If I am thinking about replacing my old Synology NAS (9 years old + 9yo drives) what are my options? #lazyfedi #lazyweb

#lazyweb Can someone give me some good 7-letter magic hex constants? E.g. 0xdeadbee... huh... I guess that works. Must be exactly seven letters.

Does anyone know of any publications by US feds giving guidance for mitigating ClickFix? Ideally ones that say to disable run. Asking for someone trying to get a CISO to give a fuck and let someone do something about it. Edit: Thanks for poking around. I'm not seeing quite what I was looking for but here are a couple vendor parts with what I was looking for: https://assets.recordedfuture.com/insikt-report-pdfs/2026/cta-2026-0325.pdf ( thanks @badsamurai@infosec.exchange ) https://unit42.paloaltonetworks.com/preventing-clickfix-attack-vector/ #lazyWeb

#LazyWeb I'm looking to host some git repositories in my homelab. I'm tempted to use Forgejo, but it feels overkill for my usecase. I don't need issues, a web based Pull Request workflow, CI, open registration, or any of other other bells and whistles. All I really want is a web interface to show me the history, branches, tags, and diffs in each commit. All actual operations will happen with local git on my development machine. Does anyone have something like that they love? @homelab@fedigroups.social

If I want to support both SQLite and Postgres, do I have to resort to having two parallel sets of scripts basically? Is there a way, inside a .sql script, to determine which database backend I’m running and branch to at least keep the parts that differ in the same file? #LazyWeb #SQL #SQLite #Postgres

Hello #Lazyweb. Does anybody have a suggestion for a surprisingly-good-for-the-price set of headphones? Good enough for podcasting (rather than music production) is the target. Edit: Wires are preferred over bluetooth, and as a general rule compatibility with >10 year old devices a distinct advantage.

any ruggedized android phones not made by smasnug or a no-name brand anymore? i really like my nokia, but it will age out of security updates soon. has to have an sd slot, headphone jack would be nice but not mandatory. #lazyweb

#lazyWeb having just discovered that my netbook has a curved keyboard due to the spicy battery in it, I'm going to be looking for a new *light* laptop. It needs to run Linux, and be powerful enough to code on but small enough to carry easily. A native HDMI port would be nice but not essential #linux #netbook #laptops

is there a remote switchable plug that doesn't require a ton of setup, account logins, or depend on external server connectivity? it needs to do ~1500W 13A. i just want to turn on my kettle without going downstairs first. i do not use any home automation and am not interested in it. i just want to control a single plug. #lazyweb

I've usually relied on K3b for burning data and music CDs, but it's been a few years since I looked for any alternatives.

This is probably not a task that's receiving a lot of attention these days, though maybe discontent with streaming services has encouraged people to think more about it lately.

I haven't been doing much of it myself, but my daughter asked me recently to show her how to burn music CDs* and I've been poking at it again.

Does anybody have a better suggestion for making music CDs? Only open-source applications that work on Linux need apply...

• Yes, I was very excited to show her how to do this. If I were younger and less fat, I would've done a cartwheel.

#LazyWeb Assuming you have USB Thumb Drive that has two connection points being the 'latest' USB-A and USB-C versions connectors Is the USB-C faster? or are they the same. 🤔 #USB #ThumbDrive #Tech

Hey internet. I'm looking for a webhoster to get my new website up and running. I'm using a static site generator, so no PHP, database or other shenanigans needed. Just files on a webserver (that I don't have to manage myself). I'm aware of most of the obvious options (GH pages, CF pages, GL pages, Vercel, Netlify, etc. etc.) but I'd prefer a small-ish non-VC non-AI company/org, ideally European. Any recommendations? Boosts welcome! #lazyWeb #fediAsk #askFedi

Does anyone have a favorite guide for de-googling their lives? I’ve got a personal Google workspace account and I’ve lived with the ick long enough. Time to eject and go some combination of indie, open source and self-hosted. #lazyweb #degoogle #selfhosting #askfedi

I already have a pikapods.com account, which means I could run a nextcloud instance for about $7/month (to start, no idea how much it would be if I actually imported everything) and replace GMail, Calendar, Drive, Docs, Sheets, etc. So, umm, maybe I don't need a guide, I just need willpower. The scariest thing is probably going through my password manager and figuring out EVERYWHERE I've used Login With Google and migrating those to a password. #lazyweb #degoogle #selfhosting #askfedi

Friends, I need some help and advice. Microsoft recently announced retirement of Microsoft-provided SMS and voice authentication in Entra ID. Of course, "good", you say -- me, too. But I'm working with an organization that has some extremely non-techie employees, and I've got to figure out the easiest path to help them get properly on-boarded with Passkeys. Microsoft Authenticator seems to support Passkeys natively (the key is stored IN MS Authenticator). Is this the best way to do this? My non-techie users are primarily mobile phone users on Exchange Plan 1 (no "fat" client).

I'M BORED! #lazyweb does anyone know of a Linux distro where: Nothing is ever out of date by more than a few weeks, but things are tested so my system doesn't break.I can use a normal KDE Plasma desktop immediately upon install.It's not Solus. I use Solus. It's great, but I'M BORED. Thank you!

#Lazyweb. An affordable power bank with a lot of capacity and at least 4-6 USB(-C, PD) connectors so I can wire up my groove boy and a few other audio devices for a compact #dawless setup. I will solder some USB-C PD cables for the different voltages my Volcas, the EP 40 and other devices require.

#lazyweb Can anyone recommend a slop-free static site generator? Preferably in Rust or Python?

If I can't trust that the #Linux kernel won't be slop-free, looks like it's time to consider #BSD for the first time in three decades or so. Therefore, I'm going to need some input. Advice on which BSD for desktop use. Will I be screwed in terms of gaming (my laptop has a 5070) via Steam/wine/Proton? #FreeBSD #OpenBSD #NetBSD #BastilleBSD #UNIX #LazyWeb #LazyFedi
