@confusedalex Pro mode: label each physical device with the #UUID of your #Orgmode heading for it.

Honestly: don't use #UUIDs for that. Please do use something human-readable like slugs: https://github.com/novoid/dot-emacs/blob/master/config.org#my-id-get-or-generate 😉

Ensuring high entropy in #UUIDs is crucial for strong #CyberSecurity and avoiding predictable patterns. By validating the randomness and uniqueness of UUIDs, we protect data integrity in distributed systems. Secure, high-entropy identifiers help prevent vulnerabilities that could expose sensitive information. If you’re interested in securing UUID generation in #Kotlin, check out my approach here: https://github.com/CamilYed/currency-exchange-api/blob/main/entropy-validation.md. How do you approach UUID security in your projects?

typically I'm NOT a fan of videos instead of written text

…or even worse, videos after written text that just summarize that

but this one is pretty nice and adds some value:

Es scheint so, als könnten #Hisense #SmartTV-Geräte #Windows-PCs unbeabsichtigt mit einer riesigen Menge an #UUIDs lahmlegen. https://winfuture.de/news,142432.html?utm_source=Mastodon&utm_medium=ManualStatus&utm_campaign=SocialMedia
Mit UUID: Smart-TV mit unabsichtlicher "DoS-Attacke" auf Windows-PC

TV-Geräte von Hisense scheinen über eine etwas unglücklich implementierte Funktion Probleme auf Windows-Rechnern verursachen zu können. Dabei werden die Computer letztlich mit einer Flut an UUIDs in die Knie gezwungen.
