  • Use Borg Backup. It has built-in deduplication — it works with chunks not files and will recognize identical chunks and avoid storing them multiple times. It will deduplicate your files and will find duplicated chunks even in files you didn't know had duplicates. You can continue to keep your files duplicated or clean them out, it doesn't matter, the borg backups will be optimized either way.

  • I've yet to understand how the hell they get away with "I don't know how it works". Either figure out how it works or stop using it, shithead. It's software not magic beans.

    There's lots of complicated fields out there, none of them get a pass for "I don't know how my drugs work" or "I don't know how my rockets work". That's absolutely ridiculous.

  • I'm just gonna add this for completion, DroidCamX can be installed on a smartphone and its cameras will act as an IP camera. DroidCamX also has a Linux package that will make the connected phone show up as a V4L2 device. You can connect the phone over USB or over LAN in two ways (PC connects to phone or phone connects to PC).

    Now obviously a phone isn't ideal for running 24/7 but since this is about privacy I thought it's worth mentioning.

  • I think they count every download of every package, every version, every time. It's not the number of unique users or even packages.

    If you install 3 apps you might need to download 3 versions of graphics driver, 3 versions of desktop environment libraries and so on, It won't count as one user installing 3 apps, it will show up as 10 -20 downloads. And that's just the initial install, every time you update them it counts another 10-20.

  • On Google I get the link to the download page as 3rd result, and on DuckDuckGo is the first result.

    There might also be some confusion related to the fact openjdk.org only called its builds "openjdk" for version 8 and for versions 11+. Versions 7, 9 and 10 were just called "JDK" so technically there's no such thing as "openjdk 10".

  • 60M total but divided among 40 counties makes 1.5M variations per county and the capital city (which is its own county, like Berlin) went over that.

    I looked it up and Bucharest actually has only a 1.7M population so... I think it's understandable that nobody expected an almost 1:1 person-to-car ratio. Exactly why and how they reached that crazy ratio I have no idea. 😆

    Told you it's a crazy rabbit hole.

  • polito.it may not be the best example because its A records point at private IPs (192.168.x.x). Such records are often filtered by ISP DNS servers because they are used in certain kinds of attacks.

    Double check your results using DNSChecker.

    Edit: also, using just dig will not resolve all possible records related to a domain. I use a script that asks dig explicitly for a variety of record types:

     
            #!/bin/bash
        echo "SOA NS A AAAA MX CNAME TXT SRV DNSKEY"|\
        xargs -n1 dig +noall +answer +nocrypto "$@"|\
        sort -u -k4
    
      
  • What do the Unbound logs say?

    What upstream servers are you using?

    not depend on Google/Adblock/Whatever upstream DNS server

    I mean, you're gonna have to get your DNS information somewhere. You can choose and pick your upstream but you still need one. You can cache the DNS info but you will still need to refresh it eventually. You can use a DoT or DoH upstream server so your ISP cannot spy on your DNS traffic but, again, you still need an upstream.

  • Yeah this is pretty much non-news at this point. The last unencumbered versions of JDK and JRE from Oracle went out in 2019, that's 5 years ago, and they're still allowing a grace period of another 6 months.

    I mean don't get me wrong, Oracle sucks and the way they go about licensing is shit, but at this point come on. If a company hasn't bothered to get rid of Oracle's version of Java for the last 6 years maybe they want to get shafted? I don't kink-shame.

  • Speaking of car plates, the Wikipedia pages for "Vehicle license plates of [insert country here]" are a rabbit hole.

    I was just reading the page for Romania the other day, speaking of uniqueness, and they had this issue apparently where the combinations overall were enough for the whole country but not enough for their capital city, so they had to hack an extra digit into the plates for the capital.
