Well, yeah.

They make more money from OF than from Spotify… and they are not doing porn.

Yes and…

Lily Allen and Kate Nash are on OnlyFans and make more money there…

Use brioche, it holds up better in the custard…

Real maple syrup. Accept no substitutes.

A dash of nutmeg.

Bandcamp.

FWIW songs on iTunes are drm free.

Also if the band has a website.

That headline gave me cancer. Ffs

Kde. I’d love to be able to give some erudite examples of why.

Alas, the default is clean and works for me. It stays out of the way.

We use it at work, or rather I use it to text people at work I like.

Working with info sec people helps. But I explained it and had them read about it and we all got on board.

All you really can do is explain that text (sms) isn’t secure and that Signal is. And let people know you want to use it. But yes I wouldn’t try and force it that generally just annoys people.

You can lead a horse to water, you cannot make it drink.

With my people from we use Signal.

Friends and family stick to text as it too hard to make everyone else change.

Because their friends use text… why change…

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Right?

I’ll be so happy to see them in production, in actual cars and trucks

But holy moly how much power is going across that charger to do that? The heat pump would (I imagine) be going full tilt to keep up

Oi

The single best thing you can do security wise, is to NOT have any personal data on a web facing server.

Separate the data

Rereading it does look like you are doing the things right; so just audit what is on the public side. - your calendar and tasks- cool

Your photo and docs, do those need to be on there?

they are not accessible on the WAN

If they are on a server that is publicly accessible, please move them to a different location

Otherwise you sound like your doing well

Eh?

You can’t build an unpickable back door into a computer system.

You can’t break encryption for only the good guys.

The path to hell is paved with good intentions.

Encryption only works when there is one decryption key. If there are two different keys then it isn’t encrypted bad actors will find a way in

5 days to boot. Damn. The dedication to get it to work is amazing

I hope he doesn’t have to patch it….

Assuming you live in the USA.

Short answer:: No.

Long answer:: yes but you’re basically living as a criminal, rather— you’d have no bank accounts; no credit cards; and you’d live on cash alone paying no taxes as you’d have to work under the table ( no one messes with the IRS). — or— leave the USA and do the above…

So if you want any kind of “modern life “ put a freeze on all your credit accounts and check them annually

Funny story, before they did the 2007 redesigns, they asked users what they wanted to be added; 95% said features that were already in Office.

The Ribbon was designed to make features more findable.

Alas.

I don’t think so. As providers assign a number to each subscriber, like even an Apple Watch technically has its own number.

So the issue is the “way for anyone to demand my number “

Oh. Perhaps a hotspot; and tether to it. And use WiFi wherever you can otherwise? “They” could demand your number but it couldn’t ring you.

Western digital external. My book 20tb or whatever size works for you. I blew through a 12 and 16 filled with photos and videos…

USB 3 and portable; I use exfat as my friend keeps a copy at his house.

And I just rotate through 3. One at home one at work and one with my friend.

FreeFileSync to keep everything updated

No. Not really

For long term storage LTO is the answer.

If cost/ lifetime storage are the only factors

I prefer drives; it is a cost I’m willing to pay as speed is more important, at home —At work we have both because 3-2-1

However I have been looking at tape for home use for some long term storage

Looks like it has a reasonable base. But they are targeting an alpha for early 26?

Oof.

Hey it looks like there is some thought behind this; starting a 501c3 and going from there.

Deep sigh…. Good luck Mr Gorkski

¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Yeah. It is kinda hard.

Backups. First and foremost.

Now once that is sorted, what if your DB gets corrupted. You test your backups

Learn how to verify and restore

It is a hassle. That’s why there is a constant back and forth between on prem and cloud in the enterprise
