Astro-Photography… quality of yoyr pictures is:

10% skill 90% how much you spend on equipment.

And this is how GOP holds onto power. Its cartoonish how simple it is.

Mind if u ask how much that cloudflare front end costs you a month for how many hits?

Try nextcloud. It can generate links to files like this.

My PMs are all about time allocation… yet they fail to understand what research is.

Pm: How long until you finish designing and implementing this thing?

Me: I cant put a time on it, weve never done this before and have no points of reference. So i could figure it out today or a month from today…i cant give you a time because its bever been implemented.

PM: Sighs in dissapproval… ill just say 5 business days. Hows that.

Me: if we are just making up numbers, sure

Yes PM is Project Manager

You could always just get the entire list of AWS public ranges and use that to identify interesting traffic… Of course that would vpn all AWS stuff.

If you have a list of domains, you could schedule a script to resolve each to IPs and rebuild your VPN definition every night.

Nope, I never let anything automatically withdraw money. Mistakes are made. And sure, you’ll get your money back from the accidental 10k that was pulled from your account…in 5 to 10 business days, until then you are broke and shit is bouncing.

Great

So lawyers get half right off the bat. Leaves 212 ish million.

This affected how many, let’s say 1 billion users. Your privacy is worth 25 cents.

Oh and let’s not forget google gets to keep that data it illegally collected.

Good. People don’t understand implications until it happens to them. Suddenly they don’t like this security features anymore because it became personal.

We need more people to experience that discomfort

I use a Pi running LibreElec…basically packages OSMC.

Plug it into a smart TV with HDMI and your tv remote can control the Pi OSMC Interface…no need for a separate remote…I was pleasantly surprised at that.

I knew someone who threw away a laptop because the screen broke.

They see junk

I see a new home server with built in ups, just rip off the screen.

Ya. I’m sorry for you.

Problem is, even if you delete the Images, Google has already scraped them for info on you and used your Google account and phone number to tie it all together to further its data aggregation profile on you.

Welcome to the fold.

Been running nextcloud for 8+ years. Love the auto upload and bookmark sharing apps.

The contacts and calendar apps support DAV…I use DAVx on android to sync contacts and calendar to nextcloud …haven’t sync’d to Google. Grab it from FDroid. I have an article on my web blob explaining how to do it.

Remember to backup your cloud data and secure your web portal or run over private vpn.

Oh and go find the php updater script…it’s a life saver.

It does. Or can just send the recorded message to your email as a .wav attachment.

I use this.

I have Ms VoIP as my provider. $1 month per line and 1 cent per min.

I have a grand stream sip adapter… Configured with my providers info and my creds. Phone can plug into it. Works just fine. Plus you can use any sip client to connect to the same line from mobile or PC.

Also, my old house had pots lines in every room. I took my grand stream and wired it into the house, not a phone. So I can plug regular phones into any of the original outlets and it works as it directly connected to the grand stream. I have 4 regular phones all running over original wires into the grandstream using sip

I did it for ya…good luck with your phd

It’s all about privacy.

I am amazed at services offered that run rampant in the home.

My ISP offers fiber. But only if you also sign up for managed wifi where they manage your internal net…no way

I got a quote for solar power…but they must use a 3rd party cloud to manage your power and it uses eth over electrical … If you use eth over electrical already, then it does whatever it wants in your home network …no way.

Cell phones? They all go into a guest wifi…not on my home network.

I want to add 1 thing…graphics drivers have come a long way. Nvidia is a good example where some diatros come pre loaded to support Nvidia…like popOS. Check your vid card for distro compatibility

Universal media server works for me. I run it headless on a small instance. Streams my movies and music just fine.
