Star Trek memes and shitposts

What could that possibly mean??

Somewhat related, I’m so annoyed that my USB 3.0 SATA adapter doesn’t pass S.M.A.R.T. data. Didn’t even think to check for such a deficiency. Just another thing to watch out for when buying these adapters.

Look up the instructions for your mail provider to set up SPF, DKIM, and DMARC records in your DNS so email services know which emails sent from your domain are actually legit. Without those records telling email servers what’s valid and how to handle what’s not, it’s basically the Spiderman pointing at Spiderman meme.

Dear M. Eminem

I mostly just want to log connections and IPs to have a record of things.

I just use Firefox Sync. Works on all those platforms.

“What’s a checkbox? Oh, you mean that thing we use to trick users into ‘consenting’ to telemetry?”

Yea, I didn’t like that they are going to drop support in the next version or whatever. Not sure if it’s their intended replacement, but Wireguard is installed by default in TrueNAS Bluefin. I recently switched to that, and I find the performance is way better than OpenVPN.

What are you using to monitor wireguard?

In my best Janeway voice: “DEW IT.”

You’d set your firewall rules to only accept requests from the cloudflare datacenter IPs for those port forwards. So, the ports would be otherwise blocked to anyone else trying to access them directly.

Maybe they already replaced their Writers, Authors, and Proofreaders, and generated the whole thing using ChatGPT.

I’m not racist, one of my friends is Black Orion!

I have one of these mini PCs arriving soon. A little more money than I wanted to spend and no idea if this brand is any good. But it checks a lot of boxes for a backup server project I’m working on - eMMC for boot, microsd slot, M.2 2280 NVME socket, and a 2.5" SATA connection. They have some other variants as well that don’t cost as much.

I originally got a used Dell Optiplex Micro from eBay for this. They come with a 2.5" SATA connection. But I learned the hard way that not all models come with M.2.

Well crap. I was waiting until the end of the day to buy it. That’s too bad…

Edit: I guess that information was in the image, but would have been nice if it was in the post text too…

If any other device on your network, such as your phone, exclusively uses pihole for DNS, they won’t be able to resolve web addresses when your computer is off - effectively cutting off internet access. Pihole should really be running 24/7 to avoid complications.

It doesn’t seem like you actually need the https:// to parse the instance name, since the text xxxxxxxxlemmy.worldx still searches successfully. Maybe just exclude those parts off the URL and simply use lemmy.world, lemmy.ml, etc in the autocomplete list.

By the way, neat project! It looks like it’s filling a pretty big need that people having been asking for. Keep up the good work!

The home instance selector works as expected if you use the autocomplete, but it gets weird if you manually type the instance address and don’t include the https://, and the / at the end.

It looks like the code is expecting those pieces to be there and truncating the first 8 and last 1 characters. So, if I only type “lemmy.world”, the home_instance URL parameter gets set to just “rl”, and no results are returned. I’m sure there are some premade functions out there that can extract the hostname from a URL to better handle this.

For a second, I seriously thought the fediverse logo next your username was an award 😂
