What are your thoughts on the alternative path the article talks about "...zeroconf, mDNS, or DNS-SD advertisements"?

Basically an unauthenticated perl interpreter with root open to the network by default in most configurations across a couple decades.

It's about as bad as it can be?

Oh there's a fun legal problem at play here.

Depending on the region its likely fine to only accept card for goods being offered.

However it's not fine to only accept cards in a scenario of debt. (The idea you've consumed or changed something before paying)

So even with all this signage if the pump allows you to pump before payment. You'll need to accept cash as the business or be willing to provide them an invoice to be paid out later through the banks.

You might argue that the fuel is in the tank just take it back. However, this will not be the same fuel that is being sold. As it's now had an opportunity to be contaminated by whatever was in the vehicles tank. Taking that contaminated fuel and putting it back in the main holding tank would potentially be considered as fraud.

Edit: so many labels I thought I was looking at a gas station self serve haha not a grocery store.

Your best advantage with dropbox is that it's not at home.

Backups tend to play their biggest role when something catastrophic has occurred such as a house fire, theft or ransomware.

Laptops are typically built with power efficiency in mind, so as long as you've configured it to save power it should be fine. Look into a feature set called "Advanced Power Management".

Your #2 question has some ambiguity. It's ultimately influenced by how you're configuring it and what tools you'll be using. I'm not familiar with the tool you mentioned.

For your question #4. Keep in mind that you'll need to factor in the age of hardware and confirm the health of the HDD. Having a newer piece of hardware controlling the show like a pi would possibly be more reliable but there's too many unknowns here to be certain.

Since you're working with just Linux systems you could probably get away with copying the /home partition and storing it in multiple places.

It's wise to check hash values of the files copied to confirm they didn't get corrupted in flight.

It's also possible that you'll encounter insidious malware that intentionally messes with your backups. So if you're using SSH for example it may attempt to use the stored credentials to do awful things to the server.

So using a service like crashplan for critical stuff might be easier.

This is entirely nostalgia talking but does anyone else wonder why they never made another one?

Twilight princess came close in some sections but the spooky theme just never seemed to come back.

That last page is adorable and hilarious.

Oh wow this is high resolution.

I had to really think about how this qualified as a morph. Then I realized 😮 and I feel silly for thinking about it for so long

The printer may be configured to only accept print jobs from the print server. Followed by the print server being configured to only accept jobs from authorized devices?

(Great pic)
