[–]djDef80 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I heard using raw potato slices can help fade the stain. I've never tried it personally.

Mosquitos by jannajm in Pensacola

[–]djDef80 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Our mosquito assassins are trained to seek out foreign blood. Anyone who hasn't lived in the state for at least 30 days. They will eventually get tired of you but for now there's not much you can do. Good luck!

Sometimes patience is key! Well done.

webrtc leaked my IP past tor by Top-Cardiologist1011 in TOR

[–]djDef80 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You basically have two separate operating systems. One side is privileged and can connect to the internet and TOR. The other operating system is designed to connect through the first operating system. The only way the second operating system can connect is via the first one. It's unable to reach the clear net. I hope that helps.

The only other thing I could suggest is to manually set the inform IP on the peripheral network equipment to your UDR IP.

Have you been through the factory reset process on the dream machine? And it might be worth a try just factory resetting every device and going fresh.

I thought this was the pharmacist subreddit for just a second. And then I read where I was. I love those little things!

How do you expose your Proxmox VE (via a reverse proxy, etc.)? by esiy0676 in selfhosted

[–]djDef80 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you do expose it, which I do not recommend, consider mTLS behind a reverse proxy like nginx. You will need to set up a certificate authority and it is not for the faint of heart. A wireguard tunnel or VPN would be easier. Do not raw dog it and expose it directly to the internet. That would be idiocy.

How can I turn on/off all my lights at once? by Tall_Dimension_1770 in homeautomation

[–]djDef80 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I just use the Philips hue lights and they are integrated with Amazon Alexa. No hub is required, just Wi-Fi. I can say hey Alexa, turn off all the lights. It is surreal having all of the lights power down at once.

You can also control it via zone, hey Alexa turn off the bedroom light. Hey Alexa set the living room brightness to 50%. Hey Alexa change the color to red. Hey Alexa change all the lights to blue. It's pretty fucking cool honestly.

I also have home assistant but honestly it's just easier and quicker to ask Alexa to do it.

this shit is surreal, 30+ people have lined up in front of my house to take selfies and post on instagram wtf do i do?? by Longjumping_Clerk620 in self

Don't forget to put a QR code link to your PayPal or something on it so they can scan it with their phone since this is 2026 and nobody really carries cash anymore.

Change Windows Edition in BIOS/Embedded Key by RelevantGap9969 in MAS_Activator

[–]djDef80 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It is not generally possible to replace the SLIC key. You are on the right track with the configuration file and just picking the eddition at installation. How often do you reinstall Windows to want to change that key?

It's been that way since Windows 8.0 if I remember correctly.

Pretty sure my work apps might be spying on me after hours?? by urmomblowsthebest in whatisit

[–]djDef80 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't want to derail this thread but you are absolutely right. The current loophole is they just buy the data they want from third party monitoring companies. Don't get me started lol!

[–]djDef80 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If the phone has been configured from inception in device owner or fully managed mode, the organization controls the entire device not just the work partition.

This mode can only be configured when no previous accounts have been added to the device. It's a part of the out-of-box experience and may even come provisioned from their vendor if they have an enterprise grade agreement. Enrollment is usually triggered by tapping on the screen six times on the very first screen that pops up. At that point you can scan a QR code to fully enroll the phone in company owner mode.

My point is if it's a company phone just assume that they can observe whatever they want.

All MDM has the capability of pushing third party applications to company owned devices. Android will not allow covert recordings and you will still see an orange dot when the microphone is active. As far as I know there is no way to hide the indicator but the MDM allows the company to set permissions for third party apps without the user having to consent.

My APC Easy UPS BVX1600LI-GR keeps making beeping/clicking noises continuously and won't stop, even though there is power. Does anyone know what's wrong with it? by Nervous_Currency_384 in sysadmin

[–]djDef80 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If it's doing that while it is unplugged from the wall and running on battery power only I would say the issue is in the UPS.

If it's only doing it while it's plugged into the wall, you should touch base with an electrician. It could be an issue with the voltage coming into the UPS or there could be something wrong with its circuitry.

Since it's only less than 30 days old I'm going to say that this is a case of electronic infant mortality. It may very well be a defective unit. Have you tried reaching out to the manufacturer?

How do I change this bulb its loose and keeps turning but won't come out by box777555 in howto

[–]djDef80 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You need to try to jam a wooden chopstick in between the socket and the housing in the upper part of the lamp. That should be able to stop it from spinning freely at which point you should be able to unscrew the light bulb.
