It should be noted that this affects their BackBlaze backup client that operates alongside their unlimited personal storage solution. I doubt these issues exist with B2 storage where you can store whatever you want.

I’ve never used their personal backup plan because it’s for backing up a single machine. I have servers all over so I just use them for their S3 compatible object storage which is still a decent deal.

You can access the RAS feed for the newsletter for free, but if you want to be able to read it in your RSS client without having to visit the site directly you have to become a member.

It’s sponsored by one Republican and one Democrat.

Back in what day? 25 years ago this is exactly what happened with the dotcom bubble and it was just as silly.

Buying profiling data from Google is not nearly as effective at tracking and controlling your online activity as integrating facial scans and government ID checks into every website or even directly into your operating system.

Frankly a brand new account pushing the “The government is already tracking you, there’s nothing you can do about it, don’t worry about all the new ways they can track you, just give in” narrative is a little suspicious.

It is in fact a government conspiracy to track you. Not necessarily to gather data on you, which can be purchased from brokers, but so that they can also control what you can access.

There’s no mechanism that the government currently has that can track you as effectively as these age verification laws can.

It’s a clumsy attempt to strongarm tech companies into setting up factories in the USA

Evidently not since Netgear has zero factories in the USA and plans to bring zero factories to the USA in the future.

It may also be an attempt to create an environment in which it’s easier to install US government backdoors on every home router.

It’s this one.

The problem with that is, how do we make glasses like these illegal without also making any type of filming in public illegal?

A good start would be for more states to adopt wiretapping laws with two-party consent models. Only 11 states have these on the books currently.

What a puerile take lol

They ship with zsh

Only if that country doesn’t have info sharing treaties with the US. So much of Europe isn’t any safer than in the US.

Reddit is headquartered in San Francisco

That is what I said

I am no fan of reddit but in this case Reddit appears to have championed this users anonymity going so far as to actively draw the ire of the administration.

• Reddit refused to comply with the initial administrative subpoena
• the Federal government came back with this grand jury subpoena and warned Reddit not to disclose the existence of the subpoena or they’d consider it interference in federal law enforcement
• Reddit complied with this new legally binding subpoena, but did not comply with the demand to keep it a secret. In the contrary, they immediately alerted the user of the subpoena which allowed him time to immediately lawyer up.

You’re not wrong that you’re not safe posting on Reddit, but if this case is any indication you’re not any less safe posting in Reddit than any other site, including Lemmy.

Signing it verifies that the software was made by company that it says it was. It’s a method to avoid installing fake or malicious software.

It is on its face a good thing, with the major caveat being who is in charge of who gets to sign what.

The person they’re replying to was talking specifically about their Plex server and how av1 causes problems with it. If their Plex server is the thing that is having trouble with AV1, then it’s encode.

“Click button media plays” would be the bare minimum a media server does. Being able to play media at all does not elevate it above of its position at the bottom of the media player stack.

Yeah you’re going to need HW acceleration to encode AV1 on your server “without issues”.

Theres a world of difference between something that’s technically possible and something that will just work without issues of any kind. Something being “good enough” implies the existence of caveats. Mainly being that’d be a shitty experience lol.

Lmao

jellyfin is the least functional of the trinity of media servers so that’s not the best recommendation here.
