randombullet,

Some enterprise grade stuff still use BIOS. But I haven’t messed with one for over 6 years

randombullet,

My office when everything is off consumes 7w total.

That’s 2 high end computers, 3 monitors in sleep mode, 2 phone chargers a laptop charger.

7w is more than tolerable for me

randombullet,

I think my monitors are rated at 0.5w each

I actually think the biggest drain are the power strips with built in USB adapters. Maybe 1w each

randombullet,

I’m a network engineer, I always have a flashlight on me since I have to get into crawl ways to chase cables

I personally have an Acebeam E70 Mini because it’s high CRI and non-PWM.

PiHole and then Minecraft actually all through CLI.

Imagine my shock once I found out about screen and SSH. I didn’t need to walk back and forth between my computer and the server.

I didn’t touch a GUI for about 4 years.

randombullet,

Don’t forget anxiety

randombullet,

I love this copy pasta

Cries in SFFPCs

Hard to tame a 5800X3D in a 8L case

randombullet,

I think that there’s a 5% failure rate of cluster bombs. So if you drop a few, there will be a few UXOs still laying around.

Best bet is to use a MICLIC or those mine sniffing rats.

randombullet,

I only had fun once I started using console commands.

Some of the guns you can come up with is amazing.

randombullet,

I run fiber because fiber SFPs are cheaper than copper lol.

But if it doesn’t move in my house, it’s wired.

randombullet,

Ethernet is a layer 1/2 standard, so it is technically it’s anything covered under IEEE 802.3.

But for most folks Ethernet is a copper patch cable and a copper port.

My comment was more directed at the unholy costs of copper SFPs and their heat when dealing with multigig setups.

randombullet,

I’d say it’s more effective to snap a photo and upload it right away to social media than it is to take a photo, download it on an app, then upload it to social media.

Unless the shelter has a dedicated social media team, DSLRs or mirrorless would be overkill for the average person.

randombullet,

I use a framework for my laptop. I brought my own ram and storage.

randombullet,

Just use a custom list for them. Or just isolate them on a different vlan.

randombullet,

Aegis with the password in a YubiKey.

My password manager and I don’t know the password.

randombullet,

I do a DNS redirect on my Mikrotik router.

It’s going to suck when DoH and DoT becomes more prevalent.

randombullet,

That’s also assuming they used proper salts and a strong hashing algorithm.

Also MITM and or phishing attacks are not super common but can also depreciate your common password very quickly.

Always layered defense. If it’s not 1 thing, it could be another.

Unique passwords are just one facet on a multi-layered security defense.

randombullet,

I just buy a pixel 1 for 50 bucks. Then I use that to upload my current photos. Works flawlessly

Two separate Hard Drives corrupted in as many days... User error?

Edit- I set the machine to work last night testing memtester and badblocks (read only) both tests came back clean, so I assumed I was in the clear. Today, wanting to be extra sure, i ran a read-write badblocks test and watched dmesg while it worked. I got the same errors, this time on ata3.00. Given that the memory test came...

randombullet,

I have horrible errors in my ZFS pools until I did a memtest. Fixing my ram eliminated all the errors.

randombullet,

Should I poop now or wait until after my set?

Is that a fart?

randombullet,

I always try to buy more enterprise hardware such as SSDs and HDDs.

They’re usually cheaper used because of their lifecycle.

I just bought 2 x 3.83TB nvme drives for $160 a pop.

They have 5.4PB of endurance and I received them with only 60TB written.

Same goes for hard drives. I have some Seagate exos that is just about $10/TB.

They have a MTBF of 2.5 million hours.

randombullet,

No. YouTube ads are servered under the same DNS record.

randombullet,

Backblaze

I also have my 160tb home server for anything not vital.

randombullet,

Backblaze.

9/month for unlimited storage.

I’m at 4tb stored.

randombullet,

We have a bee hotel and it’s so damn cute seeing these little solitary bees filling up the holes.

We probably have 20-30 nests.

randombullet,

The Fresnel lenses give me eye fatigue.

randombullet,

No shit?

I mean copper runs at 2/3 the speed of light.

Wireless is pretty much the speed of light.

I thought they used dedicated fiber for their links.

randombullet,

Yeah wiki also says.

Bluetooth 2.0 already supports 3mbps or (2.1mbps real world)

The bit rate of EDR is 3 Mbit/s, although the maximum data transfer rate (allowing for inter-packet time and acknowledgements) is 2.1 Mbit/s.

BT5 expands on the Low Energy specifications to allow 2mbps burst.

Bluetooth 5 provides, for BLE, options that can double the speed (2 Mbit/s burst) at the expense of range, or provide up to four times the range at the expense of data rate.

Also 802.11n already runs at 54mbps for a 20mhz wide channel.

Russian airplanes keep flying despite sanctions as spare parts for Boeing and Airbus are bought from 'friendly nations', with United Arab Emirates, China, and Turkey at the top (istories.media)

Surprisingly, there are suppliers of under-sanctioned aircraft parts even in “unfriendly” Europe — intermediaries from the CIS are at their service, who will formalize an order that will reach Russia.

randombullet,

But they don’t get supply chain security.

Even the normal aviation supply chain is not secure.

randombullet,

I went with an RTX A5000 because of the dumb ram limitations

randombullet,

Yep just 24gb.

Tdp was another huge consideration.

randombullet,

Yep, I’m one as well. No more routes to fuck up. No more vlans to trunk by accident.

randombullet,

There are a few things left. They still use Luneburg lenses for opfor and non-us exercises.

randombullet,

Just remember it’s always about the profits.

Just like how they stopped selling chargers for the sake of reducing e-waste. Even though they can save on shipping weights and charge extra for 1st party chargers.

Now is it worse for the environment to produce extra chargers and cables? Or the secondary purchases, shipping, and manufacturing? I can’t tell you the actual impact.

Oh and remember the absolute trash 1A/5V charging bricks they included for the longest time ever? They hardly even pushed out 18w bricks before they nixed the entire included charger crap.

randombullet,

Zeal Zilent v2 62g are like MX Browns but better.

Brown’s tactile is a little too little for me. Wanted blue’s tactile but with the silent of browns. So I went Zilents.

randombullet,

I didn’t see porkbun here. Is there a reason why?

All of my domains are on porkbun.

randombullet,

I’m happily using YubiKey, wish everyone implemented U2F

Google Chrome pushes browser history-based ad targeting • The Register (www.theregister.com)

Topics essentially works like this: rather than using cookies to track people around the web and figure out their interests from the sites they visit and the apps they use, websites can ask Chrome directly, via its Topics JavaScript API, what sort of things the user is interested in, and then display ads based on that. Chrome...

Why I'm not getting a Fairphone*

A couple hours before I was on the edge of getting a Fairphone 5 but I read the specifications and didn’t see 3.5 mm audio jack anywhere. So I thought to myself…why? The community has been requesting this for a couple years ago now so why not. They’re already making money on the phone, they’re really pushing for people...

randombullet,

Pfft, real audiophiles will use a DAC or a DAP

Although I’m not willing to carry something additional to my phone and earbuds to listen to music.

randombullet,

This is why I bought framework this time around. Hopefully they exist 5-10 years down the line.

How an Encrypted Hard-drive Works (monero.town)

There is a difference between an encrypted hard-drive and the sudo password for your Linux user. Sometimes the difference or purpose between these can be unclear to a new user. This article discusses the basics of some key concepts for security and privacy: simplifiedprivacy.com/how-an-encrypted-hard-drive…

randombullet,

I use VeraCrypt over Bitdefender since it doesn’t rely on the TPM.

I don’t have high value items on my laptop, but at least it protects my password manager and credentials.

Is there anything else I should do to harden my laptop?

randombullet,

Fuck click bait.

Long story short, rumors suggest that both the iPhone 15 and iPhone 15 Plus will be stuck with a static 60Hz refresh rate. The iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max are expected to inherit the adaptive 1-120Hz refresh rate technology (dubbed ProMotion) of their respective predecessors, but many expectant iPhone fans were hoping that Apple might make this Pro-level feature available to every model in the iPhone 15 line.

randombullet,

To save money, they can go the derelict laptop route.

If they get a low tdp board, maybe like an old laptop without a battery, the power difference isn’t going to be too much. Pi can pull 9W at full tilt. And an old Ultrabook with it’s monitor tuned off or unplugged can probably pull 35-45W at full tilt.

So 45W - 9W = 36W

36w x 24hr x 356 = 315,360Wh

315.36kWh x 0.25 cents = 78.84 a year

But that’s assuming everything is running at full speed. For something running 24/7, we can probably estimate idle state is more common. Laptops can idle about 3-4W a pi4 is also idle around 3-4W.

So 90% at 4W and 10% at 45W for the laptop

And 90% at 4W and 10% at 9W for the pi

Gives us 8.1W average for the laptop

And 4.5W for the pi

Giving us a total difference of 31.536kWh. or 7.88 additional a year.

This is also assuming the laptop has the same computational power as the pi, which isn’t true, so the laptop will end up finishing tasks faster than the pi and use more power for a shorter amount of time.
