which dynamic dns hoster?
  • Namecheap + the dynamic DNS client in pfSense. No issues sinve I set it up years ago.

    Before that it was a cron job that updated through the google domains api.

    Self hosted web app to track and rate your watched movies
  • I recently set up and started using MediaTracker for this purpose. It's kind of barebones, but functional. Seems like its biggest difference with movary is that it also covers TV, ebooks, audiobooks, and games.

    I have a little section for movies and books on my website and i've been working on a script to automatically pull those lists and reviews from MediaTrackers api each time I build my site.

    How does ransomware get into major networks, such as schools or other large public agencies?
  • It is a great step but it's rare to have enough buy in from upper managent to enforce any real consequences for repeat offenders. I've seen good initial results from this kind of phishing testing, but the repeat offenders never seem to change their habits and your click rate quickly plateaus.

    I still think about this giant puffball my boyfriend found 5 years ago
  • Oh thanks, saved. Will break this image out next time it happens, though I usually end up dying from getting into desperate situations looking for antifungals before it gets to this point.

  • Curation is my answer. Return to the old ways of curating your own lists of resources and sharing them with other people. Web rings, blog rolls, link sharing, RSS

    What's up with all this data breaches and leaks?
  • As someone in the thick of it, it has been a nervewracking quarter for mortgage company IT and Infosec teams. There have been several very high profile breaches the last few months.

    What book(s) are you currently reading or listening? 01 December
  • Oh I highly recommend it. As a kid I read a lot of his work and my favorites were the Cask of Amontillado and The Tell-tale Heart. I still love those ones but I feel like I can appreciate the poetry and other stories now.

    Another series I've gotten a lot of mileage out of revisiting was Calvin and Hobbes funny enough.

    Second SpaceX Starship launch ends with explosion. What happens next?
  • The shuttle SRB's were really only reusable in the same sense that the engine from a wrecked car can be removed, stripped to a bare block, bored out, rebuilt, and placed into a new car is reusable. Hard to say exactly how long it took to turn around SRB segments, but just the rail transport between Utah and Florida was 12 days each way. SpaceX has turned around Falcon 9 boosters in under a month.

    And even with all of that, the most reused reusable segments barely flew a dozen times. There is one Falcon 9 first stage that has now flown 18 times.

    You're not wrong about parts having been reused in the past but the scale of what has been done before really doesn't compare to what SpaceX does now.

    *Permanently Deleted*
  • Three things for me. One, I have no practical way of charging one at home. Two, they're mostly outside my price range. Three, I have doubts about maintainability of the used ones in my price range.

    I've owned 3 cars in the last six years, two of which I still have. All have been between 9 and 26 years old and cost between $2300 and $7000. Last time I looked around my area, there were only a few electric cars in that price range mostly 2012-2014ish Leafs and electric Focuses. I know the battery packs degrade over time and suspect the range at that age from that era of EV's would be impractical for me. Replacement packs are expensive and if I factor them into the purchase cost it's pushing all of them over $10,000.

    Maybe in a few years when my living situation has changed and better EV's are available in that price range?
