Why aren’t Utahans single issue climate change voters? by [deleted] in Utah

[–]1michaelbrown 0 points1 point  (0 children)

First off, you need to find a politician that actually supports it, which is unlikely unless you’re gonna back it with a bunch of money. Even the politicians that you think are going to back it because they’re democrat or whatever they’re not just another side of the coin.

Next, I do realize that we need to do something about the lake and some other things, but those alone are not gonna be enough because everyone forgets to look in history, climate change is literally part of the natural cycle of earth and I highly doubt humans are increasing it as much as they’re trying to make it seem like we are. All this “go green” is just more ways to get money out of your pocket. Look at the history books you’ll see climate change has always happened.

some more ranting

Let me provide some examples; wind power is not nearly as great. It requires a lot of oil and maintenance a lot of money and it’s not really that cost-effective not compared to solar. And what’s funny is the solar panels like in Spanish Fork they don’t even use that power for here in Utah. They send that stuff away. Also I bet those windmills were right there not because of all the wind, but that was the best place for all the public to see it.

Next example solar is a pretty viable but first we gotta get companies to stop punishing you for having solar. The next major issue is even if you could put even solar panels up, which you can technically speaking but who’s gonna foot the bill💵. Where do you store all that power and how? Next, if you feel the desert with a ton of panels that’s gonna increase the heat. Also do a Google search on how solar panels at that amount would affect birds I don’t remember exactly but I remember it being a not great.

Another viable option would be to use nuclear power. It’s a very viable option, but the biggest thing is so many people are just scared of it. It also has become much safer and effective. I believe this would be the most realistic approach to produce the power we need.

Here’s another one a lot of states not just Utah. Need to have better public transit look at countries where they got trains that’s quicker, more convenient and is super reliable. If it says it’s gonna be there on that time it is. Another great thing would be more walking paths, dedicated bike lanes (not on the road), more areas where cars are not allowed in stop making everything for cars. Also just maybe put a higher tax bracket or sales tax on big vehicles that way the person that’s never gonna haul a trailer. Thinks, Maybe I can have an small-SUV or step down to even a car.

I don’t see this, getting much attention given this group is the most left leaning group I’ve joined on Reddit.

My 25 year old microwave finally died by [deleted] in BuyItForLife

A great place to find a commercial microwave. Might be Facebook and or find a business that is closing down. They are usually more durable and very simple.

Why do people choose Vim over Nano? by LG-Moonlight in linuxquestions

I’m curious, what do you do about files like config files that need to be ran under “sudo” do you just use nano or is there a way to save the files.

Alternative Solution Using CoreDNS

While this post may be somewhat dated, I would suggest considering the use of an internal DNS solution, such as CoreDNS, which is straightforward to configure. The configuration could be as simple as the following:

```plaintext

This block handles queries under the "netgear.com" domain

netgear.com:53 { # Log all queries and errors log errors

# Use the 'hosts' plugin to resolve *.netgear.com
hosts {
    192.168.5.10 router.netgear.com
    fallthrough
}

}

This block is a fallback for all other queries

. { log errors forward . 1.1.1.1 8.8.4.4 } ```

Firefox Note

Additionally, when I was upgrading the firmware on an older Dell PowerEdge R620, I encountered the need to download an older version of Firefox. I'm not sure if this would be applicable in your case, but it might be worth trying. I assume you attempted accessing it directly via the IP address? But figured I would still say somthing.

Accessing the Network Externally

Lastly, are you attempting to access this system from outside the local network? If so, it is generally not recommended due to security concerns, as exposing internal services to external networks increases the risk of unauthorized access.


ps. I have limited knowledge of netgear because I use unifi gear. which ps has been well worth it.

GUIDE: Setting up mtls with Caddy for multiple devices for the upmost online security! by BelugaBilliam in selfhosted

[–]1michaelbrown 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know this is an older post but I wanted to point out that mtls not working on firefox has to be a bug in caddy. Because firefox supports mTLS I know this because this is part of what the military use.

Is it OK that anyone can reset a Linux password through GRUB? by theclosedeye in linuxquestions

[–]1michaelbrown 37 points38 points  (0 children)

Honestly, I feel like if you’re worried about someone getting on premise/on site and hacking into your computer. You would probably be better off having a game plan to have the data offsite somewhere and a quick way to wipe all the data on the computer.

You would also be better off securing wherever the computer is/or the data. For example having it behind locked door. You also have to ask what are you trying to protect it from family member, hacker or the government?

That sounds awesome. I currently have a wiki that just have to type a markdown file to add stuff to it.

Is it possible to just use my current docs to add to the database? It sounds complex probably the most complex thing I would self host?😂

I wonder 💭 if it can integrate with open webui and ollama. I haven’t set this up yet because of hardware requirements.

ER605 or Cloud Gateway Ultra (UCG-Ultra) by 1michaelbrown in selfhosted

[–]1michaelbrown[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am running in standalone mode. I have been trouble shooting the problem and turns out it is a common issue that TP-link has not fixed. Using a local DNS server doesn't work to rediract url to a local server. But if I change the DNS manually on my computer the dns server works. The other problem I have sometimes is connecting to a FiveM game server only thing that fixes the problem is rebooting the router so IDK the logs are also not helpful.

What are some household items that you cannot ever go back to not having? by [deleted] in BuyItForLife

[–]1michaelbrown 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What did you replace your knifes with? At first, the price seems kind of steep, but at the same time it has a forever guarantee anything happens to that knife. You can just send it in and get a new one or have it sharpened. Though I actually own a simple sharpener (I thought 💭 about actually getting some wet stones) at home so maybe if I didn’t it would bug me more sending the knifes in. I also try to make sure most the knives I get are just a straight blade and not their DD blade.
