Is privacy possible with smart TV?
  • Honestly, a PC monitor and a separate device connected to it is probably much less bullshit.

    Pihole is nice to have regardless of TVs.

    Commercial displays are usually very overpriced, although if you can get a good deal that could be nice.

    Not sure I'd "trust" any such menu.

  • can i hide entire instance from /all feed
  • Currently: Not for a user.
    The only way to block at instance level is defederation which is usually a bit extreme.

    This shouldn't be too complicated to handle at the user level, but someone would have to spend time to develop it and contribute to lemmy source code.

    Likewise, there are specific instances for which I'd want to auto-sub to all current and future communities, which is also not a fair that exists (other than creating your account there and browsing "Local")

    IMHO, Blocking at the user level is a feature that's relatively likely to happen eventually.

  • How do you keep hair from constantly getting in your mouth?
  • Having grown my hair down to my belly button over the last years...
    The "hair dips into your toast" phase is annoying af.

    Hair ties, hair clips, bobby pins, hats, etc.
    A nice hat when you're going outside on a windy day helps a lot imho.
    Honestly, there's a period when your hair is long enough to be annoying but not long enough to tie back and it's, well, annoying.
    Good news is when it reaches just about your chin, you'll be able to tie it back when it annoys you and it's much less fuss from that point on.
    Once it's even longer than that it will end on your chest and it's not in the way as much.

    Pre-emptively cut the forked ends now and then.
    It seems counter productive to progress, but that's still faster than breaking knots of tangled hair.

    Patience.

    Edit: Oh and if you get yourself some hair ties, get those without the metal bit otherwise they break so much hair.

  • What are your favorite hobbies or time killers?
  • Hiking, painting, 3d printing, board games, gardening.
    Collecting and restoring knives.

    Whatever you feel like doing...
    But find something that's different enough than your future job.
    I mean... I troubleshoot network stuff for a living and coming home and doing puzzles would absolutely suck, as it's the same kind of stimuli (finding patterns).
    Every job is different, and I burn out of different hobbies depending on what job I'm doing.

  • How do you deal with malicious requests to your servers?
  • Yes it's running in my reverse proxy.
    Nginx is doing my "client ssl verify" in front of my web services.
    You can even do this on a per uri/location.
    For example, my nextcloud is open without client certs so I can share files with people, but the admin settings path is protected by client ssl.

  • How do you deal with malicious requests to your servers?
  • Some apps now have support for client certs (home-assistant ❤).
    Nextcloud is one of the only apps that's open without client ssl because it'd be highly inconvenient to share a file link with someone if I had to install a cert on their devices. Plex app never works right for me so I just use the browser. My TV is too old to have old built-in so I have a VM in which I use a browser to watch plex.

  • Remember the hype around Fallout 4?
  • For all the quirks, the engine does a really good job at environmental story stuff.
    Killed a raider last week that got stuck bent over on a fence?
    Yup, still there.
    Send a dude on a supply run to another settlement? Hell yea, they're actually walking all the way there.
    I'd give people with specific jobs a uniform, kind of.
    Meanwhile, most games despawn dead enemies while you're still actively looking at them.

    It's not the best Fallout but it's a good sandbox.
