Mic drop

Dang, that thing is the bees knees!

Would make more sense to replace just the batteries rather than the whole unit IMO. Looks like it takes standard 12v 7Ah sealed lead acid batteries, so should be doable for under $120 (if you buy them individually and use the existing battery harness)

I have three other UPSes, but none of them are as good as yours lol:

• APC SUA1500RM2U - was a great online rackmount unit, stopped using this a few years back because of its tendency to overcharge batteries without a charge controller ADC calibration mod. It wrecked my last battery pack bad 😭 plan to convert it to LiFePo4 and put it back into service 🤞
• Zigor Ebro - cheap and cheerful line-interactive UPS for the modem, network switch and CCTV cameras. Switchover time is pretty much instantaneous, worth every cent paid and has kept my network up through many outages
• Cyberpower UT650 - A temporary offline UPS to hold the server gear specifically until I get the APC back in service. Honestly not worth the cheap price, the switchover delay is long enough to shut off anything that’s not a server PSU with massive bulk capacitors

Edit: fix bullet list formatting

Adobe is the one company i’d never, ever, ever want to support, especially with a subscription. 🏴‍☠️ all day every day

Flash drive hidden under the carpet and connected via a USB extension, holding the decryption keys - threat model is a robber making off with the hard drives and gear, where the data just needs to be useless or inaccessible to others.

There’s a script in the initramfs which looks for the flash drive, and passes the decryption key on it to cryptsetup, which then kicks off the rest of the boot mounting the filesystems underneath the luks

I could technically remove the flash drive after boot as the system is on a UPS, but I like the ability to reboot remotely without too much hassle.

What I’d like to do in future would be to implement something more robust with a hardware device requiring 2FA. I’m not familiar with low level hardware security at all though, so the current setup will do fine for the time being!

I’m in the same boat as @shnizmuffin@lemmy.inbutts.lol, lab has been nice and stable and have nothing to contribute as of yet.

At the beginning of the migration I was popping in and out of r/homelab, but as it stands now I haven’t visited there in ages!

What’s your problem with tagginator? Just block it if you don’t want to see it?

Because it’s from china doesn’t mean anything though lol. So are our phones, clothes, bikes, car electronics, batteries, practically all electronics except hard drives etc.

Don’t forget that there are talented individuals everywhere, regardless of whatever perceptions exist about their country of origin.

In this case, OP wants access to what they consider to be a good show, and that’s that 🤷‍♂️🏴‍☠️

Edit: sorry, I may have misunderstood your post - free email != email masking.

My original post below…

Curious why you consider email address masking services as for those with “drastic anonymity” requirements?

I personally don’t think so: they are pretty much just a digital P.O. box, and are typically not anonymous in any way (subpoena/court order to the provider). They are built-in to Firefox too, it will automatically create new ones OOTB as you sign up on websites, if you click the autofill.

They are however IMO one effective tool out of many to restrict the ability of data brokers and hacking groups (aggregated breach datasets) alike from making money from your online presence without your consent.

In almost all cases this data is freely searchable for law enforcement and private investigators, allowing them to avoid going through the legal system to investigate and possibly detain you for things you’re not guilty of

If they’re easy to get, why not have them 😉

This is how I do it 👌 no need to install another when the pi already comes with one OOTB.

If OP is looking for VNC clients for zorin OS, there’s an app called “Connections” in the store which works great

Ooh interesting, never knew they started a rewrite!

The reports of poor performance with the PHP version was one of the things that pushed me towards using Syncthing instead when I was looking for a solution to view my documents and files from various devices

Sending files from my phone to my laptop - just copy them to a special folder and boom, sent 😁

Before finding out about Backblaze I still did file backups to disc lol. Now the only time I touch a disc is when it’s being ripped 😂

Just don’t buy them off Amazon, Walmart, Newegg etc… buy straight from the manufacturer. There’s a lot of counterfeits about

Nice.

Given all the great things I’ve heard about the new oled model, particularly repairability wise, I might pick one up for myself. As well as playing my library OTG, it’ll work beautifully as a remote for my FPV project!

the entire conservative ideology undermines ideas like right-to-repair

Louis’s videos are posted to multiple platforms out of principle, not politics… that means they also get posted on sites with creators that have been kicked out of YouTube, like the one linked here

It was all getting spoiled for me in social media anyway.

I thankfully haven’t seen any spoilers for anything since moving to Lemmy… on other sites it’s silly easy to accidentally run into a spoilers for anything remotely popular 😭

Unless you follow ST communities here… then oops I guess spoilers are in your feed for each episode 😳

That is why I pay for open subtitles

Lost me right here. Personally I’m not ever going to pay for a service where the work done by volunteer users, for free, is filling some random person’s pockets. An argument can’t even be made a la RedHat here - there’s literally no value being added to the volunteers’ work by OpenSubtitles…

OpenSubtitles literally has pulled a shXtter here IMO
