This and Clicks Communicator seem eerily similar.

Yeah, but then you are always exposing your public IP.

Exposing it to what exactly? The internet? Yes that's how it works

If somebody learns that such-and-such DynDNS URL is mine, they can always do a DNS lookup to find my current IP address. They can:

- find my approximate physical location

- regularly scan ports on my IP and wait for me to accidentally expose a service I didn't mean to

- track me in any access logs they have access to

They can, and do, do this with or without DynDNS.

Do you mean by getting the information from Cloudflare, or some other way? With DynDNS though, finding out my IP is trivial and does not require any special powers or skills, it is just a DNS lookup.

PS. Just re-watched your matrix LED pendant video. It is so well done, both the project, and the accompanying video!

They're scanning all IPs all the time. If your home router has a public IP and a firewall log, check it

But with Cloudflare tunnel (and similar tools), there are no open ports on the origin server.

This requires no port forwarding, so someone brute force scanning your IP won't find this and your open port. they also might have a harder time figuring out what service has been exposed since the port number itself will be unknown.

Perhaps this is not their entire defense strategy, just the first layer?

I don't have and don't want to have an agent

Very cool, I like the conceptual simplicity of it. Even I can understand it, at least at a surface level :-)

Is there a safe way to make backups of the index.lmdb and data0 files without stopping the server?

Not without snapshot currently. I guess I could collect all writes in the (optional) WAL file while a backup is running, then the files would be consistent.

It's a good time to reduce the reliance on technology.

Throw out the IoT and "smart" stuff from your home. Remove apps from your phone and leave the absolute basics. Go through the password manager and close accounts for sites you are no longer using. Start migrating off Google. Print out your most precious photos on paper. And so on :-)

> 8. I understand that LGE will retain the collected Voice Information for 6 months to fulfil the purposes for which we collected it, and after this period, it will be deleted or anonymized, depending on the case.

Somehow feels like it might be used for more than just wake word detection.

It's normal for home assistants to save what you said after the wake word.

If you are wealthy, it does not matter if they are expensive. If they have any impact, why not?

Sure, why not, it’s just not selling the idea that money buys happiness…

I mean if I had someone tailoring workouts to me, keeping me motivated to stick with a training regimen, and free time enough to get super fit and look great naked, I'd sure be happier.

You are looking at it from the wrong perspective, you are trying to fit "healthy" into your current environment. I think it's the wrong approach.

For example: societies that live the longest and are generally the healthiest do not have gym equipment or trainers, exercise is a core part of their every day life.

The mistake you are making [I think] is looking at these things as impossible goals because of lack of more money so it is easy not to try and risk failure.

> 125 miles. That’s less than two hours of driving.

Assuming you have a straight road in that direction with a speed limit that allows an average speed of more than 100km/h.
