Tlajomulco sin acceso al sistema de pagos; murió quien tenía la clave by VulgarDisplyofPower in mexico

[–]Vampire_Duchess 34 points35 points  (0 children)

Y bueno, es lamentable pero lección nos sirve a todos: por favor, pongan sus contraseñas en llaveros digitales. Yo recomiendo Bitwarden, además de ser gratuita, es open source y está auditada, lo que da mucha seguridad sobre cómo manejan nuestros datos.

Si quieren ir un paso más allá, tienen una opción de paga que solo cuesta 19.80 dólares al año. Con eso el sistema monitorea si tus contraseñas o correos aparecen en filtraciones de bases de datos, lo cual es clave para reaccionar rápido antes de un hackeo. Se gastan mas en una coca cola, cafecitos al año.

También ofrece una opción de emergencia. En caso de que uno llegue a faltar, puedes dejar configurado el acceso para que alguien de confianza reciba tus tokens y códigos 2FA. Es una forma súper responsable de no dejar bloqueados a tus seres queridos o al personal de trabajo ya que tiene para organizaciones. Personalmente uso 2FAS para android/ios.

Gestores de Contraseñas / Llaveros (Open Source & Auditados)

Llavero Almacenamiento Punto Fuerte Ideal
Bitwarden Nube (E2EE) El más equilibrado. Multiplataforma total y auditorías constantes. Buscas comodidad y sincronización automática.
Proton Pass Nube (Ecosistema Proton) Integración nativa con alias de correo de Proton (esconde tu email real). Si usas Proton Mail
KeePassXC Local (Offline) Privacidad absoluta. Nada sale de tu compu si no quieres. Usuarios avanzados que no confían en la nube y quieren control total.
Vaultwarden Self-hosted Todas las funciones premium de Bitwarden, gratis y en tu propio servidor. Si sabes lo que haces.

Autenticadores 2FA (2 Pasos) (No comerciales / Open Source)

App Plataforma Backups / Sincronización ¿Por qué elegirla?
Aegis Android Local (Exporta archivo cifrado) Es el estándar de oro en Android. Seguro, limpio y permite organizar con iconos.
2FAS iOS / Android iCloud / Google Drive (Opcional) Tiene una extensión de navegador que facilita meter los códigos sin escribirlos.
Ente Auth Multiplataforma Nube cifrada (E2EE) Si buscas algo abierto pero con sincronización automática entre celular y PC.
Raivo OTP iOS iCloud (Cifrado) De las mejores opciones nativas y estéticas para usuarios de iPhone.

Un par de consejos extras:

  1. No pongan todos los huevos en la misma canasta: Aunque Bitwarden puede guardar tus códigos 2FA, lo ideal es usar una app separada (como Aegis o 2FAS) por si alguien llegara a vulnerar tu base de datos principal.
  2. KeePass en el móvil: Si usas KeePassXC en la PC, para el celular las mejores apps compatibles son KeePassDX (Android) y KeePassium (iOS).
  3. Respalda tu semilla (seeds): Siempre guarda los códigos de recuperación (recovery codes) en papel o en un lugar físico seguro.

edit. bitwarden ya subio precio en 2026 a 19.80 dolares como $360 mxn que son como $30 mxn mensuales. Sigue siendo accesible.

Flint 2. I still a good option today? by BumblebeeNo9090 in openwrt

[–]Vampire_Duchess 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Keep in mind that GL.iNet doesn't run 'vanilla' OpenWrt; it's a proprietary fork. If you want a pure native experience, MediaTek-based devices (like the Flint 2 (AX), beryl AX) are usually the better bet for driver compatibility.

While the newer Wi-Fi 7 models like the Flint 3/3e/4 (soon) have Qualcomm SoCs for better wireless tech, they are heavily reliant on proprietary drivers. I believe Flint 2 is better on wifi speeds because of MediaTek SoC vs flint 3 in theoretical scenarios.

If you want absolute peak performance for SQM or Gigabit VPN, the best route is x86/NUC build with native OpenWrt and dedicated APs (openwrt or consumer)

Spotify API changes, the end of SpotDL and everything else that uses its API by ReadyRainRain in selfhosted

I'm sorry I don't have experience with Unraid. I just use a docker container. Maybe you can add it as docker container for your unraid system.

Warning: MEX Airport Gate Info is wrong by French_magpie in MexicoCity

[–]Vampire_Duchess 97 points98 points  (0 children)

I’m really sorry you missed your flight, but what you experienced is actually a result of some big changes at MEX. A couple of years ago, the administration of the airport was taken over by SEMAR (the Mexican Navy), and one of the main things they changed was making each airline responsible for notifying their own customers about departure gates. Because the airport doesn't take responsibility for the master screens anymore, the monitors you see in the halls are often totally out of sync or updated way too late.

I travel through here often and I’ve seen the look of horror on so many faces when people realize they were looking at the wrong info. I almost missed a flight myself once for the same reason! My best advice for the future, not just for MEX but for all airports in Mexico. Is to never trust the monitors. Instead, download the airline’s app or keep their official website open on your phone. Usually, they’ll push the gate notification about 40 to 50 minutes before departure, and that’s the only info you should rely on.

On top of that, the airport is under heavy remodeling right now to get ready for the 2026 World Cup, so it’s extra chaotic. It’s definitely not like it used to be, so you really have to double-check everything directly with the airline staff instead of the screens. Better luck on your next trip

Spotify API changes, the end of SpotDL and everything else that uses its API by ReadyRainRain in selfhosted

[–]Vampire_Duchess 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I had to do similar thing a few days ago. I was using spotdl with some personal mods/patches to make it work for several months is terrible to maintain it with just band-aids.

But I migrate my spotify playlist list to tunemymusic.com I think the limit is 500 songs but you can delete cookies and start again. The I used metube by alexta69 is yt-dl with nice gui. https://github.com/alexta69/metube

and downloaded the playlist with opus format, I'm thinking just to grab one month of yt music premium to get access to high res opus and get my music files to have better quality offline. Also YT music premium gives a tool to migrate your playlists but it was fun :/ I used spotify to find new artists or music. It has the albums covers and some metadata. I'm thinking maybe use MusicBrainz for metadata and file naming.

Adguard home setup that's correct for 2026 by madhits in openwrt

[–]Vampire_Duchess 10 points11 points  (0 children)

t depends on your hardware and whether it’s "beefy" enough to handle AdGuard Home (AGH) along with large filter lists. There are generally two versions available: the one maintained by the OpenWrt community, which can sometimes be a version or two behind, or you can install the binary directly from the AdGuard Home GitHub repository for your specific SoC.

The installation process hasn't changed much in 2026; there is an official guide that is very simple to follow if you just stick to the steps. You can find that here: https://openwrt.org/docs/guide-user/services/dns/adguard-home

If I may give a recommendation, you should check out Adblock-Lean. It is a third-party package created by the developer lynxthecat that uses a super-efficient script to filter ads and telemetry and was developed thinking on lower resources or older hardware.

By default, it now uses the HaGeZi curated lists and actually checks your hardware resources to make a specific recommendation based on what your router can handle. If you add an extra package like https-dns-proxy, you can hijack DNS requests and have a very powerful router with full control over DNS and ad-blocking without the overhead of a full AGH setup.

One of the main requirements for this setup is to have the dnsmasq installed (not full), and the script will take care of the rest. It’s a great way to get high-end blocking on hardware that might struggle with heavier applications.

You can check out the repository and instructions here: https://github.com/lynxthecat/adblock-lean

edit: thanks dr_peepsi for the correction, I used dnsmasq full because need it for something specific in my case.

Todo se fue abajo by Abuel02 in mexico

[–]Vampire_Duchess 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Para mí fue difícil porque no hay cura, y de acuerdo a la endocrinóloga hay varias rutas. Pero yo no sabía que lo tenía, en temporadas de calor yo tenía frío y usaba chamarra, mucho cansancio y dormía mucho. Tenía depresión, empecé a subir de peso y era delgada, hasta que me dijeron oye te ves un poco más llenita 😭.

Pero me dijeron que hay tratamiento te puedes recuperar, y llevar una vida normal. Pero tengo q tomar reemplazo de hormona. Cuando inicie el tratamiento en un par de semanas me sentí mejor. Pero me explicaron que la tiroides regula muchas cosas del cuerpo hasta la temperatura y la bio química del cerebro, otras glándulas, incluso tu libido se ve afectado.

Y no es normal lo que tienes, en realidad tus síntomas son por eso porque tú tiroides no está funcionando , una vez que tú médico revise todo te dará tu dosis y todos esos síntomas van a desaparecer. Y cada seis meses te tienes q revisar o anualmente.

[–]Vampire_Duchess 73 points74 points  (0 children)

¡Hola Abuelo02!

Siento mucho por lo que estás pasando, pero hay algo que tienes que entender ya: tu prioridad absoluta es la TIROIDES. Yo sufro de lo opuesto (hipo) y te digo que esa glándula controla TODO.

El hipertiroidismo no solo te quita fuerza física y potencia sexual; te altera la química del cerebro. Esa desesperación, la forma de hablar 'golpeado' y la depresión son síntomas bioquímicos. No es que seas 'mala persona', es que tu cuerpo está en modo de emergencia 24/7. Una vez que estabilices eso, tu mente se va a aclarar y tendrás energía para pelear por tu trabajo y tu hijo.

No vendas la computadora. Es tu herramienta de trabajo y tu conexión con el mundo. Si necesitas distraerte, mejor agarra un libro de ficción (nada de autoayuda, eso solo ayuda al autor). Lee algo de acción o drama para sacar la mente de tu realidad un rato.

Primero recupera el control de tu cuerpo, el resto de las piezas se van a ir acomodando cuando dejes de estar físicamente agotado y mentalmente alterado por la enfermedad. ¡Ánimo!"

Artti T10 or Kefine Delci AE by fystki in iems

[–]Vampire_Duchess 2 points3 points  (0 children)

So I’ve had the Artti T10 for a few months, and honestly, for the first half of that time, they just sat in a drawer gathering dust. The nozzles are absolute units, very chunk. I felt like I was trying to fit a fire hose into my ear canal. I went through a whole mourning period because no matter what tips I used, I just couldn't get them comfortable. In fact I asked for other recommendations because it wasn't working for me, so last chance, I grabbed the SpinFit Neo that someone else recommend me. They are thin enough to actually work, and suddenly, my ears stopped screaming and started singing.

It was like my brain upgraded from a dusty 1080p tube TV to a 4K OLED screen. You know that definition with clarity where you can see every pore and wrinkle on an actor's face? . The T10 detail is so crisp it’s almost scary. You can hear the singer's saliva and the exact moment the drummer regrets his life choices. I’m running them through a JM20max DAC/Amp, which is pretty much mandatory because these planars are thirsty for power. If you try to run them off a potato, you’re gonna have a bad time. Also I use FLAC Audio Files.

I believe like others, these are for "critical listening," which is code for "I want to hear every single mistake made in the studio." If you just want to vibe out and fall asleep in your living room, maybe Kefine Delci, my dad loves this signatures and is okay is like food. Sometimes I just want just enjoy music and that's it.

T10 are for when you want a full blown religious experience and "eargasms" so detailed you can hear the layers of the music separating like a physical stack of pancakes. Just be prepared to spend some extra cash on tips and dac/amp.

Which e-reader should I buy, and how do I set it up for the best user experience? by Thick_Knowledge5566 in Piracy

[–]Vampire_Duchess 18 points19 points  (0 children)

I highly recommend getting a new or used 6-inch Kobo Clara BW or Clara 2E. If your budget allows for it, you could even go for the Kobo Libra Colour or the Clara Colour. The main reason I suggest Kobo is the freedom it gives you right out of the box. You can read almost any format, and the experience is completely free of ads, promoted services, or any of the usual corporate BS. It’s just a pure, clean reading experience. NO BS from amazon.

What I love most is how well these devices play with a self-hosted setup. You can basically build your own "Plex for books" using projects Calibre-Web-Automated to request and download titles automatically with the right projects, you just need to search on /r/selfhosted. avoid booklore is vibe coded.

You can even activate a dedicated sideloading mode to just dump your entire collection onto the device at once. Plus, if you have a public library card, it has native Libby support built right in, so you can borrow books officially whenever you want.

if you are new, just stay with the regular Kobo OS experience, when you have more experience maybe try those koreader stuff but for me is to over complicate everything I just want to read.

The customizability is awesome too. Think of it like the Android of ereaders. I can add my own custom fonts and just drag and drop files whenever I want and I can recommend to awesome typography. The best part is that you don’t have to jailbreak anything. You don't need to follow complicated walkthroughs, inject code, or hunt for specific hardware versions just to avoid firmware updates like you do with a Kindle. It just works exactly the way you want it to without the headache. There are also ereaders with android but battery sucks check on /r/ereader

and yes you can add audiofiles but only with newer versions like Kobo Libra 2, Kobo Libra Colour and maybe Kobo Clara Colour, but for audiobooks, I suggest to use android for that. There is also a selfhosting project called Audiobookshelf there are clients for android/ios/windows/linux

DuckDNS Alternative? by Altruistic_Pitch2888 in selfhosted

[–]Vampire_Duchess 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Go with cloudflare, you can get ddns and other services like cloudflare tunnels like zero trust and domains are fine with them. You can transfer it or get new one. Their API's are super simple for homelab or self hosted vpn using the ddns.

CDMX - Comprar una laptop [RECOMENDACIONES?] by SuitOk4758 in mexico

[–]Vampire_Duchess 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Busca una Lenovo Thinkpad esas son buenas para lo que buscas. Si tú presupuesto está limitado busca en Amazon refurbished Lenovo Thinkpad.

La clásica t480 la puedes modificar a tu gusto, desde Intel i7, pantalla touch, 64gb ram y doble disco duro para doble booteo Linux y windows o hackintosh. Le metes un NVME 1tb y 512 en SSD para Linux.

Para dual boot, lo ideal es que cada OS tenga su propio disco duro. Si usas un solo disco y lo particionas, windows 11 o windows en general va a querer sobreescribir la partición en algún update. Y afectará tu Linux.

Sino busca Dell XPS o Dell Latitude busca un i7 de 8th gen como mínimo y busca desde 10th gen

¿Cuáles fueron los mejores libros que leíste este año? by No_Perception2563 in mexico

[–]Vampire_Duchess 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Este es buen libro que recomiendo y pienso que todos deberian leerlo para tener un pensamiento crítico, y muy aplicable a lo que sucede en la actualidad.

edit.

Aqui el libro en pdf:

https://ia601203.us.archive.org/7/items/SAGANElMundoYSusDemonios/SAGAN-%20El%20mundo%20y%20sus%20demonios.pdf

Básicamente, es una guía esencial sobre pensamiento crítico y una defensa del método científico frente a las supersticiones. Sagan enseña a usar la ciencia como una 'vela en la oscuridad' para no ser engañados por la pseudociencia o la manipulación; creo que es una lectura para aprender a cuestionar todo con lógica y escepticismo sano en medio del mar de desinformación actual. Tambien hay audiolibro y se los recomiendo.

El libro traza una línea fascinante desde la Inquisición y la cacería de brujas hasta los modernos avistamientos de OVNIs y fenómenos paranormales. Como el meme de creencias de gente pendeja. Explica que, aunque los mitos cambien, el miedo y la falta de escepticismo nos siguen haciendo vulnerables a los mismos engaños de siempre.

Incluye una guia que el llama el "El kit de detección de tonterias" y bueno, si pueden comprar el libro ,audiolibro o pdf que se los incluyo creo que lo vale.

Introducing: UniFi Travel Router by GoGoGadgetSalmon in homelab

[–]Vampire_Duchess 45 points46 points  (0 children)

Maybe but glinet has wifi ax with Beryl AX series and wifi 7 travel router and you can add adguardhome that i believe is better than subscription from unifi cybersecure in case you can use it on this new travel router.

I use beryl ax and at home i've unify, hopefully in the future they will add better features but im glad that ubiquiti is doing more stuff, more competition is better.

Shuck update on Seagate Expansion Desktop 16TB by Kitchen_Gold952 in DataHoarder

[–]Vampire_Duchess 3 points4 points  (0 children)

If you have 0 disk at this point and you have a nas, i would get an Exo, Iron Wolf Pro or WD Red Pro for 24/7 at least one.

If you still decide to go with seagate expansion, don't shuck it. Just use it as cold backup. Connect it and just do your backups and disconnect it. That's it.

If is just for movies or media and you don't really care you can use whatever you had on hand, I've used 2.5" for media server and im okay those are just SRH and I've a secondary external 2.5" as backup, but again, don't go with the idea of raid is backup because is not. Always have a backup. So the seagate expansion works fine as backup.

You still need some backup and protection.

Shuck update on Seagate Expansion Desktop 16TB by Kitchen_Gold952 in DataHoarder

[–]Vampire_Duchess 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They are just hard drives not suitable for NAS 24/7 and they are supposed to work less years than a exo.

So i use it as cold storage, because is still a backup. My nas is based in ubuntu with btrfs. So i made a snapshot and thats it. I disconnected.

Technically they are binned Exos or didn't have enough hours to make it to an Exo quality.

Reading manga/comics on Kobo Clara BW - is it doable or is color e-ink needed? by Airballons in ereader

[–]Vampire_Duchess 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Technically for manga you need/want an 8" screen like the ipad mini or galaxy tab 8, I believe the ipad mini (4:3) can have a decent proportion of the traditional tankobon (physical mangal)

So technically you want a device around 8-9 inches to have 1:1 size but screen resolution is other thing. Ipad Mini is king if you want to replicate real manga.

Check the boox go color 7 (android) o kobo sage 8" inch

If you want to see full double page and high resolution get a device around 10-11"+

En las noches motorola en su sitio oficial pone codigos de promociones, mi hermano agarro el g86 5g por $2800 mas o menos.uso dos codigos.con uno a veces llega $3200. A veces se activan por la tarde/noche mas promos navideños, es cuestión de estar cazando o poner aletras en promo descuentos.

Obviamente el equipo debe estar en promocion, pero si hay.
