    @Frosby This was on my YouTube feed today -

    Damn chrome tracking.

    Use Firefox without any privacy addons. Maybe time to add those as well.

    We don't know how they even tracking. Some times we get product recommendations or news recommendations when we discuss things at home. I think may be its my echo.

    I have had the same experience. Musk once mentioned the new AirPods (unreleased, Ig) had the capability to read brain signals - https://www.letemsvetemapplem.eu/en/2024/08/19/elon-musk-rekl-ze-airpods-jsou-nejnebezpecnejsi-produkt-na-svete-akorat-ze-vubec/

    It's scary why my phone could be doing, when even smaller AirPods are capable of that.

    Just had some experience few hours back. Me and my wife were discussing about our weights. 5 minutes later a notification came on my wife's mobile about some news article for weight loss. :D

    This is, to say the very least, scary!

    Obviously. These experiences are getting frequent. Have to turnoff some devices and test this.

    I don't think anything will work. We are surrounded by Chinese made smartphones. Until or unless someone's ready to make a very deep dive into these devices, we will never know for sure.

    The reason i run own adguard DNS server is to block almost all the analytics and telemetry services from the devices i own, on the run i am the DNS over TLS running on my devices if not connected to a VPN service(again on one of my servers), I am thinking of adding another server with 3500x(got spare), GA A520m K, 32GB ECC DDR4, 1-2TB nvme and 2x 2-4TB HDD in RAID10, for bunch of containers and services, i will be relying on using CF tunnel and tailscale. The 3500x will be throttled at 45w max with full load and i might use an old gt720 low profile for occasional checkups requiring a display output.

    Running this at home 24x7?

    Yeah it will run 24x7 unless something fails or power gets disconnected for more than 4 hours. My ups will be able to power this continuously for like 4 hours or something, or i might need a spare inverter for the homelab alone.

    Thats an impressive UPS. What is that? Inverter is the best option though, it powers the whole house along with gadgets..

    I just learned my UPS battery is dead/dying... had a power outage, it lasted 2 mins when it said 30 on the screen... oof

    Time to replace battery. How long did it last? I mean battery life.

    I mean bought it 3 years ago "new in box" (it did appear so at the time) from a homelab dude in the area

    3years is good time for battery I think. How much backup it gave when its new?

    I mean, never had the power go out in college

    I believe most UPS systems say you should replace it like every 2 years. I test mine every spring (well, after all the snow melts/everything dries outside) since I will typically take my systems outside to get rid of any dust they collected... I say mine typically last about 3-4 years. Do not trust a health check unless it actually puts the load on the batteries since I've had them report good but either last a couple minutes or instant off when they lost power. In my home rack, I have two that feed a switched PDU. So I unplug the active one from the wall to see how it behaves and the 2nd can take over. Then I do the same thing to the other one.

    Yup. My APC UPS with two batteries died after 1 and half years. We have frequent outages daily, so I guess it didnt' last long due to that.

    We don't know how they even tracking. Some times we get product recommendations or news recommendations when we discuss things at home. I think may be its my echo.

    I have had the same experience. Musk once mentioned the new AirPods (unreleased, Ig) had the capability to read brain signals - https://www.letemsvetemapplem.eu/en/2024/08/19/elon-musk-rekl-ze-airpods-jsou-nejnebezpecnejsi-produkt-na-svete-akorat-ze-vubec/

    It's scary why my phone could be doing, when even smaller AirPods are capable of that.

    Just had some experience few hours back. Me and my wife were discussing about our weights. 5 minutes later a notification came on my wife's mobile about some news article for weight loss. :D

    This is, to say the very least, scary!

    Obviously. These experiences are getting frequent. Have to turnoff some devices and test this.

    I don't think anything will work. We are surrounded by Chinese made smartphones. Until or unless someone's ready to make a very deep dive into these devices, we will never know for sure.

    The reason i run own adguard DNS server is to block almost all the analytics and telemetry services from the devices i own, on the run i am the DNS over TLS running on my devices if not connected to a VPN service(again on one of my servers), I am thinking of adding another server with 3500x(got spare), GA A520m K, 32GB ECC DDR4, 1-2TB nvme and 2x 2-4TB HDD in RAID10, for bunch of containers and services, i will be relying on using CF tunnel and tailscale. The 3500x will be throttled at 45w max with full load and i might use an old gt720 low profile for occasional checkups requiring a display output.

    Running this at home 24x7?

    Yeah it will run 24x7 unless something fails or power gets disconnected for more than 4 hours. My ups will be able to power this continuously for like 4 hours or something, or i might need a spare inverter for the homelab alone.

    Thats an impressive UPS. What is that? Inverter is the best option though, it powers the whole house along with gadgets..

    I just learned my UPS battery is dead/dying... had a power outage, it lasted 2 mins when it said 30 on the screen... oof

    Time to replace battery. How long did it last? I mean battery life.

    I mean bought it 3 years ago "new in box" (it did appear so at the time) from a homelab dude in the area

    3years is good time for battery I think. How much backup it gave when its new?

    I mean, never had the power go out in college

    I believe most UPS systems say you should replace it like every 2 years. I test mine every spring (well, after all the snow melts/everything dries outside) since I will typically take my systems outside to get rid of any dust they collected... I say mine typically last about 3-4 years. Do not trust a health check unless it actually puts the load on the batteries since I've had them report good but either last a couple minutes or instant off when they lost power. In my home rack, I have two that feed a switched PDU. So I unplug the active one from the wall to see how it behaves and the 2nd can take over. Then I do the same thing to the other one.

    Wish i had the money for that

    Oh yeah, I've been slowly building out my homelab over many many years and piece by piece. Only thing I would do different is start with my networking gear. For a long time I used average home stuff plugging into a generic switch and it would cause many issues since I would basically overload things (average home routers aren't made for a ton of devices and pushing a bunch of data). When I first switched to a little home built pfsense box, it was like night and day. I eventually switched to a ubiquiti setup since I heard good things about them and I liked the idea of the centralized management but can still ssh into devices to do things if needed.

    Well, this may soon have to become the norm. I might have to run OpenWRT on a secondary router and set up Adguard and other packages helping block unwanted elements soon. This problem has become so widespread now. At one point, it was sporadic. But, right now, everyone's got so used to it, that they think it's normal for devices around them snooping on their conversation, or maybe possibly, even read their brain waves.

    @xpress7 said: But we need serum. We need new forumlas.

    60ML Chivas + 90ML RedBull + 100ML Water works great...

    I had predicted your formula earlier. But, it was coffee instead of water.

    What blasphemous, no one mixes whisky with coffee, well rum might go with it though.

    Once you are drunk, every cocktail is fair.

    That's a hard thing to say(at least for me), been drinking since last 15 years but the i can only count like 4 times i was blown out completely, rest of the time i behave more like a connaisseur tasting this and that but never getting fully drunk on something.

    I was just kidding. I haven't yet gotten drunk enough ever to feel high or nauseous.

    Yup, an overpriced unbrickable (NOR backup) OpenWrt One, though $10 does go into the developer pool on every purchase.
