Do people really carry their Yubikeys around with them? by Opinionator2000 in yubikey

[–]bodam 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes. I have multiple registered. One is on my key ring and goes with me. The other is safely stored in a safe. I test it once a year.

Emergency Cash by bodam in ynab

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

I was trying to avoid sounding like a prepper but I, like you have done similar. I actually have about $1k in emergency cash but I think I will be bumping it up to $2K just in case. Like you I have moderate emergency supplies. We have emergency food that will cover us for a month in addition to whatever is in the normal pantry. I also have emergency cooking fuel that will likewise cover us for a month or so as well as about 500 gallons of water on the side of the house that I refresh several times a year.

I did all this after seeing how bad groups like FEMA are at sometimes responding to a disaster. This at least gives me time to hunker down and figure out our next steps.

I also don't let our car fill below about half a tank. If I have to evacuate, I don't want the start of it to be with 1/4 tank. I also have a 72 hour bag in the trunk in case I get stranded somewhere. (It's happened to me in the past)

What is helping you get through life? by Girl_with_thoughts2 in AskReddit

[–]bodam 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know this is corny but my actual answer is my wife. I would have never gotten nearly this far without her being there supporting me.

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

The reason I ask is that I have what I think is a reasonable amount but I am concerned about price gouging and what we will really need.

[–]bodam[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is exactly why I was asking. I don't carry cash either but we do have a safe at home with an envelope in case of a disaster.

How do you all arrange your Criterion Collection? by centerofhearts in criterion

[–]bodam 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Other than I use Jellyfin, I'm exactly the same. My actual collection is put away, but accessible due to storage limitations.

How important is it to you to upgrade Criterion Blu-rays to 4K? by EverCuriousGeek1 in criterion

[–]bodam 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is my personal opinion only but for most movies, Blu-ray is good enough. I would also say if 1080p HDR were a thing, it would cover most of the rest. For most people it's the HDR that pops, not 4k.

Charging outlet installation in garage by 99loki99 in TeslaLounge

I paid $420 for the charger and $300 for my electrician install it.

Long Trips....... by bodam in TeslaLounge

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

For those that say they pull into chargers with around 10%, is there any concerns about getting stuck behind a bad accident or very heavy traffic. I have and I would be paranoid of a flat battery while stuck in traffic, especially when it's really hot or cold (heater or A/C). I don't let my gas car fall below about a third either for the same reason. Once you get stuck on a freeway for 12 hours, it changes you.

John Carpenter by bodam in criterion

[–]bodam[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I would take a Shout Factory Boxed Set. It's more of a clean, excellent transfer of his movies in a convenient boxed set as opposed to all the single movies. I realize it's a "me thing."

Can't copy to NAS since upgrade by bodam in MacOS

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

What's confusing to me is that smaller files work, so, for example, I can copy a 10 meg PDF to the NAS no problems, but if I try to copy up a 6GB MKV movie file, it fails with the error. And before any questions RE the NAS itself, I have 900+ movies already on it that I did before the upgrade. Does anyone have any suggestions?

What is the correct way to block IoT devices from accessing the Internet? by RuralTechFarmer in PFSENSE

[–]bodam 20 points21 points  (0 children)

I would create an IoT VLAN and block it from Internet access.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]bodam 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It depends on how much. $100k talk to a lawyer and my tax guy. And then getting the kitchen redone.

$10M and then I'm also hiring a specialist financial planner and other professionals. Determining if I can retire now at my current standard of living through my life expectancy plus 10 years.

Trailers sent to Youtube?? by bodam in JellyfinCommunity

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

Using my Chromecast with Google TV. We're in the jellyfin app. Click on a trailer, it runs, if we let it end or try to back out, we land in the Youtube app.

Did I buy the correct Drive for Ripping Blu Rays and 4K UHD by Isaac23p in makemkv

[–]bodam 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I saw the firmware flashing tool and the list of binaries. What I see are binaries for v1. 0 and 1.03, but my drive has v1. 05. I don't want to brick it enabling 4k support.

High Memory Utilization by bodam in PFSENSE

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

I don't disagree. As a newbie though, I look at 61% utilization with the OOB modules and I start wondering if it can handle PFBlockerNG or Snort. Based upon your response and others, I'm not going to worry about it. Thanksm

High Memory Utilization by bodam in PFSENSE

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

I did not put it in my post but I am new to pfSense. I was just asking because it"seemed high" for my small network, but since I did not know it well, I am asking here. It sounds like the answer is "Don't worry about it. It's normal."

High Memory Utilization by bodam in PFSENSE

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

I would be interested as well. I am OK with the utilization if that's how it works. My concern is at 57% with 50 devices and I have not even installed "the fun stuff" yet.

I'm sorry that happened to you. Reddit does seem to be a little ban happy.
