Port Forwarding Alternative?
  • Not what you're asking but since it's been covered well:

    Buy your own cable modem and put your own firewall behind it. Not only will this save you money in the long run, you'll also have no issues with things like port forwarding. I use Comcast/Xfinity with a docsis3.1 cable modem + a decent firewall and it's a good way to go.

  • Why Not Store Encrypted Emails in Plaintext Locally?
  • I've been trying to move away from email as a document server.

    Anything that's important / I might want to reference later gets exported to a secure paperless-ngx instance where it's neatly categorized and easily searched. I then delete it from my inbox.

  • I love the listicles feature. Not because I want to actually look at those results but because they're all stripped out of the main search. Doing product research is so much better without all those low-quality "top whatever 2023" lists that take up the first 3 pages of google lol

  • There are a lot of options: Bitcoin & Bitcoin lightning via opennode + Paypal, Venmo, iDeal, giropay, & stripe.

    Personally I converted some XMR to BTC then paid with that (using a single-use wallet)

  • Proton services discussion
  • By default just did a video (piped link) on this and I 100% agree with him. The killer feature is simplelogin. Being able to use a different alias email for every single account I use is absolutely amazing.

  • what are you all doing for secure DMS?

    What the title says. I was looking into paperless-ngx but it seems to offer no built-in security. I'd ideally want some kind of encryption and if i enable remote access have some control over sensitive documents

    Btw, I'm..
  • I don't volunteer either piece of information, but sooner or later someone is going to overhear me ordering vegan food or see me opening my lunch and the dreaded conversation will have to happen. I wish people would just let me make my own food choices in private without making a big thing about it.

  • What volume level do you usually listen to music at?
  • Came here say this. Absolutely agree. Being able to reduce background noise is huge.

    As a side point - having a car that's quiet has really allowed me to enjoy music at a much more reasonable level when driving as well.

  • The prevalence of touchscreens has probably resulted in a decrease in average fingernail length

    I feel like I used to see a lot of women with super long nails struggling to use their touchscreen phones. I'm sure at least some of them have chosen slightly shorter nails to make it easier.

    Dedicated NAS or Nextcloud server for home lab?

    I'm looking for suggestions. I have a rack in my office with up to 4U space available. I'm looking to set up a backup and storage solution to try and break free from services such as dropbox & google drive. I'd also love to run a few other things like homeassistant and potentially even Klipper for my 3d printer. I'd also like it to be reasonably quiet if possible.

    So what would you recommend? I could get something like a dell poweredge and add HDDs + replace the fans with noctua to keep the noise down or go with a dedicated NAS like synology. Any other recommendations?

    YSK: name-based jokes are the lowest form of comedy

    Why YSK: it doesn't matter how original you might think you are, they have heard them before. Numerous times in fact. If you're in the habit of making name-based jokes as soon as you meet someone you should stop. At best you're mildly annoying the person, at worst you're preventing what could have been a great friendship before it even begins.

    Sincerely: someone named Jesse. (And yes - I know you wish you had my girl, also .. Springsteen, really?)

    What's your favorite alternate launcher?

    Just got a new work phone: Galaxy S22. Wanted a pixel but it was out of stock in our internal allocation. Already tired of samsung's UI and interested in something new.

    So what do you like? Bonus points if it works with android enterprise's profile mode dual app drawers.

    Designed & printed a working gear pump (edit: added video & more info)

    Just a quick hobby + learning project. If people are interested I am happy to post more pics. PLA exterior + TPU seals + Nylon (COPA) bushings.

    Everything is 3d printed except the hardware & motor. The hose adapters have 1/4 NPT ends on them. NPT has a tapered thread so I found that I could screw them in partway by hand then heat them up slightly with a soldering iron to soften the PLA then screw them in the rest of the way. Makes a nice watertight seal despite the roughness of the 3d printed threads. If they start leaking I can unscrew them (leaving behind threads perfectly molded to the fittings) then add some pip seal tape and put them back in.

    What do you guys think?

    EDIT: here's a photo of the parts separate !exploded_view
