Seems logical for a country that has a healthcare system that profits off people being sick.. get infectious disease, end up in hospital, go broke

Yeah, my daughter broke it to me. I remember my friends (back in the day) telling me the problems they were having getting their kids off it and I hadn’t heard much since.. apparently one of my daughters friends is waiting for a catwoman skin to come back

Reevaluating my password management in c/selfhosted@lemmy.world

[–] kowcop@aussie.zone 8 points 2 months ago

I don’t really see the problem with having the password manager in the cloud if it is protected by 2FA. I tried vaultwarden (self hosted) about a year ago and the showstopper was that I couldn’t store a new password when off LAN or without first connecting the VPN. I am sure there are on demand vpn type services, but it was clunky. It would have been great it if would work locally on the phone then sync the password to the vault when it came back online

What do I actually need? in c/selfhosted@lemmy.world

[–] kowcop@aussie.zone 2 points 3 months ago

I got proxmox setup pretty easy and I am running Plex in an lxc, and docker in another. In docker, I use paperless NGx for electronic document storage

Microsoft cracking down people upgrading to Windows 11 on unsupported hardware in c/linux@lemmy.ml

[–] kowcop@aussie.zone 2 points 7 months ago

The pessimist in me feels Microsoft need people to buy the new devices with the shiny new co-pilot button more than ever.. gotta recoup the hundreds of billions sunk into OpenAI

What kind of wood and machine screws would I need to mount hardware like this? in c/homelab@lemmy.ml

[–] kowcop@aussie.zone 0 points 9 months ago

Yes but it is not moving that air at a rapid pace past the components as it drags it though the case

I think I read somewhere that this isn’t good for thermals. It would only ever stay at ambient temperature, so it wouldn’t benefit from cool air being moved through the case and past the components

The PS5 Pro’s biggest problem is that the PS5 is already very good in c/games@sh.itjust.works

Like all the people who didn’t need an iPhone 16 Pro Max because they already had an iPhone 15 Pro Max? People out there are buying millions dollar properties to stay empty. Sony wouldn’t have even created it unless there was a market for it

Tbh, most people would drop more than the price difference on clothes that they will never wear. Just look at the new car market. Hardly anyone buys the cheap model, so for a couple of hundred bucks, I don’t think anyone really cares about this. If they have the disposable income, they will probably just buy the pro because of the perception that they are buying the best.
