“handrails were deliberately left off to allow the defender to push the attacker off the stairs all together. Also violating all modern building codes, stair treads were sometimes constructed of varying heights to deliberately cause attackers to stumble and fall as they ran up them.”

Happy you’re happy with Windows, but Linux is absolutely not “prone to failure”.

better yet, why couldn’t someone design a printer that can be 3D printed and use open source firmware?

I like Lemmy and Mastodon. No ads or manipulative algorithms. Somewhat social and usually polite. Turns out that when you don’t automate the incitement of anger and invective in clever ways that people can actually be pretty civil. Whoda thunk?

recently bought 2 of the beelink mini PCs - they seem pretty solid so far - they are quite a bit more expensive than the pi but I think they offer pretty good bang for the buck for a small form factor server.

I did not know until now that it is possible to embed external images within posts and replies. I thought the only option was to upload to your instance.

this is bothersome, but if you use a VPN then at least there’s that.

otherwise it’s feasible to track captured addresses based on which posts they read by posting an external image in the post or a reply.

if you are seeing images in this post, then your client address is visible to any external image hosts.

no. the remote server will log the requests based on the client address. it is a good argument for using a vpn.
