I think what the commenter is saying is if you have something running on a server on an external IP address for like a website that needs to be public, the additional risk of opening up more ports to slow down Internet scanners is not beneficial to you and not worth the risk.

If you’re deploying an raspberry pi and opening it up to the Internet, and don’t care if it crashes due to overload, thats a bit of effort and cost you incure to keep it running to be a nuisance.for Internet scanners. If you don’t have anything which needs to be publicly accessible to the Internet, the best thing you can do is not open any ports and expend no effort, so that the firewall/ NAT gateway operates in stealth mode which is does inflict some processing and time on the Internet scanner to run waiting for responses to timeout.

It’ll probably just be a nuisance for small operations and for larger botnets be a drop in the bucket or not even noticable.

I see, admittedly I didn’t check too closely but see what you’re saying now. I’ve had good luck with this app for tracking other BLE devices around. FWIW the MAC address filter takes a wild card value (using *), but I’m not too familiar with how the manufacturer ID and MAC address manufacturer prefix are related, if at all. Anyway, all this to say that while the NoPeek app is focused on just smart glasses, other apps exist that have similar functionality, and are easier to install.

If you go to Radar Alerts, set the filter to use the manufacturer. The readme in OPs GitHub page lists these manufacturers: https://github.com/getnopeek/nopeek-android#️-devices-detected

I used to work with a guy that worked at Apple Computers in the 80s/90s in Japan I think when they were getting into the market there. He described an anecdote from that era where Apple had a high volume of returns and were trying to figure out why, since the hardware was functioning when it was received. Turns out most of the returns were because the coiled cable for the keyboard would get messed up and not coil properly, which was inconvenient but acceptable in the western markets, whereas in Japan that was unacceptable for the average consumer.

why does this need to be a separate app? There are other Bluetooth apps which will notify you when it sees a device with a mac address and will record the signal strength and keep a record on a map. Just add a profile to those apps for the manufacturer mac prefix.

This is great, I’ve played a few but not Hyper Light Drifter, and would really appreciate a key.

I always thought the line was “ketchup on the table”

Seriously this. The success of a public service shouldn’t be how much revenue is generated or shareholder value is gained. We as a society are the shareholders and deserve infrastructure that works for us. Corporations have pushed the idea that lower taxes is better, but when you have to spend more to a company to get basic necessities, you’re not really coming out on top buddy.

FWIW, if you suspect your machine has been compromised, the binaries for common tools like ps and top shouldn’t be relied upon since those probably were tampered with to hide the malicious program from the output. At that point, you’d probably want to check each running process manually under /proc/.

ohh i see what you’re saying. I thought you meant embedded content (like images) in Lemmy don’t show up. Never mind me, I don’t know about embedding Lemmy content into other platforms

What’s an example post where this is broken? I’m on https://alx.lemmy.blahaj.zone/ and not noticing anything not working

There are plenty of python libraries which have compiled components, such as pandas, which is compiled on install via pip install. Some package managers have precompiled binaries, but you would need to make sure you have the right version for the project.

I don’t see how it could federate unless the other lemmy instances are on I2P also. This seems more like an isolated/standalone idea for an instance

IMO, you can only be considered a fan if you have one or more blades that are angled in such a way so that they push air in one direction to create a current of air for cooling or ventilation.

In terms of command line editors, vim is extremely powerful and relatively easy to get started with, once you know how to get into insert mode and then save/quit. nano/pico are easier to learn but less powerful, and emacs is probably more powerful than vim, and more daunting to learn. Also, vim is installed on almost all systems, so there’s not really any extra work to get started using it.

This is what happened with FFMpeg when Google was trying the same thing to promote their models. If the code is good, and doesn’t put unnecessary burden on the reviewer, then that’s great. But when the patches are sloppy or the reviews are overwhelming, it doesn’t help the project, it hinders it.

Ahh didn’t see the Coca Cola logo at first, I thought it was the ketchup boxes you hook up to the pump at the self service station.
