The maths a little off, it wont last him 30+ years; but he's absolutely correct with that final statment. If he chugs a gallon of gasoline; he won't need to eat for the rest of his life.

If they are like me, they have probably already found ways to watch porn, monitor their crush's computer, read their email, and get into their webcam.

I got into quite a bit of similar mischief as a (pre)teen; but I didn't do any of it on equipment that I knew was monitored (at least, monitored and signed out to me....)

[-] Darkassassin07@lemmy.ca 3 points 1 day ago

And again; I think that's a bit of a separate issue. These devices shouldn't be equipped with cameras, let alone have the camera monitored/accessible.

The actual activity happening on the device; running applications, what's on screen/in storage, even it's location (with informed notice of said tracking) sure. but there's no need to monitor/access the camera regardless of how or where the device is used.

A simple piece of tape fixes this problem. (plus education to teach students why, ofc)

kids take these computers home

I feel like that is the bigger problem. These aren't private/personal devices; students shouldn't be treating them as personal devices. Especially knowing it's a monitored device.

Properly educating students on the use of these devices is the solution. Not telling schools to turn a blind eye to the use of their own equipment.

[-] Darkassassin07@lemmy.ca -2 points 1 day ago

Yeah, when i was in school; there were no devices issued to students. We had 'computer labs'. Ie; a room full of computers for student use. There was always one computer for the teachers to use that had a remote-desktop interface monitoring every screen in the room live. They could always see what you were doing, lockout your keyboard/mouse, blank your display.

This really doesn't seem any different.

I could understand outrage if students were require to install this on their own hardware; but school issued devices are under the schools monitoring and control. Always have been.

But still far to much of a hassle for the general public. Hell, half the people I know refuse to figure out a regular e-transfer/cash app. There's no way they'll even consider bitcoin; or really any other currency.

Supposedly Starlink is maintaining service for existing accounts, even if they can't bill them ATM.

Somehow I don't think that'll last all that long.

I work warehousing; no IT background, I just like to tinker with whatever. Have since I started breathing.

I was a fairly casual pirate, grabbing movies/shows I couldn't find elsewhere (or just couldn't afford). Got into Plex/Emby for my first real exploration into self-hosting (if you don't count SRCDS and/or Minecraft Server at like 13yo); and expanded my knowledge from there. Reverse Proxys, the 'arrs', DNS, Docker, VPNs, etc.

Now a days, I've got 20+ services that I mostly access via a VPN I host, and I'm always interested in messing with new things :)

I've been using paperless-ngx to consume mail from outlook/hotmail for a while now, but recently had the mail server refuse connections while mail was being processed. (Not sure why, consuming is working now with no changes and no errors besides 'connection refused', while retrieving that mail. Temporary outage I guess?)

This left me with a couple pieces of mail not imported. However, now everytime the mail consume task runs, it recognizes that those pieces of mail are there but refuses to process them with the message:

Skipping mail '421' '<email subject>' from '<sender email>', already processed.

How can I get it to recognize those mails HAVE NOT been processed?

Aug 13 (Reuters) - General Motors (GM.N), has been sued by the state of Texas, which accused the automaker of installing technology on more than 14 million vehicles to collect data about drivers, which it then sold to insurers and other companies without drivers' consent.

I've noticed with the last 2-3 versions of the app (currently 0.0.69, nice); the app crashes 2/3rds of the time when returning to it from being in the background.

Open the app, switch to another app, switch back a couple min later and it closes then reopens as if you'd just started it for the first time today (losing whatever post you had open).

Curious if others are experiencing this?

I have what may be a stupid question...

How is it your master password is both used to decrypt your vault and used to authenticate with bitwardens public servers to acquire a copy of your vault/view it in the web app, but bitwarden can't use that password entry to decrypt the vault themselves?

(please correct me if I'm misunderstanding, as I use self-hosted vaultwarden for my server instead of the public ones)

After almost a year of repeated emails stating the transition from Google Domains will have no effect on customers, no action is required; I just got this email:

Update Dynamic DNS records Hi there, As previously communicated, Squarespace has purchased all domain name registrations and related customer accounts from Google Domains. Customers are in the process of being moved to Squarespace Domains, but before we migrate your domain [redacted] we wanted to inform you that a feature you use, Dynamic DNS (DDNS), will not be supported by Squarespace.

So apparently SquareSpace will be entirely useless to me and I've got "as soon as 30 days" to move.

Got any suggestions for good registrars to migrate to?

(it's a .pw domain if that matters)

/edit. I'm a moron.

I already use cloudflare as my name server, Google/SquareSpace only handles the registration.

I'll be fine. Thanks for the help everyone!

I've got docker installed and I've got a single container running (vaultwarden) via the docker pull/docker run commands provided on its Github page. I'm not sure how to learn more about that container or how to build (compose?) others myself.

I'd like to learn how to transition nginx and pihole to containers and network them together. I'd also like to add paperless-ngx to my setup.

(note: I'm very new to Linux in general, mostly rpis, poking around with debian now)

2FA (lemmy.ca)
submitted 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago) by Darkassassin07@lemmy.ca to c/boostforlemmy@lemmy.world

Does boost support 2 factor auth?

I can't login: If i use the incorrect user+pass I get 'incorrect login' if I use the correct ones I get 'login failed'.

There is no option to enter my required 2fa code...

/edit switched apps then switched back and the 2fa field showed up but refused my code. Force stopped the app and got the same 'login failed' message switched apps again and back; now it shows all fields and finally logged me in correctly.

Seems buggy af.

I've only ever had my domain registered via Google Domains (~7 years), mostly because it was cheap+convenient, and google already had my billing info. Google has however sold its domain registration services to SquareSpace and will soon be transitioning customers there.

Not upset to be removing one more bit of google from my life, but I don't know much about SquareSpace and I'm not sure if I should just go with the transition to them or perhaps move to a different registrar... If I was to move, where too?

Curious what others think about the situation and company.

Are you a Google domains customer? What's your plan? Why?

Using Chrome, Firefox, Brave, Samsungs 'Internet' app, and every other browser I've used/tried on Android:

I'll go to select some text on a page by long-pressing on it and it'll select the word I'm touching as well as expand that selection to a somewhat random amount of additional text (usually not following any structure such as selecting a whole sentence for example).

I'll then go to adjust that selection by grabbing one of the two tabs on either end of it and the moment I do, the opposite tab jumps to a completely random spot on the page vastly expanding the selection, then the whole page scrolls to an entirely different section; Leaving me holding one end of the selection unable to see what was originally selected. I can't scroll to where I was, and If I let go and just click copy I've now copied 90%of the page to my clipboard.... Attempting to modify the selection any further yields the same lack of control and just makes things worse.

This doesn't happen everywhere, but I get these results far far more often than a successful copy+paste. Like just now trying to copy an address from a local transit guide.

I end up having to drop the paste into a notepad app, reselect the bit I actually wanted (if it even made it into the pile of garbage I was forced to grab) then delete the note once I'm done.

This is fucking stupid and I hate it. Rant over. Thank you for listening.

/edit: I don't have the power to pin a comment, but d3Xt3r@lemmy.world has a great solution: Use the rectangle select tool in androids 'Edge Panel' (must be enabled in settings), then press the 'T' button to copy text from the area you've selected.
