What do you *need* your smartphone for? A semi-survey
  • This a really great question. I honestly can't think of a single thing that I could not do if I didn't have a smartphone. This is interesting because this is how it used to be, and it seems like that changed, but maybe it didn't. I might do an experiment for a week where I don't use my smartphone and see how it goes.

    I miss the short period of time between when WiFi came out and before smart phones. You had to pull out your laptop and find free public WiFi in order to go online to make plans and search (or use an Internet cafe), and then you would have to leave the WiFi to actually go do things. This made it so we had IRL, and we could still share memories and socialize online, but those were separate. This was the last era where we had a proper separation between "going online" and being offline. After that, we are always online, mindlessly pulling out our phones to "socialize" or doom scroll.

  • [Question] For running Samba on a Debian host, what's the better solution? Native, LXC container, or VM?
  • Both, actually, and those things are directly related. If I need to migrate a single thing to another machine it's just rsync and make run. Of course this requires the bare metal to have docker and make, so some bare metal configuration management is also needed.

  • The day before Biden announced his withdrawal from the race, I was on a bike ride and saw a yard sign that said:

    GET BIDEN OUT MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN

    That person must be so happy now! I wonder what he did today.

  • [Question] For running Samba on a Debian host, what's the better solution? Native, LXC container, or VM?
  • Personally I run almost everything in docker, with the launch configs stored in git, backed by zfs. This means that if the host dies I can import that zpool, docker compose up -d and be done with it.

    I suppose the same could be done with VMs or LXC. The main thing is to keep it all separate from the bare metal OS, and in a technology that allows quick provisioning from a launch config of some sort, be it makefile, shell script, docker-compose, or whatever.

  • [Question] Protecting outdoor LAN port from infiltration?
  • https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/IEEE_802.1X

    The standard directly addresses an attack technique called Hardware Addition where an attacker posing as a guest, customer or staff smuggles a hacking device into the building that they then plug into the network giving them full access.

  • "14 Hypoallergenic Cat Breeds for People With Allergies"

    https://www.thesprucepets.com/hypoallergenic-cat-breeds-553872

    Cat allergies are caused by a protein called Fel d 1.1 When cats groom themselves, Fel d 1 gets on their fur and dander, exposing you to it. While no cat is truly free of allergens, breeds referred to as hypoallergenic have lower levels of the Fel d 1 protein, making them a potentially better option for people with allergies.

    Guidance from experienced pilots

    One types of content I'd really like to see here is guidance from experienced pilots on how to get started. There is a lot of conflicting information and deferral to non-cited authorities online, and even those authorities sometimes have ambiguous and conflicting information. I'd love to see posts like "I am a part 107 certified pilot in X jurisdiction and here are my top 10 do's and don'ts, and my preflight checklist."

    One particularly confusing aspect I've encountered is all the differences on drones 250g and above. It seems to me like so much FAA guidance is written with complete disregard for drones below 250g, so much so that I'm not sure if I have to be licensed, if I have to register my drone, if I need to label it, if I'm allowed to fly in various circumstance and times, all because they appear to write a lot of their documentation as if all drones weigh more than 250g. As a result of this ambiguity and confusion I'm considering getting part 107 certified just to cover my bases, but even then, I wouldn't feel confident that I understood the laws and regulations.
