Ideally, sure use a password generator - but I wouldn't worry about the security of a password generator like the one I linked.
There's no linking of the password you generated to whichever account you are creating.
There's no guarantee from the web operator's perspective that you are actually using the generated passwords for anything at all.
Again, use bitwarden's generator - or equivalent - for passphrases, but in the absence of that correcthorsebatterystaple.com is good enough for a non-shared password.
The brand/type of wifi router is more of a technical requirements discussion than privacy discussion.
For instance, I live in a two story townhome rental with the modem in the basement - so I picked up an Orbi mesh system to bounce wifi up to the second floor. I also have a fairly complex network with IoT VLAN, DMZ (for remote VPN) and other network segments - again the orbi doing different VLANs per SSID was a deciding factor.
I've also only used the Orbi as an access point, relying on a dedicated firewall/router for that stuff.
If you're looking at a flat network (e.g. everything on one segment - the typical home user setup), pretty much any WiFi router from Best Buy or equivalent will do the job. Check your current devices to see if you can take advantage of WiFi 7 technology - otherwise save a few bucks and go WiFi 6.
For security purposes, change the default SSID (the wireless name) to something unique - and change the password to something from correcthorsebatterystaple.net. You don't need the default jumble of letters and numbers to be secure.
Lastly, getting to your privacy concerns, look at the DHCP settings - that's what hands out IP addresses to your devices so they can reach the internet. Change the DNS servers to something other than your ISP. This looks like a good starting point.
The big things are to make sure you don't expose your router management to the Internet (the default shouldn't do that) and to make sure you periodically check for firmware updates.
If you want to up your game, you could look at spinning up a self-hosted DNS server like Pi-Hole - but that can be a bit more advanced to get setup and troubleshoot if something goes wrong.
I'm fairly certain something like that has already happened with Canadian Airlines. A person asked about bereavement travel and the AI chat bot claimed one thing and the company refused to honor it. IIRC, the court said the company had to abide by what the chatbot said.
See, this is 4th dimensional chess. Trump knows that Bidens deal would be bad for Palestine and only Trump can get a better one. So akshually this is a good thing. /s
I'm not seeing any replies that are super helpful for your question - so here's what I do: throw a Linux desktop on a Raspberry Pi, or NUC and use the TV like monitor. Get a wireless keyboard/mouse combo and watch Plex through the appimage or just Firefox. Bonus, now any website that does video can be viewed on your big screen tv without dealing with any casting apps.
Man, the Republicans have done it again! This Biden fellow sounds like bad news, I don't think I'll be voting for him in November. /s
On a more serious note, was shitting on Biden their only strategy to get Trump reelected? 100% of their effort seems to have gone towards smearing Biden, but now that Kamala has entered the race they cannot pivot at all. (Not that I want them to pivot, please by all means, continue to beat a dead horse)
âI can remember this as a young man, when we were arguing about whether or not we should be required to wear seat belts, or if we should wear seat belts,â Robinson continues. âAnd I can always remember thereâd be one person to say, âWell, what if I get stuck on a railroad tracks and my seat belt wonât come off?â Number one, if you are stuck on the train tracks, that is Darwin. Thatâs not any of my concern. That is Darwin. You saw those train tracks. If you couldnât get past them, I cannot help you.â
He concludes: âThat is not a good argument, see, because in this country, weâre not talking about a bunch of people who go down to the abortion place because theyâve been raped or because theyâve been a victim of incest. Weâre talking about a culture that we have created in this society that tells you when you want to feel good, go in there and go lay down and do your thing. If you get in a little trouble, itâs alright to murder somebody to get out of it. It is not â it is not okay.â
First off, this is some sort of logical fallacy here - straw man maybe?
Secondly, isn't wearing a seatbelt now something that conservatives are railing against again?
This is the correct answer. Private IPs are less concerning (on noes now someone knows a network in my homelab is 10.0.0.1/24!) - but absolutely change public IPs in logs.
If it's necessary to reference external users/systems in multiple log files, I'll change the names to user1, user2, server1, db2, etc
Absolutely! My FIL always talks about how much we must hate the student loan forgiveness stuff seeing as we've paid off loans for the better part of 20 years - and I just don't get it.
Yeah, pinching pennies and saving like crazy for a house was not fun, but why would I make someone else go through that if they didn't have to?
I'm in the same boat but for the home purchase. I close next week and had to pinch every penny for the better part of 3 years in order to make my cash to close. The proposed 25k would mean I only have to come up with 3k.
