Yes, except now you can just use an AI to unpixelate something without doing all that work. It’s even more effective on video than with a still picture.
When redacting something make sure you’re not accidentally making it semi transparent. Use a box fill or hard edge brush with the opacity set to 100%. I’ve seen a lot of pictures posted where someone scribbles over the info with a soft edge brush and you can still see through it if you adjust the contrast.
You can get an adapter board that will make it work with an M.2 SSD. I believe it’s only PCIe 2.0, so there’s no point putting a high end SSD in it unless you need a high write endurance. Any SSD will be a huge improvement over a hard drive.
Most Linux distros will run on it since it’s using a 64 bit Intel CPU. If you have the version with 4GB of RAM, you will need something very lightweight though. I would run Debian if I was going to use it as a server or Mint if I was going to use it as a desktop.
The Mac Mini should still be perfectly usable if you put Linux on it and upgrade it to an SSD.
Only works if it’s an incandescent light
LED and fluorescent lights get hot too, it just takes a bit longer.
Hydrogen would be fine as long as it’s not flying above an inhabited area. Helium supplies are limited.
Run an iperf test to see if the ethernet adapter is working correctly. The speed tests on my USB ethernet adapter are almost identical to an integrated one as long as it’s connected to a USB 3 port.
I would recommend installing Heroic Launcher too. It works good for GoG, Epic & Amazon games.
Firefox has had one hidden away in about:config since they started adding AI. Are they going to put it in the settings page now?
So what happens when the certificate expires? Do you get locked out if you don’t have physical access?
You can put Linux on the computer and customize it however you want. If you don’t want a task bar, you don’t have to have one. You can move it where ever you want, adjust the size or even have multiple task bars on each monitor.
Those displays are made to be very bright and usually have a lot of backlight bleed.
There is a PipeWire module for ASHA. It looks like it has issues with a lot of devices though.
My windows XP install kept breaking and I got tired of fixing it, so I tried Linux and never went back.
Cloud storage is fine for your offsite copy as long as you encrypt your data before uploading it. The problem is that a lot of people are using it as their only copy.
Yes, that’s fine as long as whatever you’re hosting is designed to be safely used on the internet. Just keep it up to date and only expose the stuff you need to. I would suggest setting up fail2ban to block IPs that repeatedly fail to log in though. Depending on what you’re hosting, you may need bot protection, but if all they can see is a login page, they shouldn’t be too much of an issue.
Just make sure you’re not using an EUI64 address. That significantly narrows down the number of addresses per subnet to scan. The bots found one of my computers that was using one. It took them 3 years to find it though.
I use inleed.xyz. It’s free, has IMAP/SMTP access and you can have as many accounts as you want. It’s limited to 1GB of storage shared between all accounts though.
That’s fine as long as it’s a standard 1.44MB or 720K formatted disk. For anything else, you will probably need an old PC or a Greaseweazle.
You can use LibreOffice Draw to edit a PDF. It can actually delete text and images from the PDF. You do need to install all of the fonts that the PDF uses before editing it or they will be replaced with what you do have. That will probably mess up the layout if the replacement fonts are not compatible with the originals.
