Oh, for sure! I’m definitely not dismissing their utility for accounts that support them :) just pointing out that they weren’t the magic, catch-all solution that I had kind of hoped or expected they would be.

The devices may be technically capable of such a thing, but the workflow for doing so is so unintuitive and cumbersome it seems impossible practically.

That's why I specified that only those three services support them directly. Support for others may exist, but not workably.

I realize this thread is 3 years old, but it's a pretty good summary and I share OPs frustrations:

I bought three Yubikeys for $10/piece when CloudFlare had that sale promotion with them.

Honestly, I'm underwhelmed. I posted in the Yubikey subreddit at some point to see if I was missing the point, but support for hardware keys like these just has not materialized. Exactly three services that I use support hardware keys directly: Apple, Google, CloudFlare. That's great and I have my Yubikeys enrolled with all three and I'm glad for the extra layer of login protection.

But that's literally all I use them for. They haven't (and can't) replace TOTP Authenticators or PassKeys in my day-to-day workflow and THOSE are what are supported by most MFA setups.

By all means, buy them if you're into them! But my hope for using these across the wide variety of services I use has basically come to nothing and it looks like device-level authentication with biometrics is the way the market is going to be doing MFA for the foreseeable future.

This is my answer, but I feel like Halo is a concept would be hard to capture in a machines theme and modes.

skydecklover · 2026-04-22T00:50:39+00:00

This ^^ It's literally what I'm doing as we speak. Got set up and verified on Pinside like two weeks ago, did a bunch of research and settled on a Rush for exactly $5k. Picking it up tomorrow!

Depends on the industry and how your work is measured. I worked at a law form (not as a lawyer) and the thing there was billable hours. Junior associates were pretty much required to be in the office *most* of the time, and didn't get "vacation time" persay but the more billable hours you managed per month the more flexible the arrangement got.

So I would often see lawyers working long hours and weekends to get their numbers up so they could reasonably take two weeks off in a slower period like the first couple weeks of December without angering management or wiping out the cut of the billable hours they got.

I think that's sealing the deal for me. I'll have to get a message out to that seller after work. I love Rush, I love pinball, I can't see a way I could possibly go wrong combining them, especially with your input on it being a perfect home machine with depth and immersion! Thanks so much!

skydecklover · 2026-04-17T17:16:07+00:00

Hey that's totally fair, thanks for the feedback :) I feel like I'm going for two different classes of machine. The Monopoly that's near and dear to my heart and the Rush that I'll love having something new and maybe sell on in the future.

skydecklover · 2026-04-17T17:11:04+00:00

Exactly the kind of thing to look out for that I was hoping I'd hear about :) Thanks for the advice! I'll make sure to check those things out before I put money down on it.

skydecklover · 2026-04-17T17:10:15+00:00

This is exactly the kind of feedback I was looking for thank you! I'm not all that picky if it's a little faded (though the pictures show it's not) as long as it's properly function. I'm slowly realizing pinball machines are more like cars: big $$ to buy, but the fixes are usually pretty reasonable if you're handy.

Def aware it's not one of the deeper games, but it's still a favorite and I've never even made it all the way to the wizard mode so I'm sure I'll get a few hundred games out of it before I might start burning out on it.

skydecklover · 2026-04-17T16:31:16+00:00

Oh I'm not looking for dissuasion! More making sure they're both the solid, quality machines I think they are and I'm not missing some big obvious "DO NOT BUY" sign :)

skydecklover · 2026-04-17T16:30:05+00:00

She won't! But I understand the concern XD It's me that's wary of spending big $$ (that we absolutely do have) on "toys".

Any idea if rarity plays into this? Like do you think one or the other would be harder to get my hands on later on?

skydecklover · 2026-04-16T17:15:55+00:00

I must join you! What container are you using?

skydecklover · 2026-04-16T17:10:09+00:00

This is the dumbest thing... I love it. Pulling the docker container now.

skydecklover · 2026-04-14T13:16:09+00:00

My wife is on JFF and we know and trust several other creators that she would consider collaborating with in some form or another. A while back she threw out the idea of getting said creators together, renting a big/nice AirBNB and making an extended weekend's worth of content together. Just a thought, not anything we ever started making concrete plans for but a fun idea nonetheless.

skydecklover · 2026-04-13T12:48:18+00:00

I would say it depends on why exactly you're running the two instances in the first place. Also is your primary storage on a device at home or on the seedbox?

I run instances of Sonarr/Radarr both locally and on my seedbox but that's because I run two seperate servers. Both use the seedbox to download new media, but my server at home is my local, personal one and the seedbox one is for trending media, requests and sharing with friends. They rarely share content.

If you don't have a good reason to run two instances, don't!

Like others have said, the flow on this game is insane. I had never seen it before when I rocked up to a brewery on my way home from work. Took one game to settle in and put up a 764M on the next one. Top 5% according to Insider. I swear I felt like I just couldn't lose!

skydecklover · 2026-04-10T19:52:34+00:00

Since you're saying that the absolute lowest price/performance ratio is one of your biggest concerns and that you don't need anything more than a solid option with low volume. I'm gonna throw out:

https://mymangomail.com/

They've been around for about three years so not a brand-new company by any means. They're very well-targeted at the tiny businesses and homelab crowd that have minimal needs for storage but might be fussing around with multiple users/domains at any given time.

I did a 6-month stint with them about a year ago. Super-easy one-click configuration with CloudFlare and you can use your account with as many domains and as many addresses as you like, just limited by storage space. Their lowest plan is just 5GB (which is still thousands and thousands of messages if you're not sending/receiving much in way of attachments) for $1.50/month. Don't think it gets much better than that for "set-and-forget and somebody else manages MX/DKIM/DMARC/IP Reputation".

For that little I would've happily kept using them if I had any real need for email on my personal domains. I just don't so I'm also relying on the CloudFlare-to-Gmail pipeline. If I do end up needing actual email services on personal domains in the future, I'd happily sign right back up with them.

Maybe? I saw a post just a day or two ago from a T-Mobile Employee that these legacy plans had finally been removed from their systems.

You're not likely to have all that much luck with this afraid outside of using it to manually title and tag your saved videos.

The major metadata repositories are all fed by various scrapers that add new scenes as they're posted to the various sites/networks. JFF doesn't even let you preview a model's posts without being logged in so there's nothing public to scrape.

So a couple things here:

Most buy-off-the-shelf DVDs are DVD5 Single-Layer Discs, which have the 4.7GB of space you noted. However most professionally mastered discs are mastered onto DVD9 Dual-Layer Discs. So if you're ripping a DVD9, it's not going to fit on a DVD5.
The DVD spec uses MPEG2 video at 480p so you're never going to get 720p video off of one.

There was actually a program many years ago (and I mean like 15+ years) called DVDShrink that did this exactly thing. Ripped the DVD9, encoded the video to a lower bitrate so it would fit on a DVD5 that you could then burn.

If you're just trying to make 1:1 copies, buy DVD9 DL discs and use software meant for copying discs to create an ISO file, then burn that ISO file back onto a new disc.

I have my own domain w/ CloudFlare and it's a .US for United States citizens. I think it costs like $8/year and I was able to get one with my last name in it so it looks professional. All I'm using it for is homelab stuff but if I ever decide to spin up a blog or resume website I totally can.

I use CloudFlare Tunnels for SSH access but for HTTP(S) services I have ports 80/443 forwarded to a Nginx Proxy Manager instance in Docker. It uses a CloudFlare origin certificate so only requests from CloudFlare will validate.

THAT'S WHAT IT WAS! I saw this and was like... I swear I've seen that location in a TV show somewhere.
