For the size of data that oil exploration requires, tapes make lots of sense still.

They have higher density, and they are more shock proof. When you need to move masses of data round the world, writing it to tape, then sticking it on a plane is still the fastest way to move it (probably, may have changed I guess)

Removing the creators name/watermark isn't going to help matters

It's good for some stuff - it means you get strong unique passwords for sites etc.

BUT

The fact it auto completes basically means that if someone gets access to your phone/computer while it's logged in, they can log into anything. (A password is normally required to actually VIEW them? - maybe not on desktop!)

I use the built in manager for most days to day stuff, but anything financial or non browser based is stored in keepass. It's a bit annoying, but way more secure that way.

Do I need to have played the first one to play the second one?

It's not like search engines are not storing your search history though?

What is the difference between an AI search and a search engine one? You are giving it the same information?

Reddit felt like it was becoming more controlled by "the algorithm". Here, it's a lot more basic, that can be nice, but can be annoying.

Apparently Wales already has a complete coastal path, so you have to walk the entirety of Wales before getting to 8!

[–] Nighed@feddit.uk 5 points 1 week ago

It (mostly) gives access between the path and the sea too! Rules are here: https://www.gov.uk/guidance/manage-your-land-on-the-england-coast-path

What version are you on? I'm on 2.44

[–] Nighed@feddit.uk 6 points 1 week ago (3 children)

It's there! The theme sub menu is at the top, I missed it the first time.

They didn't own the car parks, they leased them on long, expensive leases they couldn't get out of, or sell.

Article's headline, not mine!

I disagree, with the headline, but it does at least mention astroturfing etc.

 

Seems to go to an alternate front end, but not load?

 

... Who would have thought?

Would link to the status page.... But it's down!

 

They sell things that come in cups, or with napkins. Lots of people cycle/run/walk here instead of driving, seems pretty stupid.

Taking away the bins doesn't mean you don't produce rubbish....

Edit: I think there is still a bin IN the cafe, but most people eat/drink outside. Lots of people asking staff where the bins are. Still hypocritical I think though? (And still mildly infuriating to remove well used bins!)

Hi, I'm looking for some recommendations, mostly looking for pointers of where to go and look at/research stuff as I have no idea what is good and what is just well advertised.

Intro: I have finally entered the world of (almost) Gigabit internet, which is opening up options with what I can host.

I currently have:

  • Pi hole on an actual RP (will probably remain there because its easy)
  • Inbound Wireguard VPN on my old router (will stop working when my old ISP stops service) EDIT: my new ISB gave me a router, but it doesn't have VPN functionality
  • Foundry VTT that I run up on my gaming machine when needed

I will probably also be upgrading my gaming PC in the next few months, so my current rig will probably be put behind the TV to use as a server and for couch gaming.

Info/recommendations I would like:

  • VPN software (I want to VPN INTO my network) My goto would be wireguard, is that still a good option? (I assume I just port forward the VPN ports to the server?)
  • Private cloud/File server: I both want to be able to occasionally (but permamently) host files publicly, but still have the main store be available on the local network only. Is that going to be two pieces of software, or just one?
  • Is a local video streaming app actually useful for a rare watcher of movies etc, or can they be streamed directly from the file server? its something that I see a lot of people talk about, but don't really understand why...
  • Is Docker the way to go for everything? or just install on the machine directly?
  • ~Piracy~ VM - Enabling the virtualisation stuff for Docker mostly breaks virtualbox (at least on windows) any recommendations for how to nicely run a VM alongside docker (if that's the recommendation)?
  • Should/Could I be hosting anything else? Foundry will probably be on there. I don't feel like I have a use for smart home stuff, so home assistant wouldn't be much use etc.
