What the hell is up with Nebraska?

Or if you want to float some money the developer's way, pick up last epoch.

Don't worry, AI will help us (make the situation much, much worse by simultaneously causing outages and causing a massive increase of emissions.)

Come over to Last Epoch - I've had a much better experience solo and with friends. And shockingly, the global chat is helpful/welcoming of newbies.

Ah, I wonder if it's something with the Wasabi S3 hosting. I'll check into it.

It's literally all I wanted to do when I saw the .bond TLD came up for registration.

You can take stronk.bond from my cold dead hands.

Hey! It could totally be some other nation state that has strong, documented ties to the party running against Harris!

Ideally, sure use a password generator - but I wouldn't worry about the security of a password generator like the one I linked.

1. There's no linking of the password you generated to whichever account you are creating.
2. There's no guarantee from the web operator's perspective that you are actually using the generated passwords for anything at all.

Again, use bitwarden's generator - or equivalent - for passphrases, but in the absence of that correcthorsebatterystaple.com is good enough for a non-shared password.

I should buy a bidet.

Yes it's weird, but is it a Walmart? Granted, I haven't been in quite a while, but the signage looks off?

Again, fucking weird to wear a Trump flag as a cape to go grocery shopping.

His felonies so far.

The other thing to keep in mind with PiHole - some things are just going to break with it's default blocking, namely the Google suggested results.

i know, I know - just don't use google, but android phones/parents have a hard time not just braindead going to Google for results.

It's not the end of the world - I've trained myself to just keep scrolling to actual results.

Another feature for PiHole is local DNS - if you want, you can set up custom dnsmasq entries for self hosted/internal services.

The brand/type of wifi router is more of a technical requirements discussion than privacy discussion.

For instance, I live in a two story townhome rental with the modem in the basement - so I picked up an Orbi mesh system to bounce wifi up to the second floor. I also have a fairly complex network with IoT VLAN, DMZ (for remote VPN) and other network segments - again the orbi doing different VLANs per SSID was a deciding factor.

I've also only used the Orbi as an access point, relying on a dedicated firewall/router for that stuff.

If you're looking at a flat network (e.g. everything on one segment - the typical home user setup), pretty much any WiFi router from Best Buy or equivalent will do the job. Check your current devices to see if you can take advantage of WiFi 7 technology - otherwise save a few bucks and go WiFi 6.

For security purposes, change the default SSID (the wireless name) to something unique - and change the password to something from correcthorsebatterystaple.net. You don't need the default jumble of letters and numbers to be secure.

Lastly, getting to your privacy concerns, look at the DHCP settings - that's what hands out IP addresses to your devices so they can reach the internet. Change the DNS servers to something other than your ISP. This looks like a good starting point.

The big things are to make sure you don't expose your router management to the Internet (the default shouldn't do that) and to make sure you periodically check for firmware updates.

If you want to up your game, you could look at spinning up a self-hosted DNS server like Pi-Hole - but that can be a bit more advanced to get setup and troubleshoot if something goes wrong.

Quit trying to make Wank Clown happen, it's not going to happen.

The Readme was a bit light - what does it end up doing?

I for one certainly do.

We just bought our first house and the way our realtor explained it was something like this:

Yes, the new law says the buyer pays the buyer's realtor fees (typically around 3% of the purchase price). Seller's think they're getting more money because, "hey! I don't have to pay both my realtor and the buyer's agent". But the law doesn't say the buyer must pay - it's still negotiable. And if the seller won't pay the buyer's fee, nobody will show their house to potential buyers.

Not sure if it's gotten worse - I've only been picking locks since the beginning of the pandemic.

You can even fly with them! I do a bit of locksport for fun and have gotten quite the side eye when picking open padlocks while waiting for a plane.

I have been doing that for the past 10 years or so and I love it. I went from having something like a Roku plugged in to now just running Linux on a mini PC.

The only annoying part has been trying to find a good wireless keyboard/ mouse combo that uses rechargeable batteries. Logitech discontinued the expensive one that I used to have.

Google translate is a lifesaver.

These German folks have funnier memes.

I'm fairly certain something like that has already happened with Canadian Airlines. A person asked about bereavement travel and the AI chat bot claimed one thing and the company refused to honor it. IIRC, the court said the company had to abide by what the chatbot said.

Jesus Gary Oldman is in everything and I love it. Has the man won an Oscar yet?

Listen buddy. Plastic dinosaurs can be scary - really scary.

See, this is 4th dimensional chess. Trump knows that Bidens deal would be bad for Palestine and only Trump can get a better one. So akshually this is a good thing. /s

Even if you can't lift the handle up , the door can probably be shimmed from the inside - especially if the latch plate is improperly sized.

I'm not seeing any replies that are super helpful for your question - so here's what I do: throw a Linux desktop on a Raspberry Pi, or NUC and use the TV like monitor. Get a wireless keyboard/mouse combo and watch Plex through the appimage or just Firefox. Bonus, now any website that does video can be viewed on your big screen tv without dealing with any casting apps.

I absolutely adored the LCM - it was a highlight of every trip to Seattle. Being able to play Oregon Trail onan Apple IIc, interfacing with punch cards, it was a delight. I had no idea that the whole thing was shutdown on 2020.

I got Hexcodle #375 in 4! Score: 69%

Man, the Republicans have done it again! This Biden fellow sounds like bad news, I don't think I'll be voting for him in November. /s

On a more serious note, was shitting on Biden their only strategy to get Trump reelected? 100% of their effort seems to have gone towards smearing Biden, but now that Kamala has entered the race they cannot pivot at all. (Not that I want them to pivot, please by all means, continue to beat a dead horse)

Note that the rubber band versions tend to work better than the "lock it in place" ones. (Source: I have both)

I'm assuming you own these machines and are forced to pick them open because you lost the key - if so, absolutely get yourself a tubular lock and a cheap bike lock to practice on before going to the coin op. Tubular locks are easier to pick than some padlocks, but they take practice to know how much force to use.

“I can remember this as a young man, when we were arguing about whether or not we should be required to wear seat belts, or if we should wear seat belts,” Robinson continues. “And I can always remember there’d be one person to say, ‘Well, what if I get stuck on a railroad tracks and my seat belt won’t come off?’ Number one, if you are stuck on the train tracks, that is Darwin. That’s not any of my concern. That is Darwin. You saw those train tracks. If you couldn’t get past them, I cannot help you.”

He concludes: “That is not a good argument, see, because in this country, we’re not talking about a bunch of people who go down to the abortion place because they’ve been raped or because they’ve been a victim of incest. We’re talking about a culture that we have created in this society that tells you when you want to feel good, go in there and go lay down and do your thing. If you get in a little trouble, it’s alright to murder somebody to get out of it. It is not — it is not okay.”

First off, this is some sort of logical fallacy here - straw man maybe?

Secondly, isn't wearing a seatbelt now something that conservatives are railing against again?

This is the correct answer. Private IPs are less concerning (on noes now someone knows a network in my homelab is 10.0.0.1/24!) - but absolutely change public IPs in logs.

If it's necessary to reference external users/systems in multiple log files, I'll change the names to user1, user2, server1, db2, etc

Absolutely! My FIL always talks about how much we must hate the student loan forgiveness stuff seeing as we've paid off loans for the better part of 20 years - and I just don't get it.

Yeah, pinching pennies and saving like crazy for a house was not fun, but why would I make someone else go through that if they didn't have to?

Make things better for those who follow us.

I'm in the same boat but for the home purchase. I close next week and had to pinch every penny for the better part of 3 years in order to make my cash to close. The proposed 25k would mean I only have to come up with 3k.

Listen that needs work too, but this is about negotiating lower drug prices, not holistic medical care changes. Something like that would need some significant legislation with significant bipartisan support.

And that is one thing that the Republicans are absolutely not going to do for the Biden administration in an election year (if ever).

Man, Trump has made his point - he convinced me! I'm not going to be voting for Biden in this election.

Does it have Discovery as a normal app store? You might be able to use that.

Honestly, give the terminal a shot - it's not as complicated as you may think.

I would consider using your Synology for what it's good at - storage.

My homelab has a Synology DS1618 and servers are Lenovo M90q systems. They have enough compute to get the job done, and use the Synology NFS mount for storage.
