@sic_semper_tyrannis @flork I have a similar tiny PC. There’s a few manufacturers of similar items, some even have like 4 or 6 m2 slots to make excellent little NAS or similar.
From memory, Geekcom (Sp?). have a look on your favourite AliExpress-type mart. Intel N100 or N150 CPUs seem to the thing, but beware of the RAM limits for those if that’s a thing for you. There are some fun AMD ones out there too.

@non_burglar @Damage Are they just TOTP authentication codes you need? If so, you there’s alternatives

@WhatAmLemmy @saltesc I think the handed over Squeezebox when deciding they’d done enough squeezing?

@Wispy2891 just wanting to say, best avatar i’ve seen for a while. love it.

@MTZ @SidewaysHighways You may wish to disable all browser password managers, on all devices and use an alternate method of password management that suits your needs.
This is a cautionary tale on browser password managers (amongst other facepalms) that saw about millions of people’s personal details stolen - https://www.oaic.gov.au//_/_data/assets/pdf/_file/0037/228979/Medibank-data-breach-alleged-timeline-infographic.pdf

@Dust0741 transfer it to a VoIP number and have a VoIP app on your data-only SIM. Unless your data-only SIM provider does some blocking

@rumba Wi-Fi network, mobile network, dates, times, user profile, what’s watched, screen size, installation platform - probably a lot of the same techniques that browser fingerprinting uses

@rumba @tatterdemalion if the app/device is collecting location and sending various other data then they’ll be feeding that into their decision making

@oldmansbeard @nfreak If the device you’re playing them on can run www.last.fm app then that would give you that kind of insight to the data it uploads on your listening habits

@Profligate_parasite @thejml #PiHole sits in your network replacing your existing DNS server you may have configured. By using a specified blocklist(s) it’s mostly used to block adverts and malware sites. Can be very effectives. Can take a little tinkering, for example one side-effect for me was it blocking a local TV streaming app.
To start with I put one on a free cloud provider, with a VPN from my router to it and played with it until I was happy.

@Nollij @Toralv ahhh #Smoothwall… takes me back to dual Slot 2 Pentium 2 full tower in my cellar next to the old coal chute

@rumba @ruffsl never underestimate the lure of a single pane of glass approach

@SheeEttin @AdrianTheFrog +1 Email for me is basically irrelevant. MFA resets, adverts from companies I forgot to unsubscribe from and a couple of bills. No personal correspondence or anything I would think is worth self-hosting it for these days. Other than many headaches.

@BigTrout75 @Squiddork and ffs print out some instructions on how to access it all. And tell someone where you’ve put that.
Consider using a decent password manager and you’ll only need to let your loved ones know how to get into that.

@Ek-Hou-Van-Braai depends what you’re labbing. any sort of virtualisation etc then a mini PC from Beelink or Bosgame etc. networking have a look at Ubiquiti stuff.
yes, you can get “refurbished” stuff pike Cisco switches or whatever. but consider if big, old, slow, power hungry, umsupported kit is what you are ok with (it may well be)

@Lodespawn @EvilBit that sounds like a shortcut to a bad time

@p03locke @shalafi i have a primary email that uses a TLD released in 2014. I use it for any mails that aren’t e.g. government or financial. The number of systems/servers/transports that haven’t been updated to accept it is quite an annoyance.
I avoid email anyway.

@ivanafterall @ramble81 IRC with emoticons

@SLVRDRGN @TokenEffort I feel the same when handed an iThing these days. I don’t think it helps that the ones I’m handed have had everything on them moved around and whatnot by children.
