Manjaro let their SSL certificate expire again

Reply in thread

I don’t have a concrete example but I’ve talked to an online friend who works in IT and he claims the majority of his work is just renewing and applying certificates. Now he made it sound like upper management wanted them to specifically use a certain certificate provider, and I don’t know their exact setup. I of course have mentioned certbot and letsecrypt to him but yea, he’s apparently constantly managing certs. Whether that’s due to lack of motivation to automate or upper managements dumb requests idk

My suggestion would be games with community run servers. They often moderate their own servers, and therefor much less cheating.

Now, my two recommendations might not be for everyone. Arma Reforger and Squad. Squad used to be a solid recommendation from me, but they fucked with the gun handling as well as ruined performance. So it’s a light recommendation.

Arma Reforger is a great time.

You might also check out DayZ. They also have community servers which are moderated, and they’re really good at catching cheaters.

Looking for a relatively cheap camera system

Reply in thread

I have a frigate setup. I run it through Docker and I even have the Coral AI processor chip hooked up. Which is pretty neat, runs local pattern recognition for people, annimals, etc. I use generic IP cams on their own network. I think pretty much anything that supports RTSP would work. Then hooked up to HA via MQTT, again all in docker. With the coral, I only get notifications if it actually detects a person. The false positives are extremely rare. And I use Tailscale for access from outside the LAN

PDF to EPUB doable?

Reply in thread

I’ve done It before. It’s just highly dependent on the PDF. What software made the pdf? What format was it in prior to being a PDF? Is it a scanned image of text? Or does it have actual text.

Another option, that might work better, might not, though it would be more work, is use something like Microsoft Word first. Word can open a PDF and “convert” it to Word format. After that, you spend a lot of time fixing all the formatting which will probably be fucked up.

And then, once you have a nice clean Word doc, convert that to epub.

If we’re talking about longest span of time, not necessarily most total hours. Then it would be RuneScape. Started playing back when the wild had no protections. Then after all the changes they made, and once OSRS came out, I went to that instead. Just got my 20-year cape on rs3

Dogs respond to human tone without words, hinting at communication older than language

Reply in thread

Yea, pretty confident that the current understanding in animal behavior and psychology, as it relates to dogs, is that they don’t comprehend words. It’s all just noise. You can cue a dog to perform a behavior with any noise, or easier yet, no noise and just a hand signal. Dogs respond better to hand signals than verbal ones, fun fact. When you’re instilling a new behavior, best practice is to add the verbal cue only after the dog has sufficiently learned the behavior
