I wonder how common it is to make folders named “desktop crap” as I have several and some are over 20 years old

You cannot specify ports in a DNS A or AAAA record. www.example.com cannot resolve to 1.2.3.4:443 and app.domain.com cannot resolve to 1.2.3.4:5555

If the application (be it a game or whatnot) supports it, SRV records can identify a port for a hostname. So, you could have minecraft1.domain.com and an SRV record to specify port 25565, and minecraft2.domain.com SRV 25566.

This means you can have multiple Minecraft servers with the same IP address, but you won’t need to give people the port numbers to remember; the hostname allows the game to look up the port via the SRV record.

This is great for selfhosters because we generally only get one IP (until they rollout IPv6; probably half the reason they don’t)

It was when I enabled it but I think it’s on the main release now? It uses HomeAssistant’s new list views. At the top right there should be a box that says “filter:’downloaded” or something like that; click the X to remove it and see everything.

You’re describing Meta’s plan but yes that could work.

They changed the way new stuff is listed, you have to unfilter your list of installed integrations to see new stuff

There are so many great ones but lately this one has been making me chuckle. https://youtu.be/qVnzn1aB0fk?si=9jkkqsiq6Ihyw9uD

There is probably some kind of backdoor into devices utilizing a recovery or diagnostic mode. Either that or AES has been broken for many years now

For a drive with throwaway data where performance might be a concern but data protect is a nice-to-have it’s fine. Think games or a cache disk for art workstations

Computers and their interfaces? Way beyond the familiarity of older folks. TikTok? That’s just rapid-fire TV. That’s channel surfing where every flip is a reward. That’s gambling and standup combined.

It’s kind of insidious.

I mean, you can use other systems besides cryptographic proof-of-work to determine legitimacy of stakeholders of a blockchain. It doesn’t necessarily have to waste power.

That being said, none of the other alternatives are really viable either. Proof-of-stake? So the “richest” people on the chain control all the money? Sounds like we just reinvented the late-stage-capitalism we already have.

And who would the largest nodes on that blockchain be? The banks? Who could say and do whatever they conspired since they command >50% of the computing power and/or value?

The average person isn’t going to build a fucking blockchain node just to keep the deed to their house.

“Grandma, please you need to fill your basement with these ASICs or else script kiddies will steal your house”

Exactly. These kind of things happen from time to time; hell even big corpo OSes mess up. They said they’d taken time to fix their process to prevent this problem happening again.

If it becomes a pattern I’d become concerned. So far, it was inconvenient.
