Knowing you could turn on recall to spy in this way implies an individual with the technical know how to grab a freeware keylogger anyways.

Similarly with airtags, you have been able to buy cheaper cellular based GPS trackers for years prior to airtags existing.

In the airtag case, those GPS tags also do not alert the individual that there is a beacon following their person, and as such most likely go unnoticed and under reported.

You should check out the Xeon D offerings from Supermicro. They make some M-ITX motherboards with embedded Xeon D chips that sport dual 10GB Ethernet. Used one in a freenas system at one point for years

Looks like the X10SDV-TLN4F[1] has everything you mentioned besides a second m.2 slot. Although its 8 cores they are a few generations old and low power (45w TDP on x86). For true compute its not exactly fast but for something like a high performance file server in 1U connected to a disk shelf, they are really nice.

Apache Guacamole may be what you are looking for

"Apache Guacamole is a free and open-source, cross-platform, clientless remote desktop gateway maintained by the Apache Software Foundation. It allows users to control remote computers or virtual machines via a web browser, and allows administrators to dictate how and whether users can connect using an extensible authentication and authorization system."

Yeah Minecraft (FTB, ATM, any kitchen sink modpack really), Satisfactory, DSP, Factorio, now Palworld. Thousands of hours myself I imagine

Stay away from Factorio if you do not want to double your number

(2) If you're thinking about buying an AVP and not thinking about buying an MQ3 at 1/7 the price you're not thinking or at least you're not an technology enthusiast you're an Apple enthusiast.

I bought the Quest 1 when it was an Occulus product and stopped using it the moment they started enforcing Meta anything within the device. I could not care less if it is a 1:1 hardware equivalent as long as it has anything to do with the Meta empire. The last I checked, my Quest 1 refuses to function on my home network because of the filtering I enforce on my router...

The "technology enthusiast" crowd is highly heterogeneous

Isn't basic conditioning the point the artist is attempting to make? I interpreted the project as pointing out that social media uses fundamentally similar reward mechanisms as we use in training animals

Fair enough, I assume the down votes came as a result of the tone.

I'll bite. I am willing to bet the majority of people down voting you are more than capable of hosting an email server. But like me, see it as not worth the potential risks involved.

Before even considering why someone might not choose to do so, I would like to point out that selfhosting email is not even that hard to do nowadays. I spent a couple hours a few years back manually setting up a stack on a dummy domain just to see if its as hard as developer circles make it out to be. It was not. Furthermore a quick search today nets half a dozen docker containers you can spin up that claim to be one stop solutions for email. If even a fraction of them succeed in what they claim you could self host email with one command and an env file. You could even use the dockerfiles as a template to run the software on metal, its all there.

Even with this newfound knowledge, and as someone who tries to selfhost equivalents to any service I find myself using regularly, I would never attempt to host my own main emails. My bank accounts are linked to my emails, my investment accounts, my insurance, my loans, things that I am not willing to risk compromising my ability to access as the result of some sort of overly prideful sentiment.

Just because someone has the ability and knowledge to host their own email does not mean they should or would even consider it.

Although its supported, its not well documented enough to be a good way to learn about cloud-init in my experience. I tried configuring a K3's cluster across three proxmox nodes via cloud-init to get some exposure to it and eventually gave up and just configured them manually

I actually use Proxmox on my main PC. Ryzen 5950x, 64GB RAM, RTX 4070, AMD 6500XT. The two GPU's are each passed to a Windows and Debian VM respectively, and each also gets a USB card passed for convenience. I run half a dozen other VM's off of it hosting various portions of the standard homelab media/automation stacks.

Anecdotally, it's a very effective setup when combined with a solid KVM. I like keeping my main Debian desktop and the hypervisor separate because it keeps me from borking my whole lab with an accidental rm -rf.

It is possible to pass all of a systems GPU's to VM's, using exclusively the web interface/shell for administration, but it can cause some headaches when there are issues unrelated to the system itself. For example, if I lose access to the hypervisor over the network, getting the system back online can be a bit of a PITA as you can no longer just plug it into a screen to update any static network configuration. My current solution to this is enabling DHCP on Proxmox and managing the IP with static mappings at the router level.

There are a few other caveats to passing all of the GPU's that I could detail further, but as a low impact setup (like running emulators on a TV) its should work fairly well. I have also found that Proxmox plays well with mini PC's. Besides the desktop, I run it on an Intel NUC as well as a Topton mini PC with a bunch of high-speed NICS as a router. I cluster them without enabling the high availability features in order to unify the control plane for the three systems into one interface. It all comes together into a pretty slick system

Is this the reason Windows Task Manager seems to show Vmmem (WSL2) as gobbling up well more RAM then WSL seems to indicate is in use?

I have more then enough RAM on my office workstation to just accept this, but on my personal gaming computer that moonlights as a dev machine, I run into issues and have to kill WSL from time to time.

It seems it will still be limited by its linguistic understanding of the surrounding context, at least in the first chicken sandwich picture.

Although its interpretation could make some sense but is also mostly wrong if talking about physical size of a modern GPU's main processor compared to the size of the associated VRAM chips. It has missed the joke entirely as far as I am aware. I think the joke is actual about Nvidia's handling of product segmentation, selling massive processors with less memory than is reasonable to pair them with on their consumer gaming offerings, while loading up the nearly identical chips with more memory for scientific and compute applications...

So much so that America's allies are lining up to get them!

I recently discovered that using the Verizon website on Firefox is pretty much impossible, it similarly has nightmarish login/account issues. Whatever issue the browser has with the site even managed to break their new account flow on two installations I've had done in recent months. The installation and appointments were scheduled and performed, but nobody in their support teams can find either account in their systems and I have not received a bill.

1Gb symmetric at both locations in NYC though and a free Xbox One S and $300 Visa giftcard.

They have essentially paid me to use them as my ISP, and contact from their support teams attempting to figure it out is getting increasingly infrequent

Similarly to how you can currently decide which is more important to you: "Having an iPhone" or "The ability to sideload apps on your device"

The recovery teams goal was to sink the booster even if it touched down safely. Their plan was to quite literally shoot it with small-arms until it took on enough water to sink. This is a documented best-case outcome for the launch. There were no plans to recover anything other than data

You would think this, but one wrong move and its all gone. In the process of migrating away from GSuite for my personal domain/email hosting, my had-already-existed-prior-to-GSuite google account was closed., unrecoverably as far as I can tell. I lost a literal lifetimes worth of school and personal work that I had naively assumed was safe, and of course there is no actual support available to a one man closed GSuite account.

In my experience, separating whites (not only so they can be bleached when wanted) from darks from colors is definitely still necessary?

I actually turned a beige sweater that snuck into the wrong load beige-blue just yesterday with a pair of AG Jeans that have been washed every other week since I got them two years ago

You probably already know of him, but you should check out BPS Space on youtube if you enjoy long-form video edutainment. Much like Tim Dodd, Joe makes videos full of detail and information about topics he is clearly passionate about. In the case of BPS Space that is pushing the limits of amateur rocketry in a uniquely hacker/programmer friendly manor.

On the linked Topton box from Aliexpress, in theory it could be given the architecture but the product description specifically says non-ecc sodims

I run Debian and install Docker and Proxmox on it

Intel has the NUC Extremes which offer a full x16 slot in a fairly small footprint. The Core of the computer itself looks like a small GPU, and it plugs into a daughter board that acts as a coupler for its two x16 slots.

I think most people throw GPU's in them but I don't see a reason why you couldn't just fit it with a nice NIC

These small boxes make for great homelab servers. I use a Topton box from AliExpress[1] as a router/VM/container host and love it. It has an iGPU in case SHTF, and 4 individual 2.5GB Ethernet ports. The only thing it really lacks is out of band management.

Run pfsense/opn in a VM, plug in WAN/AP/NAS/Desktop and you have a lightning fast network/development lab (by home use standards at least).

Even if you were not planning on using it as a lab, one of these kinds of boxes and a strong AP beats out even the high-end consumer focused routers all in ones without breaking a sweat at ~50W

A long time ago I ran a rack-mount Dell R710 with an external disk shelf. It drew ~600W from what I remember and had a fraction of the power

I don't know of any fully featured services, but something like Fiver (https://www.fiverr.com/) in combination with services like JLBPCB (https://jlcpcb.com/) or PCBWay (https://www.pcbway.com/) could act as an equivalent.

An integrated combination or even a board design offering from either of the two mentioned manufacturers would be awesome and really help bring down the barrier to entry for hobbyists that want to try moonlighting as entrepreneurs

Most of these accounts existed before DEFI was a twinkle in Vitalik's eye.

That being said if I could go back in time and avoid making them, I think I still would....

It's my experience that having had any crypto-adjacent accounts associated with my main email over the last decade has caused the single largest increase in email spam of anything I have ever done. I used to engage in the industry (in the mid to late 2010's when most trading was done through centralized exchanges) and it seems a few of the old platforms have leaked/lost/sold their email databases. I get ~2-3 emails daily now that I assume are all scams saying various things along the lines of "You have n free XYZ token waiting to be collected!" and "Ensure you update your ledger for the latest security patches! Here is a link to it! Please ignore that its not to an official ledger domain!"

A lot of the spam seems to be either proxied through insecure wordpress comment plugins or simply signing my email up for accounts on random websites and somehow injecting their phishing attempts into the account confirmation emails. They come from all sorts of domains, most of which having nothing to do with crytpo, and nearly all of the messages are embedded in some sort of broken HTML email body.

Although I no longer follow or have much interest in the industry, I am hesitant to outright blacklist crypto terms. Has anyone come up with a good solution to combating crypto email spam?

There are plenty of SSH clients that run on the iPad and code-server works as a fully featured IDE

code-server https://github.com/coder/code-server works fairly well and can be saved to the home screen as a web applet to get rid of the browser URL bar. Their are a few UI issues related to touch but it has served well enough for some light work.

You can also use a remote apps like Rainway/TeamViewer/RDP/VNC somewhat successfully to get a more full desktop experience. Unfortunately they all seem to have their own input caveats that take some getting used to.

I am personally waiting for Parsec to release native iPadOS and tvOS clients as it provides the best experience I have found.

It seems like the gaming oriented remote desktop apps (Rainway https://rainway.com/, Parsec https://parsec.app/) are the best though as the latency on the more traditional ones is somewhat of a hindrance.

USB/Bluetooth keyboard and mouse support tends to work okay, but the simulated touch mouse makes getting used to things tough. If you have not tried using iPad OS with a mouse I suggest you look into before making a purchase as it is a fairly limiting experience.

If you have any interest in flight simulators, VTOL VR is a fantastic multiplayer VR flight sim with large multiplayer lobbies. It strikes a good balance between arcade and realism too and is incredibly immersive. Unfortunately (maybe not?) its on steam VR so you will need a PC to handle the rendering but can stream it to a quest using link

Shane, heartfelt thanks for what you are doing. Having spent a large portion of my career in early childhood STEM education, 'edutainment' is the best means I have come across to communicate complex topics while capturing attention of youth. You are in my personal 'Top 5' and your content is now my go to recommendation to friends/parents.

P.S. I used to work as a retail educator at MakerBot, while you were with FormLabs. SLA always blew my FDM centric mind
