Link for what? The thousands of drivers in the Linux kernel?

ive used smart light bulbs in a botnet before

Yeah that’s why I never mentioned WiFi ones. Which can still be secured by not letting them access the rest of the network or the internet. That’s what we do in industrial automation, security standards for PLC software tend to suck, but that’s irrelevant if it can’t be reached.

and if you do a teardown on one of those locks you can probably get the firmware and uart to get the unlock function which you could use theoretically to unlock every single one

I don’t see how that’s relevant for a lock that’s inside an armoured door, it’s only accessible by disassembling the door, at which point unlocking it is moot.

Again, my door is armored and I live in an apartment high up enough that climbing, while possible, is challenging.
Together with non-flashy vehicles and the complete absence of anything valuable (besides RAM!), we’re not an interesting target. Even if someone broke in they’d have to be an electronics enthusiast to find anything worth stealing.

Yeah but, at least in my country, cars can’t be on the road (which would be the internet in this case), without passing the periodic inspection.

ZigBee, Z-wave and Thread have virtually 0 attack surface from an IoT perspective, and even then what are they gonna do, do radio hacking to turn off and on my lights? It’s not like they can be used in a botnet.
Locks is a bit more risky as an endeavor, but again, it’s probably easier to pick the lock than hack it… Actually with the quality of many smart locks, smashing them is easier still.

Smart TVs are way more problematic devices for example, as soon as they stop receiving updates, you have a bunch of high-speed internet connected devices with unresolved exploits just sitting there waiting for the right chance.

I was considering a smart lock for my (armored) front door, but just because there are some locks manufactured here in Italy that can be set to be controlled by external contacts.
Which means I could use and ESP or similar with esphome, now they also support wired, ethernet ones.
That’s way more secure than the shitty lock I have now, I’ve seen videos of people picking that with a decoder device in 30 seconds.

Grade refers to the minimum specifications tho, they don’t even describe the whole product

Why would rsync be faster? SSH traffic is encrypted, it’s usually slower than normal file transfers

It’s a hobby

I played through Horizon: Zero Dawn and Forbidden West, and with how hard every NPC was flirting with Aloy, I wondered “Why isn’t this a post-apocalyptic dating sim?”

I mean, Aloy is super cool, badass and hot as fuck, if you’re single, the only reason not to flirt with her would be fear.
I thought that with how things ended in HFW, the next game ought to be an RTS.

Don’t forget open source adoption

I’m very happy with my sofa, I’m not sure a replacement would be as good, so no.

Proxmox with community scripts LXCs is crazy

They clearly meant What Women Want, the historically successful movie starring Will Smith as a relationship consultant who drives around the wasteland in his V8 Interceptor.

You write “no specified edition”, meaning the setting? Do you know that C&C has two main separate settings, one being the Tiberium one, while the other the Red Alert one? With multiple games for each setting.

Your last paragraph is what I was talking about, software, not services.

phone apps too, buy once update forever doesn’t make sense, just like subscriptions don’t make sense at the other end of the spectrum

Horizon Zero Dawn and Days Gone were quite good

For all we know Joe was ace and was glad to have found a way to stop his parents’ nagging
