  • Still using a mix of Debian and Ubuntu.

    I tried openSUSE but didn't like it compared to Ubuntu desktop.

  • (DayZ creator) Dean Hall: Unity is threatening to revoke licenses with flawed data that appears to be scraped from personal data
  • I'm not a game Dev but our platforms I work with have corporate and learning editions. I have my work email registered with our enterprise install and my personal email for the learning. They could potentially cross reference and find me using both.

    In this instance though a smaller game Dev would do a lot of BYOD and I think this comes down to business processes to make sure staff do not register using work emails unless it is directly for work purposes.

    Unity also should be flagging it to them and terminating the personal accounts imho. But that being said how does Unity expect developers to upskill in their tooling in their personal time if they won't let them practice. You can't expect a company to pay for a pro license for someone not employed to work on that stack.

  • 3-2-1 Backups: How do you do the 1 offsite backup?
  • I have two large (8 Bay) Synology NAS. They backup certain data between each other and replicate internally and push to Back blaze. $6/mo.

  • Playtron wanted to take on Windows and SteamOS with their GameOS, now they're announcing a cryptocurrency
  • They can't rugpull them, they probably also want to own the transaction fees.

    I had a problem, my wife wanted to be able to download all the images of our kids from Storypark so that we can add them to our Immich instance. To download them you had to in the app or website click open each image then go through the menu to download. Because we have 2 kids that could be upwards of 60 photos.

    Being someone that works in the automation field, I couldn't have such a clunky process for photos sent to us daily.

    Initially I built a quick an dirty script that opens the current page but then I thought why not expand it to not only get the images but all of the posts that have not been downloaded yet. Then I had the idea of updating the EXIF data so that Immich can put the images on the correct date.

    I run a lot of docker containers so next step was to enable me to run this on my own NAS and have it save the files directly to where Immich is looking and here we are. I realised other parents could use this so I've cleaned up my code and put it up for others to use.

    Hopefully those other parents with RSI will appreciate the script. You can run it locally or in docker.

    Next phase will be to have it find the images with my kids and archive the ones without their faces for review.

    I'm normally a bit more of a hard scifi reader with the likes of Bobiverse and Expanse (and Andy Weir/Thaichovsky/IanMBanks/Herbert etc) but I really enjoyed this humerous take on a rogue cyborg.

    Is there anything out there in this vane I should look into?

    Low resource, Performant WAF

    I'm running a website that is getting a lot of bot traffic and found Cloudflare free rule tier to be a bit limiting. (5 custom rules with length limits)

    Ive got subnets for major VPS providers to block and will run analysis against my traffic to build on these lists.

    What do others do?

    I'm contemplating my Cloudflared tunnel into Crowdsec to my app.

    Edit: Adding in image of my analysis of the IPs scanning for vulnerabilities.
