Leopards Ate My Face@lemmy.world•‘He’s lied about everything’: Iran war puts Trump on shaky ground with young MAGA menEnglish

homeassistant@lemmy.world•How many of you have an HA solution, which is open to the internet?English
3·4 days agoSo - can I just open it up, and rely on long, complex passeords? Or is that a complete no-go?
Install Fail2Ban on a free cloud VM and watch it for a couple of days. Seeing the never-ending intrusion attempts from around the world was a real eye-opener. There is no way I’d expose HA (or anything else except Wireguard) to the Internet. (Open WG ports appear closed unless they receive the correct key.)
In your situation I’d just pay for Home Assistant Cloud. It’s not expensive and will do exactly what you want to do.
For a zero cost solution I use Tasker to automatically enable a Wireguard tunnel whenever we’re not on home wifi. It allows direct access to everything on our local lan, and as a bonus prevents our wireless carrier from monitoring our Internet activities. A combination of the OpenWRT Ubus integration and a BLE integration (using inexpensive Shelly switch modules) detect when we’re home with 100% accuracy.

Android@lemdro.id•The loss of OnePlus in the US will sting but, sadly, won’t actually matterEnglish
5·4 days agoIMO OnePlus died when Oppo took over, discontinued Oxygen OS and replaced it with a slightly camouflaged Color OS.
I had a 9 Pro that I really liked at the time and some of the OS features I purchased the phone for immediately disappeared. To top it off Oppo seemed to stop fixing bugs, even some severe ones making the phone frustrating to use. I was a repeat customer, but after that there was no way I’d ever buy another
OnePlusOppo phone.

42·5 days agoWhat goals would those be? Would it be opening the Strait of Hormuz? Or how about an Iran without nuclear weapons?
Funny how we had both of those “goals” before the shitgibbon started the war.

Technology@lemmy.world•Newly purchased Vizio TVs now require Walmart accounts to use smart featuresEnglish
31·8 days agoRoku is every bit as bad. They bricked all customer’s previously purchased TVs by implementing a new user agreement through their UI without warning. It couuld not be bypassed. Opting out required first opting in, agreeing to those new terms and then mailing a letter within a very short window with explicit, detailed requirements.
My next TV won’t be connected to the Internet and definitely won’t be a Roku or Visio product.

Selfhosted@lemmy.world•self-hosted KeePass database in the cloud, what are some good options?English
4·9 days agoI set up KeepassKC with Syncthing temporarily years ago while looking for other options. To my surprise it’s worked so well there’s been no reason to change to anything else.
The database file is always backed up to multiple devices. With Syncthing file versioning turned on older backups are available if that file gets corrupted, but in 8+ years I’ve never had to use one of those older backups.
Initially I was using Syncthing discovery servers which allowed syncing from anywhere, but I’ve since moved away from that. Now everything is run locally and I use Wireguard to connect to my home network when I’m away.
I’d get that old Pi running with a cheap SSD, set up Wireguard (or just use the Syncthing discovery servers), put it on a shelf and forget about it. It’ll probably run for years with minimal attention.

Technology@lemmy.world•HP realizes that mandatory 15-minute support call wait times isn’t good supportEnglish
201·13 days agoHP is a garbage company. My laptops typically last until the hardware is well past obsolete, but not HP’s crap. My HP X360 laptop’s motherboard failed completely and the hinges just fell apart for the 2nd time. This POS didn’t last for 3 years of occasional use. Never again.

Not The Onion@lemmy.world•Afroman cleared in ‘Lemon Pound Cake’ defamation caseEnglish
52·14 days agoWatched Aftoman’s testimony. It’s beggars belief that the police’s attorney repeatedly demands sympathy from both Afroman and the jury for the poor, victimized police officer’s hurt feelings and embarrassment after her actions were made public.
Afroman puts it well when the attorney is trying to get that sympathy, “But I’m not a person. She is. I’m sorry for being a victim. Let’s talk about the predators [instead].”

Try testing TLP in battery mode even if you’re not using a laptop. You can configure all kinds of things to your liking with it.
I tried it out a few years ago and none of my server apps showed any noticeable decrease in performance with it running, but my power monitoring plug did show a reduction in power consumption. I ended up leaving it enabled all the time.
