There’s been plenty of malicious apps found in the past. Though, I’m sure the play store isn’t much better. Disappointing that Apple will bend devs over a Barrel sometimes but they don’t find shit like this.

Looks like jellyfin has an api. I’m sure that could be leveraged. Just would need to have a way to send over api requests. You mentioned JavaScript, but I could see this being done in maybe DJango instead if you’re familiar with python. Though the learning curve for Django is a beast in itself imo

Seems like you could just make a simple web page for this.

I had a less technical savvy coworker putting together a raspi for something, emulation I think. And he was notoriously cheap, he told me he got a micro SD from China for a suspiciously low price.

Well during this endeavor, he would keep asking me about random errors he was seeing. And I kept saying bro it is that cheap SD card you bought. He wouldn’t hear it.

Eventually, he tried out another SD card and sure enough, no more weird errors.

  1. If the average of an electric car is 3-6k that means that is it sometimes above the 5,000 limit, am I wrong?

  2. You just did a whataboutism with this undercarriage thing which is irrelevant

  3. Yes, let’s send the pickup truck drivers to their death and do a fake sob about it, yeah? You feel good about that?

The article literally says that the problem will just get worse as we move to electric cars since they’re heavier.

I dislike people having useless pickup trucks as much as the next guy, but I don’t think they deserve to die either. Or how about semi drivers? You know, a crucial part of our delivery infrastructure?

Maybe take the time to read next time and think with the smart part of your brain.

You shouldn’t do this. Why would you do this

.local is definitely local but it’s common for it to be used with mDNS primarily. To the second part of your question, yes that’s correct, since it will be reserved it will not be any public DNS server, even if it did look outside it wouldn’t find anything.

[–] VelociCatTurd 4 points 10 months ago (3 children)

Sure. Though I’m not an expert on mDNS or anything. It stands for multi cast DNS. In a normal scenario, when your PC tries to connect to a local resource at its hostname it will use a local DNS server (or its own cache). It’s like a phone book. I know who I’m looking for, I just need to look in the phone book and see what their IP is. With mDNS there is no server. You’ll have a service that will plan to respond at a particular .local hostname, so like jellyfin.local (this is just an example, I don’t know if it has mDNS) but that isn’t registered on a server. Instead when your PC wants to reach jellyfin it will send a multi-cast to the other local devices and say “ok, I’m looking for some guy named jellyfin.local, which one of y’all is that?” And the jellyfin server will respond and say “yo what up, this is my ip address”

So anyway, that only works with .local addresses. You could use .local with a regular dns server, but then you may run into a conflict. So that would be the benefit of reserving .internal

If you want more confidence, run badblocks on the drives right after you get them. It will test the drive for any… bad blocks. Will take a while depending on your drive size.

.local is for mDNS addresses.
