Yup, since a specific subscription I already pay for started inserting ads randomly into their programs, I've added a second 16TB seedbox to my house. Now if I hear that someone at home is interested in a particular series, or that an old program has been added to the service that someone wants to watch, I just queue it up for download and watch it on the TV using the VLC app.

In other news, Piracy is still free.

This meshes with the news that Boeing is run by accountants, not engineers, like it used to be.

I always heard this joke as "If you hold a stoat up to your ear, you can hear the sound of your own voice, screaming."

Uh, one side is unrelenting about suppressing everyone else's rights, and has demonstrated that they're willing to take control by force and violence if they don't get 'their ideals'. If you're on that side, you're an asshole, and being 'painted' as an asshole is the least that you deserve.

Please stop for a moment, step outside your yourself, and ask... "Am I the baddie?"

Reeks of desperation to bring back the porn after how literally every other mainstream platform has walked away from it.

I’m going to concede defeat here because obviously I’m not doing a good enough job in explaining my position.

It's because your position is indefensible given recent history and the trajectory of the political landscape.

To add to this, self-hosting is also best when you minimize everything - limited service, with limited functionality, on dedicated hardware that doesn't share access to your internal network or storage. Folks who use point-and-click apps to install a half dozen unauthenticated docker containers, all open to the internet, running on the same PC they store the only copy of their family photos and music/movie collection on... make me crazy.

Not strictly teh ciberrz, but upgrading to OpenBSD 7.5. Might rebuild a mail server this weekend.

I use it for managing the RFID keyfobs for my building. I can keep copies of each apartment's fobs -- which makes it trivially easy to disable lost fobs by using the 'delete' fob, followed by the lost fob (or all of the fobs for a specific resident), then re-enable new ones.

I've also played with the NFC toys, but the built-in capabilities are rather limited. I was able to copy a RFID hotel room key (a room which I was staying in) by cracking keys with the F0 itself, which just shows how terribly weak these things are.

I haven't been able to use the SubGHz module to do anything particularly interesting aside from cloning a remote control for a fan and an LED light.

It's a neat toy, and it absolutely exposes how trivially easy it is to break access control systems.

If a website you're using uses SMS for 2FA, then you seriously need to switch companies.

 

I guess we just can't have nice things.

The dumb part was relying on ads. There are privacy-focused crypto tokens out there.
