That’s pretty annoying.

I had a similar experience today with two other services. The bot detection systems these sites are using is completely broken.

I’ve had my tuta account for a while so never had that issue with them. But I don’t appreciate the way they handled your issue. I wouldn’t use tuta if I was treated like that.

Buy IP PoE cameras like Amcrest or Reolink, hard wire them to a detected hub that is either disconnected from the internet, or firewalled to only allow direct access over your own personal VPN.

AI is the poetic culmination of where society has been heading for decades.

A photocopy of a photocopy.

AI is literally an acceleration of Jean Baudrillard’s theories on modern culture.

Not that I think that excuses it. If anything it’s more depressing.

Take it one step further and host your repo somewhere other than github. Codeberg, perhaps?

I believe this is the original whitepaper: https://ws.binghamton.edu/fridrich/Research/double.pdf

And here’s an implemention I found on github: https://github.com/andrewlewis/camera-id

With that repo you should be able to test ways to obfuscate the noise signal.

Most people don’t know your photos can be cross profiled and identified by the unique noise signature of your camera.

I’ve never heard of it being used in practice though. There’s a github repo somewhere if you’re interested in trying it yourself.

Partly true but Amazon has been known to make dupes of a product and sell it at a loss to drive the competitor out of business. I’m sure that threat lingers in some peoples’ minds.

They probably also promise the management team “you’ll still have creative control after we buy you”. Then turn around and replace each of them one by one

This has been such a depressing trend over the last few decades.

Fresh bright-eyed startup with a passionate creator develops some interesting and innovative product.

Gets bought out by FAANG, turns to shit and stops working properly or gets discontinued, and primarily functions as a spyware device.

I’d like to know as well, but it seems strange for ncdu to take that long. I scan through terrabytes within a few seconds.

I haven’t had that experience at all and I’ve been here for years. Maybe you’re lurking in the wrong subs.

Lots of shit-talking Bazzite…

I don’t game much but when I do it’s on Fedora.

What distro do you all recommend for my Windows buddy looking to switch to gaming on Linux?

We’ve all been there. It’s super frustrating but once you’ve attained enough experience with a Linux OS you come to appreciate it and the problems either become less impactful or disappear as you learn to anticipate your actions causing said issues and adjust your behavior accordingly.

I’ve been a Windows user for multitudes longer than I’ve been a Linux user. It took me a few years to become a fairly advanced user of Linux. When I occasionally have to use Windows for work I still struggle to troubleshoot anything and am constantly frustrated knowing a task I’m doing could be many times simpler if I was on Linux.

Try turning off the device, remove the battery, then take a safety pin and compressed air and scrape out any dust I’m the usb-c port then spray with air. I had a issue with my phone charging but not getting data. I spent a solid 15mins doing the above and it fixed it.

A good test is to see how firmly the usb-c sticks in the port. If it comes out pretty easy or feels seated sloppily then it probably just needs a good cleaning.

I use Signal but I keep signal use to personal IRL contacts. I don’t use Matrix as much anymore but if you have a matrix room I’d join in. I’m on the more advanced side of the privacy lifestyle so my communications are highly compartmentalized. Simplex is a bit clunky still but for smaller communities it’s not terrible.

Do you have plans to make a Simplex group soon? You mentioned on the pod it’s where you two first met. Would love to chat and Simplex is the most private option imo.

I’d be curious to see this symbol replacing the hand in the previous thread’s eye and palm.

For me his skyrim video back in the day had me crying. But I’m sure if I watched it now it wouldn’t be as magical.

I finally got around to installing this app but it requires an account. Is this a recent requirement?

I can’t remember any time in the last 2 years before I deleted my reddit account where a post I made didn’t get auto-moderated.

My bad. Its been a while, but Thunderbird at one point. If I remember right there was an update relatively recently that made it much more difficult to import offline emails, so if you find a better alternative let me know.
