The easiest way to get a different IP is to hotspot your phone (or just use your phone on mobile data).

You'll be behind a moving CGNAT address with a thousand other people.

I just have BIND DNS, but I do capture all DNS traffic and re-route it through my own server. There's an adblock list on it.

I even set up DoT so my phone uses it for DNS when I'm out of the house.

While not publishing it, my weather station uploads my indoor temperatures to weather underground. The plaintext password is in every packet. It uses unencrypted HTTP.

My TV continues to chatter to random servers on the internet long after it has turned off. It transmits to a telemetry server on every single button press.

My air conditioners drain a lot more power when I haven't cleaned the filters. It's almost double.

A chromecast will try to bypass your router's DNS and go straight to Google's. It is constantly pulling data even if you're not using it. I'm fairly certain it's that slideshow. It's not cached at all.

No, you're just paying a premium.

I got a new Android TV for offline use. Most people say you get an OK experience if you don't connect the TV into a network.

The biggest remaining annoyance is that it takes 45 seconds to cold-start. Almost as if it's booting an OS desgined for a phone or something.

Nope. But if the search results didn't find a single social media pic, it vibes like a scam. It's probably just hooked into Google image search or something.

I uploaded a celebrity photo and it only returned a few TV screengrabs and promo shots. Not even a fan selfie.

The figure obviously started as 500kg, and then the Americans got to it.

We need more people to code like this.

Everyone codes like it will be the only process running on their dev machine. Before you know it, you've opened a word processor, a mail client and a chat program. 8GB RAM is gone and the 3.2GHz 8-core CPU is idling at 35%.

That's funny. I usually have Berocca (a drink with a LOT of vitamin B) to treat a hangover.

I think about it the same way I think about + and -. I don't think at all. I just know.

Maybe it's because I'm a programmer and I encounter comparators more than addition and subtraction.

This is indeed the sit.

Am I doing it right?

I wonder if it will be available in both PAL and NTSC.

I remember that. Black Saturday was fucked. I had a 4 month old kid, and I climbed into the roof of my house to run the wiring for a ceiling fan for his bedroom. I was pretty cooked in the 3 minutes it took to pull the cable.

As soon as it was wired, my Mum had to run home to defend it from bushfire. The firefront stopped at the road at end of her driveway.

Meanwhile, one of my Dad's friends - a sergeant at Marysville - vanished into the smoke and emerged a few days later. The whole time, nobody knew where he was.

It was almost a solid week of days over 40°C. On the last day, there was a constant 50km/h wind coming directly from the desert inland. Going outside felt like standing behind a jet engine.

This is the best way. My locker at work has my offsite backup on an encrypted+compressed portable drive. I have two drives that alternate offsite so they are never all in the one spot.

I use sound juicer. I used it this month.

I did use AudioGrabber at the turn of the century though.

You'd think a kid would have noted a rego by now. How hard is it to ping a white van hanging around schools?

Yeah. I've got friends that I've met through LAN groups. There's even heaps of people who hang around in the same discord channels as my friends. Every now and then, we'll find ourselves at the same BBQ and I'll happily add them after that.

My raid has an nvme bcache on it, so it's still fairly quick.

$100USD is just what it costs in Australia, because we get screwed for price over here.
