You think windows updates are bad?

Jump

  • On the up-side, at least you have a chance of fixing it... If that happened on a Windows box, you'd be reaching for the gun / installation media by now

    • Google fixes Android zero-days exploited in attacks, 60 other flaws

    Jump

  • We were aware of these vulnerabilities and exploitation risk prior to these reports and promptly developed fixes for Android.

    So... they're aware of the vulns, but won't fix until reported? 🤔

    • GitHub - outerbase/studio: A lightweight Database GUI in your browser. It supports connecting to Postgres, MySQL, and SQLite.

    Jump

  • we are very excited about being part of the Claudflair team

    Guess they're so excited (and thrilled) that they forgot how to spell

  • Yeah, my reading speed has decreased a lot as I'm continually trying to assess if what I'm reading is true or not

    Like, maybe the AI was the true story and the April fools story was the April fools? 🤯

    • Oh god, no UAC?

    Jump

  • You can require user login to HA and then disable visibility to dashboards for that (non-admin) user, etc... wouldn't that work?

    • Do you dislike your dependency on Android? To the rescue comes Mobile Linux "PostmarketOS" - Funded via Donations (link to 2025 Priorities -> Focus on Reliabilty, Audi, Camera, etc)

    Jump

  • Are you saying I could get Linux running on my Fairphone 3+?

    Mind you, yeah, 3G switch off would then make life difficult...

  • Enterprises just lease desktops / laptops and replace them with the latest version of Windows... my team used to be after reasons to get the latest OS / laptop, now IT have to prise them out of their hands

    • World Backup Day

    Jump

  • Yep, hence my comment...

    You should see the fear on people's faces when I suggest they restore a backup - esp. on Production.

    My advice (to combat their fear) is to take an offline backup that has some kind of checksum and then immediately restore it.

    That gets them past the initial fear and then we progress onto other backup strategies... if needed.

    • World Backup Day

    Jump

  • Backups... fine

    When's the World "test you can restore" day?

    • Selfhosting Sunday - What's up?

    Jump

  • Ok, didn't think about "unlimited" actually being slower - thanks for the insight.

    I'm running a pfSense f/w at the edge, so split horizon DNS and haproxy are already sorted... I'll check out wireguard - should be straight forward

    Thanks

    Jump

  • I'm considering going this route - just to hide my (static) home IP.

    What's the rough sizing I'd need for a VPS? I'm guessing the smallest possible, but with the best / unlimited data usage?

    • Blasting Past WebP - An analysis of the NSO BLASTPASS iMessage exploit

    Jump

  • 🤯 I can generally follow the gist of that, but, wow, how the hell do these people work this stuff out

    • Windows 11 is closing a loophole that let you skip making a Microsoft account

    Jump

  • Ok, so setup a DC (in a VM on your linux laptop), install Win11 joined to that domain, create a local user, then leave the domain & destroy the VM...?

    Or install Linux 👍🏻

    • Apple barred from Google antitrust trial, putting $20 billion search deal on the line

    Jump

  • Dunno how long you've been online, but you should've seen searching before Google came along... it's still better now.

    But, there was not much tracking back then...

    • Permanently Deleted

    Jump

  • Depends... if you use an offline password manager ( like keepass), you can ask it to autotype your credentials into anything... if that's what you ask it to do (ie it's not a fault)

    Main point though: don't reuse the same credentials across different sites.

    They'll get 1 site, but not all the rest of them...

    • Vivaldi, now with added VPN

    Jump

  • Was that the one with the vertical task bar that couldn't be changed??

    Or is it better now...?

    1. Agreed
    2. Well, if it's the free tier option, then I guess not a lot...?

    I'm all for revenue income to support these tools - as long as I'm not the product - I just won't be using this option.

    • Vivaldi, now with added VPN

    Jump

  • Yeah, just read a bit more, where it's implied that Vivaldi recommend you share your Vivaldi account recovery with Proton, which was the problem recently:

    https://help.vivaldi.com/desktop/privacy/proton-vpn-for-vivaldi/

    Allow Vivaldi to share your account’s recovery email address with Proton (only shown during first use).

    https://www.theregister.com/2025/03/27/vivaldi_proton_vpn/

    Proton VPN is operated by the same company behind the encrypted email service, Proton Mail. The business found itself in hot water in 2024 after complying with a legal request to hand over the recovery email address for a Proton Mail account.

    Hmm... this doesn't sound good to me.

    • Qobuz reveals how much it really pays per stream, and I want to see more of this transparency to help us spend money more ethically

  • Everything I get usually has it's metadata updated / overwritten by Musicbrainz anyway

    But, yeah, it's slow going if you're in a niche...

    I've created / updated a few albums in there and it takes a few minutes to get it all done, but there's some satisfaction in giving back
