My stupid ass thought o7 was an astronaut movie I hadn’t seen yet

In our house we refer to the slotted spoon as the ‘Jesus spoon’ because it’s holy. My eldest daughter recently said she thought it was because when Jesus was crucified he was holey. I’ve havent thought about it the same way since

Except for that time I took out the battery because it was swollen and took the screen off to help with cooling. At least I still have my K and M

Copy paste is easy. You just tap on the, no wait you tap on the, fuck hold on. You tap, there we are, on the word and hold until it highlights. No wait hold on. Fuck. There we are. Ok now you tap on the highlighted word to copy, fuck wait Ah fuck it just type it again yourself

You didn’t happen to buy your Christmas crackers from Harrods did you?

You can either set a DHCP reservation in your router, or manually set the IP on the device.

When I say private IP, I’m referring to the internal IP e.g 192.168.1.X

Means internally I just go to the domain without having to remember the IP I set.

I don’t even bother with the internal DNS server. I just set my A records in Cloudflare to point to the private IPs

Who said it was better? It’s just my favourite.

Like my favourite shirt, it’s no better than the others, but it brings me a little joy :)

• on a serious note though, thank you for sharing your two examples - I didn’t know they existed.

Also my favourite way to push a core to 100% CPU

yes > /dev/null

On my work computer I can absolutely see the benefit of asking “what’s that website I found last week with the …”

On the other hand, there’s no way in hell it’s not grabbing all the sensitive stuff on my screen nobody else should be seeing.

The convenience just isn’t worth the risk

This guy has a similar message to share

I don’t know how to mark this as NSFW, but headphones in work people :)

I was on Amazon the other day buying a replacement light.

A little banner on the item description advertised the new 2024 model. It has “ai integration” of some sort. Same price. I actively chose the older model. I can’t be the only one who thinks like this.

I use letsencrypt a lot, if firewalls are an issue I’ll use dns authentication.

If you are struggling and need a quick fix, the free tier of zero ssl will do a similar thing

I used it to get a cert for my printer

I use Cloudflare tunnels for this very reason, you can protect access to the page behind a login (I use azure AD).

It basically acts like a reverse proxy allowing me access to those local resources without anything being installed on the client computer.

My HP printer had a hard limit of 16 characters. My password manager generated 20 characters. The login form had no issue accepting 20 characters, which were of course wrong.

Just another reason to not buy HP I guess

The amount of success I’ve had with optout@businessdomain.tld is unreal

What about a woman with no legs?

If you use NGINX proxy manager you’ll also be able to use a FQDN with SSL for your local services without them being exposed to the internet. It means your local users won’t see the scary insecure page when they access services.

You can even set your public dns records to have Plex.yourdomain.tld point to the local IP of NGINX - removing the need for local dns entirely. That way if you do need to access a service outside with tailscale; their subnet router feature will just work out of the box.
