Yes 2FA is good, but most people default to their phone being the tool, but your phone number can be ported by scammers, or is often the target of theft

The solution to that is you purchase a backup key and enroll both when presented with the QR image for new OTP links, or add a secondary FIDO key on some accounts. Then you store the other one in a fireproof box.

Or you use a cryptographic key and print it out using shard tool. The shard tool lets you specify how many splits and how many required for a tebuild. It prints out the shards and you distribute to safe places or people. They are useless by themselves but if you scan in the required amount of pieces the tool will rebuild your cryptographic key

Use a yubikey hardware device, only the person with the hardware in hand and password can unlock your accounts

Just takes a brute force or 0 day vulnerability to get master password access, then they have everything.

Something that seems secure never is online, like the 2017 Intel managetment vulnerability where remote attackers could access your computer by sending a null password, and access your keyboard and camera etc

Not sure about the distro being used, opensuse makes a docker zone to put docker interfaces on, those have their own ports and rules separate then the Ethernet assigned zone ports/services to allow. For me I had the opposite issue, I couldn’t reach my docker containers from my lan, onky from the local machine because the Ethernet was on an internal zone and Docker was on its own zone. I’m not a superskilled networker dude so I just turned on forwarding and masquerade so the incoming LAN zone would forward to doocker zone and pretend to be the local machine connecting and not a LAN or remote IP. I guess if you moved your dockers too the public zone you could get in trouble

Hardware raid is fine as long as you can still get the same hardware RAID card or Motherboard.

Wireguard between you and remote device like a pi. Set pi to portfowarding and masquerading on. It will then let you be on say a 10.x.x x network remotely but will send info on the remote LAN like it came from that pi local IP

In psychology they taught that death : It’s the final stage of life.

And that single line cured me from worrying about it

CBD is the calming part right?

Lol, I noticed that. I suggested making membership closed/vetted if you are going to get that upset about it

I love it. I’m terrible at musical instruments, but love listening. And I find mp3 music muddy sounding so prefer WAV or flac, or just direct from CD.

My taste is music is whatever has something unique or “good”, so my collection covers many genres.

There’s a few songs that raise my body hair, and those are obvious favorites.

Usually listening on a HiBerry Pi Pro since its a low cost DAC and don’t have space for component audio.

I check their other comments to see if it is just a one off, or their overarching personality type. Majority they are dicks to everyone.

I switched from reddit awhile back. It is similar, but so far have seen a lot less hostility than reddit. I don’t have time for those types , so if they turn to insults rather than proper dialog I just block them, even if they weren’t talking to me directly. It makes it a much more pleasant experience

There’s also over diagnosis where people want a reason for their personality traits and doctor shop. Sometimes people are just quirky as part of life experience, and not everything is a disorder.

I thought about learning Dvorak, but at this stage my fingers just do what I’m thinking, I’m not sure I can unlearn Qwerty.

They are still weird

For mine, not TrueNAS, I boot to a live USB stick, so drives are not in use and do an full gparted copy to a back up drive, so it is a clone. Should the system die I swap the whole drive out.

That’s a good point to hit. Our system encouraged everyone to get a university degree to find work/career, but it doesn’t have to be the path.

Lots of skilled trades out there that offer lots of opportunity to move up while earning well.

My example, I went to Uni because that’s what you do but ran out of my own funds year one, so had to go back to work to save for next round. I started working on the shop floor at a tooling place. They had openings for designers in engineering so I got in there and learned tooling design using CAD/CAM software, they offered apprenticeships so night school was free. As tooling became more automated it led to learning hydraulics, pneumatics, electrical wiring and controls. Later into Lean philosophy for plant efficiencies, etc. Along the way you are in charge of the project and manage time.

Now after 35+ years and changing jobs, my role is often as a consultant and includes mentoring engineers on how to use various software offerings (auto or industrial), or going into companies to conduct audits and produce reports that hilight what they can do better.

It was an organic path, where each learning step along the way led to something new opening up. So rather than a long paragraph like above I think its important for them to not be to anxious; because you can change paths and make choices along the way and end up with something enjoyable of your own making.
