Releasing everyone's SSN and the hacks used to acquire them in c/[email protected]
[–] [email protected] 1 points 4 weeks ago

It is just every conceivable combination for an SSN?

I only viewed batch-a.txt and it seemed to just be 000-00-0000 followed by 000-00-0001, etc.

Are you on the new GigaHub? You can get around it, but you need to purchase a specific SPON ... Module? Adapter? I don't know the right term. You can plug the fiber right into that and then plug the SPON into a SPF(+?) port on your router or use a media adapter for RJ45.

There's a discord (yes, I know, sorry. Its the only place I know to discuss this) for doing this with Bell's equipment. Theres a FAQ there that will find the exact SPON you need based on your service level and where you are in the country. Send me a message if you're interested in the Discord link.

Long story short, its way bigger of a hassle than it should be, and fuck Bell. As soon as Tek Savvy can resell their fiber lines, I'm switching back.

Save us CTRC, you're our only hope.

In the context menu on a given post, would it be possible to add an option to block that community (or user) directly?

As it stands now, I'd have to go to that community and then block it from there, unless I'm missing something.

Edit: Disregard. It's already in the software. Long press on the community name let's you block.

Installed GrapheneOS for the first time in c/[email protected]

I switched over a year ago and have no regrets. It does everything I want (including android auto now) and gives me at least a little but more privacy than a stock android image.

The more people who use it the more impetus there is to further develop it.

Give it a go! Its a great.

Linux Distros Evolution - January 2024 Update: Pop!_OS in Decline? in c/[email protected]
[–] [email protected] 16 points 8 months ago (7 children)

Very interesting, thanks for sharing. I didnt realise that Arch adoption was so high. I (don't) use arch, BTW. Although now I feel like I want to give it a spin to see what all the fuss is about!

Or maybe I'll stay fat, dumb, and happy with Fedora and Nobara on my desktop and laptop.

Not that it would change anything for me personally, but I really think Pop! OS is a poor naming choice. Who puts an exclamation mark in their name? Aside from Yahoo! I suppose.

Protectli FW6B (lemmy.ca)
 

I'm using a Protectli FW6B as my opnsense firewall/router. I'm upgrading my internet service to 1.5 GB fiber and I'm not sure what to do with this device once I do. I could continue using it as my router (I guess put it on the LAN side of the supplied Bell "Gigahub" router/WiFi ap/whatever the fiber equivalent of a modem is?) but then I lose out on 1/3 of my bandwidth.

I already have a homebuilt NAS running truenas with a bunch of services - I guess I could move all those services from truenas onto the Protectli and keep the NAS solely as a storage system?

Either that or just sell it to recupe the costs somewhat. I'm already considering selling my ruckus 510s because the new router comes with WiFi 6. If I did that, I'd probably look to sell the 2x ruckus r510 aps I have setup too.

Is there another option I'm missing?

Thirded. Once it was setup, it just runs and does its thing in the background.

Are the exits meant to exist even in the dark? I jumped into the unlit exit on level 7 before I realized the last light was switchable, and I still exited. I couldn't see it.

Edit: very cool game though. I enjoyed it!

Have they added spell check yet? I love it, but I need a keyboard that can spellchwck and autocorrect...

I'm leaving that typo in there to make my point.

RHEL and Fedora for home use (lemmy.ca)

I see a lot of posts about Redhat for putting their code base behind a paywall. I've only been using Linux as my main desktop OS for a couple of years now. Someone recommended Fedora at the time, and I've been happy with it. I had previously tried PopOS, Mint, and Ubuntu, but none of them convinced me to switch from Windows full time until I tried again with Fedora.

How will what Redhat is doing affect Fedora for the home user? Should I start considering something else?

Edit: thanks for all of the responses! Sticking with fedora for now it is.
