If you haven't played Enderal it's worth a playthrough. It's a free total conversion mod of Skyrim.

I'm using a commercial desktop with an i5 Sandy bridge. I maxed out to 32Gb of ram only because I'm running trueNAS, debian with containers, and home assistant. Most RAM goes to trueNAS and trueNAS doesn't accurately report ram. For CPU, mostly just task limited but I don't really think thats a proxmox issue. Obviously it's not going to support an enterprise or even small business but it works for what I need of less than 4 users on my budget.

Proxmox doesn't really ask for much but I probably would recommend docker for your arm devices.

Sounds like do not track +

Not a professional and you should reach out to a dog trainer if possible.

In the meantime, negative reinforcement will not give you the desired responses. You could end up increasing reactiveness, justifying their behavior or having them only fear and listen when you're around.

Instead a lot of the basic rules of parenting a toddler applies. Positive reinforcement and distraction techniques are preferred from trainers I've worked with. Treating the chewing is easier than responding to the aggression. But training overall will help both.

If you have something they want more, they should give up what they took.

  • Training them the leave it command can be helpful.
  • see if you can get more toys or other things they want to chew. Chewing can be a sign of boredom.
  • It may be substantially easier to train in a more neutral environment, indoors, on leash, etc (such as a room they don't normally go in)
  • as others said, keep items out of reach. Only give him things they enjoy when they are in their space (such as a create or room)

This article has some information about possessive aggression that seems to provide good information.

I called my ISP after they bumped prices by $5/month (and told me a single time on the fine print at the bottom of the PDF e-bill of their shitty app). I threatened to switch to their competition and they told me flat out "no you won't they're not as fast and you're not going to break even on setup fees for years".

How do you go back to the character selection menu without creating a new character that you're stuck with for 18+ years? I wanna reroll with the wealthy traits.

Cheap earphones won't hurt your ears. Volume is the only real source of damage to your ears.

If you are genuinely curious, theres a collection of articles published by the Atlantic. It deals with the US but seems relevant to your question.

However, 41% of Brits use unsecured Wi-Fi if given the opportunity, a report by NordVPN found.

Last I read IBM was one of the big companies pursuing R&D in quantum computers and such plus they have some software stuff like crimestat and the weather channel under their umbrella.

I don't think it's an issue to remove part of the web. I've got spiders outside that tend to keep blocking the entryway and I have to destroy parts that get in the way of the path. They're usually back within a day or so.

For a more solid answer, the link below describes moving spiders entirely by relocating part of the web with the spider. I think trimming the web is going to be less stressful than that.

Fitch downgraded the U.S. credit rating due to fiscal concerns, a deterioration in U.S governance, as well as political polarization reflected partly by the Jan. 6 insurrection, Richard Francis, a senior director at Fitch Ratings, told Reuters on Wednesday.

For the United States to have its rating upgraded there would need to be a combination of factors, such as a stabilization of debt to GDP, and possibly a permanent suspension of the debt ceiling, said Francis.

Have you checked and enabled hardware acceleration?

Support and troubleshooting steps are dependent on your GPU and OS.

I'm happy with proxmox in a non-production environment/homeLab. Stable and straightforward.

Just found out from your comment that windows is shutting the door completely on CPUs that don't support POPCNT. There's config settings to install Windows 11 on legacy hardware (old CPU, tpm chips, etc) but who knows when they'll pull the plug on that.

Powerline adapters use the ac electrical outlets to run Ethernet. It's not as good or cheap as just Ethernet cables but it's usually better than wifi.

If space isn't an issue, getting a cheap office surplus machine like a Dell Optiplex SFF line for ~$100 US vs the USFF so that it supports low profile PCI-E for a hba card for more storage, or nvidia quadro p400 for better encoding at like $30-50.

It will probably use a bit more wattage, especially with more HDDs, but still should be around 50w idle for even the old systems.

Why not just have them email sealed bids?

Cloudflare has DDoS protection but it can't stop everything 100% of the time. According to the admins, the attackers are very familiar with how lemmy works and are using this knowledge to overwhelm resources. This isn't just a simple script kiddy or bonnet for hire but likely points to someone that has worked within the lemmy community.

A simple thing you can do is be informed on what data google is tracking on your phone.

If you are signed into a Google account on your phone, you should check your Google dashboard: https://myaccount.google.com/intro/dashboard and make sure to turn off any tracking you don't want. You can also request your data is deleted through the dashboard or through Google takeout.

If you stay with the built in OS and you can also get away from a Google account (don't sign into a Google account on the phone), you're tracked less, but that's a bit challenging for many.

What your trying to do is a big overkill if you want only one device to connect to a VPN.

Your VPN installed on your raspberry pi should have a "local network sharing" option. Based on some blogs mullvad had some issues with hostname and network shares (as of 07/2022) and you should try to connect via IP address if you're having trouble.

Local network sharing only works on the same subnet (IP address of your computer, Pi, and TV should have the first 3 parts of the IP match, ex: 192.168.4.xxx not 192.168.x.xxx).

If you're trying to SSH to the Pi when not connected to the same network it's going to be much more difficult.

If all above fails, this GitHub issue suggests advanced split tunneling setup on the Pi so that it can listen for SSH locally.

I setup openvpn on my network originally + duckdns on a dynamic IP in 2021/2022. It's an "older" protocol but I felt it was easier to setup since it's been around longer and the tools just make it easy.

Wireguard has speed advantages but being newer, takes more work to see those speed advantages. There's a docker container called wg-easy that I've heard mixed things about (speed in a docker container vs easy to setup).

I used tail scale when I rebuilt my VPN server because I was originally using Oracle Linux (wanted to learn it more but went back to Ubuntu).

If you can get certificates working, wireguard shouldn't be too difficult. I prefer VPN over exposing multiple ports/protocols for a family or small userbase. If you're sharing libraries or other services with extended family, I'd probably expose those to the Internet and work on hardening/having that server in a demilitarized zone + certificate based authentication and MFA on any public admin accounts.

I bought the GL-AR750S a while ago and kept it stock. It's a customized version of OpenWrt with an "advanced mode" that lets you get into what I believe is just the regular wrt configuration portal.

I didn't have anything that the router couldn't do from VPN to repeating to spoofing Mac to get through cafe-style portals at hotels.

Looking at their website, it looks like their newer models still use wrt https://openwrt.org/toh/gl.inet/start.

Most are designed for the cover to move to the side when deployed but some are designed to split in some way that could cause the rhinestones to come free.

Coming from someone who uses neither currently but has used Facebook before, I think it's more to do with the fact that people are used to Facebook, Google and other companies collecting data. Facebook does a ton of lobbying to tell you just how much they value privacy.

Facebooks data policies are supposed to follow US law. As you already mentioned, I won't go any further on that. With a foreign country that isn't exactly super friendly with the US, they could use this same data against citizens. You have no real GDPR, or US privacy laws to protect you if China decides to target a diplomats family or whatever.

For most people, it's probably not going to affect you either way, but because data is something we really don't understand the full value of. As an Example, ethnic groups could be targeted and tiktok can be used as a data source.

With the whole Facebook being used to potentially manipulate elections, Tiktok could be as well and the US/other countries have even less they can do to stop it.

But a lot of the hate that you're seeing on the news is playing into China bad and not really casting light that they are okay with US companies collecting the same data.

My choices are Verizon FiOS and Xfinity. I'd rather stay with FiOS than move to 5G because I do have some applications that benefit from 1% highs being <20ms ping. Plus when I looked at 5G the pricing was still around that $40-50 range for a decent line of service.

It's just annoying because FiOS has a "2 year price guarantee" for new subscribers but is shafting my prices after 12 months. Xfinity is ~$5 cheaper but setup fees are ~$200 and I have to buy my own modem if I don't want to pay the $10-20 rental fee. All that assumes Xfinity doesn't raise their rates in 2 years.
