on Owners mourn spoiled food after firmware update bricks Samsung smart fridges in c/technology@lemmy.world · 1d ago
Having an alert go off if it gets too warm would be useful. That just needs a smart temperature sensor connected to your HA server though.

on Home server on old android phones? in c/selfhosted@lemmy.world · 3d ago
It can work as long as the phone has an option to limit the battery charge to 80% or less. Keeping the battery fully charged for an extended amount of time will damage it and may even cause it to puff up.

on [US] House passes bill requiring AM radio in all new cars sold nationwide in c/technology@lemmy.world · 17 Sep 2026
There are still phones with FM radios. They’ve gotten harder to find since they need wired headphones to use as the antenna. I’ve never seen one with an AM radio though. The antenna in a pocket AM radio is thicker than a modern phone.

on German police read Signal, Telegram, WhatsApp messages without breaking encryption in c/technology@lemmy.world · 12 Sep 2026
I never set a phone number on two of my google accounts and they still work fine. Those accounts are old. Google didn’t ask for a phone number to sign up back then.
I recall seeing something about them planning to get rid of SMS 2FA last year. It looks like it’s still an option though.

on Your LG TV Might Be Spying on Your Entire Network While You Think It's Turned Off in c/technology@lemmy.world · 8 Sep 2026
In that case, it should be disposed of like an SSD that contains sensitive information. Find the flash chips and either drill holes through them or smash them into dust with a big hammer.

on Your LG TV Might Be Spying on Your Entire Network While You Think It's Turned Off in c/technology@lemmy.world · 7 Sep 2026
If you are going to have smart devices, put them on their own VLAN. They should not have access to the rest of your network. TVs shouldn’t be connected at all. Use a PC or android box if you want to stream stuff.

I have a thermal receipt printer that I use for printing the WiFi QR codes. I wrote a simple Python script using the escpos library.

on Internet centralization and the original sin of NAT in c/selfhosted@lemmy.world · 1 Sep 2026
Starlink has supported IPv6 for years. You have to put their router in bypass mode and connect your own to open ports in the firewall though. They delegate a /56 prefix and it’s stable. Mine hasn’t changed in over 3 years. Since my cell carrier also provides IPv6, I can access my SFTP server remotely without dealing with any NAT.

on World's first GPS-free quantum navigation trial succeeds at sea in c/technology@lemmy.world · 29 Aug 2026
That’s comparable to what a skilled navigator can do with a sextant and chronometer. That’s more than enough accuracy to cross the ocean and get close enough to the port that you can see it.

It may not even be the website that leaks the data. It could be the payment processor they use that has a data breach.

D-sub connectors still work fine if you don’t screw them in. They were also used in industrial applications where you really didn’t want them getting disconnected though.

They need to support it on the Moto G phones so people can actually afford them.

on Ads and tracking infiltrated TVs. Now they're coming for monitors. in c/technology@beehaw.org · 25 Aug 2026
Windows installed that malware. The monitor has no way of installing anything on its own.

on Ads and tracking infiltrated TVs. Now they're coming for monitors. in c/technology@beehaw.org · 25 Aug 2026
Monitors should never be “smart”. They have exactly one purpose and that is to display the video signal connected to them. If it starts displaying ads on top of that video signal, then it’s unable to serve it’s one purpose and it belongs in the dumpster.

on Comcast turns your Xfinity WiFi into a home motion detector in c/technology@lemmy.world · 24 Aug 2026
I could give 2 shits if China is spying on me.
Someone will figure out how to use the backdoor on the Chinese router. Then they can bypass your firewall. Now your router and all of your insecure IoT devices will be part of their botnet. They will sell your internet connection as a residential proxy or use it to DDoS websites.

on Stick PC for a media client? in c/selfhosted@lemmy.world · 23 Aug 2026
All of the Raspberry Pi models have hardware decoding. Even a Pi 1B will play a 30 mbps 1080p bluray rip. I used to run OpenELEC on a 1B. The interface on XBMC was really laggy, but h.264 videos played smoothly.
You need a Pi 4 or newer for h.265 hardware decoding. The Pi 3 has enough power to software decode some h.265 videos.
The video player you use needs to be compiled specifically for a Raspberry Pi for the hardware decoding to work though.

Businesses need to start banning smart glasses with cameras or at least require the cameras to be covered with tape.

Luckily the alerts can be turned off in the US. I don’t want to be woken up for something hundreds of miles away.

on Best Buy 'repairs' customer's gaming laptop by simply removing half the RAM— claims unit in question only accepts 32 GB of RAM despite listing a 64GB configuration in c/technology@lemmy.world · 19 Aug 2026
One stick of 32GB has been removed and sent back to client with unit.
No, the stick they removed was faulty. They sent it back to the customer instead of replacing it under the warranty.

on first nas network struggle in c/selfhosted@lemmy.world · 19 Aug 2026
Some ISPs just have a broken IPv6 implementation. If they do it correctly, they should delegate a /56 prefix that doesn’t change unless the DUID on your router changes or your PoP changes.

on What is your weirdest self-hosting problem you've had to solve? For me: Mouse inside the server. in c/selfhosted@lemmy.world · 19 Aug 2026
I have a small piece of acrylic sheet taped over the power and reset buttons on my server for that reason. At least I don’t have to worry about mice.

on A solar powered website that goes offline when there's no power in c/selfhosted@lemmy.world · 18 Aug 2026
You’re better off with the LiFePO4 batteries even if you don’t care about weight. A lead acid battery will wear out quickly when you cycle it daily. Lithium also has a higher charging efficiency, so you get more usable power from the solar panel.

on Selfhosting a printer (and scanner) server with UI in c/selfhosted@lemmy.world · 18 Aug 2026
The CUPS web UI is just for configuration. As long as the printer is shared, it should automatically show up in the printers list for any Linux PC on the same network.

Another option is to point your DNS to one of the public ad blocking DNS servers.

Just put the phone in a Faraday cage and turn off the bluetooth devices. You will need an older car without bluetooth and telemetry built in though.

The easy way to remove the malware is to install Linux.

on We tested the impact of SSD speed on gaming performance in 11 titles & we analyzed from SATA to PCIe 5.0 to see whether upgrading to a faster NVMe SSD would have an impact in c/technology@lemmy.world · 9 Aug 2026
They only tested frame rates. There was no real difference between PCIe versions and most games ran nearly as well from SATA SSDs.
It would have been nice if they tested load times.
I’m sure someone could figure out how to boot Linux on a vacuum tube computer. The problem is there just aren’t that many around that are still operational.
