Your mother was a hamster and your father smelt of elderberries!

I fart in your general direction!

Those poles snap off surprisingly cleanly, cable and all 😂

You’ll have to break in, then convince whoever shows up ‘it was like that when I got here’.

Hopefully there’s no cameras.

I had a small short hair Pomeranian-Chihuahua mix we called ‘Bear’ (he thought he was big and tough, but only stood 10" tall).

One day he ate an entire pop can. Pulled it out of the recycling, shredded it with his teeth and ate most of the pieces. All he had left was the top when we found him and took it away; he couldn’t quite get through the rolled edge, so he couldn’t break it down enough to swallow.

Somehow, he was perfectly fine. Didn’t go see a vet, wasn’t bleeding or showing signs of pain/illness. We did find a few shiny pieces in his poo while cleaning up the backyard…

Russia’s been actively trying to push their own Telegram replacement called ‘Max’, while throttling access to Telegram to discourage it’s use.

They have outright blocked Telegram before (2018) because they refused to hand over users encryption keys to the FSB. That sparked outrage and protests because of it’s widespread use, and was ultimately overturned because of it’s heavy use even within the Russian government.

The more recent throttling has been causing huge struggles within their own military units because they’ve become dependent on it, as well as struggles with their ability to push propaganda outside Russia.

A lot of ccTLDs get used outside their countries because they’re cheap too.

I’ve got a .pw name (Palau) because it was only 11$.

Specifically; this article is talking about the devices that convert DC power generated by solar panels into AC power that’s supplied to homes.

Seems they’re mostly talking about home installations, but this could effect larger commercial setups too.

Is it truely art if you can’t put it in your ass?

Steal what you can carry and torch the rest.

They probably asked and got back a photocopy of a middle finger.

At least he’ll be put to work.

I’d rather pay to have him in prison potentially making clothes or whatever prison labour is available, vs paying to provide his freedom where he goes and enjoys his time in a theatre acting like a POS.

Even if that financial cost is greater.

Welfare should cut him off too.

Fair points.

I’ve been lucky enough to have never been behind cgnat, so I keep forgetting about it.

My bigger concern with tailscale is being required to install software on the client. Not every device I use, I have permission to install a vpn client, nor would I want to.

For example, I have a fileshare using Filebrowser where I store work related files that I don’t want to loose access to or need access to from multiple machines (non proprietary info, stuff IT/MGT wouldnt get mad at me for ofc. I’ve actually cleared it with my managers, so no worries). That’s also a handy way to (temporarily) share large files with people or provide a way for friends to upload large files to me.

I also like to access my emby server (using sufficiently limited accounts), from things like the TV in the work break room, or a friends PC while I’m visiting.

Tailscale is a hurdle that I just don’t need/want.

Glad I could help. I’m not always immediately available, but I don’t mind answering questions if you run into troubles. Just send me a DM and I’ll do what I can. :)

You don’t need a static IP, you just have to keep track of what your current dynamic IP is.

You can do this with either a free or a paid DNS service.

There are a few different ‘free dns’ services that will delegate a subdomain of theirs to you at no cost. Admittedly, I’ve never actually used one of these so their names escape me. Hopefully someone else can point one of those out if that’s what you really want.

I purchased a domain via google domains, when they existed. It’s now transferred to squarespace, because they bought out google domains a few years ago.

It was around $13/year when I first got it a decade ago. It’s now around $28/year.

This allows me full control over the domain: I can use as many subdomains as I want to give each service I use it’s own unique name. (Instead of using their own separate ports that you’ve gotta remember) My domain will also forward all inbound email to my gmail account; this lets me use email addresses like <servicename>@mydomain.example. This way, I don’t share my real email and can immediately tell who sold my info to the highest bidder when I get spam. (I could also host my own email service if I really wanted, but I haven’t bothered)

Add Cloudflare ontop (for free); and it can filter out known attacks, ddos attempts, geofence your services to regions you’ll actually be in, provide/autorenew ssl certs for https, show you usage analytics, cache static data reducing server/network load, etc.

Ultimately, the paid option is well worth it IMO. $2/month (which I typically pay in 3-10 year blocks) is hardly anything.

/edit; vpns are good and all, but they require you to setup software on the remote device to connect to it, and that typically routes most if not all your traffic back to the vpn server then out to the internet. That can create speed/bandwidth issues.

A domain allows you to access your services from any Internet connection with 0 configuration on the client side. Just accessing it like any other website.

I also host a vpn directly from my network, that I access/find via my domain. This means I’m not dependent on a public service like tailscale, but can still add additional security to access private only services (stuff I don’t expose to the open internet)

It’s a shame he stopped publishing his words to his own blog and just started linking Xitter posts instead. Can’t read 2/3rds of it without making an account - fuck that.

/edit. I decided to at least voice that opinion to him via the contact form on his blog:

Who knows, maybe he’ll improve that aspect.

What in the fuck have these people been smoking…

I can’t think of a less green form of transportation besides perhaps rockets.

for when they do get a license

We asked Valve whether there was any way to keep the project alive: properly licensed, with their blessing, on their terms. They said no.

Valve’s refused to sell them a licence.

There is no ‘when they do get a license’.

Beg forgiveness instead of ask for permission is a gamble. dBrand lost the dice roll.

If I hit somebody that steps into the street then it’s my fault no matter what.

This is not at all true. If someone steps out in front of you with little or no time for you to react, they’re just as much at fault. It will be much easier to argue that you’re to blame, when you’ve intentionally disabled the saftey device that would have alerted them to your presence though.

Even if it was true however: Just because it would be your fault doesn’t mean you should increase the chances of it happening.

Besides, most people wear earbuds when walking around town.

This is entirely your own false perception. Many if not most people don’t wear headphones near traffic, or at least only wear one, so that they can still hear their suroundings.

Regardless; Some people choosing to blockout sounds is no excuse for you putting everyone else in danger.

You should fix this, or you should be cited for willful public endangerment and the vehicle towed+impounded.
