Winget is still playing catch-up in my experience. Microsoft’s own office365 winget package is broken constantly.

The fact that industrial and commercial use pays lower rates than people trying to live their lives and heat their home is such bullshit.

Seeing how much they’ve advanced over recent years I can’t imagine whatever that guy was working on would actually impress anyone today.

I just set up a rule on my firewall to disallow outgoing web traffic from my TV so I can still control it over the wifi. Then if I want to sell it I haven’t broken any functionality.

You can do anything…

Oof. Yeah when storing encryption keys for backup media it’s also important to remember to store the key in a place that is accessible when your services are down (like they could be at the time you’re needing to restore a backup).

I’ve definitely screwed up and realized that a key I needed was stored in a credential database that was stored on the encrypted backup I was trying to restore. I was able to access another copy but it slowed me down.

At least on Android, spoofing GPS location is trivial (not that workarounds like this should be necessary).

Maybe that’s where people are who need the information the most?

Businesses are happy to have their employees be more productive without having to pay for expensive new licenses… But eventually they’re going to find out that letting all your employees share swaths of private data with random websites is not a great idea.

This exactly. I’d use rsync to sync a directory to a location to then be backed up by kopia, but I wouldn’t use rsync exclusively for backups.

Ah yes… Pre-crime… Just like all those utopian sci-fi novels.

People just going about their business living their lives as they have for many years…

Silicon Valley: Hey fuck you. Also I came up with a dumb nickname for you.

I want the Ubiquiti Doorbell Pro (wired Ethernet) but it’s always sold out. Plus I’ve been hesitant to spend ion a Cloud Gateway or Dream Machine. I just wish I could use my own storage.

I need to just bite the bullet though.

Won’t longer key lengths increase the overhead for everything?

Bazzite is great.

Definitely do not do tapes.

I’d also recommend Backblaze. Their S3 compatible storage is pretty affordable. I backup to a Kopia repo and then replicate to Backblaze nightly.

Tapes require so much more work to keep up to date and mght not even be cheaper over time.

I use GarHAge which uses open hardware and software and was pretty easy and cheap too. https://github.com/marthoc/GarHAge

Everyone on the fediverse is Nicole and you can’t prove otherwise.

Obama taking no action to dismantle the surveillance state was my biggest problem with his administration. It was so obvious how that surveillance would be abused were it ever to get in the hands of a President with authoritarian tendencies.

And here we are.

Now they’ve fully eroded the 4th amendment and will use that knowledge to eradicate the 1st.
