  • A big thing the other comments are missing is that just running the iptables rule only works for the current boot. You need something to rerun it every restart

    ufw is a front end to make it easier to use them

    If you want/need more control, you should look into /etc/iptables/rules.d config files

    Edit: or depending on what your distro already has, the firewalld comment makes a lot of sense. E.g. that’s Fedora’s default front end

  • The funny part, to me, is that the command he ran was so dangerous that Pop_OS required you to type out the entire phrase

    “Yes, do as I say!”

    With correct punctuation, or it won’t continue

    If it was just an “Okay” box or a “Y” to continue, I don’t think he’d have gotten as much flak for that one

  • With an HDD, your operating system can (mostly) directly access bits on the magnetic disks, so you can wipe them by just writing 0 to it over and over (historically, there was a paper saying 7 times would make any bits unrecoverable - this changed as density got higher)

    With SSDs, your operating system has very little control over what bits a write is touching, a lot more was moved into the firmware on the flash memory itself

    So SSDs need a special command “Secure Erase” to wipe them

  • Do you know what the link to Uyghur is?

    The Han Chinese people I know from Shaanxi still seem to eat congee regularly

    Is there something lost in translation that the Uyghur style congee is different than the Han style or something?

  • A “fun” one I ran into was all our tests passing on my desk, but failing in the test farm

    After a month, we realized that having an HDMI cable plugged into the unit was corrupting the SD card due to a memory overwrite in the graphics stack

  • For your analogy, you can’t put more water in a sponge that is completely saturated

    Trying to compress a compressed file doesn’t really work - at least not for a meaningful gain in storage size with zip, bzip, 7zip, gzip, xz, lzma…

  • I never made that claim, my man

    I just wanted some more information about how the on-device database corruption led to restoring pictures

    Those are generally opposites

    On spinning disks, it’s significantly easier to restore data after a delete, but it’s not normally as easy on flash storage like they’re using

  • E.g. iCloud says it’s using 13.4 GiB to store photos, Settings -> General -> iPhone Storage says I can save 15.5 GiB because they’re backed up on iCloud, and if I use idevicebackup2 to pull everything off the phone, there are 21.7 gigs of photos

    I’m wondering if these discrepancies are related to the photo app not actually deleting pictures from the filesystem
