  • What skill did you learn that was not worth the effort?

    Jump

  • I had to learn himem.sys and loadhigh when I was about 10 years old and the family PC HDD crashed. I had a copy of DOS and a manual the size of a phone book. The only way out was to write my own boot disk.

    But yes, these days it's a bit of a useless skill.

  • YouTube now requires creators to have twice as many watch hours to start earning money

    Jump

  • I got "removed" from adsense around 2005. There had better not be ads on my vids.

  • Amid RAM price hikes, Microsoft reportedly raises Windows license cost, forcing OEMs to hike prices even further on hardware

    Jump

  • They're doing it to cover the losses on the same AI investments that spiked RAM prices.

  • Chinese-Made Zbtlink Routers Ship With Backdoor That Opens Unauthenticated Root Shells

    Jump

  • That flag. Ugh.

    There was a time when by facebook wall was plastered with AI slop articles, and all of them had flags chucked in like this.

  • Ungate — use your Claude/ChatGPT subscription in Cursor instead of paying for API tokens

    Jump

  • If you're looking to avoid burning tokens, perhaps just learn to code.

  • 2027 RAM Capacity Has Reportedly Been Sold out

    Jump

  • There is zero adware in Android (AOSP). Unfortunately manufacturers tend to install Gooogle Play Services, which compromises the whole device.

  • Can't trust the C button.

    Jump

  • It wasn't always like this.

    I swear every version of Windows between 3.11 and XP was 100% reliable. Then it just started... slipping.

    What's weird is that it often works on the second try.

  • You make $65,000 (USD 🤢) in a dead end career...

    Jump

  • I would totally start a side hustle if I was set up like this. I'd be thinking of a project where immediate ROI didn't matter, and I could take as long as I want before it produces an income.

  • What is your favorite TV show of all time?

    Jump

  • The Simpsons.

    I grew up at a time when it was the only good show on TV. Now I know 10 seasons of it by rote.

  • Microsoft warns hackers are targeting hotel Wi-Fi networks: What to know

    Jump

  • NTP, DHCP, SNMP, FTP, SSH

    • NTP just tells you time. No confidential data here.
    • DHCP and SNMP dont go over the internet. A VPN won't save you from this.
    • FTP is dead. Not even web browsers support it anymore.
    • SSH is already encrypted. In some cases, it can literally be used as a VPN.

    Wireshark is useless on WPA3. Although hotel wifi typically doesn't use it.

    SNI is encrypted with ECH.

    I disabled plaintext SMTP on my mail server years ago. Requiring TLS actually reduced spam by 99%. No reputable mail server will use plaintext.

    Almost nothing uses plain HTTP. The only thing I typically see is my phone's internet connectivity check, which simply returns an HTTP 204 (No content). It's practically a ping.

    HTTPS + DoH is enough because all of these problems are solved.

  • Microsoft warns hackers are targeting hotel Wi-Fi networks: What to know

    Jump

  • You're routing all your traffic through a single inspection point. They too can scrape anything that isn't HTTPS. They can list every site you visit without DoH.

    Corporations are just as unaccountable as ISPs and governments.

  • Should you normalize RGB values by 255 or 256?

    Jump

  • So, it's basically saying that anything less than 1/256 (0.00390625f) is 0x0.

    Anything equal to or over 0.99609375 (255/256) should be 0xff.

    Divide by the count (256), not the max index (255). I'm not sure the 0.5 offset is really needed.

  • Samsung bans smart TV apps that share users' internet connections with strangers

    Jump

  • In Oceania, "overseas" and "foreign nation" are interchangeable.

  • I ran a residential proxy once. Someone abused it and the police came.

  • Microsoft warns hackers are targeting hotel Wi-Fi networks: What to know

    Jump

  • I don't think anything can monitor or mess with your local web traffic once you have encrypted DNS.

    VPNs don't add any privacy over HTTPS+DoH. Installing CA certs and whatnot is insane.

    Stop getting your opsec advice from influencers on youtube. It's snake oil.

  • Should you normalize RGB values by 255 or 256?

    Jump

  • #FF0000 is red because 0xFF is 255. 256 is 0x100 and is not a thing.

  • 2 of my 4x 4TB spinning drives are portable. 2 in mirrored raid, and on-site backup, and an off-site backup. If you don't have it on 3 drives across two sites, you don't have it. 5400RPM is fine as long as you allocate some of that NVMe as a cache for it. Keep all high-transaction stuff like databases, thumbnail caches and indexes on the NVMe drive. Going to 7200RPM just increases power consumption and noise, and reduces reliability.

    The other specs seems fine, but I personally upgrade my desktop then take the old CPU, RAM and motherboard to use for my server.

    Immich and Nextcloud run fine on my 2015 Core i5 with 16GB RAM.
