Quote from: Oldiesmann on Feb 08, 2025, 11:39 PMI'm getting tired of AI being the new buzzword. New phones/laptops come out and the focus is all on AI. What about those of us who don't want AI everything? Google has had their assistant thing for years and I rarely use it.
I will NEVER use it! Google is one of the biggest companies against privacy and for data mining and selling your data. I'm just about set to move away from gmail completely! :)

As I've said ever since AI was announced...It's nothing but trouble!!! A hacker's playground and no way to stop it!!!

I think Plesk comes with CSF built in as I haven't really had to open any ports for it.

On a related note, I moved the domain that I was using for DirectAdmin over to Plesk earlier. My DA license is still good through February 15th but I didn't see a point in racking up more charges for a server that I'm not really using for anything. I now have at least three SMF 3.0 test boards on my server - one running on MariaDB, one running on Postgres and the one synced with the reactions branch of my fork.

Internet Discussion / Sectock Privacy Phone Cases
Last post by Skhilled - Jan 23, 2025, 09:12 PM
I've always wanted a case to block cameras "AND" the microphone when needed. I can't wait until these are released!

My biggest problem is that cell cases don't provide security for the microphone!

Here are some options to help block the microphone port:

After my last post I started to remember having numerous port issues. You got to make sure all ports are open for anything that you intend to use. I like using CSF firewall and have been using it for a number of years. :)
