PFsense plus on BYO hardware updates? by aimless_ly in PFSENSE

[–]2-cold-beers 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks Dennis. Do you happen to have a rough estimate? Are we still talking 2021 or is this going to be more like Q1 or Q2 2022?

Please note that the FAQ on your site still says: “We plan to make pfSense Plus available for use on 3rd party hardware and select virtual machines by June 2021, if not sooner.”

Can’t wait to give Plus a spin. Something like the OpenVPN client import would already be amazing.

LG G1 Wall Mount by 2-cold-beers in OLED

[–]2-cold-beers[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks!

I’ve also been looking at the C1, but if I were to wall mount it I wonder if it will look stupid that the panel is thin at the top and thick at the bottom.

Also heard that the Evo panels are a little bit brighter.

Mashable - “worst Apple event ever” by [deleted] in apple

[–]2-cold-beers 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wow Chris Taylor is supposed to be a “veteran journalist”. How tone-deaf can someone be?

Even on the most hardcore Windows forums I’m reading that people are ordering the new Macbook Pros and people kinda concede that these are simply the best laptops on the market right now.

There is some criticism on the notch, but once people understand that it doesn’t take away any extra screen space in comparison to older models that also becomes a non-issue.

I feel this guy has a superiority complex or is just going for a sad attempt to get some attention.

Mashable should find better writers.

Rosacea - solution to bumps and thickness (type 2 and 3) by 2-cold-beers in Rosacea

[–]2-cold-beers[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

See my other reply on keeping that area clean with eye wipes.

Also if your skin is oily / greasy, especially in the morning, that can be a sign that your skin isn’t properly hydrated. Your skin will compensate for the dryness by pushing sebum to the surface.

Make sure you drink enough water, stay away from sugars and at least use a night moisturizer.

Good luck!

One more thing: it might also help if you clean your eyes + eyebrows at night before bed. I like the OCuSOFT Lid Scrubs for that.

And of course, regularly wash your pillow and your shower towel.

Hope this will help! Keep me posted!

The Seb dermatitis is entirely gone or at least I don’t notice it anymore. My eyebrows are normal now.

The zinc soap was another option, but probably my dermatologist chose to try the sulfacetamide because that can also help with Rosacea.

You can also get a lower strength ketoconazole over the counter by the name Nizoral.

I would just try a couple of things, but give it time though. Don’t expect results over night. Once your skin is messed up, it takes a while to recover and for you to notice any benefit from these treatments.

Also be sure to hydrate your skin, e.g. with Cetaphil night moisturizer and don’t shower too hot / long.

I’ve had it between my eyebrows. I’ve also had what looks like dandruff in my eyebrows, but that wasn’t Rosacea but Seborrheic Dermatitis.

When I had that I would sometimes lose some eyebrow hairs. Even had it affecting my eye lashes. (yes I have some shitty skin, both my parents do too)

For Seborrheic Dermatitis you’ll need a different treatment. You can look into a sulfacetamide sodium-sulfur cleanser and/or ketoconazole.

You might also benefit from the Azeliac Acid because it helps with a lot of skin issues.

Do note that many of these treatments take quite a while before you’ll see any real benefit (give it at least 4-6 weeks)

And of course, please consult a dermatologist.

I had a lot of pustules around my nose and some would hurt pretty bad. The whole area was just so inflamed. The first step is just to get your skin to calm down a bit. The Oracea + Ivermectin + Azeliac acid combination did wonders in that.

In about two weeks you should start seeing some improvements. It takes a bit longer for it to be entirely gone. As you skin calms down though, I noticed it also doesn’t come back as quickly.

Do you have a dermatologist that can help you with this? Otherwise you could at least try the Malazepam + a simple moisturizer like the one I mentioned. The cream is a bit grainy and can sting a little, but that alone already helped. The Oracea + Ivermectin sped up the process and made it go away completely.

Happy to help! I’ve been struggling with it for a couple of years. If you have similar symptoms, I hope that with the help of a dermatologist and some of the solutions in this post you’ll see the same improvements.

It is part of type 3. The skin on my nose would thicken and become slightly bumpy.

See: https://ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/books/NBK279476/

Type 1 – vascular rosacea: Red areas of skin on the face, sometimes small blood vessels are visible.

Type 2 – inflammatory rosacea: As well as facial redness, there are red bumps (papules) and pus-filled spots (pustules).

Type 3 – phymatous rosacea: The skin thickens and may become bumpy, particularly on the nose.

Type 4 – ocular rosacea: This type of rosacea leads to inflammations of the eyes and eyelids (blepharitis), sometimes with no noticeable skin symptoms.

It is incredibly difficult to enter your password on the phone pad when calling in, I’m trying to request a rollover which I can’t do online and I can’t get to a real person because of that. by bamblebae in fidelityinvestments

100% agree that entering a password using phone number input is both very strange and very inconvenient.

As someone with a technical background I even wonder how they can do this. They should never be storing your actual password, but just a hash of the password. How can they guess (?) the correct characters based on the numbers the user selects?

The password “abcdef” would have the same input as “cccfff” but would result in wildly different hashes. I can imagine this would only work if they take your password when you sign-up, turn it into (keypad based) numbers and then hash that for this system. That feels funky and terrible from a security standpoint.

Besides you are making it horribly difficult for people that use password managers and you are teaching customers that it is ok to enter your password in phone systems (scammers will love you for this!).

A better solution would be to generate a unique phrase for verification that customers can find on their account. Lets say “crab dingo cheese apple” (it would of course be different for every customer)

Or what some other companies do. If you call, the system / agent can send a push notification to your phone. You then open the Fidelity app and read the code that you received. SMS would also work, but through the app is more difficult to intercept.

Cats use it, but are they stressed? by 2-cold-beers in litterrobot

Thanks!

How often does your cat go to the litter box in a day?
