Jail-based plugins were always half baked and brittle on Core back to when it was still called FreeNAS. Updates seemed to require complicated manual intervention every time and trying to do it through the UI was a death sentence. Scale is a

True, I was thinking a simple environment variable or systemd configurable would be fine but I guess an alias is a good idea.

Is that even a problem? Any program can shell out to sudo, hence why you shouldn't set NOPASSWD in sudoers. Polkit takes in a request on an unprivileged interface, that request is evaluated in privileged code against the set of privile

It was a bit unclear to me from the thread, is there a persistent configuration option for this? I like the idea of tinting the terminal, but I also want to be able to turn it off with a global config option rather than having to type out a

I applaud trying to be positive and focus on "this is what we do well," but yeah at least some explicit comparison would help. The copy right now is kind of assuming the reader already knows Ansible to compare against as a baselin

Ultimately SGI was running Linux and AFAIK the actual hardware isn't using any secret sauce driver code, so yeah if you can get it powered on without it bursting in flames and get past the management locks you can probably get it worki

Oh I'm speaking from experience with the SGI supercomputer blades. They're pretty wacky, 4x independent, dual cpu boards per blade and all sorts of weird connectors and cooling and management interfaces. Custom, centralized liquid

I can imagine it, some people on there are ridiculous, but yeah in my experience these supercomputer nodes are a lot more integrated/proprietary than most standard server hardware. It's not straightforward to just boot one up wi

Every ESP8266 module I've ever used had a chunk of flash memory you could use for persistent storage that survived reboots/poweroff too. It's used to store WiFi credentials in a lot of frameworks, but you can stick other data

Finding a powerbank that doesn't auto shut off with small power draws from a esp/microcontroller is hit or miss, it's not something that is advertised and the threshold can vary wildly. There are workarounds but they can get

I've had good luck buying from the Wemos and Lilygo official stores on AX. Have had no problems in many years and dozens of orders. Other sellers are a gamble.

Yeah hand carryable jammers are a thing you can find them for sale easily which kinda blows my mind considering there's (AFAIK) no legal use for them, nor even any grey area semi-valid use. Granted I've never bought one so maybe a

Does it have the hardware? Per the article the CPU and available flash memory are super limited.

Synology uses BTRFS weirdly, on top of dmraid, which negates the most well-known BTRFS bugs in their RAID5/6 implementation*. Best I can tell they also have some custom modifications in their implementation as well, though it's ha

I'm far from an expert but many (most?) kinds of spring are hardened steel. It's not hard to imagine how they might shatter under the right stress.

Do note that you can opt out of ACR and data collection, though who knows what data they are still harvesting anyway. Most/practically all newer TVs are doing it, even e.g. my high end LG. Sadly opting out of this junk is the first thi

No. Loosely speaking, Zwave pretty strictly defines a list of device types (lightbulb, thermometer, etc) and supported formats for read/writes to it by device type (turn on/off, reports temperature,...). The API to handle those is

The ESP32 usually uses a 1.1V reference, however (unlike the ESP8266), it has a variable attenuation setting that allows you to measure voltages higher than Vref. https://docs.espressif.com/projects/esp-idf/en&#x2F

Short answer is no. It's been a while since I last looked at it but the long answer is "kinda in a hacky way, with a lot of work, and Ring is gonna fight you the whole way because they want you to pay." Example: https:/

That ambiguity is beneficial, they can simply say you did whatever they want to say with the VPN usage as a pretext.

Yep, playing whack-a-mole trying to block it is a losing battle long term, but for now it kinda works. Serving content from the same endpoints is indeed the whole point because it makes it hard to block without collateral damage. Probably t

You can at least partially mitigate this by simply blocking the major DNS-over-https endpoints. There aren't that many. However, in my experience this really pisses off some devices e.g. Google/Nest Home speakers even if you have
