Zeal Zilent v2 62g are like MX Browns but better.

Brown's tactile is a little too little for me. Wanted blue's tactile but with the silent of browns. So I went Zilents.

Just remember it's always about the profits.

Just like how they stopped selling chargers for the sake of reducing e-waste. Even though they can save on shipping weights and charge extra for 1st party chargers.

Now is it worse for the environment to produce extra chargers and cables? Or the secondary purchases, shipping, and manufacturing? I can't tell you the actual impact.

Oh and remember the absolute trash 1A/5V charging bricks they included for the longest time ever? They hardly even pushed out 18w bricks before they nixed the entire included charger crap.

Defense in depth.

Anyone who's certified NET+ or higher knows this.

I didn't see porkbun here. Is there a reason why?

All of my domains are on porkbun.

I'm happily using YubiKey, wish everyone implemented U2F

Pfft, real audiophiles will use a DAC or a DAP

Although I'm not willing to carry something additional to my phone and earbuds to listen to music.

Post your last 100 transactions?

This is why I bought framework this time around. Hopefully they exist 5-10 years down the line.

I use VeraCrypt over Bitdefender since it doesn't rely on the TPM.

I don't have high value items on my laptop, but at least it protects my password manager and credentials.

Is there anything else I should do to harden my laptop?

To save money, they can go the derelict laptop route.

If they get a low tdp board, maybe like an old laptop without a battery, the power difference isn't going to be too much. Pi can pull 9W at full tilt. And an old Ultrabook with it's monitor tuned off or unplugged can probably pull 35-45W at full tilt.

So 45W - 9W = 36W

36w x 24hr x 356 = 315,360Wh

315.36kWh x 0.25 cents = 78.84 a year

But that's assuming everything is running at full speed. For something running 24/7, we can probably estimate idle state is more common. Laptops can idle about 3-4W a pi4 is also idle around 3-4W.

So 90% at 4W and 10% at 45W for the laptop

And 90% at 4W and 10% at 9W for the pi

Gives us 8.1W average for the laptop

And 4.5W for the pi

Giving us a total difference of 31.536kWh. or 7.88 additional a year.

This is also assuming the laptop has the same computational power as the pi, which isn't true, so the laptop will end up finishing tasks faster than the pi and use more power for a shorter amount of time.

What's wrong with fairphone?

Not an answer but more of a mitigation strategy.

Duck mail proxy and a password manager that uses its API solves a few of the issues.

Phone number is linked to Google voice so I can change it on the whim.

Stardew Valley

Terraria

I have a VLAN with a dead gateway

Yeah me as well.

Had a cheap server that had 2 x 2tb for stuff I wanted to access while away

Then turned into 3 x 8tb for redundancy and ZFS

Then turned into 2 x 3 x 20tb for dual redundancy and ZFS1

Now I want to upgrade to ECC memory and the cpu, Mobo, and ram will likely cost over $1k.

Plus with more hardware it will use more power. I'm at 125w normal usage. That costs me $284 a year to run my stack.

I'm going to need a source on that so I can avoid those kinds of TVs.

Roaming is usually client based.

All you can do is make sure 802.11-2012/802.11r is enabled or supported.

You can also disassociate via RSS strength but you may disassociate too soon lose connectivity.

Just use a YubiKey and keep it plugged in

Wingspan. I have the Vinyl OST.

Monument Valley is quite nice too.

They're both exos.
