If we’ve only reached it yes, but the best news would be that we just passed it

I think the worst would be that they were one or two steps ahead, suggesting that the Great Filter is ahead of us.

I was more thinking of being able to “mark” part of the 24/7 recording as a drive to work so it could be found and aggregated later.

You know, it’s free to self host, so I’ll just experiment and see how it works :)

Looks great!

Small question, is it possible to log a specific journey? For example in Denmark you are required to keep a precise log of your driving if you want to get a tax rebate, so if you could log a specific journey and save it for later for tax documentation, that would be great.

I speak gibberish.

It is a framework that allows different AI programs to coordinate their tasks, provide sources for their conclusions, and verify each other’s work without relying on a single central server. It should help avoid drift when solving complex problems.

I loved it when I first encountered it. It was simple, elegant, and easy to use. Over time though, things got bad. I relied on an extension to show the taskbar on all monitors as well as the “Other locations” tab in the file manager to see disk usage plus some other things but these two broke the camel’s back. Every upgrade the extension stopped working for a few months, but at least I could delay upgrading for a bit. That was until the extension maintainer went AWOL, so no update was made for at least a year.

The “other locations” tab showed disk usage just a click away from my usual workflows. As someone who has a habit of making high utilisation of my disks, keeping an eye on disk usage was required. That was until Gnome decided we were too good for such an easy location so now the only place to see disk usage is in the disk usage analyzer that 1) is rarely used 2) takes a while to start up while it’s scanning the entire disk. My habit of checking disk usage thus died. Until I had to upgrade to the new distro version. And it turned out I didn’t have enough storage left to carry out the installation so my laptop bricked itself halfway. I was lucky that I could boot with a rescue image to clear some space and continue the upgrade but the first thing I did when it was finished was to install Plasma and kill Gnome.

I kinda liked posting some random funny snippets of TV shows and movies on the forbidden Lemmy. Maybe I should take that up again now that Cliparr can cut down most of the time it’ll take.

Only problem is that I still need the communities that would benefit from such submissions. On Reddit this was mostly on a fan sub for the given TV show, but Lemmy isn’t big enough for that (at least I think so).

About $3/mo. But for a lifetime deal you’re also buying the risk. If they go bankrupt, stop honoring the lifetime deal, or any variation thereof tomorrow, you’re out $750 - lifetime deals, where they exist are often heavily discounted compared to normal rates due to this. 20 years is though quite a long time. Plex is only 16 years old.

In a perfect world a company would limit the amount of lifetime deals available and only have them in the beginning to get some quick cash allowing them to scale. I don’t think Plex is running a very good business, which also devalues the lifetime deal.

who prefer a subscription for a tracker

You’re in the wrong tracker if that is the case. No trustworthy tracker has a subscription.

EDIT: wait why does it say 2 users though

Sorry about that, won’t happen again

Excuse me, what!? So you pay expensive fares and stand in line for hours to experience the same thing you can at home with an office chair with a leg missing in front of a TV???

That just defeats the IP part of the KVM and in that case you’d better stick with a traditional KVM.

Your setup depends entirely on your threat model. In my case in a normal state everything on the network is locked. The KVM is never used for normal ops, only rebooting and entering a disk encryption key in case I’m remote and have a failure. The KVM can only be accessed through a VPN. That limits my threat exposure to be well below my threat model. If I was Edward Snowden this might not be enough, but last I checked I’m not hunted by any state actor, rogue or not, so making sure the KVM is not accessible from the internet is enough.

And that’s why I fear what comes next now that the infrastructure has been set for sharing sensitive data like DoB. Brazil’s law already stated that self-reporting age is not sufficient.

No, it is the OS verifying what you know. The OS doesn’t care if you gave your password to anyone, just that whoever is opening the PC knows the password.

Verifying who you are would be biometric verification or ID verification.

In my case I require a password and a hardware key on login. That is still not verifying that I am myself, only that I know the password, and have the hardware key. If I added fingerprint scanning then I would have the holy trifecta and only then verify who I am.

That’s not sufficient. If you can access the device, then you can access the remotely managed server. Since it’s remotely managed it must be an important server and the KVM can bypass traditional security measures since the KVM gives the same level of access as physical access. If you get through to the server, then isolating the KVM doesn’t matter.

What I do is I treat physical access as inherently insecure as if anyone could drop by. Encryption keys still need to be presented and the only screen shown when there’s no activity is a login screen. The KVM is treated like any other random access to the server, physical or SSH: You must identify yourself.

Here you go:

That’s simply not true. The Decathlon HRM Band for example connects to virtually everything that can understand a generic HRM over BLE. And limited in what sense? It’s either sending a heart rate or not.

OpenTracks has integrations with several HR BLE trackers: https://codeberg.org/OpenTracksApp/OpenTracks/src/branch/main/README_TESTED_SENSORS.md

OpenTracks?

Yes. If US law mandates that I have to run around naked and screaming when in a supermarket I simply won’t do it because it says so. Mostly because US laws have absolute no effect in Denmark. Except those bastards in our government who decided US soldiers on Danish soil would be above Danish law, but that’s another discussion…

But if I were in the US, well, it’s my device and its open source, so who’s stopping me? And if my US-backed Fedora distro is getting affected, who is stopping me from going SUSE, Mint, Manjaro, or some other European distro?
