if you swear at it it gets upset and just does a "beeboop"

solid pollen Feb 23, 2020, 12:49 PM

#

beeboop is the upset alexa

rough sapphire Feb 23, 2020, 12:49 PM

for a while "Alexa, can you please fuck off?" said "Sorry, I don't know that one"

gentle moss Feb 23, 2020, 12:50 PM

they keep trying to make it more human and i'm not fond of it

undone berry Feb 23, 2020, 12:50 PM

#

One day, Alexa's gonna tell you to fuck off back and turn off all your lights or something

wheat lynx Feb 23, 2020, 12:50 PM

#

That would be a great feature

gentle moss Feb 23, 2020, 12:50 PM

#

good thing i don't want a smart home

solid pollen Feb 23, 2020, 12:50 PM

#

"Sure about that? Okay, I'm turning your tv off"

wheat lynx Feb 23, 2020, 12:50 PM

#

If they introduced that, i would get one

sand goblet Feb 23, 2020, 12:51 PM

#

the general smart home paranoia is mostly unfounded

#

just don't buy shit devices

#

and keep things local

gentle moss Feb 23, 2020, 12:51 PM

#

i use it to convert weights and measures, play some music and sometimes look stuff up when my hands are too dirty to touch stuff

undone berry Feb 23, 2020, 12:51 PM

#

The thing is, people don't know to do that

#

And theres not really any good way for normal people to get informed about this stuff

#

Also, people over like 40 are regularly just astoundingly shit with technology. My uncle/aunt have a bunch of the smart home stuff just set up in the shittest possible ways

#

so theres near constant fucking binging and bonging from random triggers on random stuff

sand goblet Feb 23, 2020, 12:53 PM

#

I've been considering setting up like

#

as a sort of smart home consultant

#

but I wonder if there's really a market for it here haha

undone berry Feb 23, 2020, 12:54 PM

#

I think you'd have a hard time persuading people that it was a useful service

#

even though it definitely would be

sand goblet Feb 23, 2020, 12:54 PM

#

I mean, I don't think it'd be that hard

#

not if I provided the full package

#

drive out, come look at your house, see what you'd like automated, buy and install the hardware

undone berry Feb 23, 2020, 12:55 PM

#

I guess if you installed shit as well, people might go for it

gentle moss Feb 23, 2020, 12:58 PM

#

yeah, you'd need some liability shit though

undone berry Feb 23, 2020, 12:58 PM

#

I dunno. You're on par with like a window installer person at that point

#

probably not too many legal issues

gentle moss Feb 23, 2020, 12:59 PM

#

if the windows leak ya know

undone berry Feb 23, 2020, 12:59 PM

#

There's not really legal issues there. Just if he did a shit job he's meant to fix it right

#

or if the windows were defective, he goes to the window makers

#

and the same holds true for smart devices

gentle moss Feb 23, 2020, 1:00 PM

#

if the windows leaked and caused damage

#

f.ex

#

not sure how you could fuck up so bad with smart devices

#

but you know

undone berry Feb 23, 2020, 1:00 PM

#

I dunno - I'm not sure how liable mr window actually is in that case

#

and in a practical sense

#

you're probably never getting any money out of mr window

#

because dealing with shitty tradespeople is impossible

gentle moss Feb 23, 2020, 1:01 PM

#

i imagine they'd have to have some liability insurance in the case where they did fuck shit up

#

at least a good traders person would

undone berry Feb 23, 2020, 1:03 PM

#

bigger companies might, but I don't think most smaller ones do

#

mostly because they're largely self employed

#

rather than registered as limited

#

meaning theres not very much regulation surrounding them

gentle moss Feb 23, 2020, 1:05 PM

#

i suppose

#

glad i'm pretty good at DIY tbh

#

in that dream where i own a house i'd have very little need for a handy man

undone berry Feb 23, 2020, 1:06 PM

#

medium+ plumbing/electric jobs are like the only things that aren't feasible to DIY

#

if you're alright at it

gentle moss Feb 23, 2020, 1:06 PM

#

even if you were good with electrics you'd need a qualified spark to vet them

#

else good luck getting home insurance

undone berry Feb 23, 2020, 1:07 PM

#

Yeah, I'm not really sure how much you can/can't do yourself with electrical stuff

rough sapphire Feb 23, 2020, 1:15 PM

#

the general smart home paranoia is mostly unfounded
@sand goblet the more I've worked in my industry, the more I've realised how fucking wrong this is

sand goblet Feb 23, 2020, 1:16 PM

#

Nobody is going to snoop on you across the internet using your local z-wave and zigbee devices

#

nobody is going to snoop on you across the internet with your home assistant instance that you didn't expose to the internet

rough sapphire Feb 23, 2020, 1:17 PM

#

if it's internet facing and does anything relatively "smart", it is exposed to the internet

sand goblet Feb 23, 2020, 1:17 PM

#

Well, neither of those things are

rough sapphire Feb 23, 2020, 1:17 PM

#

if it grabs updates, it is exposed to the internet

sand goblet Feb 23, 2020, 1:17 PM

#

And home assistant itself has a very good security track record from what I've seen

#

which isn't a surprise given that it's a massive open source project

vestal briar Feb 23, 2020, 1:18 PM

#

We talking about iot now 👀

sand goblet Feb 23, 2020, 1:18 PM

#

zigbee/z-wave are inherantly local-only protocols, they don't do internet

rough sapphire Feb 23, 2020, 1:18 PM

#

that really does not matter at all

#

it communicates with your phone, which is connected to the internet

sand goblet Feb 23, 2020, 1:19 PM

#

it doesn't, actually

undone berry Feb 23, 2020, 1:19 PM

#

How much value even is there in snooping on random people?

sand goblet Feb 23, 2020, 1:19 PM

#

I could see there being value if you were like, snooping mics somehow

#

or cameras

undone berry Feb 23, 2020, 1:19 PM

#

Even then, I don't think its a good value proposition

#

the amount of inanity you'd have to sift through to find something useful

sand goblet Feb 23, 2020, 1:19 PM

#

it would be an awful lot of work for little payoff, true

undone berry Feb 23, 2020, 1:19 PM

#

would be insane

rough sapphire Feb 23, 2020, 1:19 PM

#

it would be an awful lot of work

#

you really don't understand how insecure these things are

sand goblet Feb 23, 2020, 1:20 PM

#

I'm quite aware, thanks

undone berry Feb 23, 2020, 1:20 PM

#

But what happens when a device is compromised?

vestal briar Feb 23, 2020, 1:20 PM

#

Aren't iot stuff generally joked about for how insecure they are

sand goblet Feb 23, 2020, 1:20 PM

#

Honestly I don't think people are trying to comporomise IoT devices for their snoop potential

#

you mostly hear about people using them for botnets

#

but people might be targetted for snooping, that's certainly a thing

undone berry Feb 23, 2020, 1:21 PM

#

Ransomware and snooping are the two concerns I hear about

#

neither of which is that major

vestal briar Feb 23, 2020, 1:21 PM

#

My lightbulb is going to be ddossing now?

undone berry Feb 23, 2020, 1:21 PM

#

imo

sand goblet Feb 23, 2020, 1:21 PM

#

what hax is saying is that it's often possible to intercept things like updates and modify them, I think

rough sapphire Feb 23, 2020, 1:21 PM

#

they are often used to pivot into internal networks as well

sand goblet Feb 23, 2020, 1:21 PM

#

right, that's a thing as well

undone berry Feb 23, 2020, 1:22 PM

#

So what, you use the iot devices to get access to some plebs router, then you can see stuff like https traffic in plaintext?

vestal briar Feb 23, 2020, 1:22 PM

#

Bet the nsa fucking love iot

rough sapphire Feb 23, 2020, 1:22 PM

#

that's not how https works

undone berry Feb 23, 2020, 1:22 PM

#

well, https is on the device iirc

#

so thats a bad example

#

but

sand goblet Feb 23, 2020, 1:22 PM

#

yeah that's just not https

undone berry Feb 23, 2020, 1:22 PM

#

some other protocol

sand goblet Feb 23, 2020, 1:22 PM

#

haha

#

you could intercept rtsp I suppose

rough sapphire Feb 23, 2020, 1:22 PM

#

more often, the internal network is scanned for vulnerable windows machines etc

sand goblet Feb 23, 2020, 1:23 PM

#

yeah

#

but I still don't see this as a major concern if you're buying the right devices and have your network set up correctly

rough sapphire Feb 23, 2020, 1:23 PM

#

ie unpatched machines you can simply eternalblue as SYSTEM into and work from there

undone berry Feb 23, 2020, 1:23 PM

#

I dunno. I still don't see this as that bad of a value proposition for the average pleb

vestal briar Feb 23, 2020, 1:24 PM

#

Feels like saying as long as you have locked your windows, the hurricane that's coming in your direction is fine

rough sapphire Feb 23, 2020, 1:24 PM

#

@sand goblet i've tested two iot devices (one from a relatively "big-name" company) which I have been able to compromise remotely with relative ease

sand goblet Feb 23, 2020, 1:24 PM

#

I'd be quite sure in saying I don't use either of them

#

I'm assuming you tested a smartthings hub

#

which, yeah, those are kind of crap

rough sapphire Feb 23, 2020, 1:24 PM

#

dunno what smartthings is

sand goblet Feb 23, 2020, 1:24 PM

#

Samsung's IoT platform

rough sapphire Feb 23, 2020, 1:25 PM

#

nah

sand goblet Feb 23, 2020, 1:25 PM

#

you can just straight up run groovy on that thing

#

The setup I use is to run home assistant (via their OS) on a raspberry pi, and z-wave everything I can

#

everything I can't gets its own isolated network

#

the only device on both networks is the HA pi

#

so the HA would be my single point of failure

#

HA does have its own security docs as well https://www.home-assistant.io/docs/security/

@rough sapphire

If you count the thunderbolt spec with DMA and the mouse with the charging port on the bottom which makes it useless while charging "better", sure.

I was gonna bring up firewire too, but that hasn't been a thing on newer computers.

undone berry Feb 24, 2020, 10:33 AM

Oh certainly, but it doesn't change Apple's planned obsolescence approach to most anything.

sand goblet Feb 24, 2020, 10:50 AM

#

one of the iPhones completely lost coverage if you held it a certain way

gentle moss Feb 24, 2020, 10:50 AM

#

the outside metal frame was also the antennae

#

2 actually

#

one for phone signal and one for wifi i think

#

and they were split by a tiny gap

#

if your hands were sweaty you'd bridge them

#

and drop your attenuation

sand reef Feb 24, 2020, 10:51 AM

Now they just have a bigger gap.

I'm not saying they must be good. I'm just saying something like the internal design which is very much an engineering challenge that is very measurable (not a design choice like with the antennae hting), they can probably get it reasonably right

if you're gonna wear headphones for ages you want some good ones

Normally it's sneezes that do that to me, though

@gentle moss Funny you mention that

I actually have something called Achoo syndrome

When I step out into bright light, I do tend to sneeze twice

It's something to do with a temporary photo sensitivity when you go from indoors to out

If you turned the lights off, then after 10 minutes stared into a bright lamp, could you manually trigger it?

unnecessary pings while doing something productive ruins it .

Sir Humphrey from Yes Minister

actually never mind

#

he's a bit of a stuck up twat

the Vicar from the Vicar of Dibley?

i suppose the thing that makes the characters useful in the sitcom is that they have glaring flaws, else they'd be a bit boring.

undone berry Feb 25, 2020, 5:31 PM

#

Yeah, thats true, but I feel like US sitcoms still portray them as fundamentally nice people, but UK stuff just portrays people as outright pricks

#

Like, if there was a US fawlty towers, they'd try and make Fawlty seem likable somehow

gentle moss Feb 25, 2020, 5:32 PM

#

i suppose that's because we prefer that sort of thing

#

americans are weirdly positive and want that reflected in their TV

undone berry Feb 25, 2020, 5:32 PM

yeah. I've never watched a US sitcom where I haven't gotten sick of the characters fairly quickly

but the approaches to comedy is vastly different

undone berry Feb 25, 2020, 5:34 PM

#

Just seeing the US version creep into other things as jokes/memes is enough to make me dislike it

Definitely, but I think US people can generally appreciate British humour. But the reverse isn't true, a lot of US comedy just falls flat here

#

#career-advice

gentle moss Feb 25, 2020, 5:35 PM

True, whereas an optimist can probably take a bit of pessimism in their stride

undone berry Feb 25, 2020, 5:50 PM

No. Birmingham accents sound friendly, scouse accents have associations of being unfriendly, untrustworthy, and not smart. Newcastle accents are just seen as not smart iirc

gotta get use out of a level english language somehow

I don't actually remember general York accents

so you might be right about those

that's unusual, that an arch mirror is out of date

rough sapphire Feb 26, 2020, 11:08 AM

#

interestingly, that (and electron) were the only packages which were outdated

#

everything else was up to date

#

i have no idea why this would happen

sand goblet Feb 26, 2020, 11:08 AM

#

perhaps the org that runs it just hates discord

haha

rough sapphire Feb 26, 2020, 11:09 AM

the best part is that I googled the mirror name + discord, and found this https://appuals.com/fix-discord-not-updating/

I'm thinking of running the first arch mirror in estonia once I get my gigabit connection

gentle moss Feb 26, 2020, 1:02 PM

what's the price of a gig connection there?

rough sapphire Feb 26, 2020, 1:26 PM

I get it for 40 euros a month

what are the prices like around your parts @gentle moss?

gentle moss Feb 26, 2020, 1:44 PM

#

impossible

#

like i'd have to get them to dig up about 10 miles of road

#

no, 15 miles

#

at best i can get 300/150 for something like £500 a month

rough sapphire Feb 26, 2020, 1:46 PM

gentle moss Feb 26, 2020, 1:46 PM

UK is way behind in infra

#

atm i'm on 80/40 and that costs £50p/m

rough sapphire Feb 26, 2020, 1:46 PM

#

that really sucks

gentle moss Feb 26, 2020, 1:47 PM

#

yeah, back in the 80's there was a bill or option put forward to parliament that would've invested shit loads in fibre

#

and parliament turned it down

#

because "the free market" will do it

rough sapphire Feb 26, 2020, 1:48 PM

#

maybe there's no market

gentle moss Feb 26, 2020, 1:50 PM

no, infrastructure is very much a government job

that includes the internet tubes

sorry

uwu

gentle moss Feb 26, 2020, 1:54 PM

#

anyway, the problem in the UK occured because parliament refused to fund expansion of fibre

#

while scandinavian countries were doing the same with government funding

#

so we have a massively stagnated internet infrastructure compared to a lot of europe

#

it's only now we're even starting to get FTTP

#

through.... government funding.

#

could've done it 30-40 years ago

#

it would've cost less over all

telco's who intentionally avoid competition in areas where there is market dominance by another telco

a.k.a. price fixing and monopoly

rough sapphire Feb 26, 2020, 1:57 PM

#

telco isn't a very profitable business.. they avoid incurring costs wherever if they can manage it

#

look what happened to google fiber

gentle moss Feb 26, 2020, 1:57 PM

#

that's a shit argument

rough sapphire Feb 26, 2020, 1:57 PM

#

;p

gentle moss Feb 26, 2020, 1:58 PM

#

the reason there's no competition is because the FCC is owned by the main telco's

rough sapphire Feb 26, 2020, 1:58 PM

#

really.. I thought it was a federal agency

gentle moss Feb 26, 2020, 1:58 PM

#

check out who has been the chair or on the board in the past 20 years

#

ex-lobbyists from telcos

#

check out how much money gets to senators / congresspeople from telcos

these are issues that don't seem to occur around the rest of the world

#

I see what you mean

gentle moss Feb 26, 2020, 2:02 PM

#

the "free market", as the republicans call it, has fucked US internet infrastructure

rough sapphire Feb 26, 2020, 2:03 PM

#

afaik they didn't have any plan to expand that via government funding in the first place.. they've always relied on private companies

gentle moss Feb 26, 2020, 2:03 PM

#

my internet bills are higher than @rough sapphire's, but they're about 1/4 of a US citizens

#

plus i have more options of provider

#

and that's exactly the problem tron.

#

infrastructure as a whole is the governments purview

#

not private industry

#

private industry has not bothered in upgrading their aging infrastructure because they're after profit

undone berry Feb 26, 2020, 2:05 PM

#

Virgin are the only company that isn't operating on teh same infrastructure - every other company is just juggling costs and not real competition

gentle moss Feb 26, 2020, 2:05 PM

#

there's no profit in laying fibre to each house if they're already making bank off shit infra

#

that's not true in reecent years Charlie

#

but you're right. previously you had BT and Virgin

#

then you've got ISP's renting BT cables and equipment, or going the LLU route

undone berry Feb 26, 2020, 2:06 PM

#

Who else is doing meaningful infra?

gentle moss Feb 26, 2020, 2:06 PM

#

in my local area there's a company called Gigaclear

#

they've got their own fibre infra

#

and are expanding it

undone berry Feb 26, 2020, 2:06 PM

#

Ah fair

#

Its good that new companies are entering the market

#

I don't like giving Virgin my money

gentle moss Feb 26, 2020, 2:07 PM

#

the market is slightly different now since there was government funding into laying fibre

#

and that's why the scandinavian nations have great internet in general

#

government investment in the infrastructure

#

just as you'd invest in roads
