yeah I was pleasantly surprised by this one. I bought it more for the form factor and figured meh, if it performs really badly and I need…

Worked out to $290 after a bit of aliexpress-fu. There were some on there are low as $140 but I'm pretty sure they're scams. It's just a…

that'll be pretty easy to move across. The easiest / quickest way will probably be to just DD the entire disk across to the proxmox server.…

This hasn't been true for probably a decade. I was the guy who would bang on about how much more memory efficient linux is and how much of…

I've got a chuwi minibook x with a somewhat throttle n100 from what I gather and it's pretty decent honestly. I run a small managed service…

For the most part, outside of DNS nothing really important traverses the internet that isn't end to end encrypted anymore. End to end…

damn I wrote that comment a long time ago. We're not talking about encrypting at rest. If you encrypt at rest then of course the provider…

I'm rocking an Aldi one I impulse bought for $20 the other week. My local still had a few the other day. Big one for an AGM though.

Quite the miscalculation then, I completely missed that they were 3.2V. Still, with this deal you're barely more expensive than kings and…

Caravans / camping really. For the price for 420ah that's actually stupidly cheap for a lifepoe4 battery. Also that's a lot of capacity,…

ah so its homekit that you guys are after, that does make more sense. I use homeassistant and the tuya stuff works well enough with it,…

Sorry that happened to you, it's a really shit situation / catch 22 isn't it though. I have a friend who has had similar cardiovascular…

I wish mine didn't turn on when I unlocked my car honestly. It's a pain in the ass, go to get something from your car, phone connects.

My opinion: Keep the work phone in your car and turn it off at the end of your work day, don't carry it anytime you're not paid to be on…

Yep, as another person in the industry. Buy your own stuff mate, not worth them having the control, ability to remote wipe etc.…

My partner (female) manages maybe 30 people total or so and yeah it's definitely a thing. A decent amount of them are friends of friends,…

Exactly Perhaps we should see the same in other female dominated industries. What about a job posting specifically asking for male…

Did similar upgrades, although I didn't pay for the ilo license and skipped the SFP card. In the end I bit the bullet and upgraded, going…

These were great little boxes that I used to be able to buy for like $600-700 and tack on a 3 year onsite warranty. They had full OOB…

NAS / Servers are just desktops made to run long term. In reality most business grade systems make great NAS boxes, but these little N100…

hahaha I was looking for this comment

I required an SMS to send $750 yesterday. I mean yeah SMS is shit but it's "technically" 2FA. I think what you've described is only a thing…

No worries, for what it's worth half the time we forget to lock the sliding door a lot of the time. You should be able to jump over the…

That'd be a hell of a sales pitch though. Go around selling secure replacements to install, clone a garage door remote to show them how…

yeah, these wire up same as a push button switch does. Just 2 wires joined together briefly to tell it to open / close (like pushing a…

Exactly,it's always social engineering or something stupid on the end users end. I'd have to be real damn important / wealthy / who knows…

Why does everyone seem to love these meross ones over others? I've got some $20 tuya ones including the reed switch and they've been…

Similarly I found integration of the smartlife ones into Alexa to be pretty shit house. If it's an option, I've created scenes in smartlife…

Scanners are useless these days as they use rolling codes if I'm not mistaken aren't they? But perhaps that technology is also kinda…

My perspective, as someone who works in IT... You're right these platforms aren't as secure as a bank by any means. But you need to…
