Just came up with my father again.
He blames me that mother forgot her phone's and Google password because I recommended against it being a word.
I mentioned encryption, "not necessary unless you're doing something illegal".
When mentioning lack of privacy with targeted advertisements, he said that he actually really likes them, because he bought a couple of things he wanted for years.

I don't really have good arguments.

Domain names seem expensive in comparison. The cheaper VPS that I use for playing around is just $10.29/year.
I thought I'd get a domain name from RackNerd as well, but they're $24.95/year + I think $4.99 for privacy.

I've checked Namecheap, and that seemed great, until I found that renewal prices are often through the roof.

I don't really care about it being nice. For now, mostly I just want to use the VPS as image host for Lemmy, since Imgur and Catbox are both a bit problematic.
And without a domain name, the images only show as link posts in the default LemmyUI (though it seems to work elsewhere). Plus it makes migration impossible.

Yeah, they overlap since I did whole hour (120 30-second codes). I didn't know specific time, so it's 2 pages, 3 hours, 42 minutes and 30 seconds.

People often find it odd when I say I don't play PC games, but it seems rather complicated (and also expensive) to me.

I mean, I enjoyed it back when I had friends with PS, but I never had to set up anything myself. Searching around it seems rather... overwhelming, and I don't know if it's actually the case.

1. PC seems most versatile, and with the prices, I considered piracy, but I would need a separate computer for security. Hell, I wouldn't even trust the device firmware on it afterwards.
2. So I considered maybe paying the amounts, but I went to check some games and lo and behold, kernel-level anti-cheat. Great, so pirated games might even have less malware in the end.
3. Since I'd need a separate device anyway, how about getting a PlayStation. With a disc drive, I want to be able to go future proof and fully offline. Well, about that... apparently it needs to verify the disc drive online. For what? It's a BluRay drive, either it works or it doesn't. And then I heard another shitty thing, "most games are released almost unplayable and need updates right away". So they just release Alpha quality software on the most permanent medium???

So that just sounds like shitty experience no matter what. How is it actually? I'd expect consoles to be least buggy and fully future proof.
The only thing I ever had was a $4 NES bootleg console from AliExpress, Contra was glitched out and Battletank unplayable because they forgot the select button, but ok, $4.

And it always causes issues.

Anyway, I hope the main joke got spotted too.
Let's Encrypt now does IP certs: https://letsencrypt.org/2026/01/15/6day-and-ip-general-availability

Certbot doesn't seem to be up to the task yet, but lego works.

But I'll probably change it to some image host later, because I have no idea what I am doing.

Why does it not work... It embeds when creating the post.

Seems fine too, it's HTTPS after all, should work.

OK, seems that it's just the default LemmyUI that doesn't like it, which is strange for the number of pict-rs requests in access.log.
Also by the number of 429, 5r/s is probably too low. Was. Anyway...
OR, that's why there is the burst option. Right.

According to the prosecution, Glukhikh searched for pictures of Azov insignia on Google while he was on the bus on the morning of 24 September, though how the security forces had been made aware of the search was not disclosed.

The case materials include an image of Glukhikh’s phone lying on the table, clearly displaying the search query he is accused of making.

Bruh...

Seen on Cisco Catalyst 3560G during pirated software update (just for playing around, not production use).
The checksums were verified against Cisco download center.

Sorry for the Imgur link, catbox wasn't loading as image, just as a link again: https://files.catbox.moe/j3a7cl.PNG

Approximately EUR 8 including shipping. Still sealed (probably - if not re-sealed).
There's definitely some more stuff in the box like a manual and driver disc that I can hear moving around. After all, the boxes are fairly large compared to what you'd get today.

I'd want to unpack them... but I also don't because they survived so long. I don't know. Maybe if I'll get yet another one...

Here's a look at the entire box:

Specs:
Bluetooth 1.2 Class 1
USB 1.1

Minimum requirements:
300MHz CPU
128MB RAM
Windows 98SE

So what about the Class 1?
Typically the devices you use are Class 2 with Tx power of up to 2.5mW and range of around 10m.
Class 1 can go up to 100mW with range of around 100m. Assuming both ends are same class. Otherwise you're just causing more interference on 2.4GHz.

It also has an external antenna giving it some cool factor.
