Actually that did happen at the same time now that you mention it. I managed to catch it quick though. It did happen shortly after midnight. Luckily I’m a night owl and was awake.

I am currently using the iOS password manager. I have my qualms with it but it’s been mostly pretty solid. I was an android user for years and used a fair share of password managers, I like the iOS one the best but I know some of the new managers are much better. I don’t know any other iOS compatible password managers. I’m open to suggestions.

Also every account that uses 2FA has either an Authenticator code or email to an authentication secured email address.

I viewed the recent activity in my account. I did not receive any notifications of failed logins in the last 8 weeks its been going on. I assume because I use 2FA and the password is just wrong it doesn't bother cause of the frequency it happens.

 

I received a notification last night that someone changed my shipping address on Macys.com and when I visited the website, there was an open order for a PS5 with delivery to a NJ address.

After logging into Macy's I got 43 emails at once to seven different services like "Excalidraw" and "Sportograf" trying to login using a magic link.

At this point was was pretty nervous so I checked my main email security. Sure enough, there have been repeated login attempts under my account going on every few minutes for weeks.

I also saw there was an attempted login to my cellphone or home internet company.

I use 2FA, authenticators, etc. Basically what else should I be doing? Is there any way to be more preventative? I really don't wanna chuck this email but it is possible that may be the safest recourse. I do use this email for almost 300 different accounts to various things though.

I never liked Adams. He always seemed like he was up to something.

I’m convinced we live in a timeline where the Illuminati is run by clowns and they are giving us the most absurd storylines for season 2024 of Earth AD.

I’ve been using Mlem since week 2 and I have no idea if I’m missing anything or not. I’ve never visited any instance on anything but Mlem.

I have Sonos and it is meh. They just issued an apology in the app for how bad their app got, so I can’t really recommend it.

I keep seeing good reviews about Audio Pro. I don’t know too much about them, but they seem to have the same idea of multi-room audio.

Self hosting is the big caveat. There’s a lot of great software options, but the hardware can get to be a bit limiting if you don’t wanna play with common protocols like AirPlay or Chromecast.

Additionally, you could do a Denon or Marantz receiver or Soundbar with multi zone and cover at least 2 spaces wired and add wireless zones via their Heos protocol.

There’s also HomePod, Alexa, or even Bluetooth speakers like the UE Boom or JBL series that you can daisy chain Bluetooth speakers together. No real soundbar solution with this option. Ironically JBL Soundbars don’t communicate with their Bluetoo speakers.

Audio Engine makes some fine speakers that support WiFi or Bluetooth and all they need is power.

Kef has the incredible but pricey LS series of bookshelf and tower speakers. They are independently powered and support all kinds of wireless protocols including AirPlay.

There are a ton of audio solutions nowadays but a lot of them will still require either a wire somewhere or playing with standardized protocols.

I too wish there were a more “self hosted” options. It seems like sooner or later some more viable options will come to light though.

Ahhh, it’s good to be da king.

 

I would love to see a visual representation of where US tax dollars are going based on address. Especially if it has pretty charts.

I remember when Puritanical Euphoric Misanthropia came out. Hybrid Stigmata changed me forever. That was the extreme metal song that “clicked” for me finally and I quickly began my spiral into the metal darkness.

 

I used up play a ton of Doom mods years ago and a lot of the TCs were fun but lacked substance beyond the surface. Some of the new ones are cool but overly complex. (The Sonic cart game has an hour long tutorial before you start). I was a big fan of Simon’s Destiny, the Castlevania mod for Doom.

Basically I’m looking to see suggestions for free games or total conversions that are worth playing. Before I go spending money onSteam releases, I wanna check out what I might have missed the last few years.

 

A well timed release for Godzilla X Kong day! Check these guys out, both bands are pretty solid sludge!

When I was kid, I could sit in front of TV for hours and sink a day or two away into a game and have no problem having to start the game over from the beginning. Time meant nothing to me and I wasted it like it was a near infinite resource.

Now I am a parent and ain't got time for some of the nonsense that's in games nowadays. I'm lucky if I have even an hour to play each night.

A good example: Forza Horizon 5 allows you to switch cars mid game without traveling back to a house. That to me is a huge time saver compared to the recent NFS games.

Contrarily, Forza Motorsport (2023) makes you do qualifications every round. While realistic, a big time sink.

That said, what are some of your favorite games that have respect for your limited time?
