  • I’ve used the oven method for two different gloves, but used shaving cream on the first one and a specific treatment foam on the second one. It’s been 10 years since I last played, but I remember putting it on a cookie sheet and we turned the oven off before placing the glove in.

    Sucks this happened to ya. Hopefully somebody around you has a spare you can borrow until you can figure out a replacement and get it broken in.



  • This would be correct. We have at least 7 amazon alexa/fireTV devices and a bunch of other IoT devices with Alexa capability and each of them get used regularly.

    The IoT devices are on their own subnet which doesn’t have access to the other subnets. I live with my mom and Alexa devices just make her life way easier. I put in the work to make sure the alexa and IoT devices are as restricted as possible without losing functionality so she can live a bit easier.





  • It’s important to note that your password has to be stored someway, no matter what, no matter where. How it’s stored can be varied, from hashed (think encrypted) to cleartext. I’m assuming lemmy is using hashed passwords, so if you’re concerned about your password being available to an instance owner, admin, or potential attackers, then you’ll need to follow safe password guidelines. Changing the concept from passwords to passphrases is a great start.

    Always keep in mind, if the data isn’t stored on your device, you do not technically own that data. You have to trust the owners to be good data custodians and treat the data you give them as if it were their own private data.

    I’ll leave this now internet-ancient sacred image for future passphrase converts.






  • I don’t technically open any ports to the public. I have a site-to-site wireguard tunnel to a hosted server. The hosted server is running a hypervisor with two virtual switches. One switch is my external switch and only my Wireguard server is using it. The other is an internal switch where I place other VMs for separate things. A container host, a terminal server with xrdp, a monitoring server with netdata, stuff like that. All technically, but unnecessarily, accessed through nginx proxy manager.

    Because it’s site2site with my home equipment on the Wireguard server, i can still connect to my home network where i host a number of separate services like HomeAssistant from outside the home network.

    I don’t use tailscale, but Wireguard vanilla is super easy to work with. I also have fail2ban pretty much everywhere I can install it because it takes up practically zero resources.
