@Glytch ah. not in my timeline view

@sic_semper_tyrannis @flork I have a similar tiny PC. There’s a few manufacturers of similar items, some even have like 4 or 6 m2 slots to make excellent little NAS or similar.
From memory, Geekcom (Sp?). have a look on your favourite AliExpress-type mart. Intel N100 or N150 CPUs seem to the thing, but beware of the RAM limits for those if that’s a thing for you. There are some fun AMD ones out there too.

@Glytch @krooklochurm i don’t think i want to know how that conversation started

@Wren @lmmarsano I think I might use that as my email signature

@Mattr @Toasted_Breakfast They’re trying some things like lock-screen ads on some models too. Turned “off” by default (for now). But their Phone (3) isn’t getting that, if i understand correctly. Just the (a) models.

@non_burglar @Damage Are they just TOTP authentication codes you need? If so, you there’s alternatives

@WhatAmLemmy @saltesc I think the handed over Squeezebox when deciding they’d done enough squeezing?

@Wispy2891 just wanting to say, best avatar i’ve seen for a while. love it.

@MTZ @SidewaysHighways You may wish to disable all browser password managers, on all devices and use an alternate method of password management that suits your needs.
This is a cautionary tale on browser password managers (amongst other facepalms) that saw about millions of people’s personal details stolen - https://www.oaic.gov.au//_/_data/assets/pdf/_file/0037/228979/Medibank-data-breach-alleged-timeline-infographic.pdf

@Dust0741 transfer it to a VoIP number and have a VoIP app on your data-only SIM. Unless your data-only SIM provider does some blocking

@rumba Wi-Fi network, mobile network, dates, times, user profile, what’s watched, screen size, installation platform - probably a lot of the same techniques that browser fingerprinting uses

@rumba @tatterdemalion if the app/device is collecting location and sending various other data then they’ll be feeding that into their decision making

@oldmansbeard @nfreak If the device you’re playing them on can run www.last.fm app then that would give you that kind of insight to the data it uploads on your listening habits

@Lodespawn @mesamunefire :honk: :goose_honk:

@SkaveRat @brygphilomena Do you keep it in a bag like me so I can one day commission a knitted cardigan?

@XeroxCool @Entitle9294 I often read of people claiming to have broken many ports and/or cables. I can’t understand how they do it.

@Profligate_parasite @thejml #PiHole sits in your network replacing your existing DNS server you may have configured. By using a specified blocklist(s) it’s mostly used to block adverts and malware sites. Can be very effectives. Can take a little tinkering, for example one side-effect for me was it blocking a local TV streaming app.
To start with I put one on a free cloud provider, with a VPN from my router to it and played with it until I was happy.

@OhVenus_Baby @drmoose depends if you’re doing 88 at the time

@Scorchx @WeirdGoesPro Their stupid admins permabanned me too. Same day, same reason as the erroneous automated ban. Apparently I was using a duplicate account to evade an earlier temporary ban.
Can’t appeal the appeal, so that’s that. #Reddit is a vile place anyway so no great loss.

@Nollij @Toralv ahhh #Smoothwall… takes me back to dual Slot 2 Pentium 2 full tower in my cellar next to the old coal chute
