user224 , 2 days ago to Selfhosted in I got an old Cisco AP and I looked inside!

By the way, with some not so ancient devices you can search for the firmware here: https://software.cisco.com/download/home and at least get MD5 and SHA-512 hashes to verify the files you downloaded.

Not the case with this AP though.

Edit: Oh, I almost forgot. Also the exact filename. Makes it easy finding it online.

I've got Washington, DC.

A lot of websites do not know what wiki is supposed to be.

One Czech search engine has a wiki page which is actually just a list of repeatedly searched things, and it does include a lot of wild stuff.

user224 , 5 days ago to Linux in Are offline updates going to be the future?

It does sound like a good idea.

Mid-update you can end up with broken dependencies and thus not fully working system. There may also be a problem with how programs update their config files.
This is especially true with big updates which is why Arch and Manjaro recommended to update from plain TTY during the Plasma 6 upgrade. Reboot, do not login, switch to TTY, stop the graphical login manager, just then proceed with upgrade.
A bit too much to ask for from regular users. Especially since it relies on them reading update announcements before each update.

Personally, I always close most stuff during updates. I even had terminal emulator itself die during update on Linux Mint.

There's one LED advertisement board in my area that I see pretty often. Nowdays I'd say it shows something it's not supposed to more often than an advertisement.

Previously I've seen BSOD on it a couple of times, but recently a lot. Also "Finish setting up this device" and part of the desktop showing Windows 11 wallpaper.
My guess is someone upgraded it from Windows 10 to 11, and now it works even less.

Surprised?

Google mail is extremely unlikely to get shut down.

But anyway, Proton Mail allows importing e-mails from Google.

They just pull out of those states. How is that an attack?

user224 , 10 days ago to Ask Lemmy in People who still wear masks (and aren't immunocompromised)...

I don't for quite a while anymore, but I did longer than most others. I had to stop because people were laughing at me at that point as I was basically the only one.

I simply felt more comfortable with it. It felt good to have a large portion of my face covered, people not seeing all of my face, most of my face expression. I didn't have to worry if I got too carried away with my thoughts and imaginary conversations while walking in public so much that I started quietly whispering to myself, and of course moving my lips. Or doing something else weird like licking or biting my lips. Or inappropriately smiling against my will.

When I stopped wearing it, it basically felt like being naked in public. An awful feeling so bad I wished for another wave of the pandemic only so that masks would seem acceptable again.

Maybe I wasn't the only one. Perhaps it's such psychological thing for someone else.

user224 , 13 days ago to Technology in Router scan

Good idea.

You can still get the newest DD-WRT builds even on the WRT54G.
That is a Wi-Fi router from 2002.

Of course, the features are sort of limited. I tried the VPN build (on WRT54GL), but I couldn't get the OpenVPN client to connect. I found some thread mentioning it may be missing something, but I don't know if that's the issue.

Anyway, without overclocking I'd expect like 2Mbps. I mean, it barely handles HTTPS. Just trying to load the WebUI maxes out the CPU for several seconds if trying to use HTTPS.
Perhaps it's not missing anything software-wise, but it's just so slow it times out during handshake.
So I just put the std build on it in case it will be useful at some point.

Like r/Place

It was there last year, but not many knew about it.

user224 , 16 days ago to Reddit in Crazy United Kingdom mods restrict users to five post per day

Why do you need to post more?

Generally it just means spamming, better to restrict it.

Nope.

Can confirm.
