@SLVRDRGN @TokenEffort I feel the same when handed an iThing these days. I don't think it helps that the ones I'm handed have had everything on them moved around and whatnot by children.

@IrateAnteater @yesman if they do the "show secret" or whatever the option is called when your 2FA setup shows a QR code then you can copy that plain-text and save it somewhere (safe!) to just plumb it in to whatever authenticator app you decide to use elsewhere.
If you use something like BitWarden then it can generate those 2FA codes for you and sync between whichever devices you use.

@stetech Thanks for the nudge. This is the one https://timsh.org/tracking-myself-down-through-in-app-ads/

@ConfusedEmus @rtxn Figuring out DNS is always fun.
And never ever ever make any, even small, DNS change on a Friday. Unless you don't like weekends.
Is it time to break out the DNS haiku and pray to the name gods?

![It's the DNS haiku. Not my work. Is very widely circulated on the internet and I've no idea who to attribute the original to. Anyway, it's a watercolour(?) painting of a branch with pink blossom flowers. Show in the top left corner is the following calligraphic text:

It's not DNS There's no way it's DNS It was DNS

It appears to be isned "SSBroski"

Anyway, as someone who's had days taken off their life by broken DNS I like this image.](https://o.mastodon.au/media_attachments/files/114/107/965/106/956/466/original/d05aeed43a3c9b71.webp)

@stetech @Xraygoggles there was a good article i read a couple of weeks ago about a guy who fired up a factory reset iPhone, opted out of all the crap but logged all connections it made (on his router). remind me tomorrow and i'll try and dig it out. i reckon you'd like it

@Nevermore9197 @sunzu2 back to #IRC

@ParetoOptimalDev @ivanafterall i did read that #simplex wasn't as reliable as some alternatives. happy to be told that's garbage though

@stetech @Xraygoggles yes if you're able to either configure your router to tell tge tv to use it (DHCP), or you can set your TV's network settings directly. adguard probably have guides on how to do it

@Gorgritchumiekilla What's the ROI on batteries these days? When I've done the maths in the past it just wasn't worth it. A 10 year loan sounds like you'd just finish paying for it when it needs replacement?

@Gorgritchumiekilla Yeah, when were you thinking?

@missdemeanour @SemiHemiDemigod Now you'll have an open bottle of port in your cabinet for 10 years until you fancy another glass or a recipe calls for it

@muntedcrocodile @crony I used to run Exchange and have had various others for my 2 person house. Sometimes overkill. These days I don't think I'd bother running mail at home, even on reliable hardware, a decent connection and with a static IP. Hassles with getting on/off blacklists even with all DKIM, SPF etc being in place are things I don't want to deal with these days.
My incoming mails are a couple of bank notifications, monitoring alerts and notes from schools and sports clubs. A lot of system admin for not much actual use.
I might revisit it once the winter evenings come in.

@Geobloke @glinncor make the beer 5 litres?

@echodot @Redex68 off top of my head, script generation. making content more readable. dictating a brain dump while walking and having it spit out a cohesive summary.

it's all about the prompt you put in. shit in/shit out. And making sure you check/understand what it spits out. and that sometimes it's garbage.

@django @ThePrimitive I once got a similar "you've opted out of company support" for ordering and installing additional RAM in my laptop from my department budget.
I lol'd in 8GB

@Tangent5280 @spongeborgcubepants I think the days of worrying about SSDs failing like that during its expected lifespan are over for all practical applications.

@DragonsInARoom @cantstopthesignal it's their time

@MrMobius @hanke depends what you're doing. A Raspberry Pi can be surprisingly powerful. Can run NAS, websites, proxies, things like NextCloud, PiHole.
Cheaper than paying someone for hosting a small server? Maybe. But there's pros and cons of both.
