I just restored from some 20 year old dvds and they had visible yellowing at the edges and lost data at the end. A few videos were unrecouverable, not many.

Happy with them too. Standards compliant (use a real mail client). Secondary accounts are ultra cheap if you add family and such.

In the 90s and early 2000s, we had lots of “smog days” in southern Ontario. Of course those were mostly from coal plants in Ontario and Michigan, not forest fires. I wonder if its related.

Its just propaganda. The most effective of which seems to be false explanations and distraction conspiracies. Anything but allow people to see whats going on and who’s doing it.

There was something special about col. Carter reverse engineering some alien tech using just an oscilloscope and pentium computer with a CRT monitor in a bunker that I think might not be possible to recreate in trek. I’d love to see them try.

You have the right attitude and I hope you are able to successfully shop around. Some institutions are paying below living wages to overworked and precariously employed instructors. Of course they phone it in. Those places are not worth your money and just trying to cash in on the “diploma” ==“job ticket” mentality.

Find a place that actually gives a shit about education and you should find professors interested in actual education that will see your attitude as refreshing.

Maybe we stop calling them “moderates”?

I can’t tell if you are self deluded or really are an interesting case. I do question using a screensaver to help memorise a password rather than a password manager.

This is exactly why the original question is so loaded to be disengenuois.

Answering yes sounds foolish, while a complex answer sounds like waffling or even excusing, and will be generally ignored. Only the person who answers clearly with a “no” sounds reasonable.

You are expecting someone to commit suicide for their values. Thats what life in prison under unjust prosecution is. He would expect to die there, alone.

Yeah, thats the most moral stance he could have taken, but he also didn’t ask us to put our trust in him. He’s not a politician. Those people DO ask us to put our trust in their character and ethics and were demonstrably shown to be lacking when illegal spying was clearly present.

All he asked for was for people to look at the evidence he presented and demand rule of law. He could be a puppy killer, and it wouldn’t matter. He didn’t ask to be elected to anything or put in charge of anything, and he acted like a self-serving human being in the end.

If America lives up to the claim of being just, it didn’t seem to look like it in this case. The instant and well funded propaganda campaign against him was not an indication it would be a case of blind justice.

What a loaded question. Hero is such a poorly defined yet super high bar. Firefighters who die rescuing children don’t even typically want to be called a hero. This just sets up people to say no and muddy the water.

Did he stand up for democracy and transparency and rule of law? Yes. Did he suffer for his actions from powerful people more concerns for the political harm caused by the exposure of illegal actions? Yes.

Did he do everything right? No, he’s human, and wasnt asking to be lionized or elected anything. He wanted people to look at the materials and demand change from governments. He didn’t get what he wanted, and ended up stuck in Russia, where people can dismiss him as just a traitor, so no, he didn’t do everything right. He could have also thrown himself on the mercy of the American justice system, no matter how doomed that would be. But he’s human, so I don’t expect suicide.

I can’t recall the name, but there was at least one project that had a kind of static web proxy of shared immich albums, so you can expose that to the internet for sharing and keep Immich its self internal network only.

You are correct. That was the death kneel of a really cool e2e encrypted chat app that came before Signal/Text secure. I can’t recall the name atm. You are relying on them wanting to avoid the reputational damage of getting caught (it would be trivial for a security researcher to compare two client apps and see the different JavaScript. Beyond that, yeah, they can serve you a compromised site one time and extract your keys.

Their first “stable” release was 6 months ago and they are currently working on the next major version #, so yeah, focus on recent posts only or the info will be out of date.

If you got a $20 10g Ethernet, chances are you didn’t get one that is well supported on Freebsd. They currently lag behind Linux on the drivers for those. If you had a fully supported card, network throughput often beats Linux (with the caviat that it is going to depend on what you are doing with the firewall and QOS, obviously).

Precisely. I started running into this recently, and while I know I could work around it, I choose the lazy option and just load Lemmy instead.

If you are willing to have all your accounts linkable by the signup email, you dont need a temp or relay email service at all. Just sign up for a single random email address somewhere that lets you do it anonymously.

I am happy with addy.io and havnt had any issues. You could maintain a few providers - throw in ddg and mozillas services - so you can try from lots of domains I guess.

75kbit OGG Vorbis is like maybe 128kb mp3, while 160kb Vorbis is indistinguishable from CD quality for most people on most equipment.

This absolutely. Anyone who actually wants open registration will be configuring their own SSO or whatever backend. The default should be safe for testing and/or hobbyists.
