Just like so many other things, I’m sure that bit will be buried.

Unless I misread it, they are denying the security theater approach and insisting that if it’s rolled out, it must include the safeguards, not just saying they promise to have them ready in the next 18 months. Meanwhile other countries seem to be okay with implementing this before the safeguards are in place.

I’ll just patiently wait for the next wave of 0days exploiting it.

Nginx Proxy Manager, really any reverse proxy would be fine, but I’m partial to Nginx.

My town had a guy that loved baseball a long time ago, he had money and wanted it local so he built a baseball field right on the river, made a big park and donated it to the city. He was pretty smart about it and worked the deed so that it would take a two-third vote of the citizens to sell it.

Fast forward to a couple of years ago and the mayor petitioned the governor to change the deed under an NDA as he wanted to lease the park to a minor league baseball team. In the deal he also gave them the naming rights for the park, so the baseball team renamed the park after a local bank that gave them money.

I access it via NPM the same as I access most of the rest of my services. As far as I’ve been able to tell, unauthenticated viewing can happen on Jellyfin, but the person trying to access it will need to know the path that Jellyfin uses to access the media. If you already know my internal file paths, you can watch it from my server I suppose.

I quit using Plex for my own enjoyment a year or two ago when my work decided to block Plex.tv, I can still reach my personal server as it’s accessible to the internet, but I cannot login as that requires being able to access Plex’s authentication servers. At least with Jellyfin I can use my own Authentik instance for auth.

Have you ever bought a game via a Steam key? Those use Steam’s infrastructure for distribution while not providing them (Steam) any income.

As someone that has entered so many Steam keys over the years (over 1,000) yet only bought maybe 20 games from Steam I almost feel bad, but the dev was following the rules and Steam is okay with it (as long as they aren’t selling those keys for less than they can be purchased on Steam for).

Yep. Sell your game for whatever you want wherever you want. If you want to distribute your game via Steam (Steam keys), you can’t sell them cheaper than they are sold on Steam because you aren’t handling the distribution (which costs money).

Otherwise a competing company (like Ubisoft) could just make a 20TB game, list it on steam for a crazy price, then sell Steam keys for it on another storefront cheap; Steam will have to cover the distribution costs without making anything in return.

Amazing job and beautifully written! Now I kind of want one of these speakers lol.

I remember reading about a kid making one of these over a decade ago, I’m not sure what this one is using but I think the other person used microphones to track the wingflaps and burn them. I always wondered what would happen to the project…

Or the guy that suicided himself in his apartment in London, thankfully he was considerate enough to wipe his phone and lock himself in a suitcase in the bathtub after though.

That sounds so much better than spending hours in calls with Microsoft engineers that don’t ever seem to make the progress we set out to do.

Its only good for one trip at a time and costs a jet to use, but hell yeah!

This is the best option when dealing with companies like MS. Some companies actually use reports, issue CVEs, acknowledge shit… MS does not, fuck them. Sell the 0day to a company that will go on to sell it to a state actor, MS will patch it eventually but you won’t be treated like shit to keep it under the rug.

I love the idea but already did the work manually. Keep up the work on it no matter what anyone says, I could see this being badass to someone that has good access to a crapload of disc’s.

Symbolic links for the win!

Unlimited Usenet plans are pretty cheap to depending on sales.

Edit to add: I’m not a quality snob, but I’d probably blow through 500GB way too quickly.

Exactly why I’d like to shift my life. I’m not looking for profits, just time away from my desk lol.

I love mint, but much prefer LMDE over the Ubuntu based one.

Wanna be a goat farmer with me (https://www.goatops.com/) ? I’ve been in IT for 20 years or so and when I first saw that goat list maybe 10-15 years ago it gave me a chuckle, then over the years it made more sense and became a goal. Not necessarily goats, but something entirely separate from IT; for now I’m stuck trying to earn a bit of a retirement, but my eye is on the door.

There is still some good IT stuff to be done though. I have a homelab that I use to avoid Google where I can (degoog/nextcloud/immich/etc), and keep my data indoors as much as possible…

When the doctor is late I tell them they missed their appointment time and will need to reschedule, then I enjoy the time I took off work for an appointment. It doesn’t happen often, but if it hits 10 minutes past when they should be seeing me, I assume they overbooked themselves and won’t be giving me the attention I’m paying them for; we can reschedule.
