credentials but it is still much more secure than sending a password to the site for the user.

This is the big thing. All doing silly things like obscene QR codes does is add training data for future ai to remove them.

What do people think about Rocky Linux for servers?

It should let you choose what location should be sent. Flood their data with junk.

I still have my WRT54G around somewhere. Loved that thing. What I found interesting was that when the firmware went open demand for that model went through the roof. Wish more companies would realize that there is a demand for that market.

She is in her 80’s. I mostly just explained WHY she would need one, and promised once she was done with the transition, things would be easier. Her old password method was a weathered old piece of paper with everything scribbled down on it, with lots of old pet names and other animals with random numbers attached.

Now she is very happy with being able to have all of her passwords ready either on her computer, phone, or iPad, and she feels a lot more secure with the long random passwords.

I got my mom to use Bitwarden. There was a bit of effort setting her up, but now she is really happy with it.

It could possibly be used as a key for your password manager, but overall impractical. Just use Bitwarden with a strong password that you can remember.

You could build a campaign around that. Some village in an oasis is just torturing some reborn they caught and use the endless water to feed the well. Get enough water and there could be some climate change.
