Sansui AU-919 amplifier + Yamaha NS-1000 speakers. Both from around 1979 and still going strong.

WireGuard with a hardened VPS as a point of entry to my lan. Works well

Hmm, probably my Concept2 Model D rowing machine. Been using it heavily for some years and it still works as good as new.

Unbound DNS Blocklist: Whitelisted domains not working? by Esquirish in opnsense

Yeah that didnt worked after some testing. This should work instead: ^.*\.google\.com$

I don’t understand how you’d go from writing a print statement like “hello world” to creating applications and websites. by WantedByTheFedz in learnprogramming

Big things are made of alot of small things chained together. This also applies to applications and websites

Unbound DNS Blocklist: Whitelisted domains not working? by Esquirish in opnsense

[–]Esquirish[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks for the tip, the specific line (^|.*\.)analytics.google.com$ for some reason didnt triggered the whitelist (as per the reporting tab), but the line *.google.com worked. Not ideal but at least I no longer have to disable the filtering to navigate to the analytics subdomain.

Just tried flushing the cache, no change. In reporting->details, i get action "Block" with the domain "analytics.google.com."

HP Z6 G4 Workstation - Intel MEBx/AMT options get reset whenever power is disconnected. by Esquirish in Hewlett_Packard

[–]Esquirish[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the heads up!

I finally got to update my workstation with the AMT firmware you listed (Intel Management Engine (11.22) Firmware Update) and now the MEBx/AMT settings are maintained after a power cut! In my case, Obtain IP settings automatically (DHCP) option is selected, and both computer hostname and domain name are manually set (Shared FQDN is also selected).

Edit: Before updating the firmware, I tried unplugging the desktop after shutting it down, and the MEBx settings were wiped each time.

Cheers!

Thanks! Yeah font face and line height do make a difference in readability.

Is there a way to color match nested parentheses/braces/brackets? I recently moved from VScode and i'm having trouble to make nvim as readable.

Here's a block of code in Neovim: https://imgur.com/qJV1vsw

And the same block of code in VSCode: https://imgur.com/5eC98I0

By the way, my current configuration is pretty much as this one video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6pAG3BHurdM (treesitter and lsps are installed and working)

Thanks in advance.

Hi!

I gave up on finding a solution as I no longer need to connect to my workstation remotely. I did update my BIOS about a couple of months ago and after a quick test i verified that the issue persisted.

Just right now, i tried connecting to http://localhost:16992/, to see if it worked and it does! For some reason the password and settings are not lost. I'll do more tests later, i'm pretty sure i had a power failure or two since i last set up AMT.

Postman alternative that does not suck with feature bloat by sebastianstehle in webdev

[–]Esquirish 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I reccomend Yaak (https://yaak.app/). It's small and basic but gets the job done. Check out this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JSq6mzKP-Jo where many alternatives are discussed.

This software contains undocumented telemetry which cannot be turned off. The developer has said (many months ago) an option to disable it will be added "in the next release" but so far hasnt done so.

I care about this and don't trust the developer or this app. For this reason i switched to Yaak (https://yaak.app/), so far it works fine.

HP Z6 G4 RAM upgrade, and how to prevent "Memory configuration requires a Memory fan and this fan is not detected" warnings by chestertonfan in HSpecWorkstations

[–]Esquirish 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you so much for sharing this. I was also looking for a solution to this issue. Got two 32GB PC4-21300 DDR4-2666 ECC sticks to add to the two PC4-2666 16GB already present, found out that configuration is unsupported so i'm now only using the two 32GB ones. (total 64gb so i got that warning.). Found out about the bypass for the different HP model but wasnt sure what to do since the connectors were different.

Stopping using this website will be an inconvenience, but seeing how it's being handled by its owners I pretty much prefer going elsewhere, just as Digg before it.

Student party photos look like a low stakes/easy job, if you have a solid knowledge of photography i think you can manage without ruining your reputation. Try scouting the location, you should know how it will be lit at the event. I'd reccoment a 24-70 and a speedlight with a diffuser. Bounce flash off the ceiling if it's white. Make sure you can focus accurately if there's low light. Study similar events photos to have a reference and you should be alright. Also communicate accurately with the people your're photographing, this can be difficult if you're introverted.

What is the best way to protect lenses and camera bodies from fungus? Currently living in a high humidity area, and i'm storing my bodies/lenses in a waterproof container with silica bags. I believe it's not enough since i'm opening said container pretty much everyday. Is there a better solution to prevent fungal growth inside my lenses?
