My favorite: “If Crimea is part of Russia, why does my mobile network switch on roaming after crossing the bridge to Crimea?”

noride,

After reading the article, I came away with the opinion that we should be doing away with all of the pageantry of holiday gatherings, and focus instead on the connections we’re tying to maintain.

But that’s really the thrust of the article, isn’t it? The fact that so many men seem to not care about the appearance and presentation is the problem in their eyes.

noride,

Newer OLEDs are also far less susceptible to burn in than older generations, I think much of the concern is still stigma from earlier models.

With that said, I’m sure I am not alone in saying I have a rather old OLED that I’ve just used as a normal every day monitor and haven’t experienced any issues in the 6+ years I’ve had it.

Your VPN doesn’t have the ability to strip user agent strings on HTTPS requests, this doesn’t seem VPN related imo.

What are your criteria for upvoting/downvoting?

I hate that I always compare Lemmy to Reddit, but Reddit used to have (not sure if they still do) guidelines called “Reddiquette” that included guidelines about upvoting and downvoting. I don’t remember the specifics (and sending too much of my browser traffic to Reddit makes me feel dirty) but one of the guidelines was...

noride,

Downvotes are for off topic or inflammatory comments, not for things you disagree with, in my opinion.

I swear to Apophis I can hear this thing all the way through the cold vacuum of space just by looking at that picture.

Sanad analysed satellite footage and archives of the hospital’s construction and spoke to one of the original engineers who built it.

That’s it. That’s their evidence.

Important bit:

The North Atlantic Treaty Organization’s move follows Russia’s formal withdrawal from the accord on Tuesday and longstanding Western complaints that Moscow wasn’t honoring the terms of the treaty.

Fairphone 4 is making hundreds of unwanted connections per day, to the same addresses. (lemmy.world)

So I got Fairphone 4, with /e/ os, a couple of days ago. When I connected it to my NextDNS I saw that it was trying to connect to some weird addresses, like every 5-10 minutes. I searched Internet a bit and found out that it was something with snapdragon cpu and location services. I travel a lot and use Organic Maps for...

noride,

That really isn’t entirely true anymore since the TPM ecosystem came into existence. I can remotely wipe any pc at my company even if it’s stolen and reformatted because a hardware chip will phone home the second a compatible os is installed and internet access is available.

noride,

For what it’s worth, I did specifically say ecosystem because the TPM is just one component, which is required to authenticate the remote wipe. Also the drivers are installed automatically with most modern operating systems, it’s not like you install your own south bridge driver, for example. Linux of course notwithstanding.

I’ve seen it used successfully numerous times. Someone steals one of our laptops, rips the drive out, installs vanilla windows, and boom it reboots and performs a wipe.

Regardless, system-on-a-chip are just that, systems; they can absolutely make remote calls without user interaction, just as intimated by the comment you originally replied to.

noride,

That’s where the term “chain smoking” comes from, one after another all day long.

noride,

Yeah, if you use your own password cipher, you never have to memorize a password again. Just derive it based on some common input value, like the company name or url. Makes password rotation tricky, though, and it’s a pain when a website won’t allow a special character you generally use, creating “one offs” that are hard to track.

noride,

Fwiw, most modern thermostats have an emergency failsafe temp setting that will always turn the heater on when reached, even if inadvertently set lower by mistake. Saved my bacon in a rental once.

noride,

I hope I don’t get flayed for saying this, but I actually had this problem on Windows once, and it turned out to be thermal throttling of the CPU. I was going from 4+ghz to around 200mhz and then it would shoot back to normal. Just needed a thorough cleaning of the fans and ducting.

Thought it was worth mentioning on the off chance it might help someone.

noride,

Most ISP blocking is pretty superficial, usually just at the DNS level, you should be fine in the vast majority of cases. While parsing for the SNI flag on the client hello is technically possible, it’s computationally expensive at scale, and generally avoided outside of enterprise networks.

With that siad, When in doubt, VPN out. ;)

noride,

Yeah, even if they miss your DNS request, the ISP can still do a reverse lookup on the destination IP you’re attempting to connect to and just drop the traffic silently. That is pretty rare though, at least in US, mainly because It costs money to enforce restrictions like that at scale, which means blocking things isn’t profitable. However, slurping up your DNS requests can allow them to feed you false error pages, littered with profitable ads, all under the guies of enforcing copyright protections.

noride, (edited )

You are absolutely correct, I should have lead with that. Encrypted client handshake means no one can see what certificate you are trying to request from the remote end of your connection, even your ISP.

However, It’s worth noting though that if I am your ISP and I see you connecting to say public IP 8.8.8.8 over https (443) I don’t need to see the SNI flag to know you’re accessing something at Google.

First, I have a list of IP addresses of known blocked sites, I will just drop any traffic destined to that address, no other magic needed.

Second, if you target an IP that isn’t blocked outright, and I can’t see your SNI flag, I can still try to reverse lookup the IP myself and perform a block on your connection if the returned record matches a restricted pattern, say google.com.

VPN gets around all of these problems, provided you egress somewhere less restrictive.

Hope that helps clarify.

noride,

That makes sense! Believe it or not it’s actually easier for an ISP to block a whole country than select websites and services. We actually null route all Russian public IP space where I work, that would absolutely be plausible on a national scale as well.

It’s imperfect, you can get around it, but it catches 99% of normal users, which is the goal.

noride,

Is that Stowe we’re seeing in the distance?

noride,

Very nice! The biggest nug is often referred to as ‘The Crown’, wear it with pride, king! :D

A little rant about lemmy.ml

I like a lot of the communities on that instance, but every once in a while I just get hit with a random wave of toxicity by them for no reason. For example, there was a post asking which communities from Reddit do you wish existed on Lemmy, and I answered honestly saying more car related communities as they are one of my...

noride,

They are individual copies of the Lemmyverse that all sync content with each other. That’s the ‘federation’ part. Some of them are weird and scary places, friend.

QSFP and SFP are different physical connectors, they are not interoperable.

You will still be able to use them completely offline after you complete the setup process, it’s in the article. Regardless, I only have a couple devices, so it’ll be pretty painless for me to rip em out.

noride,

God damnit. They ruined Viptela, absolutely fucked the licensing model for ThousandEyes, kneecapped OpenDNS, and now this shit. Stop Ciscoing good companies, Cisco!!

noride,

Yeah, they seem to put a lot of energy into esoteric features, when the app is in serious need of some quality of life improvements. I donate a tiny monthly sum to the project and honestly feel conflicted about how effectively it’s being used.

noride,

You caught it early. Just some light canoeing, she’s still good! :)

noride,

Judging by the screenshots, this looks very similar to Portainer. Are they basically the same tool set for different container architectures? Looks pretty interesting.

noride,

This is good info, thank you for taking the time to elucidate.

Dry Herb Vaping vs Bong hits

I have been looking into dry herb vaping as a reusable some what healthy way to consume trees but I have seen some mixed reviews. Some say that vaping is even more potent that combustion while others claim that most dry herb vapes suck and only giant ball vapes can compare to a bong hit. Is it purely subjective or are there ways...

noride,

As an owner of two Volcanos and an Arizer Extreme Q, I don’t really think the cost justifies the marginal improvement in vapor quality over the Q.

That said, if money really is no object, the Volcano can’t be beat in terms of quality and feature set. Replacement parts are wildly pricey too.

Instance Protectionism in the Threadiverse happens because of the Prisoner’s Dilemma (protecting one's own instance is currently more sensible than increasing overall discussion quality) (lemmy.world)

As a moderator of a Lemmy instance, you currently have two options to take: pushing users first to your local content or content from all instances you federate with. These options come with the costs seen in the picture. The moderator of another instance has the same choice. However, in this scenario, they will both always...

noride,

I kinda disagree, /r/all was amazing way back before they started fuckin with it. That was the best way to discover new communities once upon a time.

But I do admit the firehouse approach isn’t for those looking for a refreshing glass of water.

noride,

That would go against their knee jerk contrarianism.

noride,

I’ll give this to the Russians, they are excellent retreaters.

noride,

I’m more of a sort by caliente man myself.

Separate double bay doors. They have a pair for each floor that opens to an outside wall. You use a forklift to get the pallets up. That or there is a big ass freight elevator, depending on the data center.

Heros reaaaally went to shit with the writers strike. Wow did it get bad quick.

Yeah, the punishment for forgetting to make your lunch at 5 should be mom or dad makes you something boring and bland instead, not they let you starve for a day.

noride,

Corporations literally cannot pay you what you’re worth. The very nature of capitalism requires exploitation. For capitalism to function, there must be an inequity between a worker’s true value, i.e. their productive output, and their cost. The system is literally designed to fuck you over from the top down.

noride,

The only point I’d push back on is that this was only in US interests. Ukraine makes a decent sum allowing Nord 1 to transit over land in their territory, money they would lose with the activation of Nord 2.

Further, regardless of whom you believe committed the act, there is evidence to suggest the targeting of Nord 1 was accidental and the actual intent was to just hit Nord 2.

You could even speculate the destruction of Nord 2 was insurance that the west wouldn’t abandon Ukraine since they could no longer flip a switch and take them out of the gas equation.

noride,

I don’t really have any cool accessories for my deck, but really appreciate you posting yours. I dig that charger and kickstand, I’ll probably pick up one of each. Thanks for taking the time to write this up!

noride,

Reminds me of Toxic Optimism! Someone so sure it’s all going to work out that they do nothing to prepare.

There’s no way in heck we’re gonna hit that tree!

noride,

You defoliate during flowering? I’ve genuinely never seen anyone do that before, what are the benefits? I am already aware of the downsides, for what it’s worth.

noride,

The downside is the leaves act as storage for mobile nutrients, cutting them early lowers reserves. But that’s only really an issue if something unexpected happens later in the grow. Admittedly a much larger risk when doing hydroponics than soil because the soil also acts as a buffer and nutrient store.

Secondarily, I’ve read that the larger fan leaves produce more sugars for the plant and should only be removed sparingly, and generally during the vegetation phase. I’ve had great luck following that methodology.

To be clear, I took defoliation to mean removing live, healthy leaves, in pursuit of a specific growth objective, not pruning detritus. My bad on that front.

Regardless, they look fabulous!

noride,

I would argue the overwhelming majority of consumers do not know alcohol is a proven carcinogen, and many would still choose to make more health conscious choices, even though the relative risk is lower than smoking.

noride,

Look up NBAR for the basic idea. Each vendor has their own ‘secret sauce’ implementation, Palo Alto only needs 9 bytes of payload for disambiguation, iirc.

noride,

Ironic considering they sued the manufacturer of the S400 specifically because they were sold as being able to intercept HIMARS and are woefully unable to do so, even in ideal conditions.
