  • How's my network privacy? Should I switch from a commercial router to PFsense or something?

    Jump

  • Since all connections go through the ISP router anyway you won’t really gain that much privacy unless you directly put a VPN on your router.

    I'm more concerned about local network traffic to and from my home server, especially over Wi-Fi. Most of it is SSH but there are still some unencrypted HTTP (and proxy) traffic.

  • Thank you for the in depth explanation of hard drive noises! I have everything I care about backed up and will keep listening for changes. Hopefully it's just an OS thing.

  • was not a medical condition and just a word

    It is just a word. It means to delay or the opposite of "advance" and is still used like that in industries like aviation and terms like fire removedant.

    But when you use it to call someone stupid, that's when you're using it in the context of ablism and as a slur.

    Similar to the term for a female dog, which is still used in veterinary medicine and research to mean an actual dog that is female. Though like the R word, the context as a slur is gradually discouraging its use even as its original meaning because people don't want to risk having it misunderstood.

  • I tried using smartctl but it doesn't seem to like the fact that it's in a USB enclosure and says "unknown USB bridge". Trying smartctl -d sat does give some SMART information and says that the "overall-health self-assessment test result" is passed for both based on "Attribute checks", but I'm not sure if it's actually passed or it just can't see the actual failing information. It also says "SMART status not supported: Incomplete response, ATA output registers are missing" above the passed result which seems to indicate that it's missing the information it needs for a full assessment.

    I run Pi-Hole and Ollama in containers, but neither have mount points or volumes on the hard drives, only the system SSD.

    One drive is a fairly new Seagate IronWolf Pro, but the other is a refurbished server hard drive so if one is dying it's probably that one, though the stuff I actually care about is copied on both drives and a third one that's offline and unplugged.

    The weird thing is that this only started happening when I reinstalled the OS, but like I said I reinstalled with newer version so that might be the cause? Maybe some disk/fs implementation changed and now does things automatically when the drives are idle that 42 didn't do? But I feel like that would still trigger the indicators.

    My next step is probably to use inotify to look at file accesses, experiment with only mounting one drive at a time to see which one clicks or if they all do, maybe even connect the drives to another computer over SATA to do a full SMART check.

    Thank you!

  • Piece of shit. Simple and to the point. Shit's pretty gross and it's universal human instinct to avoid it. Maybe even shithead if you want a single word.

    Asshole. Gender neutral and not tied to ethnicity since we all have one. Maybe even going further and calling someone an asshole related condition like prolapsed rectum or hemorrhoid, things that can happen to anyone, are pretty painful and definitely to be avoided, but AFAIK were never conditions that were heavily marginalized or shamed.

    Clown or fool. Clowns/fools are types of characters people played historically (and still do?), IMO it doesn't imply anything about a person's actual intelligence or mental state, only their actions. You're not born a clown or fool, but you can definitely act like one. Also lends itself to a snarky 🤡 emoji I've seen some people here use instead of typing out an insult.

    Though there could be additional context or history to any of these terms I'm not aware of that push them into one of the -ist categories, IDK I'm not a linguist.

  • Worst are the "themed ads" on transit systems.

    Remember when Amazon Prime literally plastered Nazi and Imperial Japanese symbols on the NY Subway or when the London Underground literally renamed entire stations and lines for weeks for a brand deal that caused confusion when people couldn't find the old name because they changed all the maps and signs, like when Samsung turned the Circle Line to "Circle to Search Line"?

    This is literally the kind of shit you'd see in kids cartoons from the stereotypical corporate villain character.

    I already hate regular graffiti on transit but there's unfortunately not that much a cash and resource strapped transit agency can do about it, this is like a middle finger from the transit agency telling you that they absolutely don't care about their commuters.

    Also fuck "viral marketing" stunts posing as ARGs. You think you've discovered an art piece online by some indie creator, get really invested trying to look for clues and crack the hidden narrative, but then find out it's just promoting Harry Styles or something.

  • Is Erlang special in its architecture or is it more that it's functional?

    One day I'll learn how to do purely functional, maybe even purely declarative. But I have to train my brain to think of computer programs like that.

    Is there a functional and/or declarative language that has memory management features similar to Rust as opposed to a garbage collector?

  • Probably a sign of just how much Zionist propaganda is out there, especially in English. "AI" doesn't know what it's actually saying and can only make statistical predictions of what's been said before.

  • but literally beating the flagship desktop chips in single-core performance

    See, this is what I despise about x86. AFAIK it's literally RISC on the bare metal but there are hundreds of "instructions" running microcode which is basically just a translation layer. You're not allowed to write code for the actual RISC implementation because that's a trade secret or something. So obviously single core performance would be shit because you're basically running an emulator all the time.

    RISC-V can't come fast enough. Maybe someone will even make a chip that's RISC-V but with the same instruction/microcode support as x86. So you can run RISC-V code directly or do the microcode thing and pretend you're on x86. Though that would probably get the shit sued out of them by Intel because god forbid there's actual innovation that the original creator can't cash in on.

  • Are RISCV microcontrollers out yet? Might be a good idea to rally around making a fully open IDE ecosystem and breakout board standard for it (maybe even make it pin compatible with the old school Arduino, surely they can't sue for that right?)
