So you can’t criticize a movie if you haven’t made one.

Not really. The first local login to configure it requires a Plex account. And that account times out maybe monthly? It seems every few months when I remote to the Plex server it wants the plex account to login.

The problem with Plex is it isn’t fully hosted. Plex controls user passwords. You can’t use it without logging into their servers.

Second line of credit or mortgage, its still debt. The two are equivalent because you could also make more mortgage payments to pay it down quicker.

Your suggestion translates to “Don’t worry about home repairs, just take on more debt to pay them.”

after that you can tap into home equity and repair say a roof.

There’s no, “tapping into home equity.” There’s only extending the mortgage with more debt.

20 years ago my sister did all sorts of home improvements that she said were free because she was “tapping into equity”. Now she’s nearing retirement and complains she still has giant mortgage payments.

I’m guilty of ignoring my water heaters. Had my backup start to leak and it cost $1500 to replace. So I immediately bought a new anode rod for my primary tank. Drained/flushed it and replaced the old rod which was completely gone. It was an easy task but you will need a cheap impact wrench, 1 1/16" socket and chain link anode rod to make it easy.

It’s something you need to do every couple of years. But I never do it.

There’s a great fictional movie called Gangs of New York that covers the real life anti immigration riots that happened in New York City during the civil war.

Preventing users from breaking their machines unless they really work to bypass the defaults is a good thing. It’s the same path all major Linux distros have followed by doing things like disabling the root account at install. The entire ethos of distros like NixOS is to not be able change your own OS unless you actively go out of your way.

The important part is that you can change it.

Obviously an elevated super user like linux has would be much more secure,

NTFS access control entries are more secure than traditional Unix owners. It’s why Linux copied NTFS style ACE file permissions years ago.

F/ ?

It doesn’t break anything to add privileges. It’s only a security risk.

Hold on, lemme go ask chatGPT what I should think about this subject.

I like to fill the bucket with water to cool the blade when cutting metal.

There are free dynamic DNS services so you don’t need to pay for a static ip. I like noip.com.

If build volume is a limitation, I’ve seen all sorts of snap together plates you could crib from. For example I recently printed this pacman boardgame. https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:5396911

The interlocks are completely hidden by the overhangs of the other plates. Once snapped together, you can’t see that it is made of separate parts.

There are too many terms. If you simplified every medical term you’d end up with too many words that were almost identical but meant very different conditions.

I see it like thinking you could compress any possible number string to a simpler number that’s easier to remember.

Disk encryption is Luks not bcrypt and Luks timeouts are configurable.

I think he’s referring to the 10 second pause between attempts. It’s security theatre because you can replace the bootloader with one that doesn’t pause.
