Glad you are okay. I got out yesterday too and the scenes of the city were just an absolute mess. Glad the cell towers are back online, so many people I saw yesterday were just trying to find a spec of reception to get even a single text out to their loved ones to let them know they were still alive.

It’s going to take quite some time to repair all the damage and get power back up, but I saw the National Guard rolling in as we left with tree chippers 🙏

Opinion? Try again. It’s called slander.

Who is forcing you to wear a mask in this scenario?

I mean, certain airlines are starting to adopt size policies which will grant you an additional seat if you are overweight. Why is it such a stretch to believe that tall people should receive the same accommodation?

This is a feature of SATA devices too. Use UUIDs in your fstab unless you enjoy playing musical chairs with your mount points

The LE steam decks are shipping with a screen manufactured by BOE.

Mine just arrived and indeed has 3 dead subpixels (2 blue, 1 green)

LE, order placed 10:19 Pacific. Not shipped yet, but packaged. Guess the Canada shipping backlog is real – hopefully it comes this week.

If you think that’s silly then you should see all the people praising a woman for putting an ice cube in a pot to the same effect.

Sure it stopped the water from boiling over, it also stopped the water boiling at all.

But you actually don’t know what monero is being used for when it’s used in transactions, no one does. You just have a bias that if people want to keep their transactions secret, it must be illegal.

You could make the same argument for cash.

This is called the “Door in the face method” of bargaining. Start with a request so high and absurd that you “slam the door in their face” because it’s so absurd.

The next time they try, they’ll come back with an offer that sounds far more reasonable than the original request. Since you’re still primed with the previous context, your brain makes it sound less bad than it probably is ("At least it’s not the first offer!). You’re more likely to accept after this.

The opposite technique is called “foot in the door”, start with a small request (get your foot in the door) and then increase the ask after the small request goes over.

You need a budget, but it’s not free.

But with Intuit, you are the product, so it’s only free in the sense that they get your info and you get mint in return.

I don’t really use it for this, but here are some things I do use it for:

• metrics scraping on servers without needing to open ports or worry about ssl encryption. Works great for federating Prometheus instances or scraping exporters
• secure access to machines not directly exposed to the internet. I.e. ssh access to my home box while I’m traveling
• being an exit node for web traffic while traveling. I.e. maybe you are traveling and have a bank who is giving you grief about logging in – masquerade that connection from your home IP

I mostly just use it for metrics scraping though

It sounds like what you want is to either get a modem (either rented through the ISP or bought 3rd party, if your ISP supports it) and then ensure that this modem is in bridge mode without any sort of router features. That said, most places will just give you a dumb modem if you have no intention of using their router.

Then the other gear would be a router with the feature set you want. I personally am quite fond of my Mikrotik hap ac2 but the ac3 looks good too. I don’t use the Mikrotik for the wifi either (I use unifi for that), but it’s decent enough for a small space in a pinch.

Basically you would need to find out from your ISP if they allow you to bring your own gear – modem and/or router, with the router being the more important of the two and get their help to either swap your existing device into a bridge or getting you something that can.

Going to play Devil’s advocate here, but open source does not automatically mean that things are safe or that anyone is even auditing the code on anything that resembles a regular basis.

Heartbleed was introduced into OpenSSL source code in 2012 and wasn’t discovered and fixed until 2014
