Fuck that shit. DDWRT on Asus works great for me

LordCrom ,

Many times stupid web pages don't load.... Call support and I'm told it only works in chrome.

Can't get away from it

LordCrom ,

Exactly what I do

LordCrom ,

Is that correct? Id.me can suck it... Forcing us to use a 3rd party with all private info and multiple pictures of your face for racial shit..... terrible

LordCrom ,

Well that sucks.

I will not give any 3rd party private corp all my personal info and pictures of my face for facial recognition. IRS already has this info, that should be good enough

LordCrom ,

99 percent of people won't care, won't understand, or just be part of the mindset of why be scared if we have nothing to hide.

Only us techs will care

LordCrom ,

Replace syncing to Google contacts and Google calendar with webDAV and calDAV to next cloud.

I run next cloud in my garage. DAVx is free from F-Droid app store. Setup is easy. And you don't need Google accounts to store contacts and calenda in your home cloud

LordCrom ,

I'm convinced VMware started downhill when they dropped the hard windows client for the web based admin panel.

They claimed it was for multi os compatibility.... But they wrote the thing using ActiveX.
For the youngsters, ActiveX shit was Internet Explorer and M.S. only. So the idiots wrote a UI that still only worked in Windows, and was now 5 times slower than the thick client.

BTW, I run proxmox clusters in my garage. Its awesome

LordCrom ,

Well shit. That explains alot

LordCrom ,

To execute this you need a DHCP server on the network.... But any admin worth his salt has a config on the switch to limit DHCP traffic to a designated server.

Seems extremely difficult to pull off in any corporate environment

LordCrom ,

For shits and giggles I used to sit on those wifis and run a mitm...I would replace all images with the troll face meme...then sit back and watch the confusion. So ya

LordCrom ,

The mere fact that we can stop scorching the earth for lithium and cobalt is enough.

All the ways streaming services are aggravating their subscribers this week (arstechnica.com)

Below is a look at the most exasperating news from streaming services from this week. The scale of this article demonstrates how fast and frequently disappointing streaming news arises. Coincidentally, as we wrote this article, another price hike was announced....

LordCrom ,

I use Synology, works as smb, cifs, and nfs for my in garage proxmox stuff. It's pretty good for the money

LordCrom ,

No one will ever use this as a primary interface for work as they claim. Minority report will not be a thing because no one will sit for 8 hours swinging their arms around to use the interface.... People bare stand up to get coffee let alone do an aerobic workout for 8 hours

LordCrom , (edited )

I used to work for a data broker. The main problem here is that profiles are created and compiled from public data. There aren't any P.I.s at work here... Just massive amounts of data dumps that anyone could access. If you include PII data like socials, then there are limitations on who can view it.... But not really that hard to circumvent. A human could not possibly compile profiles from terrabytes of public data, but our programmers could.... And this is the real problem. much of this data was public before current computer logic existed and no one foresaw the huge privacy implications.

For my company, only requests that come from persons living in California were honored....and only the person could request removal, not a 3rd party on behalf of the person. Sux.

And FYI, any searches for certain people would be reported to the authorities.... Like if you searched Donald Trump with SSN Inclusion, we had to report it to secret service.

LordCrom ,

Pop OS has great Nvidia support out of the gate. Latest mint seems to handle Nvidia well also.

LordCrom ,

I hope it reboots to a mime simulating a certain act while we hear "Suck it, jin yang"

Annoyingly similar buttons with very different functions (lemmy.world)

One of the buttons laps the stopwatch, the other resets the entire session clearing all lap markers and stopping the counter. Better not forget which is which, especially given that you're probably timing something in the physical world not paying much attention to your phone...

LordCrom ,

UIs went to shit when some marketing person decided to stop putting labels on buttons and just go with shapes that are somehow supposed to be universally interpreted.

LordCrom ,

Will call usually has 2 people at the window and 200 people in line. Lol. You think Ticketmaster wants you using willcall?

And scalping still exists, only it's Ticketmaster doing it now.

LordCrom ,

Hell I'm still using the original toner that came with the printer 2 years into it

LordCrom ,

Does resolve.d let me use DHCP address with a manually set DNS server yet?

LordCrom ,

Maybe they will actually geoblock.....

I'll use my VPN.

LordCrom ,

Omg socket 7? I know, I love dumpster diving also.... Most of my garage network is recycled hardware that others discarded. But this might be too much of a hassle for what it's worth.

LordCrom ,

Do this. The clip ons were to ensure a tight fit for heat to escape. Thermal glue works just as well on a heat sink....you can also just get a heat sink with fan attached if needed.

Court Bans Use of 'AI-Enhanced' Video Evidence Because That's Not How AI Works (gizmodo.com)

A judge in Washington state has blocked video evidence that’s been “AI-enhanced” from being submitted in a triple murder trial. And that’s a good thing, given the fact that too many people seem to think applying an AI filter can give them access to secret visual data.

LordCrom ,

Wait, when did that become ok to do in The first place

Amazon Ditches 'Just Walk Out' Checkouts at Its Grocery Stores (gizmodo.com)

Amazon is phasing out its checkout-less grocery stores with “Just Walk Out” technology, first reported by The Information Tuesday. The company’s senior vice president of grocery stores says they’re moving away from Just Walk Out, which relied on cameras and sensors to track what people were leaving the store with.

LordCrom ,

All this complexity and expensive tech just to avoid paying a couple of cashier's and bagboys. It amazes me

LordCrom ,

Just don't connect it to your wifi. Any TV that has cell service antenna, like most cars now, just don't buy those.

LordCrom ,

I would immediately return that crap to the store.

LordCrom ,

Brilliant

LordCrom ,

I still have a copy of my irc bot setup somewhere....

LordCrom ,

All politicians have books.....a single person is free to buy 10,000 copies, book seller gets a cut and politicians get the rest..... 100% legal, clean profit. And the person that bought 10k copies gets access to said politicians

LordCrom ,

What about public radio, NPR? Of all the crap news out there, the reports I get off NPR are usually well balanced

LordCrom ,

Also, America was formed because a bunch of rich, old, white guys didn't want to pay their taxes.

LordCrom ,

It's when CNN went to a 24hour news cycle and they had to fill that time with a bunch of talking heads spouting opinions.

LordCrom ,

True. 100%
Even today I had to screen share with our lead DB developer to show him how to create a key and ssh to a host.

Also worked with a guy who would design custom circuit boards for devices, but his windows skill was less than my mother's (which is terrible)

LordCrom ,

Ublock Origin, privacy badger, pihole for home DNS.... Can't live without them

LordCrom ,

Nope, just bad using any computer OS

LordCrom ,

I would take any laser printer with a scanner/copier that doesn't have a subscription model that has Linux drivers for all features .

Brother is the only one I've found to check all the boxes

LordCrom ,

Hell, I bought a hex editor with lifetime lic back in 1996. The fucking guy answered my email and sent me an upgrade almost 30 years later. Hats off to you.

LordCrom ,

I used a GPS module to feed time data to a custom ntp service with no jitter. About as close as I could get to atomic clock precision for under $150.

General Motors Quits Sharing Driving Behavior With Data Brokers After Backlash (www.nytimes.com)

The decision followed a New York Times report this month that G.M. had, for years, been sharing data about drivers’ mileage, braking, acceleration and speed with the insurance industry. The drivers were enrolled — some unknowingly, they said — in OnStar Smart Driver, a feature in G.M.’s internet-connected cars that...

LordCrom ,

Cut the power to the OnStar module and cut the wire to the cell antenna. Cars do not need to connect to the Internet... Ever

LordCrom ,

What? Didnt you know the government is giving away 6400.00 to everybody if you but only claim it by filling out this form on my sketchy website with all your personal info....?

LordCrom ,

This is accurate

LordCrom ,

Vegetarians can use chick peas to make a vegan chicken salad.... Same texture and close to the taste, just no actual chicken.

A bag of dried beans would Introduce more protein too.

Lastly, where are the apples and bananas? No fruit?

LordCrom ,

They all forgot to add "making the world a better place through...." And then continue with the marketing bs

LordCrom ,

Nah..... Just kill 1 guy out the door, then hide in a corner rest of the match. Boom. 1 kill, 0 deaths, 100 percent kd

LordCrom ,

Jesus never loses any data.

Because Jesus saves.
