Between season 18 and 19 was when the movie came out it IMDb’s dates are correct.

An Apple TV actually fits this use case pretty well. Being Apple most providers will have native apps available for the device (they definitely have Netflix, Prime Video and Disney+), it comes with a remote but supports using other infrared remotes (you can train it to recognise specific buttons so doesn’t matter what remote you use), and you can also control it from your phone (it works natively for iOS but there are Android apps that can do it too).

For casting, if you use Apple devices it’s easy with AirPlay. If you use Android devices there are apps you can get that support Chromecast, however haven’t ever used them personally so can’t comment on their effectiveness.

And to date Apple haven’t put ads into the tvOS interface. It’s basically a grid of apps and you just open the one you want to watch. It’s been our primary TV device for years now, and is simple enough to use that even my 60 something tech adverse mum likes using it.

For most of my internal services that are sitting behind Traefik I use step-ca which basically gives you a Let’s Encrypt style certificate while working over the local network. The root CA has a long expiry (so might not be what you want if your goal Is a short lived root CA) but the actual certificates for each service are short lived (a touch over 24 hours from memory?)

We had a system at work that generated 4 character alphanumeric reference numbers. Originally to avoid this they just excluded vowels from the letters but eventually they grew enough they ran out of available reference numbers so they added the vowels back in and I had to built the blacklist to avoid stuff like this happening. I reckon I probably tripped every IT filter known to man in a week long period looking for swear words in a variety of languages 😂

The part where people share asterisks when they talk about their passwords? Just seems like good security honestly 😂 Glad Lemmy is keeping up with this pinnacle of security best practices.

Be the change you want to see in the world! Spank, and be spanked in return.

I created an SMS to Email gateway back in 2011 when data was still expensive on phones and I was trying to see if I could turn an iPod Touch into an iPhone. (I was a poor student at the time, was trying to find ways to save money 😅)

Basically I had a 3G modem plugged into a Linux server that could receive the messages, a prepaid SIM card with a long life credit expiry, a domain name set up with unknown email address capturing, and some tools to handle the actual SMS part.

At the time I published the scripts I used online and apparently they’re still online 😅 This is on Whirlpool which is an Australian telecommunications forum.

That good advice, thank you, will definitely give that a shot!

I have Ventoy on a USB stick, tried to use it recently for DBAN and it didn’t work, is there any way to get around that these days? Haven’t looked into it recently.

The last time France used it was in 1977, so while it might have started a while back they only stopped using it less than 50 years ago.

Halocene. They got noticed for their covers of a variety of songs but they’ve also got their own music as well. Here’s a couple of my favourites.

Hold Me Help Me

Maleficent

Devil Inside Me

They’re currently touring as well through Europe and back around the US later this year.

What’s even wilder is if you look at the code of that package, all it does is include the is-odd package and then return !is-odd. And the is-odd package isn’t much better, it does some basic checks on the input and then returns n % 2 === 1.

This trips you up so many times if you visit the US from somewhere else. The number of times I’d see a snack listed for 99c, have a dollar bill on me and then they ask for like $1.12 is higher than I’d like to admit.

I could have sworn rule 34 was something else.

I use ocserv to provide a Cisco AnyConnect compatible VPN server. There’s an SSL proxy running on port 443 of my gateway so the VPN is only accessible using the right domain name, and the server is running in a Docker container.

Main reason I go for ocserv over OpenVPN or Wireguard is when I used to travel to China for work I found it was able to get past the Chinese firewalls. No idea if it still holds true but a few years ago it was fine.

Tomorrow’s headline, “Millenials are single handedly killing the breakfast industry”.

Or anyone who has to work with Americans. Especially when you also work with other countries as well. You can’t assume dd/mm/yyyy or mm/dd/yyyy blindly in either case. yyyy-mm-dd solves the issue entirely because both sides at least agree that yyyy-dd-mm isn’t a thing.

I can only assume this was the registration form for that Mr Beast video where he had 100 people in a room with one person of each age from 1 to 100.
