Just another reminder that you don't own anything digital - companies do. Forgo these cheap cloud products, use hardware that you can control

Non- phone carrier variants of Google Pixels because of Grapheme OS. The crap that Verizon pumps out blocks the boot loader to be unlocked, but the ones google and amazon sells can do OEM boot loader unlocks.

Edit: also want to point out, pixels usually get the most updates out of all androids. So long as its in the support window, google will update drivers and kernels for it.

My GF lives by a mosque where they blast their off-tone, lazy chants at full blast. Its awful. Its so loud it rattles her windows. Apparently its to evangelize, but I can't imagine anyone getting swayed when their ear drums burst from poorly toned chants.

If you want something like Mac, use elementary os.

I did this in college with windows 7. I don't think it works on 10, but could be mistaken.

I was just thinking about this the other day...like games are optized for windows usually, but windows is not optimized for games. A fresh Windows 10 runs at 2gb ram on idle. It all went down hill for gamers when Microsoft killed xp

People do play games offline. Personally, I don't care about achievements. They mean nothing to me, except knowing that the game developer is tracking my play through, which I hate.

Just always browse incognito/private. I haven't gotten hit yet. I strive for a leave no cookies behind type browser.

Ahh getting those brain worms to make spice I see.

Chatgpt is good for code reviews. I wouldn't trust it for making code though.

Look for something that can do rtsp streaming. Reolink, amcrest, ect. Its all cheap Chinese cameras that almost definitely dial out to some Chinese server.

What I do is have all cameras connected on a wireless router with no internet, use zoneminder on a Linux that is connected to my home network via Ethernet and the camera network via WiFi, and allow https into my home network from my VPN

If libre/open office isn't your thing, there's always cloud based ones like office365 and google docs.

I also found this. Never heard of some of these things, so I can't really recommend them.

You can also use ms word in wine if you're writing. However; if you're opening docs from the internet, I wouldn't recommend opening them up in anything running in wine. Remember, wine is a windows emulator based on windows 2000.

Grsecurity stopped providing their kernel patches for free years ago. The alpine grsec patches are years old -- like before spectre/meltdown. Don't use them. Just use hardenedbsd/netbsd/openbsd.

On most of my fresh installs, i usually install Tinywall, 7zip, and then a different browser like Firefox and chromium based browsers (like mull/brave)

Oh now that I think about it, it was the accessibility executable, not sticky keys.

I got a onexplayer for like $600 and it has the 7840u in it. No matter how you slice it, the 7840u is much more powerful than the steam deck. However, it doesn't do well in low tdp. That's what the steam deck is best at - low tdp gaming and battery life.

But so long as I'm near an outlet, I can play more AAA games and on much higher resolution and graphics than the steam deck for however long I'd like. On battery, only about 3-4 hours vs 6-8 hours on a steam deck.

Yes, but it was loaded with self made blanks. He probably messed up the blanks and it shot some shrapnel.

Personally, I'd advise to use opnsense over pfsense. Opnsense kernels are more up to date, and the devs are less toxic.

Ipfire is a Linux alternative that is easy to use, just no otp.

I've got a t620, and am using it as a firewall. It has aes-ni so I can generate certs. Plus it has a pcie slot, so I threw a nic in there. Its powerful for around the same price as a raspberry pi is going these days. I think I got it for about $80 plus $10 or $15 for the nic.

Memory eternal

Good find! I want to test this out this weekend :)

More like google searches and a lot of CTL+c and CTL+v

Source?

Mostly, its my own personal choice / preference.

When I see chatgpt spun up code, sometimes its rock solid. Sometimes it uses weird logic that is hard to follow. I prefer it to review my code, rather than review its.

I'm kind of partial to how military concepts use cases for ai. Like anything that can do damage or complex tasks must be done by a human. Mediocre tasks, I can see a use for it.

Like for instance, write a code to automate scheduling jobs to backup multiple systems using this fileset to backup or skip I'd feel OK to let ai do. They should all be basically the same. But to script code that is critical to infrastructure and/or complex I feel it is not the right tool to use.

Edit: all LLMs are basically the same imo. The github one might have access to more code though, idk never used it. If it does look at private repos, then I'd say it would be better, but honestly I think they're about the same.

In the realm of firewall applications, i use the following: ° Ipfire is easy to use, but lacks ipv6 support and it doesn't have otp. It has lots of packages though.

° Alpine is good, if you don't want a GUI or want to spend time figuring out how to build a web ui (really good for beginners as its mostly xml)

° openwrt is good fit for low end hardware (SPARC or arm processors mostly) but also works on x86.

° opnsense - like pfsense, but more up to date. Has some quirks in it (like if you block both incoming and outgoing, but just want to allow 80/443, the rules look weird...like the direction you have to allow is in, but destination is 80/443. Very strange bug that isn't in pfsense).

° hardenedbsd firewall - literally just opnsense but with hbsd's fully patched kernel. No repo though.

That being said, you can make any distro a firewall, just use iptables/pf/ipfw/ipfilter rules through command line, and you can add anything in that distros repo you can think of.

I mean, if I buy a game on steam and valve goes belly up, how do I retain my games? Game companies were all too eager to stop selling physical discs for PC games and instead give you a code for you to redeem. And you can't sell it after you play it like with console games, because it goes against most PC game companies' terms of service (edit - ...to sell your account)

If you buy a security camera that is only available through the cloud and the company stops paying for the cloud service, all you have is a paper weight

I think the main reason Firefox isn't on there is because redox os doesn't use Wayland and x11. Porting firefox would be a massive effort unfortunately.

But can it play doom?

For me, its the way they used procedural generation. Like its literally the same exact points of interests on every planet.

I remember going to a planet full of high level fauna and discovering a cave where you find a dead pirate that says these things are everywhere ahhhh. I thought it was cool. Next planet I went to had no fauna, and sure enough that same cave and dead pirate was in there saying the same thing with absolutely no fauna or enemy NPCs in there.

Its like they made 20 unique assets for the procedural generation tool to pick from. This is the exact laziness I found and drove me away from ESO. Just the same experience, with maybe a different faction here and there but the same points of interest over and over.

Other than that, I liked it. Basically skyrim in space. But very empty and they forced you complete like a 2 -3 hour mission before stuff opened up to you. And another 20 or so hours before a mission locked skillset is introduced. Huge waste of time IMO.

Its an alright game if you have a lot of time to kill.

Its about the same difference, but you can definitely tell the difference between 1600p and 720p.

But the add-on isn't sandboxed like in chrome. Like i remember, depending on if you use an external MAC like apparmor or not, where if you're runnimg in Linux and you're using Firefox, websites could steal your ssh keys from ~/.ssh/

Malicious addons or websites could easily do the same thing, and steal your bitwarden credentials. Unless you have the premium version, you can't put otp on it.

Jesus Christ is better than that girl (or guy) that said they would die for you Jesus Christ did actually died for you. Jesus Christ's love is real.

Can't put a number on it, but I'd wager it happens the majority of the time
