The Best Secure Email Providers in 2024 (blog.thenewoil.org)

Like it or not, email is a critical part of our digital lives. It’s how we sign up for accounts, get notifications, and communicate with a wide range of entities online. Critics of email rightfully point out that email suffers from a significant number of flaws that make it less than ideal, but that doesn’t change the...

Firstly...why are you routing your home stuff through a VPS? I'm confused on what is happening here.

If you just want to access your things remotely, setup a VPN server on the router, and connect to it that way. You also dont need a reverse proxy or SSL if you're already accessing things over a secured connection. Where did you get this info from?

just_another_person ,

It's just sourcing data from Street View or similar. Not that scary. If it picked you out of a crowd in a randomly sourced image from that area, then it'd be scary.

just_another_person ,

It's cable with extra steps.

So...wait. Is this just a front-end for cli utilities I'd have to install anyway? Why wouldn't I just use the cli if I'm already on the hook for installing it?

just_another_person , (edited )

So it's a GUI, to a front-end of another tool, and it also introduces it's own configurations into the mix? So like...building a bigger car around an existing car just to drive the smaller car. Not sure I'm really "getting it". Like I don't get why you've introduced a frontend to an existing GUI-based tool like a VNC or RDP viewer.

Edit: brutha, I'm getting downvoted exactly twice whenever I ask a question. It's clearly OP. 🤦

just_another_person ,

Looks like it, yup.

Probably a fairly sophisticated espionage operation.

He was 45, had been in good health and was noted for having a healthy lifestyle.

Looks like Boeing is just taking a page right out of Russians books and doing obvious murders in the open now.

MRSA is not that common. Most people get it from contact in medical facilities, but some people (very few) do carry it around.

When someone contracts it and becomes seriously ill, it usually means they weren't a carrier to begin with, or had an immunodeficiency that allowed the pathogen to overtake an equilibrium with their immune system. They do hardcore contact tracing if someone actually dies from it, and if nobody around this guy had it...quite suspicious. That's all I'm saying.

just_another_person ,

This dude's rants are just annoying at this point.

just_another_person ,

Can't tell if you're agreeing, or...

just_another_person ,

So skip Windows. Why does anyone need it anymore?

just_another_person ,

All work via Wine. I use each of them. No issues.

just_another_person ,

Yes, if you're on 32-bit hardware. It's unlikely you are. Backwards compatible binary execution should be fine.

just_another_person ,

Games aren't an issue. If you are still in a world where your local machine is a dev environment, that's a different story. Sorry.

just_another_person ,

Have fun with that.

just_another_person ,

Dumb as shit. "We have an issue, but instead of fixing it, let's just make nature TAKE IT. TAKE IT AND LIKE IT"

just_another_person ,

What in the hell is this timeline, even. For real.

Not only are you a sucker for giving them all your personal contacts a la Facebook, but now they can get your gaming info as well? Please fuck off.

just_another_person ,

You just happen to be lucky. It's not super reliable in less than ideal situations, but I expect it to improve.

Jitsi has also been pivoting to a similar setup. They are masters at SIP and voice handling, and it's still iffy at best.

just_another_person ,

Good. They make great stuff.

If you really want Intel, just get an N100 or N300. Low power, Intel HW transcoding on iGPU on Linux kernels 6.3+, and can handle Jellyfin no problem. You can get a minipc with everything you for $175 for a no name brand, or maybe $250 for a more well-known brand.

just_another_person ,

I have a few random brand ones that run just fine. Just keep backups.

just_another_person ,

From the title, I thought people were actually selling their eyeballs for money.

just_another_person ,

🥱

just_another_person ,

N100 are low power, but quite capable of doing most things you'll be asking a simple service box to do for you. Good option, and cheap.

just_another_person ,

Is he going to be paying owners for the use of their hardware? Doubtful.

Sonos support is baked right in, but you'll need to fuss with the audio source to properly stream from HA if you're playing local files.

just_another_person ,

You bought an ad supported device.

Elon Musk says it's his turn to have the remote (www.engadget.com)

[Xitter] just announced a smart TV app for streaming video. Or, more accurately, that it claims it's building one, with absolutely no launch date mentioned. The appropriately-named [Xitter] TV wants to be “your go-to companion for a high-quality, immersive entertainment experience on a larger screen.”

just_another_person ,

🥱

just_another_person ,

Not anymore. Middling pay, constant threat of fire, constant degradation, most perks went away a loooong time ago, zero work/life balance. You can get that same bullshit working for Company X.

just_another_person ,

I work these same companies. It's not about bad bosses, it's the C-Level people in your news feed degrading their entire workforce via the press. It's hearing your job is going to be "phased out" if you don't start reporting to an office hours away after being hired for remote work. It's having your pay slashed and being told to "deal with it, or find a new job" via email on Monday, then hearing about it all over the news on Tuesday to really hammer it home that you have to fear for your job, and they'll absolutely replace your ass if you say anything about it.

This was all done by Amazon, Google, and Microsoft in the past year at various different times as if it work from a guidebook on demoralizing your workforce.

just_another_person ,

Not a claim, just a fact. Everyone walking around thinking we're making an easy $300k, and taking vacations all the time, and have the best of everything. Absolutely nothing resembling that type of compensation exists anymore. Easy to Google, but just read this headline from today:

    No, but people are downvoting you because you're just whining about your own personal feelings about it, and nobody cares about your sniveling wahwah words.

    just_another_person ,

    Geez, it's almost like there are no alternatives, forks, or other mainline development branches that didn't do that. Oh, wait a second...

    Nobody is forcing you to use GMOME, and they as a community can do whatever they want. You are free to fork and use whatever version you like, or not at all. The beauty of open-source.

    just_another_person ,

    Give me a comparison table that explains why this is an improvement on X service, and I'll take a look. Need that feature draw up front.

    just_another_person ,

    Everyone at Google will think this a challenge. Wrong step to take.

    just_another_person ,

    DosBox gonna get a boost?

    just_another_person ,

    You're an Nvidia user then

    This video kind of misses the mark on delivering the points of the title, but these are the simplest boiled down points of the community gripes:

    • ASUS is having quality control issues, or deliberately skimping to pad profits
    • They are rebranding lesser quality components with the higher quality ROG brand, and pricing it as such
    • They are unilaterally voiding warranties when users try to RMA or return said hardware

    Gigabyte (remember them?) did this same slow slide of enshittification about 10 years ago. The issue pretty much boils down to a company producing too many different types of things, instead of staying good at the things they do well, and the community has noticed and is calling for boycotts. This will no doubt put them on the defensive for years to come, and affect their overall standing in the larger community until they correct course.

    just_another_person ,

    MSI is still on the come up. Can't think of a bad component they've released in many years.

    ASRock is always rock solid.

    Gigabyte seems to be making a comeback.

    NZXT just started expanding on making components, and has really feature stuff. One to watch, though higher-end.

    just_another_person ,

    Lenovo is now garbage aside from their Enterprise model offerings. The consumer level stuff is just reduced to junk now.

    just_another_person ,

    Nope.

    just_another_person ,

    Honestly, in your case, it could just be more about who makes what components can withstand X amount of punishment and keep the electrons flowing through so other things keep working 😂

    Agreed on your point though. Cheap shit needs to stop.

    just_another_person ,

    Glad you brought up ECS. Not good for high-end computing, but really stable for low-end. I have a customer with an Athlon64 box I built them in a pinch almost 20 years ago now that just runs a POS system, and it's never caused him a single problem. Sometimes budget minded brands work in a pinch. ECS is not super well known, but always been great with customer service and advance RMA replacements. I wouldn't call their hardware super sturdy in some cases though.

    just_another_person ,

    Who ever saw this ever in history before now, or ever predicted it?

    Take your crazy thoughts and wants for things to be good for consumers SOMEWHERE ELSE!

    just_another_person ,

    They seem to be, but it's been for a short time. Let's see if they keep it going.
