One of the things it asks permission for when hooking up Bluetooth etc is “call history”, “contacts” or “text messages”

I’d assume the system needs those to read it messages or call/redial. It wouldn’t need OCR to do other things with that data

I can’t recall if I limited to Google’s IP’s or not actually. Just that I wanted to prevent their devices from ignoring the DHCP provided hosts

I setup a NAT rule that redirects anything going to the Google DNS IP’s send sends it to my own DNS server.

I generally only drink instant for late night decaf, though the premixed Korean instant coffee packets are a treat every hour and then

I’ve had windows do this to me randomly before, especially if it’s an interface that comes up a bit late. Be careful that it doesn’t change back on you

Have you ever used PFSense? How do you find it compares to Opnsense, and - for anyone with experience - how hard would it be to migrate from one to the other these days?

GL-Inet AX1800

OpenWRT, accessible via the advanced (LUCI) interface. You can define a bunch of SSID’s including guest networks and/or bind them to VLAN’s

Some people - many people in larger cities - literally to that far to/from work on a daily basis (which IMO is kinda crazy and I’m glad the push for WFH is helping change that)

I’ve tried to deal with several vendors regarding abusive domains and it’s pretty terrible in general. Everything is a webform with a generic responder - if any at all - and then weeks or months or nothing. Even domains impersonating proper commercial entities.

• GoDaddy: here’s the real domain, now here’s the domain registered via you, cloned from the real domain (including text, corporate logos, etc with some additional chinese crap) and being used for phishing/scams. Their response: “fill out this bullshit form that goes nowhere”
• CloudFlare: “uh, we don’t actually host the site (just the DNS and “protection” service that hides who does) sorry” Google: “we’ll continue showing the scam/phishing domain in top search results after your reports because apparently accurate search results aren’t actually our thing”

Oh yeah baby. Let’s fork all day and make a bunch of child processes!

It’s like AI inbreeding. Flaws will be amplified over time unless new material is added

A good joystick or even gamepad can help a fair bit with the control. Keyboard sometimes felt… complicated

The same way they have with Facebook, Google etc. If they continue to do business in Europe with European users, they comply with European law or get fined significant amounts.

I think it will last, but little Reddit will as well, though possibly in a lesser state as some subs move here or elsewhere

Done!

Ain’t that the truth. Pi4 anything over 1Gb especially seems difficult to source

The big issue with laptops tends to be cooling, but something with a decent CPU and enough RAM can still do a good job since in many cases you’re not tapping the graphics chip/core, which is often the biggest source of heat.

That said, for small personal services even an 8GB Pi4 can do a pretty decent job.

In most cases I’d just want to DM somebody to ask about something on Lemmy (i.e. message a mod) so nothing that I’d be too worried about privacy with, but yeah I kinda assumed they’re not super secure.

Then again I doubt Reddit etc were either
