It will have had to. Many of the most common from pre 2012 are not allowed at banks. And no 4 consecutive digits are.

Thanks! I may investigate some, too, we shall see.

Holistic is probably not Wholistic because an author wanted to sound smart (lemmy.nowsci.com)
 

The author of Holism and Evolution, Jan Smuts, used the Greek word "holos" as the root of "holism" instead of "whole" (the book was English, and "whole" was commonplace). In later years, wholistic was coined, but never caught on. While there could be other reasons for the choice than making it sound more scientific, it sure seems to be the case.

This is one of those examples of the English language that annoys me.

Except no dates. This chart is soooooo old.

Using the same digit 4 times is no longer allowed most places, but this chart shows them being pretty popular.

This chart has no sourcing or date associated. Is it old?

Edit: Yes, it is. Here is the excellent source article: http://www.datagenetics.com/blog/september32012/

So it's from 2012, and used historic breach data from years before then.

In other words, this chart is wholly inacurate now.

Make a dummy Google Account, and log into it when on the VPN. Having an ad history avoids the blocks usually. (Note: only do this if your browsing is not activist related/etc)

Also, if it's image captchas that never end, switch to the accessibility option for the captcha.

This 100% needs to be reported. First to KIA, then to the media after whatever time is required to pass for responsible disclosure in your country/region.

Coming across this now, did you ever explore options?

Could I combine a magnetic pad with a sewing/cutting mat? in c/[email protected]
[โ€“] [email protected] 2 points 1 day ago

Yea that's my biggest worry. I'm wondering if a mat over sheet would be too much since the sheet can only have so much density.

Could I combine a magnetic pad with a sewing/cutting mat? (lemmy.nowsci.com)
 

So there are tons of 12"x9" magnetic grids out there for dropping screws onto when taking apart electronics, but my projects typically involve integration into other materials.

Having a sewing mat (about 24"x18") with all the metric/imperial grid lines and angle lines, but with a magnetic backing for holding screws in place would be perfect.

Has anyone ever tried to make a DIY magnetic desk pad? And if so, how did it go?

How do bikinis not feel just as exposing as underwear? in c/[email protected]
[โ€“] [email protected] 15 points 3 days ago

Do what makes you comfortable.

You'll be out with family and friends, in an environment where most any swimsuit would be expected. Any lack of confidence would come from your own internal comfort, so you do you.

As a more practical suggestion if you're on the fence, wear a wrap? Then you can decide how you feel in the moment.

Really wish the DLC for this was still available. Slay away Camp is good, but this was so much better and I missed out on the DLC..

Pass Bluetooth or USB direct to Proton game? (lemmy.nowsci.com)
 

Hi all,

I'm going to try getting Zwift (a game that connects to Bluetooth, WiFi, or ANT+ bike trainers) running in Linux.

I'm pretty sure I can do this with my trainer since mine supports WiFi connectivity, but am curious as to if I could make it work with trainers that only support BT or ANT+.

I've previously done stuff like USB and PCI pass-through with KVM, but is this possible with Steam and Proton?

Thanks.

MiniITX for NAS (lemmy.nowsci.com)
 

Hi all,

I've been thinking about picking up an N150 or 5825U MiniITX board for a NAS, but I'm wondering if there are better options given my requirements.

  • At least 2x 2.5Gb LAN
  • A 10Gb LAN, or 2.5Gb if not
  • 2x NVME
  • 8x SATA for spinning disks
  • 2x SATA for SSDs
  • MiniITX is required for the 10" rack
  • 64+ Gigs of RAM (ZFS cache) (This is not possible on an N150)

The problem I'm running into with the boards I've looked at is PCIe lanes, and not having ways to expand the sata or network ports without stealing from NVME.

I've started to look at boards with PCIe 4.0x16 slots and risers/splitters for expansion, but then I can't find low power CPUs for them.

Thoughts?

Name my homelab! What should my hostnames be? (lemmy.nowsci.com)
 

Hi everyone,

I've been a single-server built from whatever desktop I upgraded for years kind of guy, with a hostname of the street it is on (better than server, which is what it used to be).

However, at some point in the future my home lab will be located in a place I will not have immediate access to, and since it's getting on in age and due for an upgrade anyway, I'm going to build in some redundancy. So, current names:

  • OPNsense micro-router: ingress01
  • OPNsense backup: ingress02
  • Cluster micro-server with essential services: cluster01
  • Cluster micro-server with non-essential services and replicated essential services: cluster02
  • NAS: nas
  • Powered on remotely when needed:
    • Mac mini dev/release box: macmini
    • Primary remote development server (basically my old desktop): desktop

Bring on the Mini-MacMinifaces, and any other ideas you have.

Docker to Kubernetes, ZFS to ... ? (lemmy.nowsci.com)
 

cross-posted from: https://lemmy.nowsci.com/post/13005097

Hi all,

I've been running a bunch of services in docker containers using Docker Compose for a while now, with data storage on ZRAID mirrored NVME and/or ZRAID2 HDDs.

I've been thinking about moving from my single server setup to three micro-servers (Intel N150s), both for redundancy, learning, and fun.

Choosing Kubernetes was easy, but I'd like to get some outside opinions on storage. Some examples of how I'm using storage:

  1. Media and large data storage: Currently on the ZRAID2 HDDs, will stay here but be migrated to a dedicated NAS
  2. High IO workloads like Postgresql and email: Currently running on the NVMEs
  3. General low-volume storage: Also currently on NVMEs, but different use case. These are lower IO, like data storage for Nextcloud, Immich, etc

I'm a huge fan of being able to snapshot with ZFS, as I mirror all my data off-site with hourly pushes for some container data, and daily for the rest. I'd like to be able to continue this kind of block-level backups if possible.

Assume I'm a noob at Kubernetes storage (have been reading, but still fresh to me). I'd love to know how others would set up their storage interfaces for this.

I'm trying to understand if there's a way to have the storage "RAIDed" across the drives in the three micro-servers, or if things work differently than I expect. Thanks!
