I’d love some example questions for this.
I do a little bit of everything. Programming, computer systems hardware, networking, writing, traditional art, digital art (not AI), music production, whittling, 3d modeling and printing, cooking and baking, camping and hiking, knitting and sewing, and target shooting. There is probably more.

golden_zealot@lemmy.mlto Selfhosted@lemmy.world•Setting up a server for a research team. What should be in my checklist?English31·1 month agoPerhaps consider a SOCKS5 reverse proxy. If done over SSH, the client systems networking would act as though they are on the server itself, traffic would be secure, and it would walk around most firewall rules that probably exist.
Using key based authentication would also make it such that it is more secure and easier for the researchers to log in - they wouldn’t even have to remember a password, they would just need some SSH client/configs.
Specifically, read up on “bastion hosts”.
golden_zealot@lemmy.mlto Selfhosted@lemmy.world•What's up, selfhosters? It's self hosting Sunday!English3·2 months agoGot my HPE DL380 G9 networked and configured with hardware RAID 0 and Debian running under ProxMox for a test run (need more disks for RAID 5). Thing had an advanced iLo license intact from the previous owner.
Deployed a docker container of linkwarden to it to try out and it seems pretty nice.
golden_zealot@lemmy.mlto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What's your best tip or hack for camping?English2·3 months agoDepends on the bear. Black bears this can work, but if they attack you anyway you have to fight for your life or you are dead since they will keep attacking their prey until they are certain its dead.
Grizzlies… Be quiet and calm and talk in a low voice, also do not run if possible, if you run they will think you are prey. If they attack you, ball up, protect your neck and head, fight as well if you really have no other option. Making yourself seem big and scary isn’t very effective with them.
Polar bear, you’re just fucking dead.
For all of them, carry bear bangers and or bear spray.

golden_zealot@lemmy.mlto Piracy: ꜱᴀɪʟ ᴛʜᴇ ʜɪɢʜ ꜱᴇᴀꜱ@lemmy.dbzer0.com•*Permanently Deleted*English6·4 months agoI don’t agree with the sentiment that a word used by one guy next to a slur they also used imparts a derogatory meaning to the word as well. If this were the case, we would have a problem with a lot more words.
If someone said “F-slurs shine like a rainbow”, that doesn’t make the words shine or rainbow derogatory.
Furthermore with the contextual usage of glowie considered - if it is derogatory, then its usage shows that its derogatory to members of the CIA rather than people of color.
However if people continue to cite glowie as a slur for people of color, then people might start to use it in that context, and then it becomes a slur for people of color.
Therefore I would recommend not citing the use of the word in this way because all it can do is eventually add a derogatory connotation that doesn’t currently exist outside of being next to a slur during one usage or the creation of it.

golden_zealot@lemmy.mlto Selfhosted@lemmy.world•Plex now want to SELL your personal dataEnglish13·4 months agoUpNp or port forwarding is the same way both Plex and Jellyfin work.
I don’t know what makes Jellyfin less secure since they both work the same way for this as far as I can tell…
Can you be more specific about what makes Jellyfin less secure when it comes to UpNp/port forwarding?
In the case of port forwarding at least Jellyfin is open source and has more eyes on it so it’s less likely for someone to zero day it and have at it unless I have misunderstood how each can connect off-network.
Furthermore the hash for your password is stored along with many others at a single (or relatively few) attack point/s on a Plex business server since it’s a centralized business whereas this is never the case for Jellyfin.
Also this thread is about Plex literally selling your personal data so I don’t really consider Jellyfin worse for exposing your personal data.
I’ll take my chances with a single idiot who want’s to compromise my poor asses tiny network versus an actual hacker who wants to compromise an enterprise businesses network that is storing thousands or hundreds of thousands of user credentials, data, and payment information (Which Jellyfin doesn’t store even half of).
If someone hacks Jellyfin on my network -> They have my… media files? Maybe the hash of the one password I use there?
If somone hacks Plex on my network or anywhere - or the people they sold that data to -> They have my password hash, credit card number and probably my name that is associated to it, personal data that Plex is selling, etc.
TL:DR I think Plex is more likely to be hacked rather than myself and the outcome of Plex getting hacked is worse than if my personal Jellyfin server gets hacked.
golden_zealot@lemmy.mlto [Migrated, see pinned post] Casual Conversation @lemm.ee•What time do you usually get up in the morning?English2·4 months agoTuesdays and Thursdays when I have to take a train to work I’m up by 700 or earlier. Every other weekday when I’m remote I’m up at 730 to 800. I’m off every day at 1530. Weekends I’m up anywhere from 800 to 1100.
golden_zealot@lemmy.mlto Selfhosted@lemmy.world•Plex now want to SELL your personal dataEnglish42·4 months agoI went to the Jellyfin landing page, went to the install instructions, copy pasted and ran literally one command, opened it in a browser, made my local account, clicked a button to point it at my media folders and then I was done.
What isn’t easy?
golden_zealot@lemmy.mlto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•how do I stop being a sucker for alcoholic stuff on sale?English3·4 months agoDepends on whose definition it is.
Some define alcoholism as a dependence on the substance alone, others define it as a continued use of the substance despite it causing problems for the individual, other definitions require that the user display signs of physical dependency/withdrawal syndrome when no longer using the substance.
Anecdotally, in my experience usually people only begin referring to someone as an alcoholic when they become physically dependent and experience withdrawals when stopping use.
golden_zealot@lemmy.mlto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•LF 3.5mm 'silencer' plugs, and/or other ways to fuck with TVs in public areas that are blasting Fox all the time...English3·4 months agoFor me I feel like the real move with one of these is to have it rapidly increase the volume instead of turning off the TV because it will probably make the person who is playing it loud feel like people think it is them who is turning it up that much intentionally.
In most cases I think this would mortify them, leading them to turn it back down further than it was originally, or even turn it off themselves since they don’t want to be seen as an asshole and don’t want the attention on them.
Depends on the person though.
golden_zealot@lemmy.mlto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•Which news sources do you actually trust?English51·4 months agoI’ve stopped paying attention to what any regular news source says about anything themselves since it is all basically profit driven and therefore unreliable. Rather I just pay attention to sources where I can see what is said or done from the horses mouth directly, and then pay attention to people’s reactions to such things.
These are usually few and far between, but I’m talking about what was written or said by specific persons with the clear source of it coming from their personally verified outlets.
I also wait on this information before thinking too much about it as well because god knows if someone catches something out for being AI generated or a deepfake or what have you in this day and age. After a few days it gains some actual credibility as coming from that person and being the genuine article.
It is also important to still not trust what any one person says about something else as well, or even multiple persons. I can never really trust what is said by anyone as facts anymore - rather this only gives insight into that specific persons opinions on the other thing.
In the face of mountains of clear evidence and individually verified sources from many multiple persons - then and only then can I begin to trust something as fact.
golden_zealot@lemmy.mlto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•Any way to download all images from an lemmy communitiesEnglish7·4 months agoThere isn’t a straightforward way to do it as far as I can see - most likely because instances usually don’t want tonnes of requests for tonnes of data.
If you have knowledge in programming it would be feasible to write a script that either uses the Lemmy API to get this, or otherwise web scrape it.
golden_zealot@lemmy.mlto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•Can I delete my Lemmy account and just vanish?English1·4 months agoMissed that update, that’s great to know. Thanks!
golden_zealot@lemmy.mlto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•Can I delete my Lemmy account and just vanish?English18·4 months agoHowever, If I recall correctly, I think that when creating a post if you upload an image then it is immediately put into the database whether or not the post is actually made. As a result I don’t think there is a way to overwrite these, so some trace would still remain in such an instance if I am not mistaken.
Furthermore none of this prevents or rectifies snapshots or backups of data being created by pretty much any entity - I know that’s probably not in the scope of the question, but just something tangentially related to keep in mind.
golden_zealot@lemmy.mlto Mildly Infuriating@lemmy.world•Microsoft renames "Remote Desktop" to "Windows App". Good luck googling for any help or troubleshooting it.English12·4 months agoAs long as they havent renamed the back end name, can probably still search for information relating to it by referring to it as mstsc.exe.
golden_zealot@lemmy.mlto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•Have you ever had an experience you can't explain?English2·4 months agoI’m not looking for anything, I was describing an experience I can’t explain per the thread which was probably mechanical or electrical in nature. Unsure how you got that impression.
golden_zealot@lemmy.mlto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•Have you ever had an experience you can't explain?English21·4 months agoOne time on a summer day as a teenager I went to the grocery store with my Mom.
We parallel parked the car a ways away from other cars. We secured the car as normal and went on a short shopping trip.
When we came back out after maybe 15 minutes, all of the cars windows were rolled down completely.
We both know for a fact all the windows were rolled up when we left, and even if we had them down, there would have been no reason to have the back windows down.
Nothing was stolen, no one was around, everything appeared untouched.
This was a Nissan Murano if I recall correctly - it did have power windows, but at the time there was no fancy stuff to remote control car features outside of having a remote starter installed, which we did not have.
There was only one set of keys.
We still have absolutely no explanation for this to this day.
Ok.
I am poor.
