@nblr “ANY of my three-digit ASn”? That’s a hilarious and absurd(ly awesome) flex. And timely too, since I saw your post an hour or so after a friend asked me if I had made any progress on setting up my own ASn. I guess having my home lab in a cabinet at a colo isn’t enough for my friends. 😂

Looking for tips/advice...

A friend of a friend had their Apple ID stolen via social engineering attack. Attacker changed the recovery email/phone number associated so the owner is completely locked out. Person is able to show purchase history proving account ownership but Apple is telling them to pound sand. 🤦

Anybody dealt with something similar and know how to get Apple to care enough to assist?

@jerry There HAS to be some Apple people on the instance somewhere who would have insight into this...

@WPalant I am gonna note this for the future when I get asked why I have so many monitoring alert emails being generated (that I don't get around to immediately resolving or silencing): keeping the mail volume from my own mail server to my Gmail/Gapps account high is keeping me on the good side of Gmail's spam filters! 🤣

i need to get a yubikey or two

hmhackmaster,
@hmhackmaster@boldcity.social avatar

@esm I have like...6 of them?

A few older ones, but I have two newer ones that I use as a redundant pair (by registering both on a service, for example).
Both have my PIV private key, GPG private key, separate Yubico OTP keys, and separate SSH private keys.

I also have a slightly older Yubikey that I use for testing and such (and then a first gen I use just for the Yubico OTP AND 2 that just support U2F).

How many do you NEED?
For normal use, one is fine as long as you don't lose it!

The thing that bothers me about is that it is compulsory.

You can tell your family you don't want to receive any gifts. They won't listen, and within a few years of trying to stay out of the gift exchange, you will be shamed into participating.

I've held my line, but I can do that because I am naturally an asshole anyways. You can get me gifts all you want, I'll complain before I even open them, will barely say thank you, and still won't get you anything in return next year because to me, you didn't get me the one thing I actually wanted: NOTHING.

Unfortunately, Kimball has been shamed into gift giving. She doesn't like it either, but she is the nice one in our relationship, and the shame of receiving without giving has gotten to her.

This pisses me off. I fucking hate this holiday. I'm about ready to start refusing to attend any family events until people start promising to not get me anything.

This year, my line in the sand is, "I'm not opening that."

Oh, and the music. Xmas music needs to fucking DIAF.

EDIT: Apparently, this stance is getting me out of going to xmas witht he family, because Kimball doesn't want to see me piss everyone off by refusing to open gifts.

Shit, I should have figured this out years ago.

hmhackmaster,
@hmhackmaster@boldcity.social avatar

@fedops @nuintari these are the vibes I endorse!

But then again, I have kids and my friends have kids and I love the excitement they get when they receive (and give!) gifts.

And I love playing Xbox with a few preschool-aged assistants (they don't know yet how bad I am at Destiny).

Aand dammit, I just accidentally did the opposite of y'all. 😅

Oh well, I hope y'all enjoy your peace and quiet! Whatever y'all end up doing, I hope you do it by choice!!

@ajn142 My mind went to the homelab component as well!
I run full Exchange 2019 Hybrid then relay everything via CipherMail (for S/MIME and a few other tweaks like some header adjustments to not leak internal hostnames) before finally relaying everything to Exchange Online.

It's a bit excessive, I will admit 😅

    @neurovagrant Do you know what areas this 'hypothetical' person would want to expand into?

    Like outdoorsy stuff (hiking, kayaking, boating, walking, Geocaching)?

    Perhaps a creative outlet like art, pottery, painting, woodworking, welding/machine work/3D printing?

    Or a thing that increases human interaction like theater or comedy or improv?

    Or something else entirely 🤔

    Does anyone have experience with Canon laser printers? I've got a Canon MF650C series printer, connected to my wireless network, and when it goes to sleep I cannot print to it. I have to go downstairs and poke a button on the screen to wake it up. I'm seeing people online reporting this issue with Canon printers since 2017, but haven't found any solutions.

    hmhackmaster,
    @hmhackmaster@boldcity.social avatar

    @thomasareed
    My experience troubleshooting such things are such that the "device falls off wifi until it wakes up" involve quirks in the WiFi AP's config (usually stuff for speed and performance) that don't play well with the older WiFi stack on the printer.

    You could set up a secondary SSID with custom setting (or a standalone SSID on a dedicated WiFi radio, since the problematic settings are usually radio-specific not SSID-specific) but that's usually not worth the effort.

    @Viss @catsalad

    hmhackmaster,
    @hmhackmaster@boldcity.social avatar

    @Viss 100% agree that the bridge is the easiest and most performant method (since disabling the problematic features would likely make the other devices slower).

    I used bridges for my printer/MFP installs at work too.

    I have had a few gl.net devices and they did good as APs/routers!
    I recently retired my WRT-54GL standalone APs for IoT and embedded stuff, so now I use a few tiny Mikrotik devices in my network since I already use Mikrotik for everything else.

    @DaveMasonDotMe Powershell does have the "show available command parameters" thing which is incredibly helpful.

    And I have gotten good at guessing the commands, so I guess it's growing on me.

    Have you previously posted more details on your issues with Powershell? I would be curious to read them...

    hmhackmaster,
    @hmhackmaster@boldcity.social avatar

    @DaveMasonDotMe thanks for the link, I'll read it when I have a moment to focus.

    I certainly know your experience has informed your viewpoints (and you have way more experience than I!); I ask as I sometimes work with devs and I don't wanna speak from ignorance when I advocate for stuff (like Powershell)!

    I appreciate your response, I look forward to reading the post!

    @RiversideBryan So does the like/interaction never show up? Like if you manually refresh an app or go to the web interface, does the like then appear?

    Does the behavior change when liking/interacting with a post from an account on the instance as your accounts vs a post from a remote instance?

    @f4grx Coming from a person who avoids Docker as much as possible, shared systems (like many raspi's seem to be) are where I use docker the most!
    I (almost) exclusively run workloads inside VMs, so I can dedicate a single VM/OS to one app.

    But I have gotten myself in miserable dependency hell when running multiple disparate services on a single OS, so when I can't deploy VMs (like a Pi) I end up on Docker. 🤷🏼‍♂️

    Unless you have dedicated Pi's? 😂

    @f4grx
    Oh believe me, I am with you 110%. I get very annoyed every time I encounter an app that demands non-distro packages (glares at Mastodon).

    I haven't deployed my own Pixelfed instance yet (though I hope to soon!) but I am stoked that I won't be stuck with docker as my only option!

    why? idk i like networking

    hmhackmaster,
    @hmhackmaster@boldcity.social avatar

    @gewt 3 vendors, but same SSID?
    And does your controller manage all 3 vendors?

    I have 3 APs because ... idk. 😂 A frequency analysis certainly confirms it's quite unnecessary. 😅

    hmhackmaster,
    @hmhackmaster@boldcity.social avatar

    @gewt ah, the "pure chaos" vibe. Love it! 😂

    I thought I was excessive by having 3 APs and 5 SSIDs (including one SSID with WPA2-EAP against LDAP) 🤣
