  • I don’t know this specific brand but because of this quote in the article I assumed it’d not be automatically registered:

    “If you do choose to register a Peak Design product, and it is lost or stolen, you can reach out to our customer service team and have your registration erased, so the bag is not traceable back to you.”

    Why do they say “if you do choose to register” if you don’t have a choice?

  • I don't think that 'tracing' here means something like 'there's a GPS tracker in every backpack'.

    You could see this type of backpack in a CCTV shot. Later the police recovered a backpack - that they thought was the one on CCTV - and now need to find the owner. If it was registered at the company by the owner, they may have been able to say "oh yes, that serial number is registered to a customer. Here's their name and address they told us when registering at $date". If the customer never registered their bag, the only piece of information they could give out would (maybe) be something like "This bag was sent to an Amazon warehouse at $date, ask them if they know who bought these bags around $date"

  • Yeah, I’m also using a local resolver. But since I had some problems using another DHCP server (which was probably a problem on my end), so I’m current setting some devices in my FRITZ!box to a fixed IP and then enter that in my DNS server. If I could just skip the second part and tell the FRITZ!Box to just resolve printserver.example.com instead of printserver.fritz.box - that’d be nice. Maybe I should do another try with a DHCP server soon.

  • I really like them but they do have two downsides for "more advanced" users (or at least for me) - it is a home device as after all.

    1. No support for VLAN or VLAN tagging - you can set up you WiFi and a guest WiFi. You can also map the guest network to an Ethernet port. But that's about it.
    2. There is no way to change the DNS suffix (*. fritz.box) to another value - I do own a domain that I use for the local services on my home server, etc. which then allows for Let's Encrypt certificates, but I cannot use it "out of the box".

    If you're an advanced user, there's plenty of ways around that, though. I just wished that these two thing were to exist in the firmware to have less work with my home infrastructure.

  • Same, I needed to expand my Wi-Fi and was to lazy to run an Ethernet and a power cable across the attic. I settled for two TP-Link EAP and a TP-Link managed switch that also provides PoE. You can run all three devices stand alone, but Omada is also quite nice - you can run it without using their cloud on your home server and even connect their app to your local controller.

  • Your top song was $songThatIReallyListenedToAFewTimes. You had a streak of two days listening to it and your play count was 4.

    Ok, the genre is right. The band is a band I know and sometimes listen to, but I dislike their newer songs (which the above is an example of). The start might be right, but it's definitely not my top listened song 2024

  • A friend of mine just messaged me, that we cannot play a few selected games anymore, as his notebook was acting up. Upon further investigation I found out, that he is still running Windows 8.1 and cannot use Steam anymore, since Steam support on Windows 8.1 ended about a year ago and a Chrome update "finally" broke Steam on windows 8.1 a few weeks ago.

  • That took me way to long, too. I'm not from an English speaking country and don't really know the song, so I didn't pay attention to the notes and just tried to find the pun in the text, didn't find one and gave up. I only noticed it, when this post scrolled by me for the second time.

    I should have never given up, as that only let me down...
