bolind posted:A little PSA/unsolicited fatherly advice: I finally talked my mother into using one... she's been using a thick notebook for the past two decades. Anytime she changed a password, she'd just write on a new page. Made it so much fun anytime she forgot a new password. I'm using ~the cloud~ for mine, but it has a strong password that I don't use elsewhere. I think I'm finally down to less than a dozen services with a shared password, and it took my bank calling me and saying "uh, so someone managed to log in to your online banking a few minutes ago, but we saw that the IP was from California, they failed one security question, and you haven't filed a travel notification with us.... also they called us to reset the password from a phone number that isn't on your account" to go that far. That password was a mixed-case alphanumeric password, there's no way it was brute forced. I'd used that password in too many places.

OK, that's not so impressive. I wasn't aware of the OnHubs (my ubiquiti setup is treating me far too well to bother doing anything about it) - how do you like them, apart from this little SNAFU?

A bit Apple-ish in that they kept you from most of the computer janitor settings, but the good news is that you never really needed to get into those settings since the system was well automated. I've got a large, spread-out house and this system took care of all wifi issues I had. This is going to piss a lot of people off and they'll ditch their OnHubs... and I'll pick up a couple more cheap on ebay. meatpimp fucked around with this message at 12:46 on Feb 24, 2017 |

Probably going to be joining the landed gentry within the next year and was wondering if anyone had experience with snow plows on trucks. Rather than paying someone to plow the driveway and what not since I will probably be getting something on a fairly large lot to store all my unfinished AI projects I was going to get a old truck and a plow and just do it myself. The question is that will the thing just disintegrate in a winter of hard use and salt and I should just get someone to come do it? Of course there is the fact that being Mr Plow sounds amusing but if the thing is going to cost a ton and then just fall apart either causing me to junk it and get another or fix it then I might as well get heated radiant tiles for the driveway and paths and be super lazy.

How much will you realistically have to/want to clear? A dedicated snowblower instead may be a better purchase. E: Dave's answer is superior.

InitialDave posted:How loose is your definition of "truck"? Heh, honestly if I can just use anything I will. When I finally enslave myself to the bank I will take a view on the situation and if a snow blower is more sensible. Some of the places I am looking at are 2-3 acres as I want some space but if that is all back yard and my drive way is less than 100ft then the only reason I would get a truck to plow is so I can drive it around my land with a pipe and shotgun like in the old country.

Of course they can, but if you don't even try you're doing their work for them. It also works better when you have a good insurance company and you claim it yourself and let them do the fighting with the lovely companies.

To be fair, everyone has pretty much been told not to use SHA-1 hashes for anything for at least the last 3-4 years. There's been plenty of chances to migrate and I don't think Chrome even supports certs with an SHA-1 hash anymore.

I don't rely on it, though, I've got a backup Asus router running another wifi network along side, so nbd. All I lost was access to the outdoor lighting and remote thermostat control... and I lived right through that trauma.

Why doesn't everything use two factor at this point? Even a ghetto two factor where with a login from a new computer it sends you an email with a code? I include this site because my poo poo posting is very important.
