What is your favorite Halloween older game? in c/[email protected]

I don't like horror games but Viscera Cleanup Detail I can accapt.

The only horror elements are the aftermath of a big and bloody gun fight and you're tasked to clean up the mess. ;p

If you're curious about the company Clearview AI, check out the book "Your face belongs to us" by Kashmir Hill. It's an interesting read.

Yes. My Zenfone 8 is "small" but I want it even more compact. My old Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact is the perfect size!

What Podcasts do you listen to? in c/[email protected]
[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 months ago

Another big fan of Darknet Diaries.

Ever since Michael Bazzle of Privacy, Security & OSINT stopped doing the podcasts, I'm still trying to find a replacement. Am listening to The Lockdown - Practical Privacy and Security in the mean time.

Also listen to Linux Game Cast.

I have it on my Asus Zenfone 8 too. Sad to tink that my next phone upgrade will likely not have the 3.5mm port anymore. :(

Legality of removing sim cards from cars in Australia in c/[email protected]

Good point but people have been driving to and from the outback long before the arrival of the connected car. Except the car, nothing else has changed much and it's still possible to drive around with a "basic" car. Besides, there's always the mobile phone if connectivity is required.

Consider the possibility that they are selling the data collected from you for a profit and using part of those profits to pay for the cellular service.

If Apple had kept the 3.5mm port, we'd all probably still be having it on our phones and not have to deal with flimsy adapters.

Using curlftpfs with jellyfin to access media stored on old NAS? (aussie.zone)
 

Hi all. Very new potential jellyfin user trying to set things up.

I have one of those mini fanless mini PC boxes with Proxmox and pfsense installed. Jellyfin has been installed as a lxc via one of the helper scripts. Set it up and it works fine.

I'm now trying to set it up to access an old Netgear ReadyNAS NV+ that I have lying around. It's been setup with SMB/CIFS as well as FTP access. I'm considering disabling SMB/CIFS access since I think I don't need that anymore. I think the NAS only supports TLS 1.2 protocol and it's probably safer to disable it security wise. After searching around, I've come across curlftpfs which seems to be able to mount a ftp server as a local directly which i can then use as a library for jellyfin.

Is this the best way or is there a better alternative I can consider?

Thanks.

Noticed a strange occurrence where my monitor buttons will not react to presses when certain conditions are met (aussie.zone)
 

I have an Acer XV340CKP monitor connected via Display Port to my GPU. I also have a old LG W2253TQ that I use as a secondary display. It only has a DVI and VGA port. I have a DVI-DVI cable together with a DVI-Display Port converter to connect to my GPU, which is an Asus RX6900XT. I am running Nobara 38.

I have observed that if I were to have my Acer monitor powered when I switch on my desktop, all the monitor buttons do not respond. None of the menu buttons, not even the power button responds. When I switch off the desktop, the monitor stays on. The only way to power it down is to unplug the power cable.

However, if I were to only have the LG monitor powered when I switch on my desktop, all the buttons on the Acer monitor works.

I believe everything was working previously in Nobara 37. I think this issue probably started happening in the recent month or two.

Is this even possible, where the graphics card sends a malformed signal to the monitor and prevents the buttons from working?

Whoever does the packing in-game isn't being very efficient (aussie.zone)
 

Yes, it's part of the gameplay mechanics but sometimes it pays to take the time to load the cargo yourself. :p

(In case it is not immediately clear, the very last cargo on the International Paystar 5600TS is packed. The 3 pieces of cargo closer to the cab is not, thus enabling carrying 4 pieces of cargo in a 3 slot bed)
