  • @BigTrout75 @Squiddork and ffs print out some instructions on how to access it all. And tell someone where you've put that.
    Consider using a decent password manager and you'll only need to let your loved ones know how to get into that.

  • @PyrPressure @TheLoneMinon Cars are seeming to forget who is in charge.
    I've a mate who's just dropped over 100k on a brand new LandCruiser and deliberately went for not the top-spec because it has too many "safety" features. And he's still finding things like it won't drive if a door is open - so no leaning out to reverse his towed caravan. Lane departure assist is ridiculously aggressive (and actually dangerous when towing a big caravan). Dog on the back seats sets the seatbelt alarms off. And way too much other stuff. Some of it can be disabled permanently with the aid of an ODB dongle.
    Car makers need to just stop.

  • @Ek-Hou-Van-Braai depends what you're labbing. any sort of virtualisation etc then a mini PC from Beelink or Bosgame etc. networking have a look at Ubiquiti stuff.
    yes, you can get "refurbished" stuff pike Cisco switches or whatever. but consider if big, old, slow, power hungry, umsupported kit is what you are ok with (it may well be)

  • @Aussieiuszko My son's school tops are white. White. Who thought white was a good idea for Year 7 boys? Has to go in a bucket of whatever that pink bottle is at end of each day.
    And whilst high quality, they are only available from one supplier at stupid prices.
    Thankfully they're just starting a 3 year swap over to dark blue.

  • @BeardedGingerWonder @BOFH666 always worth googling around for the Service Manual rather than User Manual for those things. And YouTube. Probably find the correct order in which to take it apart without too many curses.

  • @4am @BOFH666 would it know if you filled the rinse aid reservoir with water?

  • @p03locke @shalafi i have a primary email that uses a TLD released in 2014. I use it for any mails that aren't e.g. government or financial. The number of systems/servers/transports that haven't been updated to accept it is quite an annoyance.
    I avoid email anyway.

  • @Jinzul @cm0002 yep. i drew the line. no kid's music in the cars. And we had Classic Rock Bathtimes.
    They're better for it.
    And so am I

  • @TehBamski I'm going with:

    The Beagles

    The Beatle

    Buns n Roses

    STOOL

    Slack Slabbath

    Fleetwood Sac

    Talking Beads

    Jethro Dull

  • @quoll reminds me I've got an eye test soon. Pretty sure I'm more blind than last year. So that's another $500-odd I'll have to find

  • @SLVRDRGN @TokenEffort I feel the same when handed an iThing these days. I don't think it helps that the ones I'm handed have had everything on them moved around and whatnot by children.

  • @IrateAnteater @yesman if they do the "show secret" or whatever the option is called when your 2FA setup shows a QR code then you can copy that plain-text and save it somewhere (safe!) to just plumb it in to whatever authenticator app you decide to use elsewhere.
    If you use something like BitWarden then it can generate those 2FA codes for you and sync between whichever devices you use.

  • @ConfusedEmus @rtxn Figuring out DNS is always fun.
    And never ever ever make any, even small, DNS change on a Friday. Unless you don't like weekends.
    Is it time to break out the DNS haiku and pray to the name gods?

    ![It's the DNS haiku. Not my work. Is very widely circulated on the internet and I've no idea who to attribute the original to. Anyway, it's a watercolour(?) painting of a branch with pink blossom flowers. Show in the top left corner is the following calligraphic text:

    It's not DNS There's no way it's DNS It was DNS

    It appears to be isned "SSBroski"

    Anyway, as someone who's had days taken off their life by broken DNS I like this image.](https://o.mastodon.au/media_attachments/files/114/107/965/106/956/466/original/d05aeed43a3c9b71.webp)

  • @stetech @Xraygoggles there was a good article i read a couple of weeks ago about a guy who fired up a factory reset iPhone, opted out of all the crap but logged all connections it made (on his router). remind me tomorrow and i'll try and dig it out. i reckon you'd like it
