Guacamole in an LXC container and a virtual desktop in another.

Requires no client side software, supports totp, lets me do remote admin on weird stuff like printers and home routers.

VPN and public trackers gets you more shows and films than any human could ever consume. I’m not sure why any other method exists.

Yet so many execs and devs think they are super intelligent.

Most people are dumb. They wont research anything, particularly when it agrees with what they already think (AI hype headlines). As long as the news keeps saying LLMs are the future of code and hacking, and, and, and, most people will just agree.

Totp with a backup of the secrets/seed qr stored in a kdbx. If my phone melts it’s a 24hr problem at most.

I keep thinking I’m young but I’ve been working full time for >20 years now. My beer consumption hasn’t faltered at all because I was buying Canadian before. The actually young guys I work with (under 30) are once or twice a week drinkers and 3-5 times a week smokers. There is a shift away from trunking but I don’t think it’s driven by trade, it’s more that they see my beer gut lead me into the room and decide they want something different.

Fuckem. A bunch of boomers and genx that are spending a lifetime of Canadian income in the most backwards US state.

Stop spending Canadian money in the US you selfish fucks

The the account is still as vulnerable as a password.

It seemed like the easiest way to store multiple years of data in a format that wouldn’t change or disappear.

I found it super easy to work with as a never-went-to-school programmer (in the rime before claude).

Maintenance at a blast furnace. I am exposed to acidic vapours, caustic vapours, ambient heat in the 60c range, radiant heat in the 1000c range, rock from the nanometer up to 30cm size, phenolic resins, oil mists, and metal powders. And then there’s the crawling around over, under, and between equipment.

Not every tech-savvy person works in an office.

ok.

How do you add a new device to your account without a password or the old device?

I like the idea of a Yubikey but there is no way it would survive more than a month on me due to the conditions where I work. And getting a physical key then not having it on my body at all times is a non-starter.

I keep my keepass .kdbx in on a webdav server and that covers any device I can think of.

How do you transfer your passkey to a new device?

Year of the BSD desktop!

Nah, lock-in is not a safety feature. 16+ random chars are plenty, and if cracking gets better I’ll go to 20 or 30 chars. My pw manager doesn’t care what strings go in it or which device opens it up.

Used to be 200watts bang on but the latest round of updates bumped it up to 210Watts. Everything is on a UPS and I pull measurements from that into an RRD DB (because I like to make my own stuff). It’s kinda cool to see how heavy disk use or CPU intense tasks will increase power draw by up to 50W, or some times or when the power drops off sharply I know my NVR container is not working because 6 ffmpeg tasks all stopped at the same time.

You guys think you’re going to retire? Between inflation and healthcare I don’t expect to last much longer than I can stay employed.

Maybe? The problem I have with that is they are not a radio station or TV station. or even an analog to one like a streaming service that provides access to local news/weather. They do not chose a bunch of programs to host and they generate a VERY small amount number of their own videos, they are a user generated content hosting site.

A comprehensive regulation of the conduct of a user generated content hosting services would have to be written by competent, intelligent, and technologically knowledgeable lawmakers. Otherwise it is guaranteed to make things worse for the end user (see age verification laws).

As a thought experiment, do you think that the ad revenue from watching ONLY videos on that guy’s channel were enough to cover the operating costs and infrastructure required to store and host all of that channel’s videos? If so then it should be possible, if extremely painful, to operate a vlogging business outside of YouTube.

Getting users TO your personal vlog site is a whole other problem but through Patreon (as an example) it is possible to funnel users out of the Alphabet/Meta/ByteDance networks. If any of my favorite channels were to announce they were transitioning to a new video sharing network I would gladly follow them off of YouTube.

Metaphorically “took” Google. There was an existing Don’t Be Evil business and it was taken and reshaped into a Be Very Evil business.

Which is why a user who relies on YouTube so much should be taking the most conservative interpretation of the rules possible. There are several pages (reachable from the upload wizard) that talk about what may or may not constitute age-restricted content. Implied sexuality is on that list and if the video he uploaded contained even a censored version a sex scene in Hellraiser then that should have been a red flag for him.

I upload rarely enough that the upload wizard looks different pretty much every time I use it but the not-for-kids and age-restriction options are pretty prominent and both have links to gotcha pages that list how they should be used.
