IPv6 should not be disabled under any circumstances.

In fact, many devices in my house have IPv4 disabled. Disabling IPv4 on my public-facing SSH reduced the attack traffic to zero.

IPv4 is shit.

Public-facing: Password generator, stored in a password manager.

Internal LAN: Everything gets the same re-used, low-effort password.

Nobody is going to hack my CUPS server.

Because it’s from 8 years ago and it never happened.

Yep. It’s your car to do with it what you want. The ADRs (Australian Design Rules) only apply at point of sale. Once it’s yours, it merely needs meet roadworthy requirements. As long as you keep a functioning speedo, wipers and lights, you can rip out every bit of electronics in the car.

I visited last year. The way they handle trash is just black magic. There are almost no bins on the street. Everything is in disposable packaging. Yet, there is absolutely no litter.

The craziest example was Asakusa. I was walking around for 30 mins.holding about 10 food wrappers in my hand. Eventually a nice merchant offered me a plastic bag to put it all in when I purchased a drink.

Don’t search for reviews. Search for forum posts where users are having issues. “[Product] + [not working/failed/broken]” gets you an idea of what the product is like to live with, and now quickly issues get resolved.

TL;DR: Baka gaijin.

My kitchen has a solid ban on any product with the word “maker” in the name. They’re all junk that take up space and do a worse job than conventional methods.

An air fryer though. That was money well spent.

“Reaped” is the word Google are using.

They’re already back online, and they managed to do it without missing a pension payment.

Seven out of 10 Europeans believe their country takes in too many immigrants

…So, 30% of EU are immigrants?

Most of the reason I liked reddit (and use Lemmy) is because I use it almost exclusively while people are talking. Sound must always be off.

I did have LUKS and a USB flash drive with a key to be inserted on boot. It was definitely difficult and caused performance issues. It was particularly difficult to add/remove drives from the array. These days I only encrypt my off-site backups that sit at the office where my coworkers potentially have physical access.

There have been recent advancements in TPM so disk encryption is easier to maintain and doesn’t affect performance. I’ll need to investigate this one day. My server/NAS is a 4th-gen i5, so it may not support the functions I would need. Full disk encryption will land in Ubuntu soon. I’m hanging out for that.

I personally would flick through the OpenWRT supported devices and pick the best supported device with 802.11ax.

Hot warheads.

Sour warheads are great and all, but I really loved the hot ones.

Everything exposed except NFS, CUPS and Samba. They absolutely cannot be exposed.

Like, even my DNS server is public because I use DoT for AdBlock on my phone.

Nextcloud, IMAP, SMTP, Plex, SSH, NTP, WordPress, ZoneMinder are all public facing (and mostly passworded).

A fun note: All of it is dual-stacked except SSH. Fail2Ban comparatively picks up almost zero activity on IPv6.

“That’s the neat part!”

Well, I wait until they’re in bed at about 10:30PM, then I have until about midnight to get the kitchen clean and get 6 hours of sleep before they wake up again to go to school.

Alternatively, I clean the kitchen before cooking and serve dinner at 8PM when I started at 5:30. Then it’s only 30 mins of cleaning before bed.

On Saturdays, you can clean up the kitchen after breakfast, and by the time it’s done you have to cook lunch. After that, there’s still an hour before the shops shut so you can grab some groceries and get back in time to cook dinner.

My wife/kids recently got me Kirby’s Dreamland for a Gameboy that I’ve had since about 1990 and never had any decent titles for.

Testdisk and photorec? It’s saved me heaps of times.

I’ve named my dog “in-the-way dog”. No matter what you’re trying to get done, there he is.

Open a drawer? He’s blocking it. Walking through a doorway? Step over him. Carrying a hot saucer to the sink? He’s right at your feet when you turn around.
