@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

@ParetoOptimalDev @ivanafterall i did read that #simplex wasn’t as reliable as some alternatives. happy to be told that’s garbage though

@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.

@Geobloke @glinncor make the beer 5 litres?

@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.

@django @ThePrimitive I once got a similar “you’ve opted out of company support” for ordering and installing additional RAM in my laptop from my department budget.
I lol’d in 8GB

@Tangent5280 @spongeborgcubepants I think the days of worrying about SSDs failing like that during its expected lifespan are over for all practical applications.

@DragonsInARoom @cantstopthesignal it’s their time

@MrMobius @hanke depends what you’re doing. A Raspberry Pi can be surprisingly powerful. Can run NAS, websites, proxies, things like NextCloud, PiHole.
Cheaper than paying someone for hosting a small server? Maybe. But there’s pros and cons of both.

@Sturgist @Squizzy #Suzuki #MightyBoy has entered the chat https://www.teammightyboy.com/suzuki-mightyboy-history.html

@angrystego @RangerJosey pretty sure we agreed on WankerPanzer

@hansolo @columbus this is the way

@hendrik @muntedcrocodile then don’t use that app. Done.

@ParetoOptimalDev @asunaspersonalasst That’s the thing that put me off. I brain couldn’t reconcile the idea of de-Googling by buying something from Google.

@Voroxpete @silence7 something about Proton has never sat right with me. And having seen Brave used in the same sentence as “crypto” put me off them too. I mostly use Fennec or Firefox, with all the dodgy shit turned off

@iopq @threshold_dweller There’s been quite a few wired earbuds with ANC over the years. Not many now though. I would imagine they sound like a dreadful compromise.
