Nomecks , to selfhosted in Security considerations for accessing NAS in external network

Use object storage and enable immutability for the backups. If they compromise your site they shouldn’t be able to delete your backups unless they have the NAS password too.

Great suggestion to secure the backups themselfes, but I’m more concerned about the impact an attacker on my network might have on the external network and vice versa.

Clbull , to asklemmy in Fiat doesn't work on a finite planet. Crypto has failed on its goals. What is a better way to be economically secure?

Disclaimer: I work in accountancy (Commercial Finance) but my advice should be taken with a pinch of salt.

  1. Diversify your investments. Have savings across multiple bank accounts so that the unlikely event where one bank fails doesn’t wipe out your financial wealth., and overall don’t put your eggs in one basket.
  2. Currently, the best ROI/passive income you’ll get is from corporate bonds. A cursory glance at the Hargreaves Lansdown website shows me quite a few corporate bonds and gilts that have a voucher rate (% return each year) of over 8 percent. Do bear in mind that a bond is a loan instrument where the ROI is based on both the maturity date (the date you get paid back plus interest) and the overall risk of the debt.
  3. Another good option is to invest in high dividend yield shares or ETFs. These can offer superior returns on investment to the interest you’d get from a savings account.
  4. Avoid day trading or swing trading unless you 100% absolutely know what the fuck you’re doing. Unlike what many YouTube ‘gurus’ claim, making a living off the stock market requires a high amount of starting capital to see any kind of tangible ROI, plus sophisticated stock trading software and knowledge on how to exploit trends.
  5. Same goes for penny stocks (i.e. the FTSE AIM All Share market.) You can make some rookie gains from it. Many of the companies listed on this index are oil/gas/mineral exploratory firms that are likely not going to see any kind of profit unless they strike it big, find a new oil well, lithium mine, etc and get the necessary contracts and investment to extract those resources. They’re penny stocks for a reason.
  6. Side hustles. For example, I have two friends that are karaoke DJs and they get gigs where bars pay them to host nights. Bookkeeping is another one, but you really are going to have a lot of competition in that respect, and you will probably need the right qualifications to do it.
  7. Screw crypto. At best cryptocurrencies are speculative assets that are scarce and expensive because the very nature of how their blockchains were designed make it take exponentially more effort to mine a new coin. At worst, they’re used to launder criminal proceeds (Monero is a good example of one where the blockchain is encrypted.) NFTs are even worse.
loweffortname , to asklemmy in What Podcasts do you listen to?
@loweffortname@lemmy.blahaj.zone avatar

Knowledge Fight - Analysis of Alex Jones and his fucked up world

God Awful Movies - Let’s watch bad religious movies and talk shit about them

Behind the Bastards - Details about evil fuckers in history (and the present)

If Books Could Kill - let’s read shitty airport books and talk about them

Qanon Anonymous (QAA now?) - The Qanon conspiracy world is fucking wild. Best keep track of it.

Others more sporadically.

Lifecoach5000 ,

Upvote for knowledge fight and BtB. I also personally love The Dollap

Mirshe ,

+1 for If Books Could Kill. They’ve kinda run out of shitty famous self help books, but they still do good rundowns on other books now.

I’ll also recommend Michael Hobbes’ other podcast, Maintenance Phase, which is largely about health grifts.

SidewaysHighways , to selfhosted in Looking for HW recommendations for DIY NAS/Homelab

Anyone have opinions about hiding this under a bed or other discreet location? (Closet, crawlspace, etc)

Maybe with hardwood floors or a closet that isn’t full of winter coats or something, but it makes me nervous. But I would like to kinda spread out the homelab a little

No as you can not bypass DRM. DRM is designed to block your control of your machine.

astro_ray ,

Seriously, DRM is the problem. There’s no one benefitting from it except for large corporations who have a stranglehold on content.

MajorHavoc ,

Yeah. And even the corporations aren’t benefiting. The best Pirates crack that stuff quickly, and the rest of us (not me, obviously, I’m no pirate) just leach off the best Pirates. People trying to give them money are hurt.

I just did this over the weekend, I’ll try to remember to come back after work and add in my steps. It can be really confusing to parse over a bunch of tutorials

I’d appreciate it very much!

card797 , to nostupidquestions in What are some things you can do to maintain your teeth when you don't have health insurance and can't afford dental care?

I have dental care, but the thing we should all be doing is flossing once a day. Brush twice a day. Brushing should take 2-3 minutes. Do a circular motion with your brush and get all of the surfaces clean. Use your tongue to feel for plaque and spot brush to remove that. I hope you can see a dentist sometime in the future.

Markaos , to android in 10 years of android and I never managed to share files via WiFi direct

The Quick Share option missing is weird - Nearby Share/Quick Share is supposed to be available on every Android 6 or newer device since roughly 2020. And it’s supposed to be able to automatically figure out a reasonable way to connect the devices (LAN if they are in the same network, Bluetooth or WiFi Direct otherwise).

@BeatTakeshi@lemmy.world avatar

You are right that it is workable, I will edit my post. I thought quickshare was a Samsung thing only

I firmly believe that love should be color blind, which is why I never see any red flags.

Idiocracy

It’s not a movie. It’s prophecy.

dejected_warp_core , to nostupidquestions in What are some things you can do to maintain your teeth when you don't have health insurance and can't afford dental care?

Cut out soft-drinks in general.

They are not only packed full of sugar, but some very popular ones contain phosphoric acid. If you had to invent an combination of edible ingredients designed to damage tooth enamel, you couldn’t do worse. The fact that this is a diet-friendly option is almost a side-benefit. It’s that bad.

Tabitha , to asklemmy in What are the best voice-changer AIs accessible to the average user?

I always see speech-to-text stuff and text-to-speech stuff but never voice-to-voice.

Mothra , to asklemmy in What is a less popular type/genre of movies that you watch ? What makes it interesting for you ?
@Mothra@mander.xyz avatar

Well I’m not going to claim there are a lot of movies in this category and I haven’t watched them all but I enjoy Joel Haver’s content on YT. He’s been releasing films this year.

Edit: what makes them interesting to me is the unique approach and personality they have. Unconventional stories, the indie feeling, the way the topics are presented.
