- Comment on Has ethernet become illegitimate? A librarian flipped out after spotting me using ethernet 7 months ago:
Yeah, I agree that’s the easiest path to take in properly securing it.
- Comment on Has ethernet become illegitimate? A librarian flipped out after spotting me using ethernet 7 months ago:
Oh I’ve got nothing against how the librarians handled it. I’m more concerned that their IT staff failed to properly shield the library from liabilities like OP.
- Comment on Has ethernet become illegitimate? A librarian flipped out after spotting me using ethernet 7 months ago:
Yeah, this argument is bullshit once you actually know what you’re talking about instead of following some cult videos that teach you to repeat them.
- Comment on Has ethernet become illegitimate? A librarian flipped out after spotting me using ethernet 7 months ago:
I have to admit, I never thought of this as a way to bypass the captive portal (sorta just assumed everyone going through the public network would have to hit it, kinda of the equivalent to having everyone sign a liability waiver).
That’s because if that library’s network was properly configured it would work exactly like your expectation.
- Comment on Has ethernet become illegitimate? A librarian flipped out after spotting me using ethernet 7 months ago:
Yeah, having services blocked on Wi-Fi and not ethernet just tells me that their IT staff didn’t properly configure the network in public areas properly. That ethernet port should have been disabled, physically locked, or properly configured to use the public network like the Wi-Fi does.
- Comment on Has ethernet become illegitimate? A librarian flipped out after spotting me using ethernet 7 months ago:
I plugged into ethernet (as wifi w/captive portal does not work for me). I think clearnet worked but I have no interest in that. Egress Tor traffic was blocked and so was VPN. I’m not interested in editing all my scripts and configs to use clearnet, so the library’s internet is useless to me (unless I bother to try a tor bridge).
Yeah… Trying to bypass their security by using ethernet instead of Wi-Fi to use your own stuff that’s being blocked is tantamount to abusing the library’s services. Someone should let the IT staff know so they can properly block those services on ethernet as well.
- Comment on New poll reveals crucial battleground state prefers Trump over Biden in heated 2024 rematch 8 months ago:
Those are all the big achievements for Trump’s presidency. Is he progressive now to you?
- Comment on Google Play Store listing apps installed from F-Droid that it cannot update 8 months ago:
Samsung store does that too. It’s quite annoying
- Comment on Not buying a shaver from Philips again.. 8 months ago:
Makes 0 difference. The charging circuit is in charge of that logic and will accept whatever voltage is supplied and step it down to what the battery needs.
- Comment on Yeah UPS, that's proof 8 months ago:
They all do it now (except USPS?)
- Comment on Anon is out of ideas 11 months ago:
Single family cruise costs as much as everything OP purchased put together.
- Comment on Anon is out of ideas 11 months ago:
Vacations, where every trip costs like a mid range gaming pc.
- Comment on Tesla removes Disney+ after cursing out Disney CEO: why automakers removing carplay matters 11 months ago:
Anyone remembers the spats between Google and Amazon that resulted in the YouTube app being removed from Amazon Fire sticks temporarily?
- Comment on Biden ditches trade deal talks with Britain 11 months ago:
When they say American workers, they mean ones that own the factories and offices, not the actual workers in them.
- Comment on Through the Voice and Eyes of Hamas 1 year ago:
See people, this is the problem with the education system in Gaza and why we can’t just have peace. Too much brainwashing that’s just focused on “kill the Jews” is being taught there. For any kind of peace to be achieved, we need to start by removing all the radicalized education from the schools first.
- Comment on Through the Voice and Eyes of Hamas 1 year ago:
AJ is one of the most biast news sources against Israel on the planet. You open AJ and you see lies.
- Comment on What To Do When Your Tesla Battery Fails and You Can’t Afford To Fix it [19:11 | Nov 19 2023 | Rich Rebuilds] 1 year ago:
I was making a cyberpunk 2077 reference, but most people seem to have missed it.
- Comment on What To Do When Your Tesla Battery Fails and You Can’t Afford To Fix it [19:11 | Nov 19 2023 | Rich Rebuilds] 1 year ago:
That’s until the AI goes rogue and starts killing people. Then you have to go on a mission to retrieve all the rogue vehicles.
- Comment on Met police chief defies calls to ban pro-Palestine Armistice Day march in London 1 year ago:
Most likely not.
- Comment on What makes a bicycle so expensive? 1 year ago:
In PC gaming, you can get a GPU for that $1500. You can also get a high end custom water cooling setup. Just the water cooling components.
- Comment on Companies lower salaries in job postings as pay transparency laws take effect 1 year ago:
Maybe they did fat finger it, but they didn’t care because they weren’t being paid enough?
- Comment on ‘Cyberpunk 2077’ Used AI For A Dead Voice Actor’s Performance, With Permission 1 year ago:
Make a will.
- Comment on Designs chosen for mini nuclear reactors 1 year ago:
Spoken like someone who truly knows nothing about nuclear power or really any kind of power generation.
- Comment on US Senate’s email system melts down in face of security test and reply-all chaos 1 year ago:
None of these people replying all to the email thought for a second how broadcasting your location to the entire email list might be a bad idea in an emergency situation?
- Comment on PlayStation 5- how sre the visuals so good and games run so well on a machine with the equivalent of a GTX 2060? 1 year ago:
It’s a little easier when the machine is dedicated to that and only that. The OS doesn’t have all this extra crap running in the background that takes resources from the game because it was designed for that in mind.
At best you’re looking at a 10% performance penalty, closer to the 1-3% range without known bad background software.
- Comment on My entire Lemmy feed is 1 single user (bot?) reposting the same link across communities 1 year ago:
Why on earth isn’t that the default?
Because it’s a reddit app retrofitted to work for lemmy, and because some people want to click anywhere on a post and be brought to it instead of a user’s profile or the community it was posted in.
- Comment on My entire Lemmy feed is 1 single user (bot?) reposting the same link across communities 1 year ago:
3 dot menu on the post, then click on the user in the menu. That will take you to their profile so you can block them. Also, I believe clicking on the user/community name is a toggleable option in sync.
- Comment on Trying is for losers. 1 year ago:
That’s the “I’m late for something” or “I don’t give a shit” parking job if they came in from the wrong direction.
- Comment on The recent criticism of Linus Tech Tips, explained 1 year ago:
Better use a teleprompter than have them spend an additional $500 to reshoot it.
- Comment on higher wages for the servers... by the customers. Fnbs 1 year ago:
Reading the article, I’m not feeling too encouraged that this will actually impact small restaurants. From the article it sounds like the FTC is just going after large corporations.
