Anti-tamper.

I've seen them used to screw together toilet stalls in public bathrooms. Stops bored crackheads disassembling them.

Robertson on it's own, yes. As long as you use the proper size driver before you round out the square.

When you start carving out space for additional drivers though, the screw head becomes much weaker. The combo Robertson/Slotted/Philips screw heads will not standup to the same forces.

A good portion of these are 'security'/anti-tamper fasteners, which basically just means they're intentionally weirdly shapped and uncommon so people aren't likely to be carrying the screwdrivers to tamper with stuff.

Stops things like bored crackheads disassembling the toilet stall in a public bathroom.

who the fuck outside of Japan has a JIS driver lying around, then they strip real easy. Ask me how I know.

Funnily enough, I only know about these because I've got one of I Fix-It's screwdriver sets with 70 driver bits.

I was wondering why there were two sets of what looked like Philips and went looking for info.

6-lobe, star, and Torx are all names for the same somewhat common screw type. Torx is a trademarked brand name however.

Separately there's a 5-lobe screw called 'pentalobe' that's looks just like the 6-lobe but with, well..., 5 lobes. It was developed by Apple iirc, to keep people out of their products and make repair harder.

Philips/Square/Slotted (all three combined) is really common in North American electrical. Switches, outlets, breakers; all commonly use them for terminal screws.

Great for lower torque applications; you certainly wouldn't use them for like a deck/structural screw.

Philips are too easy to strip and Slotted screws are rage inducing trying to keep the driver aligned. :(

Not pictured here is also 'JIS' or Japanese Industry Standard screws.

They are very similar to Philips, but they're slightly deeper with sharper corners. They have less tendency to 'cam-out' and strip the screw head.

Supposedly the camming out thing is actually intentional design in Philips screws, to prevent screw guns from over torquing screws in early automotive/aircraft assembly lines; but there's not actually evidence to support that according to Wikipedia.

That will solve part of the problem, preventing downloads before an item has even released; but there's still lots of potential to grab unwanted torrents and leave the arrs asking for intervention when they can't import it.

Ideally the indexers would be filtering out this junk before users can even grab them, but failing that I think we've got a decent solution. Check out the edited OP

No, I don't. Haven't been on Reddit for 2.5 years though, so why would I.

Stop torturing yourself OP. Move on.

Hexbear lost their domain (It's currently up for auction), and have moved to chapo.chat

Pretty sure we're defederated from hexbear, thought id pass on the new name to be re-defederated if it hasn't been already.

 

Got a couple rpi 3Bs I'd like to use headless.

Downloaded 32bit pi os lite, flashed it to an sd card, powered on and did the initial setup (select keyboard layout, set first user+pass).

As soon as I'm dropped into a shell, I run 'sudo apt update' then 'sudo apt upgrade -y'.

Once these finish, I type 'sudo reboot'; the pi reboots, shows the rainbow splash, about a dozen lines of kernal boot messages then the video output dies and after a couple seconds the act light stops flashing too. Disconnecting power and powering it again does the same thing.

I don't think it's hardware failure as I get the same results with both 3Bs and with a 4B.

I don't know what to do from here.

I've spent the last 6 hours retrying this with both the 32 and 64 bit versions of pi os light. I can't get past the initial update/upgrade.

Anyone got any ideas? Anyone got a spare sd card, a pi 3B, and some free time to see if I'm just stupid somehow? I don't understand what I'm doing wrong.

/edit: RESULTS!

I can only assume this was a bad sd card. Tried a different card, with the exact same procedure: it finally booted after an upgrade.

Ran the update/upgrade again + a dist-upgrade and a couple more reboots. Up and running.

Excuse me while I go grab an image of that working card to file away.

Are any of you aware of projects similar to DizqueTV; a HDHomeRun tuner simulator that creates simulated live tv channels? (Dizque depends on Plex integration and cannot be used without it)

I'm looking for a solution to create simulated 'tv' channels by defining local content to be played on a schedule. Ideally just selecting a few shows to be played, mixed together. These channels would then be added to Emby/Plex/Jellyfin for users to tune into just like regular livetv.

I've been keeping an eye on Dizque for over a year now awaiting plex independence, but I don't think that'll be anytime soon. Wondering if there's alternatives.

/edit; should probably link the project I'm talking about...

In the last couple of weeks, I've started getting this error ~1/5 times when I try to open one of my own locally hosted services.

I've never used ECH, and have always explicitly restricted nginx to TLS1.2 which doesn't support it. Why am I suddenly getting this, why is it randomly erroring, then working just fine again 2min later, and how can I prevent it altogether? Is anyone else experiencing this?

I'm primarily noticing it with Ombi. I'm also mainly using Chrome Android for this. But, checking just now; DuckDuckGo loads the page just fine everytime, and Firefox is flat out refusing to load it at all.

Firefox refuses to show the cert it claims is invalid, and 'accept and continue' just re-loads this error page. Chrome will show the cert; and it's the correct, valid cert from LE.

There's 20+ services going through the same nginx proxy, all using the same wildcard cert and identical ssl configurations; but Ombi is the only one suddenly giving me this issue regularly.

The vast majority of my services are accessed via lan/vpn; I don't need or want ECH, though I'd like to keep a basic https setup at least.

Solution: replace local A/AAAA records with a CNAME record pointing to a local only domain with its own local A/AAAA records. See below comments for clarification.

 

I've been using paperless-ngx to consume mail from outlook/hotmail for a while now, but recently had the mail server refuse connections while mail was being processed. (Not sure why, consuming is working now with no changes and no errors besides 'connection refused', while retrieving that mail. Temporary outage I guess?)

This left me with a couple pieces of mail not imported. However, now everytime the mail consume task runs, it recognizes that those pieces of mail are there but refuses to process them with the message:

Skipping mail '421' '<email subject>' from '<sender email>', already processed.

How can I get it to recognize those mails HAVE NOT been processed?

 

Aug 13 (Reuters) - General Motors (GM.N), has been sued by the state of Texas, which accused the automaker of installing technology on more than 14 million vehicles to collect data about drivers, which it then sold to insurers and other companies without drivers' consent.

I've noticed with the last 2-3 versions of the app (currently 0.0.69, nice); the app crashes 2/3rds of the time when returning to it from being in the background.

Open the app, switch to another app, switch back a couple min later and it closes then reopens as if you'd just started it for the first time today (losing whatever post you had open).

Curious if others are experiencing this?

Android 14, One UI 6.1

 

I've started noticing this icon more and more: usually on comments with no downvotes. What's it mean?

 

CPU/GPU/RAM/Disk usage, logs, errors, network usage, overall status, etc

What do you use/prefer?

Mainly looking for self-hosted web based tools, stuff I can view from a browser; but desktop and CLI apps are welcome too :)

 

I have what may be a stupid question...

How is it your master password is both used to decrypt your vault and used to authenticate with bitwardens public servers to acquire a copy of your vault/view it in the web app, but bitwarden can't use that password entry to decrypt the vault themselves?

(please correct me if I'm misunderstanding, as I use self-hosted vaultwarden for my server instead of the public ones)

After almost a year of repeated emails stating the transition from Google Domains will have no effect on customers, no action is required; I just got this email:

Update Dynamic DNS records Hi there, As previously communicated, Squarespace has purchased all domain name registrations and related customer accounts from Google Domains. Customers are in the process of being moved to Squarespace Domains, but before we migrate your domain [redacted] we wanted to inform you that a feature you use, Dynamic DNS (DDNS), will not be supported by Squarespace.

So apparently SquareSpace will be entirely useless to me and I've got "as soon as 30 days" to move.

Got any suggestions for good registrars to migrate to?

(it's a .pw domain if that matters)

/edit. I'm a moron.

I already use cloudflare as my name server, Google/SquareSpace only handles the registration.

I'll be fine. Thanks for the help everyone!
