As an adult, we do too, and it also negatively impacts us. When I left the other social platforms I took the time to uninstall or disable many notifications, I now receive a total of 5 a day on average. It's good to see these conversations happening though, whether we react and change though only time will tell.

I agree. I am someone who values their privacy and often does not like opt-out style analytics however I also know opt-in skews analytics. The way the searches are only categorized, and they are using Oblivious HTTP keeping IP addresses private makes me A-OK with this.

XLink Kai? I remember it from late 2000s, I don't know much about it now.

Unless I missed something, the article states as follows

Another method of bypassing the account lockdown still exists. You simply have to enter OOBE\BYPASSNRO in the command prompt during the Windows 11 setup process, which allows you to skip the connection to the Internet and thus also the link to a Microsoft account.

Quickly skimming the readme, it states:

  • OAuth token spoofing: To circumvent rate limits imposed by Reddit, OAuth token spoofing is used to mimick the most common iOS and Android clients. While spoofing both iOS and Android clients was explored, only the Android client was chosen due to content restrictions when using an anonymous iOS client.
  • Token refreshing: The authentication token is refreshed every 24 hours, emulating the behavior of the official Android app.
  • HTTP header mimicking: Efforts are made to send along as many of the official app's headers as possible to reduce the likelihood of Reddit's crackdown on Redlib's requests.

It's a relatively low performance hit and it benefits me when having to replace a failing/old disk. I can just toss the drive without having to erase the data first, that is as long as the key is a secure length.

I fixed it for you.

Take a look at RSS-Bridge and RSSHub. They provide feeds for many websites that don't provide their own RSS feed.

I just want a vehicle game that is open world, with roads and trails, the vehicles don't have to be licensed. I just want to travel and explore, basically a road trip simulator. The Crew, Forza Horizon, and NFS Heat/Unbound are the closest I can get, I don't care for the density, just distance. This is why I know that it will never be a reality, because without having mechanics, would make the game boring to many.

Basically a remake or continuation of Fuel (2009), I really enjoyed the vastness of the world, it wasn't anything really special, but to me I had so much fun exploring and seeing the distance of the massive world(5,560 square miles/14,400 square kilometers). The many regions around the map were diverse and there was 16 player multiplayer where others just popped in and out as you moved around, I didn't really care for it much, but it was fun for group road trips or adventures.

Not that it helps but the CEO claims they forgive for this type of attack/event. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=39521986

Netlify CEO here.

Our support team has reached out to the user from the thread to let them know they're not getting charged for this.

It's currently our policy to not shut down free sites during traffic spikes that doesn't match attack patterns, but instead forgiving any bills from legitimate mistakes after the fact.

Apologies that this didn't come through in the initial support reply.

And later they were asked if they would have responded if it didn't go viral. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=39522029

Question:

There are only two questions everyone have:

  1. Would Netlify forgive the bill if this didn't go viral?

  2. How do you plan to address this issue so that it never happens again?

Everyone here knew someone from Netlify would come and say OP wouldn't have to pay. That was a given. Now we want to know the important answers.

Answer by CEO:

  1. Yes. We've forgiven lots and lots of bills over the last 9 years and they haven't gone viral

  2. While I've always favored erring towards keeping people's sites up we are currently working on changing the default behavior to never let free sites incur overages

Hello, I went through and wrote down all the applications and services from the image, enjoy.

There was a point I had a minimum of one service from each category of the awesome-selfhosted repo. I've since scaled down to a more minimal approach, but still enjoy looking for new services to try out.

Monitoring is one that's interesting, graphs can be fun to look at though, so Grafana for that, and it's fun for family to see, even if they don't exactly know what it means, lines and charts are pretty.

I have since setup most of my monitoring to only alert if there is something that is unusual or outside of some threshold. Previously I had it alert me when a process or script had finished, however it was too noisy, and instead now it checks to make sure the script succeeded and if it didn't to alert me.

I use names of mice from popular movies and TV shows. I use this list.

I know it's not useful, but it's fun to me. I would never use it in a professional environment.

Isn't that what they did? https://www.knockoutcity.com/private-server-edition#section-download

From the article:

There's one thing, however, that Harrison recommends studios do above all others when sunsetting a live service game: let players keep playing the game on their own servers. Before shutting down Knockout City, Velan released the game as a standalone Windows executable with private server support. It's still available to download.

That's a good recommendation, thanks!

There's even an RSS feed for that page: https://openwrt.org/feed.php?mode=list&ns=advisory

You can still use old.reddit.com

There are also some of us that are/were trying and experimenting with different types of the fediverse, such as Lemmy, Kbin, Mastodon, Firefish, Pixelfed, etc. I have found myself gravitating toward Firefish, and Mastodon for the feed style, where as Lemmy, and Kbin are better as a forum or Pixelfed for image feeds.

According to them DuckDuckGo largely sources Bing, however they also have their own crawler called DuckDuckBot.

While this wouldn't work for you now, something to think about is encrypting new drives going forward so that you don't have to worry about erasing/zeroing them, just toss the encryption key and your good to go.

So, I just walk into the film studios lobbies(Everyone of them) and ask them for an Ethernet cord, I proceed to connect my NAS to it and download every movie released by that same film studio. I've never had an issue from them.

Because, everything on the internet is true, right? Maybe I posted a totally false statement because it sounds good on the area of the internet I posted, or maybe I didn't make a totally inaccurate and false statement and want everyone to know how amazing it is. The world will never know!

I like that they show the team on the About Us page, always makes me trust companies more. I also like that they have fun with the branding and mascot.

I guess, my primary concern was if I didn't have the computer with ZFS(in my case btrfs but similar thing). Maybe it is for the best that I keep the raid setup to scrub and make sure important data is safe, and use the smaller single disk mini PC for services and data that isn't as important.

Unsplash hosts stock photography. The feature would grab an image every day so that the wallpaper would be different.

That is a very good question, it makes me think of better organization for my data. Data such as task lists, and daily notes aren't necessarily very important, while family photos and documents would be more important.

I've used Namecheap for several years, no problems experienced with it.

June 1st, 2023 = 102 days

~53 W

  • Server:

    • AMD Ryzen 5 5600G
    • 4x16 GB DDR4 3200 Mhz
    • 256 GB NVMe as boot-disk
    • 2x256 GB Samsung SSDs for VMs
    • 2x2 TB WD Red Plus HDDs
  • Mini PC: Beelink S12 N95

    • 16 GB DDR4
    • 256 GB NVMe
  • 8 port unmanaged TP Link switch

I would like to expand my storage, however I don't have any available SATA ports and I believe adding an HBA would increase the idle draw about 8 W. I might just upgrade the SSDs and split the storage between the HDDs and SSDs.

That looks quite interesting, I will take a look at it further. It might just scratch my itch enough.

I was suggested to look at ProtonDB, and it looks like all my games will work fine. I will be giving it all a test in the coming days.

You are correct, all two-character TLDs are country-code.

Thanks, this makes me feel much better about it.

Yeah, Debian has older firmware found in the firmware-amd-graphics package which doesn't include the firmware. You'll need to download it from https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/firmware/linux-firmware.git/ I believe anything from linux-firmware-20231030 and newer should work.

20231030 tag: https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/firmware/linux-firmware.git/tree/amdgpu?h=20231030 or newest(20240410) tag: https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/firmware/linux-firmware.git/tree/amdgpu?h=20240410

These files need to be placed in /lib/firmware/amdgpu/

We can try to break it down a little. Work notifications are not very exciting, so it probably doesn't give us a dopamine hit, however the notifications could be stressful if they are always about work and timelines. Study might be beneficial, it really depends on if it is a reminder or wants us to perform an action. Play varies widely, from a notification that a friend is or wants to play a game, to a developer has posted their weekly digest of what's been happening, these tend to give us dopamine as well as they can be interesting to learn about what's happening.

I live on the more unstable side, I like Debian Unstable/Sid. I also recommend Siduction as it's based on Debian Unstable.

I love the positivity!

That's interesting! I wonder if they are locking down factory installations.

About a month ago I was able to do it with a fresh install of Pro in a VM, I'll do a quick test and see if it works on Home...and it works too. I had to disconnect the network and then run the OOBE\BYPASSNRO command, it rebooted and gave me the continue without network and limited setup options.
