You listed a bunch of people who were "good", but honestly, none of them were. You just weren't necessarily aware of how Bill Gates treated anyone who had anything he wanted, or what Steve Jobs did to his daughter.

Honestly, the lesson here is All CEOs Are Bad, it's just that some are only moderate psychopaths instead of ones that skin cats and then stuff them into mailboxes.

Nothing wrong with asking a question, especially when you're talking about devices that are notorious for sending every scrap of data they can gather to everywhere. (Looking at you, Roku.)

Do you have a route that's configured to route between the subnets that perhaps changes when you change which interfaces are enabled on your NAS?

My $2 guess is that it's working fine, because you really shouldn't expect computers to talk to each other on subnets they're not a part of without routing, and that the interface disabling you're doing is changing something in how packets are routed/brings your router into routing packets and thus makes it work then.

I'd prefer a more New Yorker 'HEY! My brain is working fine over here!', personally.

Should be fine; I've used swiftfin on iOS devices (iPad, iPhone, and Apple TV) for literal years and the copyright police haven't shown up.

First: compromised how?

Second: probably just being paranoid, Apple TV + open source apps are about as good as you're going to get in terms of private viewing.

The Apple TV might report app usage stats to Apple, but unless the app (which it doesn't) reports other telemetry that's not really useful in terms of anything other than, well, seeing that someone uses an app that plays media from Jellyfin.

Oh for sure: Musk can barely make a shitpost on Twitter, let alone actually do anything else.

But, conversely, he's in a position to dictate culture and policy and direction and that's led to shitty cars and whatever the fuck is going on at Twitter.

Aaaand yes, past performance is not a predictor for future outcomes, but uh, somehow I don't think it's irrelevant either.

As someone who's had the FBI serve a subpoena their information regarding activity on a non-exit TOR relay, there's no way on this planet I'd ever run an exit node, unless I were independently wealthy and could afford a lawyer to deal with the fallout.

I got lucky that the request went to my employer, who knew who I was (obviously) and that I wasn't doing stupid shit, and it never went further than that, but good lord do I never, ever, want to be of interest to the FBI again, even though literally nothing meaningful happened other than me shitting myself for a few months.

It's the duality (hypocrisy?) around a lot of selfhosters.

They're self-hosting for "privacy" from Google/Microsoft/whatever, but then install enough surveillance software that the CIA might think you've over done it and then watch everything they and any friends/family they share access with are doing.

I mean that's cool if that's what you want to do, but it's still a weird thing.

Dude can't build cars that don't fall apart when they get wet, and can't build a truck that doesn't fall apart for uh, existing, and we're supposed to let him stick stuff in our brains?

No, thanks, but no.

Who will get them? I'd say the answer is anyone who doesn't feel the need to be sick as fuck for two weeks.

Also anyone with any health issues who lives anywhere with the anti-vaccine MAGA idiots probably should too, since if you don't take care of yourself they sure as fuck won't lift a finger either.

You want a notification if someone replies to a reply to a comment you made, when you're not the one making the reply?

AFAIK, you can't do that: the notifications trigger on replies directly to your comment, and not a reply to a reply.

 

I have a question for the hive mind: what is the point of this, exactly?

I mean, I understand the attempt to gain access, and I understand why 2fa codes can be valuable to attempt to phish but that's like, not the thing here.

They just spam dozens to hundreds of these (I'm showing over 400 in my inbox right now) but like, even if I WANTED to give these codes to the attacker, I have no damn clue who the dude in China that's doing this is.

I'm confused as to what they hope to gain by trying over and over and over every couple of hours because it feels like there's no upside to whomever is running this bot, but I probably have missed a memo on some TTP around this, heh.

 

So I've got a home server that's having issues with services flapping and I'm trying to figure out what toolchain would be actually useful for telling me why it's happening, and not just when it happened.

Using UptimeKuma, and it's happy enough to tell me that it couldn't connect or a 503 happened or whatever, but that's kinda useless because the service is essentially immediately working by the time I get the notice.

What tooling would be a little more detailed in to the why, so I can determine the fault and fix it?

I'm not sure if it's the ISP, something in my networking configuration, something on the home server, a bad cable, or whatever because I see nothing in logs related to the application or the underlying host that would indicate anything even happened.

It's also not EVERY service on the server at once, but rather just one or two while the other pile doesn't alert.

In sort: it's annoying and I'm not really making headway for something that can do a better job at root-cause-ing what's going on.

 

Just got an email thanking me for being a 5-node/free user, but Portainer isn't free and I need to stop being a cheap-ass and pay them because blah blah economic times enshittification blah blah blah.

I've moved off them a while ago, but figured I'd see if they emailed EVERYONE about this?

A good time to ditch them if you haven't, I suppose.

 

I'm wanting to add a bunch of energy monitoring stuff so I can both track costs, and maybe implement automation to turn stuff on and off based on power costs and timing.

I'm using some TPlink based plugs right now which are like, fine, but I'm wanting to add something like 6 to 10 more monitoring devices/relays.

Anyone have experience with a bunch of shelly devices and if there's any weird behavior I should be aware of?

Assume I have good enough wifi to handle adding another 10 devices to it, but beyond that any gotchas?

 

Saw an older post asking about ArcaOS and BBS stuff, and since I actually just did a rebuild of mine doing exactly that on newer hardware, figured I'd write about all the stupid shit I had to deal with and how to configure the OS in a blog and post it here if anyone is interested.
