AFAIK you can't send wol packets between subnets, or over wireguard, without either reconfiguring your router firewall or setting up an proxy service on Lan what you can poke to actually send the wol request.

It's more batteries included and the packaging ecosystem story is better than alternatives. Certain safety guarantees are a nice to have. If you just want a better c/c++ afaik that's zig, but I have no experience with it

An ISP is closer to the post office than a pastebin site. A pastebin site is closer to a factory that produces and ships content to all that order it, and thus responsible for what they ship. It's unfortunate that things are the way th

They offer packages but if you're on a point release distro you'll want to build it from source. On my Debian box, I build the podman release target in a chroot, extract the archive in /opt/, and use stow to install&#x2F

I think nginx is great if your enterprise and want to squeeze the most utility out of your boxes. The issue is there's a large disconnect between nginx and Nginx plus, and you quickly end up making cursed configs to do basic things if

If you're US based, there's tons of data broker sites, and you can glue together the information for free as various brokers leak various bits (E.g. Some leak the address, others leak emails, others leak phone numbers). And that&#

I recently revived my parents HP all in one from 2008, sporting a t5850 core duo. It's surprising usable, but I found out that recent versions windows don't support sse4.1 (Microsoft has provided escape hatches to upgrade old hw t

Second hand from other members of the dev team, apparently Nintendo lawyers approached the lead dev at his home with a Cease and Desist. Apparently they reached an agreement, as his fork went private and the Ryujinx organization went privat

But really, this isn't about overruling software, it's about overruling yourself. Past self has implemented a mandate that future self get up at this time. Future self is a sleepy, lazy, point of sale that can't be trusted. S

Indeed. Even if this worked 95% of the time, that 5% where it escalates things just isn't worth it IMO. Also, pissing people off that know where you live isn't a great idea. It's basically WarGames. The only winning move is n

It's been a few years and I can't recall. Probably renting solar panels? That was a popular one for a while. Not that it matters, he could have been offering me free money. What matters is he didn't respect my right to say no

It's actually the opposite. People don't really take no for an answer anymore, and that's doubly true of anyone trying to sell you stuff, so instead of saying "no/ will not", we try to justify why we "cann

I think the idea is as a growth hacking strategy, people lost their way. The space is crowded and now it usually means people are posting positive numbers go up charts. What value is in that? Why is my chart more engaging than other people&

I found keeping it in docker makes it less of a nightmare, but it's definitely not something I'd trust with anything important. There's like dozen scenarios where you end up with 0 byte files with no warning, error, etc. Some

I was thinking more along the lines of the API auth//access control getting messed up. But a third party service linked to the accounts is more likely. Unfortunately Twitter doesn't do post mortems of events/outages, so

We're getting into the weeds a bit, but in regards to Disney plus, I expect the terms to apply to Disney plus, for the duration I use Disney plus. And I expect there to be legal boiler plate covering their bases. E.g. For physical harm

It's not so cut and dry, or maybe it is to lawyers, IANAL. I don't think the average person would believe that forced arbitration would be applied to a separate Disney service, and that it's for all time. That using a Disney

> Can't we all agree that a privacy policy or terms link is enough? That's what links are for. Ultimately those are written by lawyers for lawyers. They're extremely long, verbose, and hard for a layman to parse. And that

Radios don't need a touch screen. Old button radios are pretty intuitive. The display/touch aspect is because people want navigation, apps like deezer/itunes/Spotify, etc. Then you have to think about updates/real t
