For a general guide on how to make ssh more secure I stick to https://www.sshaudit.com/

You can check your config and they also provide step by step guides for several distros…

That show is equal parts content and advertising. That is a bit too much for me…

It’s because Elon has a tiny red button for self destruction and he keeps pressing it every time, isn’t it?

You might also destroy a lot of the resources on entry. Also: Where do you land it? It is not so easy to steer these things and if it lands on someone else’s land you might even have to pay them for damages…

The easiest thing: We use a motion sensor to automatically turn on the light for the stairs. You wouldn’t need Home Assistant for that, but with a little more configuration you can adjust the light levels and colour temperature based on the time of day (not as disturbing at night). We have two rooms which have problems with humidity in one a fan is automatically turned on (basic) in the other a dehumidifier is triggered based on the outside and inside temperature because there are large windows which are producing a lot of condensation otherwise. Now the really specific stuff: My daughter has Diabetes and we need to manage her blood glucose levels. There are alarms but ideally you would act before they are triggered. So we hooked her blood glucose levels to a light in our bedroom which turns on if her levels are getting out of bounds at night. That way she isn’t woken by the alarm, but by one of us and can go back to sleep much quicker.

That’s easily Home Assistant. It got me into the whole home automation stuff and I have gradually included more and more parts into it - including some health related stuff. It really makes my family’s life easier and helps us organizing it.

Would you mind sharing links?

That’s the way to do it. The problem is that the request originates from the browser of you website visitor. You need to open a path for them to you media server. Nginx and it’s reverse proxy functionality is exactly what you need for that.

Betteridge’s law of headlines applies.

Expensive is a hard word for something that gets you a whole year compared to the price of two month everywhere else.

These planets all have incredibly short “years”. The outermost only takes 55 earth days to complete one orbit. I suspect that this means they are also all very close to their star. That would explain why there is such harmony as the star is easily the only and/or largest gravitational influence on them.

Long story short: The USA are not the moral compass of the world (thank god).

It is now. But Ariane 5 started first over 25 years ago (first launch 1996) with only 5 failures since. It had no failures between 2003 and 2017. That’s a solid reliability record…

A publicly funded agency isn’t going to win the economic race against SpaceX or other privately owned businesses. Ariane’s goal is to provide an independent alternative and bind talent. Their focus is reliability and precision (see JWST launch).

Then he shouldn’t have asked a question if he isn’t open for answers. If an answer is obviously wrong or dismissive of some important detail I would understand it. But if the complaint is It’s not a one-click-fix or I don’t understand what you’re talking about then that’s the best way of not learning anything and not solving the problem.

On Android you have to disable the use of Private DNS (or something like that) in the WiFi settings. If this is enabled it will not use your WiFi’s broadcast DNS, but a predefined one. The reasoning behind this (you can believe this or not) is so that on public WiFis your DNS queries cannot be tracked or manipulated by setting up a local DNS.

I can imagine there is something similar for iOS.

If this only affects some apps then they have decided to hardcore their DNS servers. The only thing you can do now is to identify these and block the calls, but this may also break other stuff if the servers are not only used to resolve ad URLs.

To be honest: After visiting both the US and China I was way more concerned after my US visit that my phone may have been compromised.

Using a VPN was no problem for me in China, but it has been a few years since I’ve been there.

There clearly is a path (if you want to call it that way) right behind its tail. It is of course snow in front of snow so you might have to zoom in to see it.

13 Minutes to the Moon is fantastic. Great suggestion!
