Monthly subscription with Classpass (App). Discovered several new workouts I really like, HIIT and spinning classes in particular. Did them almost daily before lockdown happened here. Can't wait to get back at it. Their subscription mo

That sounds to me like you're having an emotional / nostalgic response to things you were exposed to during your youth. And there is some kind of novelty to watching older commercials, no doubt. But IMO that wears of quickly. What

Very nice! Great for junior sysadmins, or people wanting to get into that kind of work. Discovering that the target machine is hosted on AWS halfway through reminds me of previous gigs .. revealing essential information about the infrastruc

Anyone having issues with nextcloud client segfaulting after upgrading from 20.10 to 21.04? Running Xubuntu. Their latest AppImage seems to work though.

I wonder how much more effective malicious scripts might be if something like "curl -L 16843009" is used as an obfuscation. Sure, it would have to check the locally installed curl version first. But hiding something like this away

I've said it before, but the entire ad business is a cancer. Every minute of the modern human experience is exploited for maximizing profits. I've read an interview recently with an journalist / documentary film maker (forgot

Yes exactly. If you don't understand the controls, reading the linked FAQ is really worth it and doesn't take that long.

One short story in Cory Doctorow's "Radicalized" is exactly about that. In the story, immigrants living in social housing supplied with "smart" appliances are only allowed pre-approved detergent, among other things.

Nice writeup, but another detail I'm very positively surprised about - no external resources, no 3rd party JS libraries or external tracking, not even on their landing page. This is an exceedingly rare thing these days!

I'm running a few bare-metal Hetzner servers (Falkenstein and Helsinki). Can recommend. Reliable, comparatively cheap and tickets are usually responded to within 24 hours. One time I even got through to the guy swapping defective hard

It's simple really. Have your doctor take a blood sample, get it tested for vitamin D deficiency and regulate your intake accordingly. I've had myself tested december last year, mostly out of curiosity. Turns out I was severly def

Yep, analytics is disabled. Thanks for the link, didn't look into the data being sent. But I can't confirm my devices trying to send out data if I SSH into them (just tried it for the 1st time).

You're probably right, but blocking doesn't seem to be a problem. I'm going to leave it like that for now. Not sure I would need any more firmware updates for hardware which came out 3-4 years ago anyway, but I think enabling

Mentioned it before, but since a few days ago my unifi devices (2 wifi APs, a small switch, plus one Debian VM with the controller, all on it's on VLAN) are not allowed to do outbound traffic anymore, with the exception of NTP, DNS and

I'm running one on an older RPi at home. Never really "needed" it, but sending text messages for free from an airplane wifi somewhere above the atlantic ocean felt like a nice nerdy flex.

Yeah my few Unifi devices (and the controller SW instance) are already restricted to their own VLAN, but I'm going to disable outgoing internet access as well.

Maybe somewhat nostalgic, but I remember cycling through many artworks by digitalblasphemy [1] during the early-mid 2000s. Honestly surprised to see there's still new content! [1] https://digitalblasphemy.com/

I often think about that. If I can thoroughly convince myself to believe a factual lie, would classic lie detector devices still work on me?

I see you're somewhat bitter about this topic. Is that a good way to present your argument though? It seems to me that this kind of sentiment ("I've experienced hardships or know people who did, so why does this group deserve
