EncryptKeeper,

This is why the concept of running services until different ports than default isn’t a real security measure, it doesn’t actually take any effort to figure out what kind of service is running on a port.

Pi-Hole or something else for network ad blocking?

I’ve been aware of pi-hole for a while now, but never bothered with it because I do most web browsing on a laptop where browser extensions like uBlock origin are good enough. However, with multiple streaming services starting to insert adds into my paid subscriptions, I’m looking to upgrade to a network blocker that will...

EncryptKeeper,

As an AdGuard home user for more than a few years, I switched back to Pihole because it wasn’t really any better. It was also easier to pair pihole with Unbound.

EncryptKeeper,

It used to be the Noted.lol posts, then when selfh.st showed up there was drama between the two and then noted kinda disappeared.

PC died. Trying the legal options.

And fuck. I really miss plex. I’ve had Netflix and Hulu forever as family won’t let me cancel. Decided to sign up to Paramount + for some Trek. Twice in lower decks it didn’t save my watched episodes. Doesn’t mark episode as watched if you exit during the credits. And multiple playback issues....

EncryptKeeper, (edited )

You can setup Overseer to manage requests and even sync Plex watchlists so that literally all they have to do is add something to their watchlist.

There is a Jellyseerr which might work the same way.

EncryptKeeper,

Yes, just as good but at 20% higher cost.

EncryptKeeper,

Second Vultr. The usability is pretty close to Linode, with more convenient DC locations.

I have noticed some issues with network throughput, though I don’t use mine for high bandwidth applications and I am on the cheapest tier.

EncryptKeeper, (edited )

No they didn’t grandfather anybody in, they made the price changes to compute universally back in April of last year. The only plan not changed was the $5 nanode so if that’s all you’re running then that’s probably why your bill didn’t change.

EncryptKeeper,

You were using Linode. Now you’re using “Akamai Connected Cloud”. Linode was acquired in 2022 and the brand retired in 2023.

EncryptKeeper, (edited )

It’s not both, it’s Akamai Connected Cloud. The Linode brand has been retired. The vestiges of the Linode brand that are still visible are merely due to Akamai’s sloppy and disordered integration effort. They’ll likely retain the Linode.com domain so as not to break existing API calls, but the switch away from Linode.com as the primary domain, and removal of the name Linode from technical documents and design elements is ongoing.

EncryptKeeper,

And then they act like it’s the employees who are wrong. I bet every single one of the job hoppers enjoying these huge salary benefits would prefer to just chill in the same job forever if it achieved the same thing.

EncryptKeeper,

Given that Nebula is older than Tailscale, and was inspired by tinc, it’d be more accurate to say that Tailscale is the clone.

EncryptKeeper,

My NAS is just a very old Acer desktop from like 2011. I bought a Fractal Meshify 2 case which can hold I think 14 hard drives and moved the internals into that. Works great.

Eventually I had to get a pcie card for more data ports, and replace the power supply with one that’s more than 300w.

EncryptKeeper,

I have the Meshify 2 and I highly recommend it.

I mean it kinda seems like there’s exactly one way to do it. They’re not elaborate costumes by any means, and they’re uniforms so you can’t exactly get creative with it.

EncryptKeeper, (edited )

I’ve never been to a ren fair in my life but I can feel it in my bones that this is one of those eyeroll inducing things where a million of people have done it but they all think they’re the first.

Same probably goes for Doctor Who.

EncryptKeeper,

He was trying to reach a particular place in the cave but wasn’t where he thought he was. Both the place he was trying to reach and the place he actually was, are extremely tight squeezes that are literally impossible to turn around in. The difference is, the place he thought he was, has a large cavern on the other end where you can stand up and turn around. Once he realized he wasn’t where he thought he was, his only real option was to move forward and hope it led somewhere with more room. Falling into the hole the way he did was largely an accident in pursuit of that goal.

EncryptKeeper,

I didn’t get any popup, many others haven’t either.

EncryptKeeper,

The same publishing company (but different development studio) recently released a simplified, licensed Star Trek game built on the Stellaris Engine.

It’s a little rough around the edges right now but it’s an official Star Trek title and it’s much easier to get into than Stellaris, and it’s currently on sale for $20

EncryptKeeper,

The difference is that Lemmy is an answer to Reddit, not Discord. If a Reddit user wants to see if there’s a community for woodworking, he can search for “woodworking” and find it.

If a Lemmy user searches “woodworking” and the biggest woodworking community isn’t on your instance, you have to leave Lemmy and use an external service to search more instances and even then you might not find what you’re looking for.

EncryptKeeper,

For me it’s the way Captain Marvel was shoehorned into the MCU without any real development, and existed as what was basically a walking plot hole. Marvel movies have never been perfect but their whole thing was building characters into it over years. By Infinity War we’d been watching these characters for years and we wanted to watch the end of their stories. Then they just plopped Captain Marvel down into the series at the last second, had the existing legacy characters tell us the audience how to feel about her because the writers knew we wouldn’t care organically, made her disappear in Infinity war and most of endgame because they didn’t actually have anything for her to do except be a deus ex machine at the end of Endgame.

It also doesn’t help that Brie Larson just phones it in any time she’s on screen.

EncryptKeeper,

There are all the anti-women wackos out there but more than hate, I think there are a lot of us that just aren’t interested. And it’s not because we don’t want to watch a movie with female leads, it’s because the characters are just half baked. I have regularly heard from people that they only saw it for Ms Marvel, and then you had to have watched the show. Lots of people don’t want to engage with all the shows.

EncryptKeeper,

The validity of your comment really depends on which movie franchise you’re referencing

EncryptKeeper,

Crazy to think after 15 years this might not be a good April fools joke any longer

EncryptKeeper,

The thing about capitalism is that it DOES promote freedom and innovation. The problem is that continuous innovation is rarely profitable so companies generally won’t bother innovating after a certain point and the text on the reverse side of the freedom coin is “free from consequences”

Capitalism is like… a good start to a much better economic system we haven’t figured out yet.

EncryptKeeper,

Linux runs on the majority of webservers. If you were to look at the usage breakdown of servers in general, Windows would probably be more common, by what I’d imagine would be a wide margin. I’ve never in my life seen an enterprise run anything internally besides Windows Server with Active Directory and a majority fleet of Windows workstations. There isn’t really a viable alternative.

Linux is definitely a go-to as a web server, load balancer, or some other appliance, but behind that a lot of the time are a bunch of Windows Servers as well.
