HomeAssistant, all IoT devices are on a VLAN that can only talk to HomeAssistant…HomeAssistant server only accessible via LAN or through WireGuard to my VPS (which WireGuard’s to my router, which connects to my HA server).

Not perfect, not invulnerable, but it also only controls lights and harmless switches.

We still use leaded gas for aviation, as does (I believe) the EU (I’m guessing RoW, too).

(Supposed to be banned this year in the EU but AFAICT pushed back until 2032.)

Fail2ban config can get fairly involved in my experience. I’m probably not doing it the right way, as I wrote a bunch of web server ban rules — anyone trying to access wpadmin gets banned, for instance (I don’t use WordPress, and if I did, it wouldn’t be accessible from my public facing reverse proxy).

I just skimmed my nginx logs and looked for anything funky and put that in a ban rule, basically.

Not sure if trolling or not, but googling around and it sounds like Sensory Processing Disorders can cause this level of passionate hatred towards bananas…

I switched from raspberry pi and orange pi to a cheap Intel NUC, and I think it’s just a much nicer experience.

The pi is great fun, but the HW transcoding on a NUC “just works,” and the SSD and 16GB RAM opens a lot of doors. My N100 NUC was less than $150, and it included everything (case, power supply, 500GB SSD).

My pi found new life as an off-site backup: attach a big HDD, set up WireGuard, and have a cronjob do daily rsync and snapshots. I have it set up at in-laws, and it works great.

It’s on https://www.thefarside.com/ today as one of the “Selections of classic The Far Side comics.” Comic says ©1984, but doesn’t give a specific date (an image on reddit suggests 4/6/84).

I think it depends on who’s doing the talking — oil execs aren’t idiots, so I think in their case, it’s the first two (intentional misrepresentation, bad faith).

Someone repeating what their uncle/Newsmax host/etc. said? Yeah, maybe that’s the latter…

I could be wrong, but I think this could be due to how the states’ suit is worded? As in, I think it’s worded as, “you can’t do that in our state,” and not, “you can’t do that full stop.”

From another site:

Attorneys general from 18 other states also sued over the order in federal court in Massachusetts.

Brown [AG filing the suit] noted his lawsuit is similar, but said he felt Washington should lead a separate case because of “specific and unique harms that are brought here.” He also said that “we have a very good set of judges in our bench here in Washington, so I feel like this is the right place.”

(My emphasis.)

So, a good first step, and while this should be struck down in its entirety, my reading is that this was a lawsuit with limited scope, and the injunction matches the limited scope.

No judgement here, you just keep doing what makes you happy.

Wouldn’t 25 year olds still be in school for their doctorates though?

Yes, I think that’s the point — they skew the numbers upwards.

So what is an easy to use or no think thing I could use a pi 5 for?

It sounds like you really want something that works “out of the box,” in which case, I would look for projects that have disk images available.

This severely restricts what you can do with it, and as others have mentioned, is a bit antithetical to the Pi’s original purpose as a tinkering machine. But you may find something you like.

The most basic would be to just use it as a desktop replacement.

Does Minecraft server have a known memory leak or something?

As a hack you can always set up a cronjob to automatically reboot at a time when you won’t be using it, but not sure if that defeats the purpose of a Minecraft server…

Many time zones: You get to a new place and look up what time zone you’re in.

Well, sorta — but it’s no effort at all because my timekeeping device (phone) does this automatically.

For me, the time of day is internalized in a way that I think is hard to switch. Same as how I was raised with imperial units — even though I prefer (and use professionally) metric, the intuition can be a little harder to get. But to each their own of course :)

I prefer the current way — I can be in another state or another country and I know that 7am is a good time for breakfast, around noon is a good time for lunch, and so forth. (If you don’t change latitude sure, just go outside to figure this out, but it’s complicated if it’s overcast, or the latitude isn’t what you’re used to, or…)

Time has a number of meanings — UTC is great for machines, local time is (IMHO) a good concept for humans.

It could grip it by the husk.

Well yes, but so is Canada, which has a higher HDI than the US.

Parent was asking why Mexico is excluded from the list while Canada is not.

By “don’t have incentive” I’m just referring to an on-paper incentive from an HDI ranking.

Canada has roughly the same HDI ranking as the US, whereas Mexico is somewhat lower. So from the “looking for a better life” perspective, Canadians don’t have an incentive to move to the US (other way around actually, from HDI).

Just a guess though.

It’s mostly so that I can have SSL handled by nginx (and not per-service), and also for ease of hosting multiple services accessible via subdomains. So every service is its own subdomain.

Additionally, my internal network (as in, my physical LAN) does not have any port forwarding enabled — everything is over WireGuard to my VPS.

My method:

VPS with reverse proxy to my public facing services. This holds SSL certs, and communicates with home network through WireGuard link configured on my router.

Local computer with reverse proxy for all services. This also has SSL certs, and handles the same services as the VPS, so I can have local/LAN speeds. Additionally, it serves as a reverse proxy for all my private services, such as my router/switches/access point config pages, Jellyfin, etc.

No complaints, it mostly just works. I also have my router override DNS entries for my FQDN to resolve locally, so I use the same URL for accessing public services on my LAN.
