I've tried a few "third party" smart bulbs as it were but, expensive as they are, nothing comes close to Hue for colour accuracy and general responsiveness. As you didn't specify "cheap", Hue will always be my recommendation.

That said, if you do want "cheap" and want to avoid WiFi then the Innr bulbs are fairly decent for the price. I've got about 15 of their spotlight style bulbs and they were half the price of the Hue alternatives.

Also in the UK but needed no clues. I guess I've been exposed to enough American media to at least be aware of these things.

Had that in a game last night, and then another bulk spawned later in the mission. Only thing is we were playing on Xbox so we don't even have the new season yet.

I have my dock plugged into a smart plug and the laptop set in the BIOS to turn on when it receives power. I have an NFC tag on my coffee machine that I bloop while I'm making my morning brew, and that turns the dock on so that everything's ready when I move into the office.

For turning things off I have HASS.Agent installed and sending state updates (locked, unlocked, etc, which is useful for other automations) and when that sensor goes unavailable for 15 minutes it turns the plug off. I find that's long enough to allow it to reboot for updates and what not.

The sensor does report shutdown, reboot, and sleep states but I found that it often happens too quickly to get the change sent, so the unavailable state is more reliable.

I loved this game. The sequels all went in-engine for their cutscenes and lost a lot of the charm that came with real actors hamming it up in front of a green screen.

Not being from the US/Canada, it took until my late 30s to figure out what this line even meant.

Cries in Xbox

Chop, chop, dig, dig. I hear digging but I don't hear chopping!

It's the one where he and Ned go to Vegas and marry waitresses.

Yeah honestly Eternal should've been a Quake reboot using the new engine rather than a Doom sequel. Everything about it felt like Quake.

Meh. I was really hoping they'd go back to the sci-fi aesthetic of 2016 but instead they've doubled down on the weird high fantasy with guns thing.

It's like they actually wanted to reboot Heretic/Hexen but they couldn't get the license for it so they've just shoehorned it into Doom instead.

I can't stop chuckling. Needed that, thanks!

I think it depends what the price is. If they can make the experience compelling enough while (heavily) undercutting the Steam Deck then they may be onto a winner.

... Though being in the console market people will make comparisons to the Switch, so that might be their target price point.

 

Specifically from the standpoint of protecting against common and not-so-common exploits.

I understand the concept of a reverse proxy and how works on the surface level, but do any of the common recommendations (npm, caddy, traefik) actually do anything worthwhile to protect against exploit probes and/or active attacks?

Npm has a "block common exploits" option but I can't find anything about what that actually does, caddy has a module to add crowdsec support which looks like it could be promising but I haven't wrapped my head around it yet, and traefik looks like a massive pain to get going in the first place!

Meanwhile Bunkerweb actually looks like it's been built with robust protections out of the box, but seems like it's just as complicated as traefik to setup, and DNS based Let's Encrypt requires a pro subscription so that's a no-go for me anyway.

Would love to hear people's thoughts on the matter and what you're doing to adequately secure your setup.

Edit: Thanks for all of your informative replies, everyone. I read them all and replied to as many as I could! In the end I've managed to get npm working with crowdsec, and once I get cloudflare to include the source IP with the requests I think I'll be happy enough with that solution.

 

Some sort of goals against streak, no more than 2 or possibly 3?Also unclear as to whether that's a franchise or NHL record?

 

... Due to past performance post mid-season, but look at those standings! Even if Boston or New York catch up in points we'll still be on top.

Anyway, just sending some hockey love from a UK Jets fan.

 

I work in tech and am constantly finding solutions to problems, often on other people's tech blogs, that I think "I should write that down somewhere" and, well, I want to actually start doing that, but I don't want to pay someone else to host it.

I have a Synology NAS, a sweet domain name, and familiarity with both Docker and Cloudflare tunnels. Would I be opening myself up to a world of hurt if I hosted a publicly available website on my NAS using [insert simple blogging platform], in a Docker container and behind some sort of Cloudflare protection?

In theory that's enough levels of protection and isolation but I don't know enough about it to not be paranoid about everything getting popped and providing access to the wider NAS as a whole.

Update: Thanks for the replies, everyone, they've been really helpful and somewhat reassuring. I think I'm going to have a look at Github and Cloudflare's pages as my first port of call for my needs.

 

Hey there, my local instance has had two admin posts pinned for the last 6 months-ish and they show right at the top of my Subscribed, Local, and All views. I can't imagine they're going to get un-pinned any time soon, so it would be great to get a feature where we can hide them.

Thanks for the consideration!
