Tech Enthusiasts: Everything in my house is wired to the Internet of Things! I control it all from my smartphone! My smart-house is bluetooth enabled and I can give it voice commands via alexa! I love the future!

Programmers / Engineers: The most recent piece of technology I own is a printer from 2004 and I keep a loaded gun ready to shoot it if it ever makes an unexpected noise.

Security technicians: takes a deep swig of whiskey I wish I had been born in the neolithic.

I also got this survey and I had the same feeling. It felt more like a patron for their game preservation program with possible features like a members-only-community, interviews or documentation about the preserved games, their publishers/studios and the efforts to keep them running or some kind of loyalty rewards/discount coupons. Maybe even ‘special builds’ like ‘experience the OG version 1.0 of $game’.

There was one option, that I interpreted like ‘maybe we will put future compatibility updates after purchase (e.g. supporting Windows 12 or whatever) behind the membership’ - but that’s purely my interpretation of a single bullet point style line in that whole several page long survey

German legalese has Verkehr as a reference to in Verkehr bringen which means put something on the market / put something on circulation.

But it’s hard to recognize /learn because

1. Verkehr almost(?) always means traffic outside of legalese and
2. There are also traffic laws, that also use Verkehr but really mean traffic

While technically correct, the word Verkehr here does not translate to traffic, but rather belongs to the compound Verkehrsgenehmigung which is roughly a trade permit for selling a plot of land or using it as a collateral on a loan.

Don’t worry, it’ll cum to your mind

May I press it?

FTFY

I’m currently experimenting if I can convert my stack to rootless podman.

I found in my notes, that

A user-mode networking tool for unprivileged network namespaces must be installed on the machine in order for Podman to run in a rootless environment.

Podman supports two rootless networking tools: pasta (provided by passt) and slirp4netns.

Could this be your problem?

Yeah, I drive Horse shift

…orm removal pill?

I’ll just leave this here

If done correctly, those may only be open from the internet, but not from the local network. While SSH may only be available from your local network - or maybe only by the fixed IP of your PC. Other services may only be reachable, when coming from the correct VLAN (assuming you did segment your home network). Maybe your server can only access the internet, but not to the home network, so that an attacker has a harder time spreading into your home network (note: that’s only really meaningful, if it’s not a software firewall on that same server…)

Instead of thinking with layers, you should use think of Swiss cheese. Each slice of cheese has some holes - think of weaknesses in the defense (or intentional holes as you need a way to connect to the target legitimately). Putting several slices back to back (in random order and orientation) means that the way to penetrate all layers is not a simple straight way, but that you need to work around each layer.

So, the land where everything is trying to kill you is very anti violence?

…But will it run DOOM?

Instructions unclear, now I’m using the Windows terminal to launch Ubuntu and also have it running in Hyper-V. How does that help me if my windows is out of support? ^/s

The problem is more the CPU than the motherboard. But upgrading the CPU might also mean upgrading the motherboard and maybe RAM.

That’s exact why I included it here. There are only few happening per year but it’s such a strange topic and somehow fascinating to watch

When they want us to call it Gulf of America, why can’t we just also name it Flu of America?

• Daily incremental (and occasionally full) backup to an external HDD - a full image of my PCs, so that I should be able to restore anything back to what it was in the last ~14 days, assuming no ransomware or fire or…
• All the data I care about gets synced to my Nextcloud (VPS, not home lab) - somewhat ransomware protected as I could restore VPS backups independently from my PC.
• Most precious data (mostly photos) gets backed up regularly to an encrypted zip file and then gets send to a glacier tier S3 bucket. Some manual retention is done on the zip file level, so that I can get a tad older backup restored.
• At least monthly a full backup image of my PCs is created on a separate external HDD which is not stored at home, but in a place I could access 24/7 if I really needed to restore something fast.

Phones, etc? Just sync to the mentioned Nextcloud, PC downloads from there and everything gets then into the aforementioned backups.

Homeserver? See “PC” above. With the caveat that some VMs/containers are not in the backup cycle, as they do not store any valuable data besides temp files, etc. For these, only things like docker compose files, custom config, ansible playbooks,… are in my backup.
