the GPMI cable comes in two flavors — a Type-B that seems to have a proprietary connector and a Type-C that is compatible with the USB-C standard
I actually copied this from the article to come here to the comments and have a whinge about all the different USB-C standards, and here you are explaining the reason why.
This is what I do. Changing the port to a higher number will prevent almost all bots.
I understand that obscurity is not security but not getting probed is nice.
Also ssh keys are a must.
I do log in as root though.
However, I block all IPs other than mine from connecting to this port in my host’s firewall. I only need to log in from home, or my office, and in a crisis I can just log in to OVH and add whitelist my IP.
Well yeah, “ideally” children should be raised by parents who are millionaires and have unlimited time, but for the rest of us we just make do.
Even if you’re not “out of work”, your work becomes more chaotic and less fulfilling in the name of productivity.
When I started 20 years ago, you could round out a long day with a few hours of mindless data entry or whatever. Not anymore.
A few years ago I could talk to people or maybe even write a nice email communicating a complex topic. Now chatGPT writes the email and I check it.
It’s just shit honestly. I’d rather weave baskets and die at 40 years old of a tooth infection than spend an additional 30 years wallowing in self loathing and despair.
I went looking for something official but couldn’t find it.
Genuine question.
I’m an 80s kid and I’m cut. It’s never bothered me, my parents thought they were doing the right thing at the time.
I had a son a few years ago. We didn’t have him circumcised. We never seriously considered it, and the question never came up. If someone had have asked I would’ve been resistant.
So now the actual question: I had actually assumed that in 2025 the practice is more or less discontinued? Do doctors still do it? I thought they refused generally just because there’s no medical reason for the practice.
As to my preference I just prefer mine the way it is, but I assume that would be the case even if I were not cut.
I feel like most commenters here haven’t understood what you’re proposing.
I’ve thought about doing this, I’ve seen other commenters say they’re doing it. It’s not a terrible idea. I haven’t done it myself because … it’s just not a priority and I’m not sure it ever will be. Anyway …
If you’re willing to set up and self host your own email stack like mail-in-a-box or whatever, then configuring a separate outbound SMTP server is fairly trivial in comparisson.
If you already had your own stack set up to be self hosted you would ordinarily be using the SMTP server there-with to send emails.
Firstly configure your client to use whatever other SMTP server you have access to. I think it’s possible to use mailgun or one of those API transactional senders. You could get a cheap plan with mxroute or any other email host and just use the SMTP server.
Suppose your client is Thunderbird and you set up your account like smtp.mxroute.com for outbound and imap.myserver.com for email storage. When you send an email tbird transmits it through mxroute and then stores it on your imap server at myserver.com in your sent folder.
The potentially complex part is configuring spf & DKIM records on your domain.
I’m not sure if I’ll be able to explain this clearly but… suppose a recipient’s spam service receives an email purportedly from marauding_giberish@myserver.com but transmitted by smtp.mxroute.com. That spam service will look up the DNS records for myserver.com and inspect the records for the spf record. This record pretty much lists which servers are authorised to transmit email from addresses ending in myserver.com. So with a more typical set up an spf record might be:
“v=spf1 include:myserver.com -all”
This would indicate that only the smtp server at myserver.com can transmit email from your domain.
You would edit that to include the mxroute smtp server like this:
“v=spf1 include:mxroute.com include:myserver.com -all”
This way, recipients can confirm that the owner of myserver.com domain has formally designated mxroute as an authorised recipient.
Your SMTP server will have a public & private key pair which it uses to sign outbound messages. Recipients can use the public key to confirm the signature and thereby confirm that the message has not been altered in flight.
Whatever SMTP server you use will tell you the public key and instruct you to add that to the DNS records of your custom domain.
That’s the one that looks like this:
“v=DKIM1; k=rsa; p=MIIBIj [ … it’s a long key … ] op3Nbzgv35kzrPQme+uhtVcJP”
Once this is in place recipients of your emails can query the DNS for myserver.com and find this public key, and use it to confirm that the signature on the email they received is authentic.
I just logged in to check /r/audiobooks.
The sponsored thingies are intolerable. Fuck that.
Yeah. I’m absolutely opposed to unnecessarily “smart” devices.
I have a strong aversion to voice activated anything. Smartphones have had voice assistant’s since forever but whenever I’ve tried it I just find it to be a clunky awkward imprecise user interface.
Why do something in a few clicks when 10 minutes of miscommunication will do?
In-house toilet facilities are more or less a solved problem. These idiots un-solved it.
I think it was voice activated.
The app was probably for additional stuff.
I think bee populations are under threat from pesticides, habitat reduction, disease, climate change, nutrition, et cetera.
Of that list, pesticides are probably the easiest to solve.
I don’t use an “alias provider”.
I just don’t use aliases for companies I need to send emails to. There are very few.
Can you help me understand how the comment in the screen cap has been prompted?
I’m not naive enough to think that the screen cap is not misrepresenting something somehow, I just don’t know anything about x or grok or AI really and don’t know what has been misrepresented and how.
That sounds like a nice, balanced, accepting kind of attitude.
That commenter returnofthemack44 seems typical of conservatives of late though. Just yesterday I was looking at this bonkers mess of nutjobs on a local facebook page (I know…). Some conservatives screaming blue bloody murder about a local politician. He must have mentioned that he had watched some (outrageously popular right now) show about teenagers getting into trouble online and whatever. Now they’re calling him a pedophile because he endorses underage pornography or something.
It’s just nuts to me that people are so invested in the belief nudity is somehow going to corrupt their innocent child. I mean, all kids are naked under their clothes right? What do people think is going to happen if a child sees someone’s bum or god forbid their cock and balls?
If people aren’t comfortable with nudity that’s absolutely fine, but that doesn’t mean everyone else needs to cater to them.
This is the answer.
Providing a rebuttal to a comment doesn’t convince the commenter of the flaws in their reasoning.
However, when silly ideas are consistently rebutted it creates the feeling that the general consensus feels that it’s a silly idea.
Sorry to be that guy but replicating / syncing isn’t really backing up.
You need snap shots or versioning.
It looks like there’s several distinct components to gpodder which confuse things.
Firstly gpodder seems to be a desktop podcast client.
Secondly there’s the sync service / protocol. Gpodder.net provides this for free but according to antennapod doesn’t have adequate resources and causes errors in your client (which I can confirm). There are other containers available which are not from the gpodder team but emulate the protocol.
Finally there’s the recommendation / discovery service apparently provided by gpodder.net. I haven’t been able to get this to work because my client hasn’t been able to sync yet, despite 12 hours of trying.
In my own case, I already have a client (antennapod) and I’m not really interested in sync because I only use the one device. The recommendation / discovery service would’ve been cool but it seems broken for the moment.
Hah. It was IBM that was running the shitshow in Queensland too.
Yeah, as you’ve said it’s not the complexity that’s the problem, it’s that dunning Kruger style overconfidence that you’re smarter than everyone else and can manage data better than these silly accountants.
See, IDK anything about data and power and cables but I dislike the vibe when I dock my laptop with that itty bitty USB-C connector that does power and 2x monitors and networking and peripherals.
I did buy the bonkers expensive proper cable from lenovo, and it does generally just work, but maybe once every few weeks I have to unplug & re-plug.
More power and more data through the same cable just seems daft.
