It’s just their way of stirring up an auction on the underground channels.

I’m in the Android ecosystem and I bought some compatible with the Google Find My network.

I use them on my keys, inside my kids backpack (both in elementary school), one hidden inside my car, a spare that I put inside the bag I use that day when commuting (laptop bag, backpack, luggage) and another one attached to my dog’s collar.

The last one ended up being useful a couple of times, I couldn’t find my dog in the house and he was sleeping under our bed, and another time he was sleeping on a white blanket the kids left bunched up on the floor and he was basically invisible on it (he’s all white) 🤣

Eufy cameras linked to their HomeBase for storage, or you can send the cameras recording to your own NAS through RTSP.

Basically a nothingburger…

Optical disks. It was almost a necessity on laptop to have an optical drive, now there’s maybe one or two models out there that comes with one.

Some niche stuff that I can’t find a sizeable community elsewhere, but that’s about it.

I’m putting my new NAS to good use, all my homies use my Plex server. 🫡

Still, most people will look at the TV during the meeting, so all you see is one side of their faces.

We tried the owls in some of our meeting rooms and we scrapped those.

What’s the point of having a 360 camera in the center of the room when everyone will stare at the big TV anyway? All the people at the other end see is everyone looking sideway to the camera.

It’s mostly to avoid a lossless capture, recording it will lead to quality loss.

Most people don’t care, so they’ll download whatever they can.

Your best bet for quality dubbed content is to find the raw blu-ray torrent (check for the included audio tracks), and retranscode to x264, x265 or AV1 with Handbrake and the audio tracks you want to keep. No need to tinker with a/v sync from there.

You either have

• Easy to use
• Will eventually lose support
• May remain unpatched

or

• Require more maintenance
• You can run the OS of your choice
• It’s your responsibility to ensure it remains patched

I decided I wanted something long-term, and bought a NAS appliance I can boot my own OS onto it, so I went with the Ugreen DXP2800.

I’m running Ubuntu LTS, with Cockpit as the webUI to manage parts of it, and my web services are all running through podman containers (aka quadlets).

There’s a bit of a learning curve, which is the price I was willing to accept.

Every instance have their own ToS, each of them with their own threshold of tolerance with having to deal with potential piracy inquiry on their server.

You may want to have a dead man’s switch so that the server shuts down without your intervention, or there’s the possibility that a forensic team could retrieve the encryption key in RAM through some physical attacks.

I host a couple of encrypted snapshots in the cloud (stuff that I can’t afford to lose), but it’s still vastly cheaper to host a massive amount of data locally.

The stuff I have locally is mostly stuff I can recover elsewhere (yarr), so redundancy without backup is good enough cost-wise.

Why would trump be mad?

It proves his power isn’t absolute, so I can see him requiring a huge dose of

(Although, according to RFK Jr and his voice that ressembles a garbage disposal and his face that looks like a microwaved Mel Gibson, that could cause autism).

Good thing the fediverse is decentralized :)

Up yours, fascists!

Look at me owning an Xbox even less.

Me too, but they’re all on my Plex server for all my homies to see.

But even then, they’re only liable if they distribute it themselves. Why go the extra mile of blocking the addon being sideloaded, as it’s solely done by the user?
