I run Opnsense on a Proxmox VM (I followed this guide). I’m quite pleased with it. Opnsense is probably going to be more secure than any consumer router firmware, but you’re going to have to make a bigger upfront investment in hardware. I had never used Opnsense prior to using this system, and the fact that I’m running it on Proxmox is a huge benefit. If I’m ever about to do anything I’m unsure of, I can snapshot the VM in Proxmox. If my router config breaks as a result of my tinkering, I can easily restore from the snapshot.

The pfsense devs has acted like jackasses towards the opnsense gang.

And toward their users. Ask the wrong question on the pfSense subreddit or forum and expect to get lit up. The Opnsense community is much more helpful and inviting in my experience.

Pretty killer specs on paper. In my experience, these AliExpress boards have a bunch of minor annoyances that add up. Examples of those annoyances from my experience include:

• a complete lack of support after the sale (you’ll never get a BIOS update, or if you do, you have to get it from some dodgy Chinese Dropbox-equivalent),
• a lack of 4-pin chassis fan headers,
• outdated SATA controllers that don’t let your computer reach higher C-states, and
• non-standard CPU coolers that you’ll never be able to replace if they fail.

I initially read that headline as “Butt Health Features in Trouble.”

I’ve been watching Ze Frank for too long.

It’s good to see the free market actually working

Everyone here seems pretty negative on this news. Any particular reason?

You’re right, it does. This is a head-scratcher.

I guess they already had the TOTP code written, so creating a standalone app was trivial, but what’s the point?

Hard core idiot?

The quotes in this article were some of the weirdest fucking things I’ve ever read. Is there something in the water in SF?

To be fair, KTTH is barely news.

Well shit, I just paid for a full year of Mozilla Monitor a couple weeks ago.

Does anyone have recommendations for other info removal services?

EDIT: If anyone else is a paid Mozilla Monitor customer, I encourage you to send Mozilla feedback about this partnership: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/new/mozilla-account/form

EDIT 2: Mozilla’s response to my message: “We did assess OneRep’s data removal service to confirm it acts according to privacy principles that we advocate at Mozilla. We were aware of the past affiliations with the entities named in the article and were assured they had ended prior to our work together. We’re now looking into this further.”

It seems like Mozilla should have had access to more information during their due diligence process than Krebs would have had as a third party. This is very concerning.

I would love to see a trillion humans living in the solar system. If we had a trillion humans, we would have, at any given time, 1,000 Mozarts and 1,000 Einsteins.

So if one in a billion people are an Einstein or Mozart, does that mean there are 8 Mozarts and 8 Einsteins alive in the world right now? I wonder who would make the list?

Google has been doing this kind of thing for a while. If you try to use Google Meet in Firefox, you can’t use things like background blurring. Spoofing Chrome works in that situation as well.

I don’t disagree with you. But there’s also a flip side. Nazis and other bigots wouldn’t be so open in their bigotry, which could lead to them recruiting fewer people to their cause. Also, state actors such as Russia and China wouldn’t be able to sow mis- and disinformation so readily.

For the record, I believe Nikki’s plan is dumb and will never, ever happen. I’m just using my imagination to see some potential for benefits.

Unpopular opinion: internet discourse would be slightly more civil if people’s real names were attached to their Internet Hot Takes.

But yeah, have fun enforcing that, Nikki.

My Prime subscription is due to renew in the next few months, and I’m going to let it lapse. It’s getting hard to find genuine, trustworthy products on Amazon. If I wanted no-name crap drop-shipped from China, I could probably get it on Alibaba cheaper. For everything else, I’ll buy locally when possible, and buy from the manufacturer otherwise.

Yep, that’s a great point.

Add to that the fact that mainstream social media companies wouldn’t touch DDoS and CSAM attacks with a 100-foot pole, even if they contracted with a third party. Both of these attacks are highly illegal and would surely ruin a publicly traded company (or one that’s trying to go public, like Reddit).

And don’t forget Russia in your list of state actors who are threatened by the unrestricted flow of information. They definitely don’t want their citizenry to be informed of how disastrously their invasion of Ukraine is going, or what a murderous scumbag Putin is.

Someone is trying really hard to hurt Lemmy by continually attacking the most popular instance. Is this all coming from right-wingers upset that their nazi instances were defederated across basically the whole fediverse?

I definitely don’t need the SATA ports. I have a vision of putting this board in a 1u chassis. I’m sure AliExpress also has a 1u version of this hardware…
