We’ve drastically simplified and made tech accessible to everyone with a smartphone, you no longer need computer skills to get on the internet to shop or participate in social activities. Kids use apps’ platforms for the things we had to build and host ourselves 20y ago.

It pioneered DDoS attacks so, uh, yeah

90s script kiddie here - a bunch of the shit you can do as a minor with low/no consequences becomes SERIOUS FUCKING BUSINESS as an adult with assets. It’s just not worth the risk to keep dicking around with things that might land you in prison or cost you everything you have.

Just wait for someone to exploit it, that’s pretty common with mediatek SoCs

Excellent, the battery life on my 9 pro is starting to suffer and this will drive the prices on used 11s and 12s down to impulse buy at 3am levels.

Ruckus APs and Opnsense have been solidly reliable for me for 5y now. No random fucking with unifi bugs (like having my WPA enterprise SSID punting users out onto the management vlan at random instead of the Kerberos assigned VLAN for that user, thanks unifi) and fantastic wireless coverage has me completely satisfied with my infra choices. Also, Ruckus unleashed handles controller duty on the primary AP rather than requiring a management container, that’s also a plus.

Read the fine print too, a lot of these “mental health counseling services” have carve outs that stipulate that they can pass along data about your sessions to third parties (like your employer.) Most of them aren’t health care professionals so health care law doesn’t apply.

I wrote snapshot hooks for Arch that fire before installing or upgrading packages and I have a simple shell alias that I can use to fire off a manual snapshot any time I need one. If a package breaks in an inconvenient way and can’t just be dowgraded back to function or I have some other time pressure I can just point my root partition at a clone of my most recent snapshot and reboot to roll back. I don’t usually bother rebooting into a cloned snapshot to test changes as I can just perform the same steps to roll back and the automated rolling snapshots mean I don’t need to baby anything to have the same protection.

Big open world RPG protagonist vibes

I can tell the difference between a good basic pair of headphones and garbage pretty easily. There’s a noticeable difference between basic cans and higher end cans too but it’s a 15-20% improvement for a 500-10000% price increase.

If someone’s happy with older airpods then more power to them, I don’t need much more than a pair of Sennheiser HD598s myself. Would I take HD800/820s if offered for free? Absolutely. Will I pay $1600+ for them, not today.

My RAID5 of 28 disks is ultra safe I tell you

Here’s an even easier hack than all of that :effort:

Just hold the power button down for about 10 seconds, ez-pz

Gimp 4.0 is on schedule for a 2040 release at this point

You can access Gmail over IMAP and pull down messages locally. If you do this; Back. Up. Your. Mbox.

Also, fun fact, you can move messages from a local mbox to Gmail while preserving read status and original dates if you want to add old email to Gmail for some reason.

+1, your list of browser extensions, list of plugins and list of available fonts are also available to anyone trying to fingerprint you. This idea that NAT will somehow obscure you enough to be anonymous online is security voodoo.

Yes, the machine that stays off 363 days of the year is such a security risk to my home network 🙄
