DarraignTheSane , 11 months ago to selfhosted in Should I be aware of something when buying a TV?

When it comes to Samsung, look at their “Pro” TVs, which are intended for businesses to use for digital signage. I’ve never had to deal with any of the very few smart features it has popping up or annoying me in any way.

I’m no expert on picture quality but it looks damned good to me, and it’s supposedly built to run 24/7 and not burn out since as said it’s intended for digital signage.

DarraignTheSane , 11 months ago to technology in 1Password vs BitWarden

1Password is good from what I understand, but yes it’s expensive compared to the competition. It just… is, and they don’t mind because they’re going primarily after enterprise business.

BitWarden is pretty much the leader in the field and has been for some time, not counting self-hosted only apps e.g. KeePass.

Not to mention, the Premium plan only costs $10/year or $1/month. I used the free version for sharing passwords with my SO for years until I wanted to start storing TOTP codes, which requires premium.

Don’t get me wrong, a pihole is good to have for anyone who has the competency to set one up. They’re not the answer to stopping people from sharing AMP links, is all.

DarraignTheSane , 11 months ago to world in Australian man and his dog rescued by Mexican tuna boat after drifting 3 months in the Pacific Ocean

Because a pihole doesn’t stop people from sharing AMP links, it only prevents you from viewing them. So it’s probably not a good answer to give when someone recommends that other people not use AMP links.

Does having a pihole somehow stop people from posting AMP links?

DarraignTheSane , 11 months ago to nostupidquestions in Do I understand correctly that I have to subscribe to 5 different NoStupidQuestions on 5 different instances?

Correct. Ultimately it’s up to each person how much they want to extend themselves into the Fediverse. You really can’t follow everything everywhere all the time, so you need to pick what you want your feed to consist of.

I’ve subscribed to any redundant tech / IT security related communities no matter how many of them there are, because I always want to stay current on any news that could impact the network environment I manage.

On the other hand, I like seeing some memes, but [email protected] will absolutely flood your front page if you subscribe to it, so I stick to a few smaller meme subs like [email protected], [email protected], and [email protected].

DarraignTheSane , 11 months ago to nostupidquestions in Do I understand correctly that I have to subscribe to 5 different NoStupidQuestions on 5 different instances?

Everyone’s going to say No, and “just subscribe to the most active one”, but if you’re a ‘Fediverse completionist’ and want to ensure that there’s not a single thing you miss anywhere at any time, then the answer is Yes.

I’d bet they reacted like they did specifically because the person is a minor - a minor who is in the care of the airline and who they’re responsible for until they reach the intended destination. If the final flight arrived without the minor on it without it being intended, they would most certainly have some level of liability for the minor’s whereabouts.

Yep. It’s because assholes who cry about “free speech” tend to not understand this - xkcd.com/1357

Ah, well then yeah he should have been more explicit, or simply not replied.

DarraignTheSane , 11 months ago to technology in Canadian judge rules the thumbs up emoji counts as a contract agreement

If the question asked was “do you agree to the contract?” and the farmer answered “👍”, then yeah I can see it. But if the question asked was “have you received the contract?”, then this ruling is bullshit. Unfortunately the article doesn’t have enough information either way.
