Alkaline batteries are the crappy ones that leak. Get the more expensive lithium batteries, or go full on rechargeable ones, and you can leave them in without worrying about your device getting ruined.

Star Trek memes and shitposts

What could that possibly mean??

Somewhat related, I’m so annoyed that my USB 3.0 SATA adapter doesn’t pass S.M.A.R.T. data. Didn’t even think to check for such a deficiency. Just another thing to watch out for when buying these adapters.

If you stigmatize psychological care by making it a black mark that shows up on your record, people will just avoid getting the help they need and society will be worse off for it.

Apparently all that data is included in the ActivityPub protocol. On Kbin, every post has an Activity button that shows every user (even those on other instances) that upvoted/downvoted/saved that post. So if a Lemmy post happens to federate to Kbin, all that info can be seen publicly by anyone.

Look up the instructions for your mail provider to set up SPF, DKIM, and DMARC records in your DNS so email services know which emails sent from your domain are actually legit. Without those records telling email servers what’s valid and how to handle what’s not, it’s basically the Spiderman pointing at Spiderman meme.

Dear M. Eminem

I mostly just want to log connections and IPs to have a record of things.

I just use Firefox Sync. Works on all those platforms.

“What’s a checkbox? Oh, you mean that thing we use to trick users into ‘consenting’ to telemetry?”

Yea, I didn’t like that they are going to drop support in the next version or whatever. Not sure if it’s their intended replacement, but Wireguard is installed by default in TrueNAS Bluefin. I recently switched to that, and I find the performance is way better than OpenVPN.

What are you using to monitor wireguard?

In my best Janeway voice: “DEW IT.”

Closed. If there’s a fire in the other parts of your house, you’ll have more time to be alerted and escape.

You’d set your firewall rules to only accept requests from the cloudflare datacenter IPs for those port forwards. So, the ports would be otherwise blocked to anyone else trying to access them directly.

I’m not racist, one of my friends is Black Orion!

It’s join-lemmy.org… .com leads to nowhere.

I don’t think those characterstics are really worth considering when buying switches. For one, you’re going to miss out on a ton of options if you restrict yourself to only switches that advertise those features. More importantly, with how mechanical keyboards are constructed, it’s highly unlikely the board itself is waterproof. So, what good are waterproof switches when the board itself will fry when you spill your soda on it. I also think dust protection is another thing that isn’t going to give any tangible benefit unless maybe you’re typing in the open desert or something.

I have one of these mini PCs arriving soon. A little more money than I wanted to spend and no idea if this brand is any good. But it checks a lot of boxes for a backup server project I’m working on - eMMC for boot, microsd slot, M.2 2280 NVME socket, and a 2.5" SATA connection. They have some other variants as well that don’t cost as much.

I originally got a used Dell Optiplex Micro from eBay for this. They come with a 2.5" SATA connection. But I learned the hard way that not all models come with M.2.
