If that is the most realistic anime fight scene ever then I want whatever drugs you are on.

Choreography wise, it is not all that dissimilar from a lot of the “We are both low on energy” fights in Yu Yu Hakusho or any other shonen where they wanted to show off that some of the animators actually know martial arts. It is good choreography, but it is still explosions when people punch things and people largely no selling a street fight.

I just use a pretty generic z-wave plug and home assistant. In the past I did more complex setups that actually determine what process is spiking and so forth. But eventually realized that “this is doing a lot of compute…” is a catch all for a LOT of potential issues.

And I guess I don’t understand what you mean by “shouldn’t be wireless”. It is inherently going to be wireless because you will be on your phone on the other side of the planet. If you genuinely suspect you will be vulnerable to attacks of this scale then you… probably have other things to worry about.

But as a safety blanket?

With my firewall disabled a lot of my internal network (including home assistant) will fall over sooner than later.

But that is also a recipe for mass stress. Because I know “something happened”. And now I know “in six hours, I need to check in and make sure that ‘something’ is still not happening”. Which is extra shitty if I got the notification late evening local time.

I have friends/neighbors that I trust to swing by and push a button in the event I need to bring it back up before I get home. But if I have reached the point of “it is possible my wireguard credentials were compromised?” then I really don’t need to be able to download the next episode of ATLA NOW.

Never used it “in anger” but:

I have my firewall plugged into a metered outlet (plugged into a UPS). I have it set up to send me alerts if power draw increases beyond a certain threshold. I’ve tested it and wireguard is measurable (yay) but so are DDOS attacks. If I get that alert, I can choose to turn off that plug and take my whole network offline until I get home and can sort that out.

Gotten a few false positives over the years but mostly that is just texting my partner to ask what they are doing.

Oooooooh.

Thanks. Will take a look to try and figure out their terminology for this.

I think that is the seat based one I see recommended all the time.

I understand that hub and spoke models are inherently questionable security wise and switching to a mesh based approach is probably the answer. But it tends to make for a mess of needing to make sure my various “homelab” servers are aware and so forth.

Yeah. I expect basically any publicly available instances to get C&Ds REAL fast.

And a p2p archive.org will basically never work. For the same reasons that the various NSFW lemmy instances get defederated from almost instantly. Because there is room for discussion on sites that highlight nudity in movies. There isn’t much room to discuss when it is nothing but revenge porn, “fappening links”, ripped OF content, and (inevitably) child porn.

Stuff like this… I am sure there are niches but I am not seeing a lot of benefit over either a folder or a notes app that lets me upload PDFs (or even just google drive). But once you try to build a “community” you are going to have the same moderation issues amplified a hundred fold.

Ah, I was not aware of a way to bridge two channels/servers entirely. I know there are bots that people use to bridge their user accounts though.

If it is fully seamless? Sure. But I don’t know why you are bothering then. But if it adds a “Bot” tag or any other hoops, you are still just making a worse experience for everyone. We ran into this back in the IRC days all the time.

So… split the user (and support) base while invariably emphasizing the shortcomings of Matrix?
