  • Trump’s 2020 crusade has led to 700 years in prison sentences

  • I can't believe zip tie guy just got 5 years. That's some bullshit. He goes into the capital with zip ties, so obviously ready to participate in kidnapping, and gets off with 5 years? Petty drug offenses have resulted in far stiffer punishments. Fuck that guy. He should be under the jail.

  • What’s the best printer in terms of no DRM/Open source

    Jump

  • A little off topic from your DRM/open source query, but since so many people are praising brother, in my opinion they are ruining their printers due to the jacked up toner cost. It's not even just brother. Basically all the greedy printer manufacturers have all but ruined affordable laser printing. Years ago you could buy a brother printer for a reasonable cost that used toner that cost about a penny per page to print. They shrank the toner cartridges but didn't reduce the cost so it's not uncommon to speed a few cents a page on toner these days. Compare that with the current ink tank options and you'll find the cost is way lower at around $.002 per page. The biggest trade off in my opinion is that you have to print to them regularly or they clog up and they are slower, but they are definitely a better value.

    TL DR: greedy printer manufacturers ruined laser printers. Buy an ink tank printer instead until they ruin inkjets again.

  • what do you call a water-skiing man with no arms and no legs?

  • Wrong, that's Bob.

    What do you call the same man in the hot tub?

    Stew.

  • Moving external DNS server to VPS

    Jump

  • Thanks for the suggestion. Honestly one thing I don't like about AWS and a lot of the major cloud vendors these days is the pricing structure isn't very easy for me to wrap my head around and I'm never confident what I will be charged. I do have some services on AWS and so far I haven't had any surprises but I do always have that concern. I will give Route 53 another look though.

  • Moving external DNS server to VPS

    Jump

  • Thanks for the detailed response! I will definitely check out unbound. Sounds perfect. And 2 cores and 2 GB RAM is exactly what I was hoping would be enough, so I can keep costs down.

  • Moving external DNS server to VPS

  • All great questions! It will be a Debian Linux hosted VPS. Thanks for the input!

  • Any CompTIA A+ resources?

    Jump

  • Check out Professor Messer on YouTube. Super professional and comprehensive exam prep videos are available on his channel for free. I relied on his videos, a flash card app, and Mike Myers CompTIA A+ study guide when I was broke and trying to get A+ certified and into the IT field. It worked out for me. I owe Professor Messer a debt of gratitude.

  • I stuck with Windows for the longest time because of gaming, but for my needs that's no longer necessary. If it's been a while since you tried Steam on Linux you might want to give it another try.

  • YSK: There's a website with seemingly never ending offers on VPS.

    Jump

  • I can't speak to Racknerd, but I have used a couple VPS from Ethernet Servers and they are a great value. I have a single core VPS with 3 GB RAM and 100 GB SSD for $25 per year, and another with higher specs I pay more for.

  • Kevin Mitnick, the world’s ‘most wanted’ hacker before becoming a cybersecurity consultant, dies at 59

    Jump

  • Kevin Mitnick was truly legendary. I particularly respect the fact that he reportedly never stole a dime from anyone, and that he ultimately used his skills for good. His services helped protect many people including government entities from hacking attacks. The world lost a great man too soon.

  • Two Nextcloud instances for security?

    Jump

  • For the described scenario only one public IP is necessary. The other Nextcloud instance could have an internal IP only.

  • Pocket Casts Plus increases subscription pricing to $33.99 from $10

    Jump

  • Good question! Not OP, but I've used the free version extensively and have no need for Plus. The free version works great and is the podcast app I recommend. That subscription price is just dumb though.

  • DRM removal tool was taken down from github. If you can, please download it from gitlab before its taken down too

  • The shady world of Brave selling copyrighted data for AI training

    Jump

  • Or they could keep using Brave? I use Brave on my phone and Firefox on my desktop for the same reasons mentioned, but in general Brave is a great browser on phones. I'm amazed it isn't hugely popular if only for the YouTube features.
