80% of social media is just reposted memes. TF are you talking about...

Just be happy people are enjoying what you've created. It's not like you were being paid for it anyway.

Lmao, you could de-ice the world's roads with all that salt.

You posted an article you didn't write, people reacted to the article (mainly its title), you took people's reactions as a personal attack while simultaneously claiming no responsibility for what people are actually reacting to.

Grow the fuck up.

This 'beating' you're refering to; ie the continued downvotes, is because you continue to act like a god damn child.

To answer your question directly:

Yes, complaining about people reacting to someone else's content you've posted as if they are personally attacking you is incredibly immature.

So is continuing to tantrum about it once your poor behaviour has been explained to you repeatedly.

My employer only sends important notices such as changes to medical benefits and how you access them; via the same email they spam me with ads, coupons, random imternal job offers from across the country....

I had blocked it after 13 spam emails, not knowing its also the official channel for important shit as well.

Ripped it from YouTube last night to add to my media server; curiously it's no longer available on youtube this morning... (at least the original Dudesy upload I'd grabbed, there's re-uploads)

Darkassassin07 , 5 months ago

Just finished it:

It's an interesting piece. I'm not sure I'd pay to watch it or any other AI comedy specials (didn't even watch it via YouTube to avoid ad revenue), but given free access I wanted to at least see what's up.

It both starts and ends with very clear disclaimers that this is not George Carlin but an AI impersonation of him. The voice is pretty close, but not quite right, though it matches his cadence quite well. Even without the disclaimers, it's pretty obvious to me it's not actually George Carlin.

The majority of the video is clearly AI generated art to match the current topic, mostly stills with a handful of short sections of AI people mouthing the words. I'm fairly sure the script and art were curated by a human, along with the overall editing of the special.

Quite a bit of highly political comedy in a very similar style to Carlin, but definitely doesn't hold a candle to his original/genuine work. It also discusses what he/it is, some of the controversy around it's existence, and the possible future of AI use throughout all professions, but mainly standup comedy roles and similar (like talk show hosts and news anchors for example)

Worth a watch, if you can keep an open mind and recognize there's a difference between the original and an artistic representation of him. I don't think the tools used changes that, especially with it clearly stated as being an impersonation.

It's called 'George Carlin: I'm glad that I'm dead'. Have a look around, the original upload was removed, but there are others.

Emby, Jellyfin, and Plex will all detect connection speed, adjust quality settings, and transcode the media to playback without buffering.

I wouldn't recommend Plex. They've been steadily moving away from self-hosted private media servers and towards just serving comercial content to you.

I myself run Emby as I'm rather fond of their development team and their attitude towards privacy. It does require payment for 'emby premier', ie the installable client apps and transcoding features, but it has single payment lifetime licenses as well as monthly.

Jellyfin is a popular open source option that is built on a fork of Embys older open source code before they went closed source.

Either would work for you.

I mean, if you're required to stay there that'd be some mad overtime pay where I'm at: first 8hr at 1xpay, next 4hr at 1.5xpay, then everything after that is 2xpay.

I can't say I wouldn't consider it.

I doubt the regions this may be required in will have such labor friendly laws though...

Somehow I'm not surprised... Fuck Tesla.

Darkassassin07 OP , 5 months ago

Oh fuck.

I just remembered I use cloudflare as my name servers, google (well, Squarespace now) only handles the registration.

I probably don't have to do anything then.

Kinda feel like a moron now...

Darkassassin07 OP , 5 months ago

I'm an idiot.

I already do this. The swap to Squarespace wont actually effect me.

🤦

Darkassassin07 OP , 5 months ago

Idk, but it seems really stupid.

Having not actually looked into it at all:

I'm wondering if they have an api for updating records instead of traditional DDNS. Not the same thing AFAIK.

Either way, I'm already using cloudflare as a nameserver so this shouldn't matter as much as I thought.

Darkassassin07 OP , 5 months ago

Tbh, laziness and lack of need.

I'll probably reconsider once renewal comes around, but that's ~4 years away. Until then, as long as things continue functioning: meh. Doesn't really make a difference.

I was just thinking about this lastnight; I don't fly often, but next time I do, I'll be paying attention to which plane is actually used and avoiding the max.

I've never paid any attention to the plane model before.

Boeing fucked up pretty big with this plane if even those that pretty much never fly are thinking this way.

Darkassassin07 , 5 months ago

But is the option to filter by plane model itself new?

If you're adding a filter so people can avoid a certain plane, it makes sense to add more than one model of plane.

Darkassassin07 , 5 months ago

If this was the first incident with the Max, I'd agree with you.

But repeated issues close together have caused regulators amd the general public to look closer at Boeing as a whole; particularly their inspection, certification, and maintenance practices.
I don't think this will go away easily.

I'm starting to see content like this often:

Yeah, that's a fantastic way to start a fire. Lithium really doesn't like being treated like lead acid...

I'd rather a vehicle that can actually move, but has a lower range vs one that wont start to move at all.

Youtube never knows the private half of your key pair. That never leaves your system.

Anything encrypted with the private half can only be decrypted with the public half, and anything encrypted with the public half can only be decrypted with the private half. These halves are known as the public key and the private key. Each side of the connection generates their own key pairs.

We both generate a set of keys, and exchange the public halves with each other. I then want to send you a message:
I first encrypt it using my private key, I then encrypt it again using your public key and send that to you.

In order to read that message, you first decrypt it using your private key. This ensures the message was intended for you and wasn't modified in transit, as you are the only one with access to that private key and only its matching public key could have been used to encrypt that layer.

You then decrypt it a second time using my public key. As I'm the only one with access to my own private key, you can be sure the message was sent by me.

As long as that resulted in a readable message; You've now verified who sent the message, that it was intended for you, and that the contents have not been modified or read in transit.

All this, including the key exchange is handled for you by the https (tls) protocol every time you connect to a website. Each of the messages sent between you and the site are encrypted in this manner.

Darkassassin07 , 5 months ago

Exactly. Once encrypted with your public key, you're the only one who can decrypt and read it as you are the only one with access to your private key.

Darkassassin07 , 5 months ago

As far as I understand a key pair can be used bi-directionally like I'd described. Was I mistaken?

In practice, the private key is usually used to create signatures instead, but I avoided that for simplicity.

Darkassassin07 , 5 months ago

Nope. Take your rootkit and go fuck yourself with it.

There's absolutely 0 reason a game should ever have kernel access. Ie unrestricted access to every piece of data on the system.

Are they supporting FOSS, or looking to buy out the project to make it a closed in-house solution and avoid the bad publicity they created this last week?

OpenVPN host to keep mobile devices behind pihole and able to access non-public lan services.

Darkassassin07 , 5 months ago

Ah; then host the OpenVPN server from hetzner, the pi as a client, then configure the server to route traffic out through the pi client into your LAN. Your own little vpn tunnel, instead of using something like cloudflare tunnels.

Wan client > Hetzner > pi client > lan service

Darkassassin07 , 5 months ago

I host an openVPN instance from a Debian machine with my phone permanently connected to it.

Keeps my phone within my lan while roaming so it has access to non-public services like pihole, the arr stacks management interfaces, ssh/ftp, etc.
Also keeps my browsing private + secure on public/work wifi.

Only the things I share with others like Emby get exposed to WAN (through a reverse proxy), the rest is VPN/LAN access only.

The sphere looks taller than the cubes.

Perhaps it's a mouldable material like clay to be re-shaped, or hard but to be cut down to a cube on-site.

Darkassassin07 , 5 months ago

But close to the waist height of the people pushing them.

The sphere is closer to shoulder height.

That's.... Just eating them with extra steps.

I setup a second pihole for redundancy.

90% of network traffic uses the primary, but some things like to use both or exclusively the secomd one on random days.

I use Gravity-Sync to keep the settings/lists between them identical. (lots of local dns records for local self-hosted stuff, and each device has a static ip + dns record to identify it easily in logs)

Darkassassin07 , 5 months ago

How do you manage automatically transferring the ip of the main rpi to the backup rpi when the first disappears?

Darkassassin07 , 5 months ago

Don't you then run into MAC conflicts?

How do you keep both on the network?

Darkassassin07 , 5 months ago

Then when the main PI returns it creates a conflict...

If you have control over the host, getting a legit valid cert is trivial.

They're a hosting company. It wouldn't take much for them to temporarily have a vps grab some certs for domains that already point at them. Every hosting company has this power. Few use it.

Darkassassin07 , 5 months ago

I've only heard that name once, and it was when plex blocked them for hosting many plex servers against plexs ToS (selling access to private/pirate libraries).

Darkassassin07 , 5 months ago

DNS based ad blocking does not block video ads served by streaming services. You'll need a modified client specific to the service you want to block ads for to achieve that.

Darkassassin07 , 5 months ago

Not within the network, but translating regular dns to DoH before heading out to WAN keeps your browsing a little bit more private from your isp. Marginal, but it is a difference.

I wrote a bash script a while back that uses sshfs to mount an ssh server to the filesystem, then uses dd to write /dev/mmcblk0 to it as hostname-date.img and finally unmount the ssh server. Cron job runs that daily.

I run that on each of my rpis. (just one rn, but theres been as many as 4 going).

Any time I have an issue, be that my fault or not, I can just pull the sd card and write the last .img to it directly.

There's some extra stuff in there too: it checks for the dependancy sshfs and installs it if missing (for deploying to a new system without reconfiguring), cleans up backups older than x days, logging, and the ability to write the log file as a test instead of the whole filesystem.

Darkassassin07 , 5 months ago

Been working fine for me for several years.

You can have it written to an external drive, or you can use tools like sshfs and ftpfs to mount remote servers as local drives then write to those. I use the sshfs route.

This will create an .img that you can just write directly to an sd card and boot from.

Darkassassin07 , 5 months ago (edited 5 months ago)

Copying the entire drive into a bootable backup using tools like dd is more feasible when you're whole fs is only 8-16gb.

Larger systems often require more selectivity or more sophisticated methods to reduce output size.

You can also pull the card occasionally and backup via another system easier. Some people like this route.

Darkassassin07 , 5 months ago

I've run it on every pi I've used for several years now, though they are typically pretty quiet systems. Usually something like pihole or a reverse proxy. Not much writing going on. I've restored about a dozen of those images and never had an issue.

I also tend to keep 3-6 backups at a time. If the most recent is messed up for some reason, there's others to try. (though I've never actually had to try more than one)

Darkassassin07 , 5 months ago

Theoretically an app could use a custom DoH endpoint to retrieve ads instead of the standard dns provided by the system. As this uses purely https without a preceding dns request, pihole/adguard would fail to block it; but it's just not something currently employed.
