    Google Pay is officially dead in the US. Just got the email.

As we continue to provide safe and seamless payments to users around the world, we are also simplifying the app experience in the U.S. For years, Google Wallet has been the primary place to securely store payment cards used for tap and pay in stores,...

    I got tired of fighting with GPay on crdroid every other week. Got a card that works with my Garmin watch instead. No more nonsense.

    How about putting all app data in storage0 so it can be easily backed up. The thing I care about most if my phone is stolen is being able to build a new one and not have to spend the next day reconfiguring every damned app.

    Congress’s push to protect kids online is at a crossroads (KOSA, US-focused) (www.washingtonpost.com)

    If these fuckwits really wanted to 'protect the children' they'd have a .kids tld with regulation. Then parents and schools can choose to filter everything but that tld, or not.

    Nurses Protest 'Deeply Troubling' Use of AI in Hospitals (www.404media.co)

    “Life-and-death decisions relating to patient acuity, treatment decisions, and staffing levels cannot be made without the assessment skills and critical thinking of registered nurses,” the union wrote in the post. “For example, tell-tale signs of a patient’s condition, such as the smell of a patient’s breath and their...

    Recommendations please: Self-hosted web site analytics

    Hello y'all! I have my personal (static) website / blog running on netlify out on the public internet. Netlify, in case you're not familiar, is not a traditional web host, so I can't add databases or anything else like that on the server itself. Right now, that site has zero analytics / visitor tracking and I've decided I want...

    You can ship to Graylog with netcat or filebeat. Then you can do all of your graphing, searching, and analysis there.

    What would you like to see in a house IT setup?

    Currently remodeling a domicile, with the sweet and expensive ability to add anything I want within reason. I plan on modernizing the place to bring it into the 21st century because this house deserves it (just a great structure with lots of history and nearing it's centennial birthday)....

    Is rsync.net a good service for backups?

    I've been playing around with the self hosted apps for quite a while and I got to the point where I'm happy about my local setup. Next step is to setup reliable offsite backup. I'm using borgbackup as a tool to manage my backups (so far only local backups). I've been looking for an affordable yet reliable service to store my...

    I use it. No complaints here. They've recently reduced their rates. The alternatives are more involved and more expensive. I put my remote Borg repos on rsync.net

    Because I use Borg I don't really need their zfs snapshots but those are pretty cool too.

    I have multiple Borg repos, so rather than add a remote for each I just rclone everything at once to rsync.

    I replaced all of mine with Nvidia shield and Walmart onn streaming pucks. It's a better experience in every way (once projectivy is installed) and costs less too.

    For home, use your firewall. Either physical ports on the firewall with dumb switches or vlans with managed layer 2 switches.

    There are many ways to do this. Proxmox can do it with ovs if all your devices are virtualized. Pfsense is probably the most straightforward.

    The best way to run pfsense is on dedicated hardware. This would work for you https://protectli.com/vault-4-port/

    You'll also then need switches or a managed switch with vlans for each network segment.

    I finally replaced my pebble with a Garmin. Pleasantly surprised. I still miss voice response and proper tasker integration, but otherwise it's a solid smart watch.

    Activities I only use for hiking. I don't wear a watch cycling or kayaking. Looking forward to trying the snowboarding activity though.

    Tim's name is the only one on the original html rfc. He is also a contributor on the httpd rfcs.

    https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc1866

    So as far as content creation is concerned, yes he invented it. Html markup made it very easy for non-technical people to easily create their own web pages. That we no longer do that as individuals is the main point he is making. The original intent of the tool has been taken over by marketing and capitalism.

    Before his work we communicated and shared via ftp, telnet, usenet, gopher, smtp, and irc.

    Needing a credit card just to use Roku has always been nonsense. I bought a gift card, spent all but $1 of it, and registered with that.

    But I've since moved to Nvidia shield on the theater and onn on bedroom, office. Much better experience all around.

    supermarket club cards

    Hey I'm sure you all know how sketchy club cards are for collecting your data. But I do begrudge paying slightly higher prices just for valuing my privacy.

    As a stand alone service I don't think it is great, but feeding into Plex + Plexamp makes it awesome.

    Tidal integrates with Plex local libraries seamlessly. Itslike having your own collections without having to rip or download anything.

    There are devices like the Netgear lm1200 that can do it inline by themselves.

    I have that device, but configured as a second gateway. My firewall manages the failover based on primary packet loss and latency.

    You can look for a service that provides a mail security gateway, or host your own. My personal solution is mimedefang milter on sendmail which will blow away any canned solution you will find. But you have to know what you are doing with it.

    There is barracuda, but they are $$. Another option is proxmox mail gateway. Not as fast as mimedefang, but it has a nice gui.

    That's what s/mime does. If it were as easy to get personal certs as it is to get server certs through letsencrypt, everyone could easily sign and encrypt mail.

    I can certainly do it anyway, but you'd have to trust my self signed cert.

    That said, it's pretty rare to find relays these days that are not using tls for transport, so there's that.

    What is your preferred method for backing up several TB of data?

    What storage software could I run to have an archive of my personal files (a couple TB of photos) that doesn't require I keep a full local copy of all the data? I like the idea of a simple and focused tool like Syncthing, but they seem to be angling towards replication....

    I've been doing home automation for awhile now. Voice assistant is never anything I would consider. What problem does it solve that a button doesn't do with less hassle?

    Also, note automation. The whole point is for the house to do its thing with minimal interaction based on triggers and states. Everyone leaves? Turn off the lights, lock the doors, turn down the heat. TV comes on after dusk? Dim the living room lights if they are on. Going down the basement stairs? Turn on the lights. Cat just used the litter box? Turn on the hepa filter for a bit.

    I just wish it had a built in way for normal users to share read/write individual lists and calendars. Afaik you have to kludge it together with symlinks.

    @knobbysideup@sh.itjust.works avatar

    Duh, why didn't I think of that? Brb, re-doing my shared grocery list.

    But then again, any users would also then need multiple accounts for read/write share if you don't want everyone seeing everyone else's stuff.
