VPS encryption
  • LUKS, or anything that relies on the server encrypting, is highly vulnerable (see schizo@forum.uncomfortable.business's response).

    Your best bet would be encrypting client side before it arrives on the server using a solution like rclone, restic, borg, etc.

    Lucy was my first dog. I got her in 1995, the week I moved out of my parents' house. She died in 2010 at the ripe old age of 14. This is my favorite picture of her. I thought it was lost forever.
  • Such a cute photo. I've been trying to take more photos of my pupper. He's 13 now, and anytime I'm not sure if I'll ever be ready to lose him.

    Company creates "solution" to address school "vaping incidents".
  • That's what I thought at first, but the person who wrote the article is named Simon, and based on the context given in the article I'm assuming that was a test unit he had on his desk, but the planned implementation is in bathrooms.

    Company creates "solution" to address school "vaping incidents".
  • Considering it only detects if someone in the bathroom is vaping and not who, disciplinary action just isn't really possible with your typical school restroom.

  • My car is a 2015 and didn't come with a cruise control lol :(.

    To be fair, I can drive at and maintain a consistent speed without it, though I didn't have to often thanks to stop and go traffic 🎉.

    Any non-tech-background self-hosters?
  • Programming and self hosting the results when I was ~14 is what led me to a tech background. No university, but I've been working professionally in both IT and software for over a decade and self hosting even longer.

    Jenna Ortega Reveals She Deleted Twitter After Receiving Explicit AI Images of Herself as a Teen: “It’s Disgusting”
  • I'm guessing the photos she's referencing weren't edited back when she was still a teen, and that someone recently took the older photos and ran them through AI.

    Quordle 941 - August 22, 2024
  • I had it but typo'd top right and apparently didn't notice, as I thought it was invalid, so I ruled the answer out and put the wrong one.

    What was "the incident" at your work place?
  • Coworker in sales got mad at one of the shipping guys thinking his packing of the pallet was insufficient. They get into a verbal spat until the sales guy walks to his car and pulls his gun on the shipping guy, the shipping guy, who also happened to be a retired marine and allowed by the owner to open carry in the office. Sales guy was lucky the only thing he lost that day was his job.

    No shots were fired since the sales guy was stupid but not that stupid. We kind of had a collective "that's not terribly surprising" moment later when the cop was over for the police report and brought up sales guy's past mugshots like "was this the guy".

    Starbucks' new CEO will supercommute 1,000 miles from California to Seattle
  • To be fair, the offer letter mentions he is working from a remote office (and is able to hire an assistant of his choosing). I'm hoping this whole supercommute nonsense isn't daily and instead like.. monthly for some meeting or something.

    Who am I kidding though, a $10M signing bonus? He gets up to $250K per year of personal use out of the jet? They'll even reimburse him $50K of legal and advisory fees he incurs having the offer reviewed by his own lawyers. That's where I stopped reading.

    Is GrapheneOS not actually FOSS?
  • The article that user links is referring to GrapheneOS (and other OSS software) as not being "free software" - and they (GNU) delves into it more here.

    Basically, GNU is saying software shouldn't claim to be free and open source if they contain non free binaries / other non-free blobs.

    The nuances between FOSS and OSS can be confusing. GrapheneOS is not claiming to be FOSS.

    Patreon: adding Apple’s 30 percent tax is the price of staying in the App Store
  • What we can work on is awareness. If iOS users are aware, they can choose to simply go to the website directly and make the purchase, instead of using the app. They can still use the app for consumption.

    "Right-click Save As" download different file type than URL shows in Firefox
  • This behavior is because Firefox is using the MIME type of the file on the save as dialog.

    Regarding your issue importing them - does renaming the ones in the ZIP to m4a not work? If the issue is mixed mp3s and m4as, you could use something like ffmpeg probe to rename them.

    Costco to start scanning membership cards at the entrance of all its stores
  • Yes, but you're more likely to run into an irate person when you turn them away with a cart full of groceries then you are if you turn them away at the door. Plus it reduces the wasted time of employees who have to unload said cart.
