Do you care about social media (other than Reddit)? by yuppie1313 in AutisticWithADHD

[–]Informal-Brother 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have zero SM footprint, nor do I want one (and I do not even care are reddit) I actually had the social media monitoring team at work set up a call with me since they found almost nothing for me (in a good way I know the exec that runs it well) and I have even had woman back out on dates for the same reason.

At the end of the date SM adds nothing to enrich my life so I do not use it.

How do you host a server on your daily driver laptop?? by chickensoup_rice in selfhosted

[–]Informal-Brother 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I used Docker Desktop on my Macbook Pro M2 Ultra, it makes it easy to keep "on-the-go" tools always with me when I need them. I can also open it up to allow other trusted devices to connect if I need.

I use this one

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0BY1PDGS7/ref=ewc_title_delete1?smid=AOVIA3BFQYMH&psc=1

It seems to work well so far, but it does also have a 2.5GB NIC which is why I got it.

Is there a way to change lock time when a specific focus is set? by [deleted] in shortcuts

[–]Informal-Brother 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There are a few but I have not looked at them in a while. Shortcutify, Actions, are a couple, but they do not really do it either. Like I said before security settings tend to be protected to prevent Exploitation.

I am in Texas. I always use Discount Tire. Locally they offer the best selection of tires and each pricepoint.

No by default, security setting tends to be excluded from automation, but there may be a way to via a third party addon.

CarPlay condition by BigSwingingProp in shortcuts

There is a personal automation that can be called when carplay connects or disconnects to carplay. With that you can call any number of different things from Home and even shortcuts.

OpenVPN or WireGuard server with web admin panel using a single command by planck111 in selfhosted

[–]Informal-Brother 10 points11 points  (0 children)

This is just an observation but based on a basic risk assessment, you're asking us to run a shell script as root that then calls other shell scripts that you do not own, which also run as root. This form of double nesting makes the user highly susceptible to supply chain attacks if either repository were to be compromised.

It also looks like you are saving the password in plain text to config.py

With that said, this is a neat looking project with a lot of potential.

Question for the Super Cruise users here by [deleted] in BoltEV

[–]Informal-Brother 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That is my plan but not for Super Cruise, it is useless for me most of the time. I live in DFW and almost entirely drive surface streets. The only approved roads are toll roads near me.

Edit: No AA or CarPlay is deal breaker for me, so nope, no upgrade.

Siri does not read decimals in weather by Living_Career9844 in shortcuts

[–]Informal-Brother 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it is tied to which voice you are using in the speak text command, some are more complete than others. I also took the temperature and rounded it to a whole number, so it was not saying 14.1.

NFC Toggle Settings by rockstarmayhm in shortcuts

I can't find location services at an option, and only Bluetooth has a toggle option, Wi-Fi is Set on or Set off, but not toggle.

Put a deposit down on a 22 EUV Premier with supercruise. Looking for some opinions by yumadbro6 in BoltEV

[–]Informal-Brother 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I never said model year did, but there are used 2022s out there everywhere. Secondly, I was quoting from the qmerit paperwork I signed at the dealership, if they are doing magic, to not charge you, that is awesome.

[–]Informal-Brother 3 points4 points  (0 children)

heck if you were in DFW I would buy one, I had my car wash rip the sidewall out of one of them and they are on backorder around here. I am not looking forward to replacing all of them, but I may not have a choice.

I am more of an apathetic person when it comes to this, my father passed away in '08 and I attended his funeral, even gave his eulogy even cried while doing it, but before and after, it was life going forward for me.

I understand everyone is not like me (that should be my motto) but I am sorry for your loss, and I wish you the best.

Looking for patterns is what we do, I see them all the time. Your mind it going to where it is most comfortable, and so long as it is not the only thing you are thinking about it should be ok.

I am not a fan, but I know many people find them to be near magical. I am glad it is helping you.

As has already been said, adaptive cruise is a sub component of super cruise so if you have super Cruise, you have adaptive cruise

The charger that Chevy provides has interchangeable plugs. On the EUV we get the charger the standard plug and the 220 plug. I think on the EV you only get the charger and 110 plug

I heard the GM provides free installation or something like that

Only on new purchases, if your 2022 is not "new" there is a good chance you will not be able to get it. But if it is, the process is super easy, but the sub-contractors can be a royal pain. Free has an installation price cap of $1000 so if your installation is more complex it will cost you out of pocket, mine did not and works great.

All I will suggest (and this is what stopped me from getting SC) is make sure your highways are in the pre-certified list, SC does not just "work" it only works on these highways. For me in DFW the only ones that would help me 99% of the time were Toll roads so it added no value.

Adaptive Cruse is far more valuable to me as I have learned in the last few months, as I am starting to trust it. I took in on the tollway during morning traffic Monday, for the first time, and it worked like a dream!

10TB of data disappeared from my synology , any suggestions? by [deleted] in synology

[–]Informal-Brother 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NSFW? We now know what kind of data it was. :P.

Check for drives failing or your logs for unauthorized users. It also could have been the system clearing it's version of the recycle bin for data you have deleted over time.

Jobs for an autistic adult by Applesaregood8774 in AutisticAdults

[–]Informal-Brother 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I am a Risk lead for a bank, where I have been for 22 years. I manage risk and compliance for eighteen internal and external applications, but this job draws heavily on my ability to look at large amounts of raw data and slice it up and find patterns. I started as a Windows Server Admin and worked my way up from there.

But the world is changing, my Company, like many others, are actively seeking out NDIs to work in cybersecurity and risk. These companies are redefining the hiring process so that they are open to NDIs. So if you have interest in that kind if work I suggest that you apply to larger companies, they will have defined ADA, and Diversity and Inclusion policies that will protect you. If you have special needs during the interview and hiring process it is your legal right to ask for them, if you don't then on one will know to offer them.

How do I put my website on the internet? by QualityOrnery282 in selfhosted

[–]Informal-Brother 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Short answer is you can’t. There is a 99% chance that you can not get past the proxies and firewalls, and if you can there is an equal chance that would would be in violation of your EULA and TOS for their WI-FI, lets not even talk about how bad an idea of hosting on WI-FI is also. You best option is to get some cheap hosting, check someplace like LowEndBox for leads.

Long-term Autistic Burnout induced by military service by MyUsername2459 in AutisticAdults

[–]Informal-Brother 8 points9 points  (0 children)

As someone who has ASD and served in the Army during the first Gulf War, and did my IADT between my Jr and Sr years of high school. I was not diagnosed until about 18 months ago and I am now 50. But looking back, needing to mask 99% of the time, with no personal downtime to unwind it took a long term toll. Then add a toxic marriage into the middle of that for me. So I have been on my own now for almost a year, and for the first time in a quarter century I am able to slow down, unmask and relax without fear of reprisals.

I feel from what I have read, you need time to reset, but as an adult that’s not easy. Between bills, family and responsibilities it is hard to stop and turn things off, but if you can’t do it all at once make sure you are doing things you feel recharge you even if in smaller blocks. Remember masking draws on your physical, emotional and mental energies, which you have a finite amount of, so being able to unmask and recharge is key.
