If it helps you avoid users it's a plus.

I'd take deciphering the Rosetta code over that any day.

Make sure to test your setup if you are using DAV. Large files can fail if your nextcloud setup is done incorrectly.

One way to do this would be set up crowdsec bouncers on each server but only run a single instance of the crowdsec daemon. Send all logs to the daemon and let it communicate with all the bouncers.

Sounds like a job for crowdsec. Basically fail2ban on steroids. They already have a ban scenario for attempts to exploit web application CVEs. While the default ssh scenario does not ban specific usernames, I'm pretty sure writing a custom one would be trivial (writing a custom parser+scenario for ghost cvs from no knowledge to fully deployed took me just one afternoon)

Another thing I like about crowdsec is the crowd sourced ban IPs. It's super nice you can preemptively ban IPs that are port-scanning/probing other people's servers.

It's also MIT licensed and uses less ram than fail2ban.

I might switch to it once bitwarden support comes out.

Worst case I lose my Google account. Which I only use for Android (no sync, no mail, no purchases)

Best case, Google no longer defaults to mobile 2fa and finally accepts i want to use totp every time.

Also, how would the biometrics requirement work if all im doing is storing the whole thing in a Bitwarden vault?

Not quite. The way property is leased is such that you can indefinitely renew it for free until you are dead. The standard base lease is 70 years so you'll probably never run into problems. Even if you do exceed it it's simply showing up at an administrative location and talking to a clerk.

This came up about a decade ago since a bunch of people were panicking about their properties due to some older houses having only 20 years leases. The government then clarified that the difference is the management of the property (e.g. apartment complex) goes from the developer to the government at the end of the lease. Nothing else can force individual buyers out (except for "illegal" housing modifications).

In reality, when public works require demolishion, the government usually provides substitute housing instead of money. My understanding is that most people take the new house/apartment since they are actually new (less than 3 years old), in nice locations (most I've seen are near bus stops/subway stations with reasonable school districts and nearby supermarkets), and worth more than their old place. That being said Asian societal pressure definitely is a thing. So even if you don't want the new property you'll probably take it just to avoid the side eye.

You can do it through democracies. Taiwan has two sets of high speed rail systems.

Are they expensive to maintain? Absolutely. In fact they bankrupted 2+ companies until the government decided to step in and foot part of the bill. But then again, if the government isn't willing to pay for basic infrastructure, what are taxes for?

(Also as a tangent, the Taiwan high speed rail bentos are to die for. I had it 5+ years back and I still remember it. Super cheap meal in a disposable bamboo lunch box. Usually there are 1-2 choices per day. I had chicken thighs, pickled veggies, steamed pumpkin, and half a marinated tea egg. The bottom half of the lunch box was filled with rice. 10/10 would eat at a busy train station during rush hour again)

Is this an exclusively US thing? Back when I was in Asia there were always subtitled showings and non-subtitled showings. The better theaters even had a dedicated teleprompter at the bottom so the subtitles don't block the movie.

My suggestion is to get a device that can do the stuff kids want, but just barely do the things they want.

I probably spent more time tinkering around the family computer than anything else as a kid just to get games way over-spec to run on it. Throughout that process I learned programming, hex editing, and some Linux system administration, which eventually led me to my current career.

These days, it's probably a lot easier to get started with a raspberry pi. But without something to motivate people to learn tech, why would they do it in the first place?

"But what if they start putting fries in my ports? I can't have fries without any ketchup!"

I must be dumb cause I still need 3 tries to plug in a HDMI/DP port.

USB B takes 6 tries: first three times in a RJ45 port, then 3 more after realizing I've been messing with the wrong port all this time.

  1. Attempt to plug in the USB A device
  2. If you succeed. End procedure
  3. Otherwise, destroy the reality you currently reside in. All remaining universes are the ones where you plugged in the device on the first try.

That wasn't so hard, was it?
