A ’90% chance of theft’ causes insurer to cancel plans for one type of e-bike
  • Living in the Netherlands I genuinely don't hate this. Fat bikes are kind of annoying here. The people riding them often go with ludicrous speeds as they have been altered, but without a plate like a speed pedelec should. They're quite dangerous.

    They're also parked quite unhinged as they don't really fit into regular spots. Hopefully people get normal electric bikes now.

  • Question: Where is federated content stored?
  • That isn't what normalized means in the context of databases.

    Also databases store the same data many times over often. For redundancy and load-balancing purposes. Really, federation just takes care of replication somewhat.

  • Media server
  • I have a ThinkCentre m90q with an i3. It's a few years old. It's a lot more powerful than a Pi. A Pi will not cut it.

    You will preferably need something with modern hardware encoding. Support for h265 and AV1 is a requirement nowadays to play high quality sources and find anything for newer stuff. Moreso if you want to watch 4k content.

  • ‘You’re Telling Me in 2023, You Still Have a ’Droid?’ Why Teens Hate Android Phones
  • Apple is willfully hampering the ability to intercommunicate between iPhones and Androids

    In what way exactly? All the messaging apps I use work fine. I even have the same Signal account logged in through both my Android phone and my iPad.

    Nobody I know actually uses iMessage either. It's a complete non-issue as SMS is quite an outdated technology.

  • What does the 6 mean?
  • My device always shows the WiFi number. It's nice to know since I live in an apartment building with shared wifi. The shared wifi is 4/5 and mine is 6 so I can see at a glance if I'm connected right.

    I can't imagine another reason it'd be useful though.

  • Reverse Proxy vs VPN: How do you access your home-server?
  • Caddy Reverse Proxy with Basic Auth for services which are critical like my 3d printer. Without auth for other services like my website or jellyfin and such. I use docker for everything so that's another layer of safety for me.

    I have port 443 open and use subdomains for most stuff. Some other ports for non-HTTP services but I don't have any right now.

  • FML
  • that service will keep working until the next billing day

    You wish. I have had one too many services that cancel immediately upon request, even if you paid for the month 3 days ago.

  • Another good reason not to open port 22
  • Yeah that's what I have too. One of my servers is exposed with key auth and I just tunnel to other servers from there. A few MB egress is nothing compared with the amount of spam my webserver needs to deal with

  • This still baffles me, but I guess it's good for federation?
  • Facilitating Piracy no matter how you put it is wrong and illegal, it is wrong and illegal to support people who do it.

    I love how some people assume that everyone agrees on the ethics of piracy

  • This is the last stand.
  • I've started moving over some of my services from Google to Proton now. Using my own domain so a switch in the future is as simple to do as changing the DNS. It's something I can recommend everyone.

    Too bad I can't get my work to switch from Google.

  • Anon uses arch btw
  • That's why I use Fedora lmao

    I was once a minimal arch user and it's awful because nothing ever just works. You've got to build everything yourself and it's a ton of work, and often breaks. Modern, user friendly distros like Fedora work great. Never have to fix anything
