This looks really cool. And I just setup Pihole 😐

I meant it as a joke.

But for all practical purposes, it’s true. I don’t pay flying car accident insurance premiums because they are not mainstream. But I am insured against regular car accidents.

Jio Fiber in India

You can check this forum post for details. Other IoT appliances were connecting to the hidden SSID.

suricata

TIL about suricata. Thanks!

I guess I am safe then. There is too much spying in the living room anyways.

Please don’t give them any ideas. I know that some ISPs already provide routers with hidden SSIDs which are kind of used like a mesh. TVs, in collaboration with those ISPs, them can communicate.

Security by obsoleteness

Right now, I have one of those cheap google sticks. But I want to eventually shift to an open-source solution using an RPi or a mini-pc.

Ethernet over HDMI

Thanks for this. Looks like it’s a rare protocol.

Excerpt from the article

If you have an HEC-compatible device, it will most likely be self-described somewhere in the user’s manual. Unfortunately, this technology is rarely implemented, and you would be hard-pressed to find a device that uses HEC. Through our research, we were unable to find any modern consumer device that uses HEC.

I am slightly relieved.

But if you are unsure you can test it by connecting and seeing if the TV is getting a connection

I might be a bit paranoid but I suspect that in such a scenario, the TV will report that there is no connection but will keep on sending data to remote servers.

Fortunately in my area there are no open WiFi networks but disconnecting the WiFi card is a good suggestion. Wish we had physical kill-switches in all devices.

But how? Going topless as a male is fine, right?

Cocain Bear = Give cocain to a bear

I’m not encouraging their use, but harm reduction is a big deal, it saves lives

Can you tell me which kind of drugs are these? I promise i’m not a fed :P

PS: I am excluding medical marijuana. I know they are useful in certain scenarios.

I know the difference instinctively but i think i may have written it wrong in many places. “I’ll add this exercise to my workout” vs “We should work out more”.

Thanks for the detailed explanation.

• Workout. Doesn’t have to be a lot but be consistent
• No matter what everyone says, keep on learning.
• Try to be in contact with your close friends
• Don’t compare yourself to someone else. There will always be someone better.
• Develop some hobbies which doesn’t involve a mobile phone or other people
• Read books. Even two books a year is great.
• Don’t do drugs or smoke. It’s not worth it.

This needs to be mandatory due to its fragile nature.

In short, teaching myself simple stuff.

There’s a viral video of a person creating booby-trapped parcels for porch-pirates. They steal the parcel which creates mayhem at their house (stink spray, glitter). Can the thief sue the person?
