Mooltipass looks sick actually. I have my reservations regarding the ble part, but I would have to look into it more to understand it. Might get one to check around how well it works (once availability is there)

Curiously enough, I never heard of those. Do you happen to know good ones so I can further check?

Do you want to know the kicker? There are banks (yes, you heard me right) that straight up don't allow more than 20 chars. 20!!! And they say you got to use the app for X things because it's secure and shit (e.g.: use the app to 2FA credit card transactions). Meanwhile, does not allow you to add a yubikey for Fido authentication

For me feels someone is chasing a KPI on PSN users that, quite frankly, gives no one but Sony executives satisfaction on bigger number = better number. Steam on that sense made the correct decision to give back the money on people that cannot play a game anymore because of a future requirement (as mentioned by op, not everywhere psn exists). But for me, even if psn is available, you should be able to refuse to further engage on a game based on a future requirement like this and get the money back (same applies if for instance a game all of a sudden has something like denuvo).

So my take away of this is: please, get rid of kpis, it's about time we learn to get away from hard metrics that can be cheated

Pi hole is an amazing tool and gives a lot of insight on what is being queried and blocked against the block lists. Also, makes completely transparent on the entire network to have nasty things blocked. One thing I will mention to make the setup better: make sure on the firewall level you can have a rule that makes every request for a DNS to go through pi hole. Some devices will use a hard coded DNS instead of respecting the one on the network

No kidding, denuvo made me stop buying games every time because I just detest it and what it stands for. Also, boggles resources way too much (and no, having a root kit is a no no for me). But more importantly, single player games with denuvo is the ultimate low.

The biggest problem with this approach is basically Facebook saying that you have to pay for a right, meaning, if the law tells you that you can, and should, always have a say if you are followed around or not, you mist have that capability. What Facebook is doing is put a right behind a paywall, which is absurd

Want to kmow the weather, lottery results, TV channel program for the day and other info? Go to your TV and check the teletext

You are not wrong in your thinking. However ,if someones lashes at you, then you by turn lash out to someone else unrelated to your issues, and then by consequence that person lashes out again on someone unrelated, very quickly becomes a very long and complicated chain that you simply can't stop from coming at you, but you can stop it from spreading once it reaches you. This has been debated for a very long time as the cycle of rage, which to be honest, I am not sure if we have a way out completely. Maybe over time we care more about emotional intelligence and make these problems less prevalent (but I would not bet on that)

For me was not grand parents but my dad was referring me ALL the time to other people that went to his workshop that I "know about computers" (almost is some sort of arcane knowledge). I remember once somebody approached me with the typical question:

  • Are you the one that "knows about computers"?
  • (cringing inside already) yes that's me
  • You know, I have this fridge that won't cool....

I just left even before he finished the sentence. My dad later that day asked me why I was rude to someone (I know it was this guy). I just told him "imagine you know about cars and somebody asks you fix their fridge". Didn't even need to say more.

So for some people in my place, " knowing about computers " means arcane knowledge with nearly everything with a digital screen on it.

Hey there, I have a (very) small Ubuntu server and I was dabbling on the idea to do system backups (entire system, meaning, if the disk of the said pc fries, I can get another one, put the info from the backup on the new disk, works immediately afterwards). I have a couple of Linux mint machines and a windows one. I searched a lot out there and found several names, from rsync to Borg backup.But ultimately I don't really know if these solutions would fit my use case.

So the question is: is there a feasible way/service that can be self hosted to do backups of local machines, similar to an image backup? Or, if you believe there are better ways to do it, can you please mention it?

Thanks in advance
