My #ids sees crawler IP proxy exit test attack on my web site using 1000 different IP addresses issuing GET command and doing zilch just testing their IP addresses work? What can one do?

No currently available smartphone can provide enough power / energy for a 20 hour day of use in emergency situations. This is a wee bit of a major weakness in our information age. Many folks just do not carry around a battery pack "in case the day turns into an emergency". We seem to tolerate poor device design.

ln #macos #apple #mov .mov files cannot seemingly be exported as #mp4 from #quicktime player. Some conversion options are present but not listed as mp4 and the help page does not list it. Maybe I am wrong or stupid. But so often I think of buying an #iphone for the ease of use but then I hit this repugnant apple walled garden of encapsulated software that runs totally contrary the spirit of FOSS or any decent computing ethos one can think of and makes me recoil. Long live #vlc .

The car parts and repair company #ATU DE has an phone AI audio assistant that makes a typing noise and with office call center noises in the background. This level of insane fake service provision must take a very special sort of management delusion to think it gives a good impression. They probably pay extra for this. It makes the customer look foolish. Utterly unfathomable to implement such a revolting fake. The world of business has truly gone totally potty to try to automate in that way.

Many #reticulum #nomadnet sites are not reachable.
For example can anyone reach
f38f876a4a14ff0db021bcb410676244 ?
If so, would you be so kind as to share the TCP interface you are using ? Perhaps then I can reach the site using that. Thanks.

#db #diebahn DE online booking cannot generate a price for a ticket from London to southern Germany. It tells you to book each leg independently. This is so bad it makes you scream. Cars do not have this problem and I am sure that this is why people would rather drive.

Does #FIPS (https://github.com/jmcorgan/fips) #mesh provide automatic connectivity for nodes behind symmetric CGNAT, or must one manually configure at least one reachable peer?

Setting up #LUKS2 #encryption is not a user-friendly experience & is a perfect example of how user unfriendly linux can be. Or should I say non idiot-proof? It does not echo the #passphrase. There is no way to make it do so. So how is one supposed to deal with the case that the keyboard is different to what the computer is set as? Then you type in your passphrase twice blindly & then later wonder what happened as what you thought was a - or y was something else and boom lockout. Terrible design.

If I want a #backup of my machine's persisted data to restore it on another new machine (during a machine upgrade), is there no snazzy linux command like "freeze everything" while I copy? I am using an ISO boot state to make the copy of my persisted data to make the dataset to restore on the new machine, but seems a wee bit clunky as a method. #nixos #impermanence #persistence #persist #iso

What is the solution to the problem that when using a 10Gbit ethernet connection on a switch, the other 2.5Gbit connections on the switch stop working. Some sort of bottleneck? Is this due to a cheap switch or bad design, or is it a fundamental limit? In which case, why do they sell such switches?

A lot of apps on #Android do not work suddenly & only work again if you #update them. There is generally no warning of this: you just have to fail in what you are trying (logging in with the correct credentials, attempting it 10 times or trying to make a payment, the list of time consuming failed tasks is endless) and then try to update if that occurs to you. Android and apps have here an ultra massive design fault: what system/app lets you fail so many times when the cause is a missing update?
