@markovs_gun @Abraxas Kids are being banned from all social media here in Australia soon. Including, it seems, YouTube lol.
Expensive and completely unworkable. Reminds me I must spin up that Mastodon instance for my kids and their mates :mastodondance:
It’s absolutely not about making sure everyone signs up to DigitalID.

@SheeEttin @AdrianTheFrog +1 Email for me is basically irrelevant. MFA resets, adverts from companies I forgot to unsubscribe from and a couple of bills. No personal correspondence or anything I would think is worth self-hosting it for these days. Other than many headaches.

@BigTrout75 @Squiddork and ffs print out some instructions on how to access it all. And tell someone where you’ve put that.
Consider using a decent password manager and you’ll only need to let your loved ones know how to get into that.

@Ek-Hou-Van-Braai depends what you’re labbing. any sort of virtualisation etc then a mini PC from Beelink or Bosgame etc. networking have a look at Ubiquiti stuff.
yes, you can get “refurbished” stuff pike Cisco switches or whatever. but consider if big, old, slow, power hungry, umsupported kit is what you are ok with (it may well be)

@BeardedGingerWonder @BOFH666 always worth googling around for the Service Manual rather than User Manual for those things. And YouTube. Probably find the correct order in which to take it apart without too many curses.

@4am @BOFH666 would it know if you filled the rinse aid reservoir with water?

@p03locke @shalafi i have a primary email that uses a TLD released in 2014. I use it for any mails that aren’t e.g. government or financial. The number of systems/servers/transports that haven’t been updated to accept it is quite an annoyance.
I avoid email anyway.

@ivanafterall @ramble81 IRC with emoticons

@stetech Thanks for the nudge. This is the one https://timsh.org/tracking-myself-down-through-in-app-ads/

@Confused_Emus @rtxn Figuring out DNS is always fun.
And never ever ever make any, even small, DNS change on a Friday. Unless you don’t like weekends.
Is it time to break out the DNS haiku and pray to the name gods?

@stetech @Xraygoggles there was a good article i read a couple of weeks ago about a guy who fired up a factory reset iPhone, opted out of all the crap but logged all connections it made (on his router). remind me tomorrow and i’ll try and dig it out. i reckon you’d like it

@Nevermore9197 @sunzu2 back to #IRC

@stetech @Xraygoggles yes if you’re able to either configure your router to tell tge tv to use it (DHCP), or you can set your TV’s network settings directly. adguard probably have guides on how to do it

@miss_demeanour @Semi_Hemi_Demigod Now you’ll have an open bottle of port in your cabinet for 10 years until you fancy another glass or a recipe calls for it

@muntedcrocodile @crony I used to run Exchange and have had various others for my 2 person house. Sometimes overkill. These days I don’t think I’d bother running mail at home, even on reliable hardware, a decent connection and with a static IP. Hassles with getting on/off blacklists even with all DKIM, SPF etc being in place are things I don’t want to deal with these days.
My incoming mails are a couple of bank notifications, monitoring alerts and notes from schools and sports clubs. A lot of system admin for not much actual use.
I might revisit it once the winter evenings come in.

@echodot @Redex68 off top of my head, script generation. making content more readable. dictating a brain dump while walking and having it spit out a cohesive summary.

it’s all about the prompt you put in. shit in/shit out. And making sure you check/understand what it spits out. and that sometimes it’s garbage.

@angrystego @RangerJosey pretty sure we agreed on WankerPanzer

@hansolo @columbus this is the way
