I would do option A, but instead of just not using the free internet, I would use it for everything else not needing server services. So like streaming or general browsing.

Just leaving the Google fiber as a dedicated pipe for all my self hosted services

You can do this kind of split with pfSense easily

A simple scan is fine, but to actually image a dying drive for recovery purposes, you should absolutely be doing a direct connection

Yet another Linux phone with subpar specs. That processor is quite underwhelming even compared to Google’s Tensor G1, a proc that many regard as crap as is and it beats this Dimensity 900 handily.

I’m going through it rn for Proxmox, it’s a pain in the ass.

I think it was better a tad on ESXi, but VMware stuff is a non starter for me at this point.

Wait, is that a real connector/jack and not photoshopped to be comically elongated?

Yup, same, I would love to switch to a Linux/FOSS phone, but it’s all crap specs. Like this librem 5 phone. 3GB RAM and 32GB storage‽ LMAO what year is it, 2014‽

For now I’m pretty much just stuck on Pixel, one of the few remaining brands that reliably (surprisingly) let you unlock the BL. It’s even worse now since I’ve had a taste of the foldy phone and I don’t think I want to go back and that’ll probably take 15 years before ever coming to a Linux/FOSS phone, considering where they’re at now.

They’ve missed the boat entirely for me and I’m doubtful they’ll ever catch up :/

Bruh, wdym “has become”? MS was wild in the 90s.

Meh it’s a meg, not like it’s the good ol dial up days where you’d sit there and have to wait for a few hundred KBs of a pic to load line by line LMAO

This incident will be reported

Not only that, depending on where this vending machine is, it could be nothing more than a leased spot with the actual machine, inventory, and access keys owned by an off site company.

While the sign could be the best that employees of whatever store could do

SSDs were properly destroyed

I hate when companies do this, SSDs do not need to be shredded, there’s no security benefit whatsoever. You don’t even need to do the whole “write 0s/random data X times” like with HDDs. So damn wasteful ugh.

Idk, the “Hoary netherworld” sounds kinda fun

Team Rocket:

“We’re bad guys, but we’re not bad guys”

Animorphs.

I feel like it was just a few months ago someone else was asking this very similar thing, including wanting to handle payment processing themselves as well.

Seriously OP, do not do payment processing on your own unless you already have experience with going through PCI compliance. And if you did, you would already have made the decision to off load it to an actual payment processer lmao

Don’t be a hero, offload payment processing to a third-party.

“A hole is a hole”

I can confirm this, I have been backing up and restoring my messages in their entirety to every new phone since my very first Android phone (so about 15 years of messages), so all my relationships have complete texting records and I’ve seen that almost exact pattern

Sidenote, the Google Messages app seems to handle an almost 6 GB mmssms.db file with grace lmao

I mean if you need 14TBs or something you don’t really have an alternative unless you’re rich, but yea what a terrible AI recommending <2TB spinny drives lmao

Fr, absolutely pointless getting a 1TB slow spinny drive when you can get 1TB as a nice NVMe SSD for not too terribly more lmao

Cybersecurity communities too, there was one guy on [The Other Site] I saw awhile back who, whenever somebody asked a question about what they should do to secure X or Y or if Z security product was better than V because they just did general IT, would always default to something along the lines of “If you don’t know, don’t bother its above you and you should shell out $$$ to an actual firm otherwise you’ll be shelling out $$$$ to another firm to clean up your mess”

Surprise surprise, when I googled his username (The fact I was even able to do this isnt a great sign for a “security professional” IMO lmao) he actually owned one of those “Databreach Triage” firms…yea…I’m sure there was no conflict of interest whatsoever lmaoo
