  • It's google; their entire business is built on fucking you out of your personal data. Once they have it, they will never let go.

    Until a highly scrutinized third party audit proves otherwise; I doubt even GDPR removal requests are complied with internally. They might stop telling you they have the data, but thetly won't actually get rid of it.

  • I really don't like the idea of every device automatically having a publicly reachable IP.

    There's certainly situations where that would be nice; but I'm quite fond of most equipment and services being behind a router and it's firewall, requiring explicit configuration to be exposed to the open net.

    Nobody outside my home network ever needs access to my toaster... (btw, why tf is my toaster wifi enabled...?)

  • My ISP blocks the ports needed for mail hosting :/

    Pretty sure I'd have to go through them to get the rdns PTR records pointed at my domain too. PITA

  • Hisses The light! It burns!!!

    Listen to my flesh sizzle while my retinas recoil in agony

  • Can always go with RGB and pick colours on demand. I just like the color red. Blue light wakes/keeps me up.

    I have RGBW tape on the underside of my kitchen cabinets, inside some nice tracks to keep them out of direct line of sight. White during the day for counter top lighting; red at night for nightlighting that doesn't wake you up when you go for a late night snack. And random disco colours for parties, just because...

  • Red LED tape on the underside of my desk, dresser, and shelves. Keeps a nice dull red glow in my room, just enough to see around, but low enough that I can sleep through it. Smart plug for scheduling.

    There's a lava lamp on a smart plug that turns itself on ~1hr before I go to bed (so it's movin and groovin by the time I'm in there). It'll also turn off after 8hrs regardless of whether it was turned on manually/automatically. Saftey/longevity of the lamp.

    Finally a regular bedside lamp, with a dimmable smart bulb.

    The smart controls let me set schedules so the desired lights come on as I'm going to bed or with my morning alarm, and making sure that they're off when I leave for work. Plus I can turn them on/off or set brightness from my phone without getting up from bed.

  • Why would he expect any different; that 'prison' has never permitted any visitors, gifts, mail, nor has it ever released a live prisoner.

  • Actually it looks like Caddy is supposed to set those automatically (I'm used to Nginx which doesn't).

    You'll have to look at why the upstream isn't accepting them then. I'm not familiar with azuracast.

  • X-Forwarded-For

    And

    X-Real-IP

    The application you're proxying also has to listen to these headers. Some don't, some need to be told they're ok to use. (if you enable them, but don't have a proxy in front, users can spoof their ip using them)

  • Rebooting just seems like a very roundabout, slow and inefficient way to get back to that initial state you describe.

    It's exactly what the reboot process is designed to do; return you to that fully encrypted pre-boot state. There would be no purpose to implementing a second method that does the exact same thing.

  • Much of the data on your phone, including critical information that's required to run the operating system and make the device function, is fully encrypted when the device is off/rebooted.

    While in this locked down state, nothing can run. You don't receive notifications, applications can't run in the background, even just accessing the device yourself is slow as you have to wait for the whole system to decrypt and start up.

    When you unlock the device for the first time; much of that data is decrypted so that it can be used, and the keys required to unlock the rest of the data get stored in memory where they can be quickly accessed and used. This also makes the device more vulnerable to attacks.

    There's always a trade off between convenience and security. The more secure a system, the less convenient it is to use.

  • I'm guessing the black parts slide like wax? For 'grinding' without a board?

  • I make a ton of stupid spelling mistakes just because of typing on mobile 99% of the time. For some reason I CONSTANTLY miss the keys I'm looking for, or manage to press them in the wrong order somehow; swapping Ns with Ms, T with Y, R>T, B>N, inserting spaces too early, doubling up characters.

    If i nevsr look up and jus tkeep typing, I end of with a garbled mess just liek this sentence is.

    This can get much worse if I use the next word suggestions. I'll spot the suggestion I want, but continue to press the next letter; this changes what's being suggested, or just moves it to a different position (centered vs the two options to the side) but I still press where I first saw it which is now a totally different suggestion...

    Lots and lots and lots of proof-reading. And I STILL fuck it up.

  • NTD is the European version of DMCA essentially.

    It's not a good thing; but usenet providers like any other internet service are generally subject to one or the other depending on their location, so it's good to know which one covers the provider you use.

    With providers spread across the globe, mirroring each others data, and subject to different copyright notice/takedown laws; the whole system is quite robust against removals. While you can send notices to individual providers, It's extremely difficult to coordinate a global takedown effort and truly remove content from usenet as a whole.

    That's why multiple provider's in different regions can be beneficial. Some people will buy 'block' accounts (a fixed amount of data to be used as needed, vs a monthly cap) for a provider in a separate region to fallback on when the data has been taken down from their local provider.
