I used proxmox and have played a little with nix and guix, but simplest is just use debian, put /home on a separate logical partition from the system partition so you can reinstall the system without clobbering user files, and as people keep saying, backup early and often.
If you look at the petapixel article, they complain about the speed (10mb/sec not 100) and have serious doubts about the reliability. Using this for backup or for security cameras sounds like a bad idea. It could still be good for some things like carrying your movie library on your phone, while still having a stable copy at home.
I've worked in security for decades and nobody has ever asked me about certifications. I know a guy with CISSP and he said it has been useful sometimes, but basically I wouldn't worry too much. Getting more involved with the security stuff where you work will give real experience which is likely more valuable.
This seems to be different and is geared towards directly looking after other humans. Hactivism as I'm used to the term, can often be technocratic.
scrutinize the protocol beforehand.
Sorry but that buys into the data miners' self serving myths. It implies the protocol is ok unless some failure makes it leak more information than was intended. In fact it's invasive even if it works exactly as hoped. "Tracking" is a misnomer too. It's hostile surveillance even if it's at population level. (Any nonconsensual surveillance that produces info to be used by people you don't like is hostile by definition. And it's near guaranteed that some of the buyers-advertisers, political campaigns and funders, govt agencies, whatever-will be people you don't like). So shut it down.
Yes, since the 1960s.
Simplest is use /etc/hosts to set up names, if there are just a few.
It was a reference to the ancient ELIZA chatbot. Kids these days :)
Yes, remove the thumbnail and expand the text into that space. Sorry for the confusion.
The options I see there are card, small card, and list. All of these show the thumbnail. This is in 0.0.65 currently on f-droid. Is that not expected?
I wasn't able to find one by poking around but may have missed it. Tx.
It's nice as a dimmable bedside night light. I also used the Anduril flickery candle mode at a birthday event recently.
No a lot less, twilio is $1/mo, see also VoIP.ms and vitelity.net
This was basically Blondies Pizza back in the day. Also the nitter thread is from 2019.
The google launcher used to have that unremovable google search bar smack at the top of the screen, at least on my old Android 7 phone. Google got lots of search ad revenue from having that thing on a billion screens. I'm pleased but a bit surprised and puzzled that it is gone from my new Android 13 phone. I don't know if Pixel phones have it these days.
I'd say run a local imap server rather than dealing with the weirdness of storage shares across multiple OS's.
If we told just anyone, it wouldn't be private!!!!
Srsly any phone app is inherently insecure because the phone itself is insecure. And there's lots of metadata leakage, like the phone broadcasting its location. There is no "go to app". It all depends on what you are trying to do and who you are trying to communicate with.
The OEM ones were something like $8 for a 3-pack many years back. Seemed high but they last a while.
There are tons of them on ebay. There are a few different types, depending on your thinkpad model. I suspect the T480 uses the square post style like older T series thinkpads, but I don't know. Basically, look carefully at the pics to make sure you get the right kind.
If you want OEM ones, try lenovo.com, but they will cost more.
There is a thread in another community regarding some controversies happening in women's chess. I posted to that thread, recommending a book written by WGM Jennifer Shahade who is a multi-time US women's chess champion. I also linked to a review of the book, the url of which contained the book title.
The Open Library page about the book is here: https://openlibrary.org/works/OL5849601W
it seems that the title, as chosen by the female author with considerable self-awareness, contains a word that is sometimes used as a sexist slur. You can see the title by clicking the link above. Unfortunately some kind of bot censored the title from both the post, and the review link (to chessbase.com) that I had posted. I was able to fool the bot by changing a few characters, but the bot's very existence is imho in poor taste.
We are adults here, we shouldn't have robots filtering our language. If we act sexist or abusive then humans should intervene, but not bots. Otherwise we are in an annoying semi-dystopia. The particular post I made, as far as I can tell, is completely legitimate.
Despite lemmy.world's current travails, its flashlight community is fairly active, while the lemmy.ml one has been dead for 2 years it looks like.
Down with the algorithm telling us what to read. I just want to see most recent first. Thanks.
https://lemmy.ml/c/flashlight@lemmy.world got that error a few minutes ago when lemmy.world was having some db probs, but works now. I had thought federated posts were supposed to be copied to the local server, and anyway a raw 502 is a confusing diagnostic. This is basically a bug report.
The two top entries on lemmy.world sorted by hot as of a few minutes ago were a porn link on a porn community (nothing against porn per se, but I don't want to see it on the front page) and a bot post to some kind of bot link community. I see the "block user" button but I don't particularly care to see anything from those communities, so blocking the individual poster doesn't help much. I could actually visit the community in order to block it, but that sort of defeats the purpose of blocking. And I know of "Hide NSFW" but I'm not particularly anti-NSFW, I just don't want to see it unintentionally.
So it would be useful to have "block community" as an option along with "block user" in the little buttons underneath the post.
As a broader policy matter, I'd be cool with blocking NSFW from the front page altogether (it would still be available within communities of course). But I understand such a decision would want discussion for and against.
I don't use the Play store (don't want a Google account) and prefer to stay away Github because Microsoft. Thanks.
Added: Thanks for the links! Unfortunately it looks like the app requires Android 8.0+ and my phone is still on Android 7. Is that inherent to Jetpack or some other part of the app technology? It would be good to not have to keep churning to the latest shiny.
