You should really not be exposing jellyfin OR plex to the open Internet. It’s just asking for trouble.

I also vouch for GL.inet routers, they also have a 5th gigabit port that was nice to have since all 4 of the ones on my old router were full.

All we can hope for is that the AI bubble bursts very suddenly, and the manufacturers/distributors are left with a huge amount of excess stock and production capacity that will oversaturate the market.

DDR4 RAM prices did drop back down after a huge peak in 2018 caused by smartphones, although this is a much larger scale issue so who knows how it’ll play out.

Cause it is. Em-dash in the title and words that are bold for no reason? Clear signs the post was made with an LLM.

No, it’s not forbidden. No idea what that commenter is talking about.

Only certain planets (like ours) actually have a liquid core with a solid outer crust. Most rocky planets are like Mars, completely solid all the way through.

I believe what the other commenter was getting at is that, on large scales, the solids that make up planets behave like liquids do at smaller scales. Since if you zoom out, there’s not much different between a bunch of rocks loosely held together with gravity and a water droplet weakly held together by surface tension.

Did you just call Ars Technica an “internet rot site”?

Good way to make it obvious you don’t know what you’re talking about without saying you don’t know what you’re talking about.

Also, TrueNAS loads entirely into RAM upon boot, meaning the SSD will only be used once when the computer is powered on. So apart from that few seconds, there won’t be any additional power draw from the SSD.

I mean, this sounds like exactly the correct way to go about this. Make it opt-in, and data is only used to find/address problems with the system and not to track your usage habits to sell you ads. I don’t have a problem with this.

A VPN would not have helped with this. People connecting to the decoy wifi network were redirected to phishing pages that they willingly gave their info to. HTTPS was still present, the criminal still could not have intercepted information that wasn’t input into the phishing page. With a VPN, you would have still been redirected exactly the same way.

I cannot recall a single self-hosted software documentation that mentions how to keep the docker config file up to date. Why bother wasting 5 seconds writing such an unhelpful comment

Cause there’s no user data stored on EFI, and saying “almost-full-disk-except-for-the-EFI-partition-encryption” is a bit cumbersome and, obviously, pedantic.

I’ve only been told to turn T-shirts or garments with dangling bits inside out, so that the friction of rubbing against the other clothes doesn’t wear off the print.

I don’t really see how turning stuff like hoodies inside out would affect anything, apart from maybe preventing the button/zipper from clanking around in the dryer (which admittedly IS very obnoxious)

Damn, you’d think that with such advanced technology, they could just automate that job and have the workers move to doing something that isn’t a dehumanizing slog.

That “jackass” sounds like an AI training set scraper. They’re known for being incredibly brutal to the sites they scrape, ignoring robots.txt and other honor-based systems for preventing the site from getting overloaded.

Using a few anti-static bags inside one another doesn’t block 100% of signals but it cuts range down by a lot. But also, if you’re looking for this high of a security level, wouldn’t it be easier to just find a phone with a removable battery?

If you’re only going to use it from within your own LAN, then no, you don’t need a static public address

I mean, as far as I know, DNS is decentralized. Anyone can host their own DNS server, or change which server their network/device uses. Google’s is just very commonly used because 8.8.8.8 is easy to remember, but there are thousands of others run by entities big and small, and there’s nothing stopping you from running your own (assuming you manage to get a hold of a static IPv4)

Do you have a static IP address? CG-NAT has done a really great job of hindering torrents, since my understanding is that at least one side of the connection needs to have an open port. So, if you don’t, then only the few people who do are able to download from you, which can make it seem like no one wants your stuff.

I would not bother archiving the mainstream releases that can already be found on many torrent sites (like, you don’t need to archive Star Wars or Lord of the Rings) and focus on the bootleg disks first. You just need any standard DVD drive, then use Handbreak to rip the disks to a video file. For official releases, many of them have forms of copy protection, but 15 minutes on Google should tell you how to get around any you come across.

Also, for reference, “burning” a DVD is writing data to a disk, so the opposite of what you’re trying to do.
