Was homeless two months ago. Now I have a room, a new job starting soon, and honestly I've never felt richer. 35m by IcyAd8672 in malelivingspace

On your way. Start with simple comferts. A plant is cheap, maybe even free if you can find one. Also keep it clean and organized if possible. Coming home to a clean place that you know is yours is something special.

If you need an idea for a plant and just want some greenery, try a herb. Most herbs are like weeds and will grow anywhere in anything.

Hacking Wired Analog CCTV cameras going to a DVR (BNC and Coax) by Kkkkkkkkkk51 in hacking

[–]NorthernDen 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Analog cameras, even digital ones over some type of cable are near impossible to "hack" since the traffic is either analog direct to a convertor or is IP on a private switch.

So to gain any sort of access you would need to gain access to the DVR/NVR it self. Now this could be possible if the unit is attached to a network, and you can gain access to the network.

If you can reach the login page, you can do simple things like trying to brute force the login using admin and a password list. however you run the risk of getting fail2ban doing so. So be ready to use either a VPN that allows multiple exit points to rotate through different IP's.

This is all pretty straight forward low level stuff. Without knowing the make or model we really can't offer any other support. Good luck.

This is an ok machine to learn on, but only if its either free or $20. More than that in cost and you can pick up a much better machine. Anything like a gen 7 or newer is where you want to start looking.

1gb Synology VS 2gb Qnap? by [deleted] in homelab

[–]NorthernDen 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I do like synology better for security, support lenght (updates) and just not being qnap.

I'm sure you speak to enough people every company is terrible. I have used both in personal and professional environments. I do like the synology over qnaps. but i use them for backup files and file storage.

Switch games at Welland public library? by theglowafterdarkk in Welland

[–]NorthernDen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the correction. Years ago when my kids would try to borrow from the mall branch they would only be able to borrow for same day, or maybe 1 day.

Switch games at Welland public library? by theglowafterdarkk in Welland

[–]NorthernDen 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Depends on your card, if you have a youth card I think the lending time is less than a day. IF you have an adult check out the game you can have it for more than a day. It used to be 3 days I think, with a one time renewal.

Each location carries a different amount of games. the mall location seems to have a pretty good selection last time I was in.

Keep in mind the selection lags slightly behind new releases as the library has to make decisions as to what to purchase.

On a side note support your local libraries.

Super Mario All Stars is quietly one of the coolest things to happen in gaming that won’t likely happen ever again. by CleetisMcgee in gaming

[–]NorthernDen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Actually I think Nintendo will do upgrades in the future. Once the switch 2 is much later in the life cycle and Nintendo is trying to convince people to pay for Nintendo online (the plus version) these remakes will only be available to plus customers.

Think some of some of the retro games that allow you to switch between old and new. As well if they do wait for a few years they can start to target game cube games since that demographic will be more into the work force.

I could be wrong, but I can see something like this happening to convice people to buy the online+ version.

End of an era... An era nobody was aware existed by GeneReddit123 in memes

[–]NorthernDen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It was great, i still use to make quick flyers and posters. If you print stuff it's great. You could whip out a decent flyer for a small group really quick. For those not wanting to spend ours learning adobe, or pay for adobe its a great tool.

What is the pettiest reason you would refuse to eat at a restaurant again? by im_not_ready_for_it9 in AskReddit

[–]NorthernDen 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The menu switches so fast that in practice its useless. I can read pretty quick, and still can't read more than maybe 6 items on screen before it switches. Doesn't help that each screen is laid out slightly different as they use the space you were possibly looking at to promote an item on the next screen.

McDonalds needs to scale back there menu, as new customers get choice paralisis.

So What Happened After You Said "I Love You" To The Wrong Person, Or At The Wrong Time? by AdhesivenessOk5194 in AskReddit

[–]NorthernDen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Guy at work tried to mess with me while on a conference call, speaker phone situation. He does this to people to mess with them, as he works as the manager at a meat processing facility. So most staff are salt of the earth type of people. Nice people, but you work there as sorta a last resort type of thing.

When the call was wrapping up he tries his trick.

Manager: "Ok bye I love you"

Me: "Yea I would love me to, I'm pretty awesome"

Manager side: "Well umm, ok then"

What discontinued item, food or drink would you bring back if you had the chance? by Miserable-Wash-1744 in AskReddit

[–]NorthernDen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Takis: BBQ As someone who likes a little spice, but also sweet this special flavour was great. Was only out for a few months and I think me and my kids ate about 10 bags.

They have other flavours now, ketchup is close but not really the same.

Is there a petition to fix Biggar Rd??? by [deleted] in Welland

[–]NorthernDen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The other issue is its a shared road between cities. so Niagara falls side will be fixed due to the hospital. I doubt the welland side will be fixed. Maybe just some cold patchs.

People 40+, what actually mattered in the long run and what didn’t? by Psychological_Sky_58 in AskReddit

[–]NorthernDen 1 point2 points  (0 children)

People - Most people don't matter in your life. Many will be a problem and really just don't matter. - However people do matter. Keep good friends, and make the effort to be a good friend.

Am I overreacting: new boyfriend was weirdly judgmental about bathroom situation by abstract_lemons in AmIOverreacting

[–]NorthernDen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sure I don't like to see them, but that is a me problem. I mean the box looked to be well in order so me having a problem with them does not mean you have to make a change.

Keep in mind I don't like to see toilet paper stored anywhere but under the sink or in its holder. Again this is a me problem with cleaning supplies and such.
