The lights flicker at a specific frequency and those frequencies are ever so slightly different in different places. It can be mapped to a grid.

I really do appreciate when npcs actually do something off screen rather then teleport.

I do realize, that probably for efficiency they do despawn if you’re not watching them. But it’s the thought that counts

is such a hassle it wouldn’t really pass in any company

Hate to tell you, this is now the norm. Right now, today, thousands of corporate travelers!

Company creates a travel laptop, perhaps even just a completely empty kiosk laptop. Corporate traveler downloads critical data to the laptop in an enclave (like a presentation). They have a two-factor token with them. If they need to get back to the corporate network for whatever reason, they use remote desktop software and no data is stored on the local device. They’re given policies telling them that if the computer is out of their possession, or view at any time, that the device is not to be used whatsoever afterwards. Contact security and let them deal with it.

When the traveler comes back to the mothership, laptop is checked into IT, it’s completely wiped.

Does remote desktop software suck? Yeah. It’s better than the alternative though

I was surprised too. But a lot of the current NAS devices basically operate as hosting devices. It makes sense the hard drives are there the power is there the RAM is there the CPU is there. So for the low intensity containers and VMs you want to run like a Plex server, or DNS server, or tail scale it’s all right there

At this point, it might be easier just to buy a supported UPS. I’m glad the backups 850 is working. It’s a good data point

I followed your advice, and went through the settings, and try to enable the USB device. But it’s just not detected.

Oh the synology drive is a file system syncing utility, it provides local caching of a remote file system and then syncs the files back. It’s not the software that shuts down the computer

Right now when updates get applied to the NAS, if it gets powered off during the update window that would be really bad and inconvenient require manual intervention.

In memory caching, and the Amy cashing, well I think the file system would almost certainly be in a consistent state, you might lose data in flight if you’re not careful.

The real problem, that I need an nas for, is not the loss of some data, it’s when the storms hit and there’s flooding, the power can go up and down and cycle quite rapidly. And that’s really bad for sensitive hardware like hard disks. So I want the NAS to shut off when the power starts getting bad, and not turn on for a really long time but still turn on automatically when things stabilize

Because this device runs a bunch of VMs and containers as well closing down so that all of those rights get flushed is good practice

AND their Synology drive client requires administrative permission to install on Mac OS, and on Windows. Why? Why…

Well I’m ranting about this process, I have other complaints.

Synology.com - if you want to add a second factor to your account, requires a phone number to be the master factor, in case you lose your second factor. So if you’re worried about Sim jacking, or even just not having a consistent phone number for the lifetime of the deployment, it’s kind of a terrible practice. There’s no way to unlink all phone numbers from an account, you can only replace them with a new phone number.

Synology does actually support hardware USB keys, but only as a secondary factor behind SMS… Ai ya.

How will a vpn give away your location?

You don’t need a SIM card to have a TOTP app they’re totally independent

A VPN you pay for with crypto is probably more secure than driving to somebody’s public Wi-Fi for this use case. Driving to a location, sitting around while uploading a massive video on public Wi-Fi, it’s going to look very suspicious

They’re almost certainly never going to get authorized, the whole point of researching moon rocks is to learn space data, and of China requires that you share the data you learn from the rocks you’re studying, it’s impossible

That’s because the US enacted a law called the Wolf Amendment in 2011, which prevents NASA from using government funds to cooperate directly with China.

unless it has certification from the FBI that such collaboration poses no threats to national security or risks inadvertently leaking space-related tech or data.

Carry on only!

Is there a key?

100%. I think the developer taking the project read only was not a temper tantrum, it was just them signifying they don’t have time to maintain it. So now if you want anything to happen you must fork it.

I really enjoy the game, but now me and my friends are maxed out. Max samples, max medals, max upgrades. With nothing to progress to there is far less incentive to play.

The way my friend group works, and I imagine many others work, when I see one of my friends online playing a game, I join their game. And hell divers was great for that, they made joining games effortless. So it was very social.

But without any of my friends actually progressing towards something in the game, it’s far rarer for us to just join on each other cuz we’re not playing it alone. So now Helldivers is a an option, when we’re already together online, trying to figure out something to do, we will hell dive and have fun no problem. But it’s far less likely now

If they want to maintain a larger user base, they need to have something for people to constantly progress towards. It could just be donating samples to a new research project, that could be infinite grind
