There are certainly are bigger issues in the world right now, sure, but it isnt about “rights for software”, it is about the ability people to talk about what they want (in this case, software)

Server is running the password manager for myself and family, and that needs to stay on while gone (there are ways of handling local copies and they sync later, but when ive accidentally had to troubleshoot that it sucks).

Then ive got nextcloud, which while i don’t normally need things on there i do enough that it is nice to have.

I asked a very good, thoughtful question yesterday and within 5 minutes got a downvote with no comment or explanation or feedback as to why. Ive got around 3k rep, not while im not a poweruser or whatever i aint new to it.

Glad other people engaged with it productively, but yea was a real “this is what people have been talking about”

I turned off QoS and immediately am getting 930 on speedtest.net from the desktop browser!

Also, very helpful to know Issue 1 here. I assumed that the router would be the best spot to test since it is farthest upstream (other than the modem). I didn’t know it could pass traffic faster than it can decode, but that makes sense that people would have tried to make that the case. The router is still getting ~500 Mbps while the browser is much closer to the full 1000.

fast.com gives 500 Mbps

going to librespeed.org got me 482 down

that makes sense, and I’m looking now. However, the only thing that has anything other than zero in the ‘Real-time rate’ on the router is the computer i’m typing this on, which is at ~30KB/s up and down

I’ve got a coax cable (not fiber) coming into the house, in the USA. My understanding is that there is some amount of shared network with the neighbors.

That is the correct question, and mostly no, I don’t have any specific problem.

The biggest motivator for me looking at it is probably just hobby/interest/how-does-this-work.

That said, my partner and I both work from home ~50% and are often pulling files/data that are a couple GB from the work network, and having those go faster would be nice. Probably the limiting factor in those, though, is the upload from the work network and so faster download for us likely wouldn’t matter, but I’d like to be able to say “I looked into it, honey.”

“DO NOT EVER TURN THIS SERVER OFF - CALL RON” is very good

If you arent an actual journalist who is being personally, specifically hunted then you probably don’t need to take the same precautions as one.

And yea, the guide boils down to “none of these things are 100% safe but they are realistic things you can do that can offer more protection than not doing them.”

Your skimming of the article missed how they do indeed talk about the shortcomings of every suggestion they have. For example, the article also does indeed talk about how you can turn off gps but your phone will still ping towers revealing your location, and goes on to say that you can put your phone in a faraday bag but that isnt practical for most people but is indeed an option if you want to do it.

I use the parental controls on the router to put the roomba in grounded-child mode.

That said, I’m not actually positive it works… it is able to connect to home assistant, so it definitely has local network connectivity, but I haven’t proved to myself that it is actually unable to connect to its remote servers since it isn’t really that big of a deal to me.

The git repo should ignore the venv folder, so when you clone you then create a new one and activate it with those steps.

Then when you are installing requirements with pip, the repo you cloned will likely have a requirements.txt file in it, so you ‘pip install -r requirements.txt’

This article isnt about how emails associated with logins got released in a breach, but that documents that are uploaded to the archive are stamped with the email address of the account that uploaded it and that can be viewed by anyone who downloads the document.

So in standard, everyday use of the site, email addresses are being revealed and are associated with the actions of that person. Like if I upload a copy of the manual for my washing machine or something, which is a more benign example, my email is linked to that document now.

Then combine this with (1) the internet archive says in multiple spots that they dont reveal this info anywhere, and (2) the issue has been raised to the organization, and it becomes more of a specific negligence from them.

The nsa wants to watch people who are watching the pornhub video of someone else watching porn. The third level there is more difficult to find

Playing games was fine - it was loading things up that has sucked. I haven’t gotten dota up on the SSD yet, but on the HDD it was real clunky and would half-load the landing page and sit there for ~10 seconds.

The biggest difference, though, is that firefox now opens immediately instead of taking ~10 seconds after clicking the icon

Datasette is a neat tool intended to publish static data in a sqlite database on the web with a helpful gui and a bunch of extensions available. I havent come across a good enough reason to do it myself, but may do what you want.

You can spin it up locally and it wont be on the web at all, just accessed via your browser if thats what you want.

The folks who found it are presenting at Defcon this weekend, according to the article.

I imagine some of the industry press (i.e. Wired) are just looking through the Defcon agenda to figure out what to write. I saw two or three other articles about hacks or exploits and things like that that also mentioned it was bring presented at Defcon.
