  • India's proposed phone security rules that are worrying tech firms

    Jump

  • From the same government who brought you the mandated spyware app with access to all your phone?

    ETA - there’s good stuff mixed in with bad here. Losing control of the device (version restrictions) isn’t good and those audit logs are creepy.

  • That would be lovely.

  • Happy New Year

  • I originally thought James Brown was in that year, but he died shortly after I saw him perform in 2005! A great artist, and a horrible human.

    Human perception of time is weird.

  • Warehouses are not a place to put people. Let’s just get that out of the way up front. People need natural light, windows, and privacy.

  • Those who are hosting on bare metal: What is stopping you from using Containers or VM's? What are you self hosting?

    Jump

  • Pure bare metal is crazy to me. I run proxmox and mount my storage there, and from there it is shared to machines that need it. It would be convenient to do a pass through to TrueNAS, for some of the functions it provides but I don’t trust that my skills for that. I’d have kept TrueNAS on bare metal, but I need so little horsepower for my services that it would be a waste. I don’t think the trade offs of having TrueNAS run my virtualisation environment were really worth it.

    My router is bare metal. It’s much simpler to handle the networking with a single physical device like that. Again, it would be convenient to set up opnsense in a VM for failover. but it introduces a bunch of complexity I don’t want or really need. The router typically goes down only for maintenance, not because it crashed or something. I don’t have redundant power or ISPs either.

    To me, docker is an abstraction layer I don’t need. VMs are good enough, and proxmox does a good job with LXCs so far.

    Why would I spin up a VM and virtual network within that vm and then a container when I can just spin up a VM?

    I’ve not spent time learning Docker or k8s; it seems very much a tool designed for a scale that most companies don’t operate at let alone my home lab.

  • Happy New Year

    Jump

  • Maybe it’s my age bracket and rose colored glasses but I feel that 2015 was a good year. (My personal situation has improved since, but that’s just part of gaining seniority).

    Remember all the famous people who died in 2016? They took a good exit.

  • “Nice” and “kind” seem mutually exclusive with being an Exclusion and Removal ICE terrorist.

    “Committed, conservative Christian” is supposed to welcome immigrants but who listens to that Jesus guy right? Certainly not Christians.

  • Putin's preferred candidate steals his oil

    Jump

  • Just more sowing of dissent.

  • Anyone else having side effects while using GLP-1 prescription drugs?

    Jump

  • Purely anecdotal but Mike Israetel had some arguments for waaaay lower doses than what is prescribed. Talk to your doctor of course. I think this might be be the video. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=matVhd7k25w

  • What are good options for self hosting home security camera?

    Jump

  • Any ONVIF/ RTSP camera is probably going to work but I still keep them segregated from the Internet.

    Motion triggered recording works fine to a SD card on many cameras. I’m so far happy with Reolink.

    For remote access look into Tailscale.

  • Ignoring the internet bill itself, how many paid online services do you have?

    Jump

  • DNS and email hosting.

    Almost half of all Germans want a ban on fireworks

    Jump

  • Fuck the pigs and all but that doesn’t change the environmental impact both acute and long term which is bad, and the noise pollution is awful, and they’re dangerous to people beyond the police, so on balance I’m done with fireworks.

    Also Diwali and some other days are randomly a new fireworks-all-night thing and the fire service is in an uproar about it.

  • New York's incoming mayor bans Raspberry Pi at inauguration

    Jump

  • Sensationalist headline, I doubt very much he’s got anything to do with the security. NYPD should be named and shamed instead.

    They just don’t want to be caught with their stingrays.

  • Which browser and search engine would you recommend for parents and older people?

    Jump

  • The default one on the OS, with chrome also installed, both with uBlock origin. Keep it simple.

  • TIL: The word Vatnik is used in Russia and other post-Soviet states for steadfast jingoistic followers of propaganda from the Russian government.

  • THIS is so true. Always have the wife/GF make color decisions

    Jump

  • Painting a wall is not difficult. I cannot fathom spending even a fraction of that to have someone paint! You need $50 in tools, a drop sheet, a steady hand, and patience.

  • Anyone miss all the colors?

    Jump

  • Paging through the 80s and 90s car colour options for somewhat mainstream cars like bmw is crazy in comparison to today. Sure they were the expensive paint option but there were hundreds.

    There’s some awful colours today (eg you can get 3 shades of grey, red, or the precise shade of yellowish green that a newborn infant leaves in their diaper for a Prius). I say - at least it’s a colour.
