Gamefreak used an additional hardcoded RSA public key auth in Pokémon Black/White because for some reason they didn’t trust OpenSSL to not fail for their HTTPS API connections, and yet here we are in 2026 with unauthenticated API endpoints.
Was ChatGPT unable to generate swagger docs they could have lazily plugged into an API scanner bruh
Or better yet notice the big fat “unathenticated” label when you look at the endpoint list.

“Ay you got that ed25519?”
No sweat, try mirroring a private tracker and you’ll very quickly run out lol. You need a couple of petabytes worth.
The real problem is the price of HDDs not going down due to lower production in light of SSDs.
I fully expect WD to drop this as some stupidly expensive SAS drives that almost no consumer will buy. They should at least apply the dual heads for speed tech so we get faster HDDs for the same price.
Very critical. GNOME and KDE have two very different UX paradigms.
Usually people used to Windows opt for KDE, and Mac or older Ubuntu users opt for GNOME.
The thing is though, a golden standard DE can easily be setup to act as both. XFCE is so customizable that I’ve seen both DE types setup as UNIX like or Windows like workflow.
I’m not sure if KDE or GNOME can do the same because I’m pretty sure they focus on a target audience.
What are your issues with KDE exactly? I always hated GNOME’s lack of standard window buttons and handling multiple windows in a Mac like fashion. Also the app menu which gives me flashbacks of ChromeOS.
I tried protonmail not for the privacy purpose but just to have a normal web email client.
After wasting an hour before finding out you can’t disable the “sent from protonmail” footer without manually deleting it in each draft you make, I said screw it and deployed my own email server with stalwart lol.
It’s receive only because outgoing SMTP is a pain to make reliable these days and my ISP blocks outgoing SMTP anyway, but for everything else I now use Thunderbird.
Been on it permanently for years now. Only complaint is that I found XFS to be better than BTRFS, though most people probably wouldn’t notice.
Only other “complaint” is Fedora doesn’t have a lot of support for embedded arm devices, so you’re on your own if you want an RPM style distro on something like an Orange Pi.
If you want to ruin a concert’s day, change the thermostat a few clicks lol.
Funny thing is you can actually conduct pretty well with just your hand.
Also a good conductor is usually an astoundingly good player of multiple instruments themselves.
It’s kind of like how football (soccer) team managers are retired players that can still play better than the entire stadium wearing loafers and a suit.
How I sleep knowing Fedora + podman actually uses safe firewalld zones out of box instead of expecting the user to hack around with the clown show that is ufw.
I could be wrong here but I feel like the answer is in the docs itself:
If you are running Docker with the iptables or ip6tables options set to true, and firewalld is enabled on your system, in addition to its usual iptables or nftables rules, Docker creates a firewalld zone called docker, with target ACCEPT.
All bridge network interfaces created by Docker (for example, docker0) are inserted into the docker zone.
Docker also creates a forwarding policy called docker-forwarding that allows forwarding from ANY zone to the docker zone.
Modify the zone to your security needs? Or does Docker reset the zone rules ever startup? If this is the same as podman, the docker zone should actually accept traffic from your public zone which has your physical NIC, which would mean you don’t have to do anything since public default is to DROP.
One one hand, a superior ROM choice
On the other hand, subpar crappy Google hardware
Would bet cash money this article was sponsored by Tim Sweeny, who is also a billionaire lol.
Not saying this excuses Gabe Newell in any way, but this was made purely to attack Valve’s newly announced product.
They had no issue when a billionaire with an order of magnitude more wealth than both Tim or Gabe went around advertising his shitty Amazon MMO:
It’s impossible to say where New World will be in a year, whether it will be on the road to obscurity or finally giving World of Warcraft something to sweat about, but right now it’s a huge success that validates the commitment and patience Amazon has taken with it. Bezos may not have had a direct hand in its creation, but as the person who greenlighted Amazon’s foray into gaming more than a half-decade ago, you can understand his pride in it.
Couldn’t you just lazy build your own images if you don’t trust the source?
Even then most of these containerized apps can be run perfectly fine as a host binary, you just have to make your own start script and a systemd unit which isn’t that bad.
You could then build a completely custom image if you’d like, or move it into a VM if you don’t like the idea of running it baremetal.
How does it compare to Photoprism? Been on that solution for a while and I really like it, but have seen lots of people suggest Immich as well.
Ubuntu and Docker.
Really? Netplan alone disqualifies Ubuntu as a “friendly stable starter distro”, and I can guarantee you that your guide will somehow become outdated with a single new Ubuntu release, or some poor soul who accidentally selected an LTS release.
Docker doesn’t matter as much, but there’s a reason beyond just FOSS licensing why podman exists.
Would highly recommend Debian instead.
I started on Ubuntu similar to this many years ago and both the server and desktop experience was not fun at all.
HEVC support is enabled for Firefox 134
Cool for anyone not using AV1 which I assume is a big chunk of the userbase because not everyone has good AV1 hardware acceleration lol
A lot already have actually, writing was on the wall back when they dropped the version names which was also around the time a lot of the original Android hardware OEMs gave in which left us with carriers giving you the option between Samsung, Google, and Motorola.
Then they abused Trump’s first term to ban Huawei for spyware since it was competing too well.
The frontend UI sucks, the backend ART sucks, the process pausing system can’t hold most of your app views because reasons, Samsung removed OEM unlocking, Google has a stranglehold on decade old RCS with only google messages supporting such a protocol (wtf???), AOSP is functionally dead, Gapps has been eating the left side of your homepage for years, etc etc.
I’m thinking about getting some handheld and making it into a PDA, like those upcoming DS-like consoles, and then maybe just get a pocket modem for phone/internet.
“No”
– everyone using compose to orchestrate software deployments
Yes it is, and there’s a age old joke about docker being used for configuration management, which doesn’t require a container system.
I kinda hate to agree with the other suggestions here, but entry level and even dedicated NAS products are pretty expensive for providing something you can very easily DIY for significantly cheaper even with the latest hardware.
Was in a similar boat and just ended up taking an old HP desktop and added some cheap HDDs. I ended up playing around with proper Fedora for some LVM cache tricks and running some other services, but the common suggestion for this is SnapRAID and Nextcloud.
Lol wait till you see any of the Pakistan or India related articles. Its like the Ganges river in text form.
Still less annoying than trying to build something from source in which the dev claims has like 3 dependencies but in reality requires 500mb of random packages you’ve never even heard of, all while their build system doesn’t do any pre comp checking so the build fails after a solid hours of compilation.
