You could buy them with /e/OS
pre-installed IIRC, at least some model at some point.
This is like joining an engineering team without transfems, enbies, and cat ears. Your IT infrastructure about to be ass.
I bet that 1234 is used more often because of the 4-character minimum, like PIN codes on debit cards. It's 4 characters so it's safe. 123, on the other hand, is not safe, because it is 3 characters. /s
My solar inverter admin interface has a certain 4-digit password. So I wanted to change it to secure it, and found out that it only allows 4-digit passwords. Luckily the access point can be set up with a higher entropy password though (it is constantly advertised and had a very "secure" 8-digit password by default, I think you can guess which one)
That's crazy and genius!

The way I understand it, there's 2 use cases for a VPN, with different concerns and providers:
- having access to your private home network from anywhere, through an encrypted tunnel (Tailscale, Wireguard on the router, etc)
- having your outgoing traffic to the internet go through an anonymized exit node so that your ISP can not watch or sell what you are doing (ProtonVPN, Mullvad VPN, etc)
Is Tailscale fit for the second? I thought not, as the exit node is not an anonymized VPN server but one of your own machines.

It really is super simple
Just like you! ❤️🥰
It is.
It's also sad that chickens, fishes and shrimps don't look as cute and aren't mourned even though they suffer all the same. They usually don't even get a plural form.

Interesting approach but looks like this ultimately ends up:
- being a lot of babysitting / manual work
- blocking a lot of humans
- not being robust against scrapers
Anubis seems like a much better option, for those wanting to block bots without relying on Cloudflare:

Thanks, I wasn't aware of that!
Makes sense though. Vim plugins exist so anything is possible. Neovim having native support for LSP and DAP makes it a lot easier though.
Do you mean Neovim?
Surely you aren't comparing a flat text editor to an IDE that has language server support, debuggers and refactoring tools?
I want to have VPN enabled always on my phone. I want my music app to work on my phone.
But yeah thanks for asking the right questions: I should split tunnel so the music app can go around the VPN obviously!
I don't need to, I want to. Basic privacy.
Music service that works well with VPN and Music Assistant
We've been wanting to set up Music Assistant and now since we started using ProtonVPN, Apple Music is constantly blocking our account.
Do you have any recommendations for a music service that works well with Music Assistant and from behind VPN?

Any Proton Drive users here?

Amazing to see the progress that Home Assistant has made with backups, nice to see the first integrations adding their backup locations. I would love to be able to store my Home Assistant backups in Proton Drive. I think their API is very limited (most people integrate with it via rsync) and am won...

Are you interested in a Proton Drive backup location in Home Assistant's new built-in backup tool?
Is anyone else doing Advent Of Code in Nix?
Trying to do advent of code in Nix this year because I want to get more comfortable with Nix. Let's see how far I get! - fhoekstra/advent_of_code_2024
Recently got started with Nix and Home-Manager. I thought Advent Of Code would be a good way to get more comfortable with the Nix language.
I don't think I ever made it beyond Day 6 though, even in my most comfortable language (Python) so no idea where this will strand.
I am learning a lot about Nix though!
Have you used the Nix language outside of configuration? Let's share and discuss!
Not seeing new Linux kernels (Fedora) in systemd-boot
Problem: new kernels not showing up in boot menu
I can install new kernels, and I see them in /boot/efi/{PARITION_UUID}, but they don't show up in the systemd-boot menu.
Data
Normally, Fedora shows the 3 latest kernels (plus a recovery kernel) in the boot menu. I only see up to 6.11.6 in the systemd-boot menu. On the /boot partition, I see much newer kernel versions (both labeled fc40 and fc41)

(Tiny) breaking change changes monitor output hex ID
I noticed this immediately because I use kanshi (highly recommended for laptops running sway!). I don't know the how or why (maybe it's the wlroots bump), but when I upgraded Sway to 1.9 today, the Hex ID form one of my external monitors changed. So I had to update it in the config for kanshi to work again.
Just a heads up for other kanshi users, and people whose scripts may be influenced by this.
if this succeeds, WMR headsets might be made Linux compatible and this will turn out to have been on-topic

"I don't have ADHD, I'm just really annoying"
So I recently started to recognize a lot of the behaviors associated with ADHD. I was and still am in doubt whether I have ADHD or not, but some specific events caused me to ask my doctor to refer me for a diagnosis. I was actually doing quite OK-ish this year, after having struggled with self-worth, short depressive episodes and mild trauma in the recent past. But I noticed that I started to have trouble focusing again as the newness wore off after my career change. And I got called out by my friends for "acting ADHD". Which did not sound unusual at all.
So I got the referral, went through the intake with shrink 1, did an adult ADHD diagnosis with shrink 2. The diagnosis involved me and my mom answering questions about the presence of ADHD symptoms now and in my early childhood (5-12 yo). Basically, now I do have almost all of the characteristics, though they often are erratic (no problems studying, huge difficulties with household tasks, work productivity varies orders of magnitude
Sea Harrier FRS.1, 1:72, Hasegawa, with magnets
I finished the Sea Harrier yesterday. My third finished kit. Had some interesting mistakes along the way, and it was the first time reviving such old decals (yellowed and broken). Learned a lot. Given the troubles I had, I am very happy with the end result.
