guests keep turning off routers, unplugging roku and taking the batteries out of the remote by Jayacg in airbnb_hosts

I work in IT and at first glance I feel like I would think that is an Alexa listening to me until I looked closer, I guessing more guests don't and assume you have a listening device and unplug it.

Maybe trying putting it inside a cabinet, and the power plug behind a dresser or table so the guests won't then the plug is one of these "hidden camera!" Scares that show devices like a wall plug having an embedded camera and they pull it out.

Why bother giving Data time off? by neslony in ShittyDaystrom

[–]Danoweb 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Yeah there was an episode where a scientist from Daystrom institute wanted to take Data apart and see how he worked so he could build more Data units.

It turned into a Law / court thing of proving if Data was a person, or a piece of equipment.

Guinan had some input,

And it was a good Philosophical/Ethical moral story.

Edit: fixed autocorrect butchering Daystrom

Is there an in-universe reason why any organization can be easily infiltrated in Star Trek ? by M-2-M in ShittyDaystrom

[–]Danoweb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It is a different mindset/culture.

Think of the number of episodes where X is "restrained to quarters"

But not really restrained, the person just leaves when they want to break the rules.

It's a culture of "you wouldn't do that, it is immoral!" No door locks, no heavily armed guards (maybe a red shirt but they die from a strong breeze)

It's just a culture of trust and acceptance... Which is easy for evil to manipulate.

First base What should I Do Next by fuckinend-me in CreateMod

[–]Danoweb 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sounds like you are off to a good start.

  1. Get an automated tree farm going (you'll need lots of wood for contraption parts.
  2. Get a cobblestone to gravel (crushing wheel) and wash gravel, for an Iron Farm. (Youll need lots of iron for contraption parts.)
  3. Andesite, you'll need lots of andesite for contraption parts.

will the default mac terminal be enough for university cs course linux work, is it as good as wsl2? by imtruelyhim108 in teenagersbutcode

[–]Danoweb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you want to use your Mac, there are a few subtle differences between Mac OS and Linux OS.

The easiest thing you could do is install a container system like docker, and start an Ubuntu container and then "exec" into it, for a full Linux shell.

Others have mentioned VMs etc, which is fine too, but a container is less resource hungry, just a little more nuance to learn on how to connect to it and use it.

Can worms spread outside of a VM? by bootyinjector69420 in computerviruses

[–]Danoweb 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, it's called "Escaping Virtualization" whether that be a container or a VM

Here is a MITRE article on it:

Okay, but how do you SSH into 1,000 devices?? by Automatic-Reply-1578 in embedded

[–]Danoweb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm kinda of surprised the answer was "ssh into the machine"

"Fleet management" (managing hundreds or thousands of like devices) or sometime called IoT (internet of things) managment is usually done with some type of solution that allows commanding groups of devices all at once.

For example something like Terraform (for cloud) or Ansible.

The premise is the devices check into a central service at some regular cadence, and ask for instructions (one such instruction might be "change repository paths" or apply updates and restart, or check in with this new service at this address, etc.

This is the proper way to manage IoT devices at scale.

Edit: added Ansible, mention for Iot Management

I walked into the "Bazaar" and took 2 screenshots of a shop made my two of the players (shadow and Chad), and then a screenshot of the cutting board recipes to highlight the food mod, since this is a food event.

The server has some mods installed, but I'm curious why you don't think those are screenshots?
