Agreed, but most people don’t backup at all. Then complain very loudly when they lose everything and blame everyone else other than themselves. Saw it daily fixing people’s phones.
I’d love to back up my phone locally, if there was an option, but AFAIK there isn’t, so I’m stuck. This is a problem with companies forcing you into their cloud ecosystem and removing your ability to bypass it and control things yourself. It’s only getting worse.
If your point is, “the climate changes anyway, humans will be fine”, I strongly disagree.
If your point is, “once the Earth kills off all of those pesky humans, it will recover from this damage within the next ~million years and will ultimately be fine”, I agree, unfortunately we won’t be here to see it.
How about XPipe?
It can even auto-configure itself by parsing out your ~/.ssh/config so you can keep everything defined there for easy CLI access but also use the GUI when desired.
I had something almost identical to this happen to me on Friday. Last year our company moved to a super locked down version of Teams, to the point where I couldn’t even open images that people put in the chat because of security issues, instead the image they posted would be replaced with an error image saying that I wasn’t allowed to open images, blah blah blah. That problem was resolved a long time ago though.
On Friday I was trying to send an image of some data processing to a colleague, and every time I put it in Teams, it would show up as that stupid error message. I spent a solid hour trying to figure out why that problem was back, was my computer not authenticating with MS properly, etc. Turns out my file browser was sorting by time order instead of reverse time order, and the screenshot at the top of the list from May 2 2024, was a screenshot of the error message that I used to send to IT when they were investigating the problem.
I’ve never understood this. You guys know you can have multiple Firefox windows, right? What’s the point of tab groups when you can just group related tabs in a different window? Between multiple workspaces, multiple monitors, and multiple browser windows, I never feel the need to have more than 5-10 tabs open on any one of them at a time. More than that and I’m clearly doing something wrong and need to clean up anyway.
Something I haven’t seen mentioned yet - if you’re in the US, lock down your credit at all 3 agencies. It takes 10-15 minutes and is free, it’s easy to do.
The issue is that many of these leaks include things like your full legal name, phone number, parents’ full legal names, your social security number, and your entire address history. This makes it trivially easy for somebody to steal your identity and start opening up credit accounts in your name. You need to lock down your credit before that happens. If you need your credit run in the future (opening a bank account, getting a credit card or loan), just ask them which agency they pull the report from and temporarily unfreeze it so they can run the report, then re-freeze it when they’re done. It adds 5 minutes of work once or twice a decade, but could be priceless later on when someone tries to steal your identity.
2-4G for swap (more if you want to hibernate), the rest for /. Only add a boot/EFI partition if needed.
Over-partitioning is a newbie mistake IMO, it usually causes way more problems than it solves.
I’m excited. Really glad they didn’t shy away from the inner monologue/narrator approach, that’s like 90% of the books so I wasn’t sure how they were going to handle things without it, but good to see that’s not a concern.
And? Who’s going to do anything about it? The stupidest people in this country gave a con man unilateral power to do anything he wants, what did they expect?
Pretty sure the country of origin for Apple products isn’t the US anyway. They’d be coming from China, India, etc. Reciprocal tariffs on the US should have no effect on Apple products sold in other countries.
Just another day in the DPRK…I mean US
I mean, you’re not wrong, but the same applies to all phone manufacturers. Samsung, Pixel, etc. are going to see similar price hikes due to tariffs in the US, and a similar drop in demand in China as the population there moves to Chinese manufacturers. I’m not sure why you’re singling out Apple.
Main reason is that if you don’t already have the right key, VPN doesn’t even respond, it’s just a black hole where all packets get dropped. SSH on the other hand will respond whether or not you have a password or a key, which lets the attacker know that there’s something there listening.
That’s not to say SSH is insecure, I think it’s fine to expose once you take some basic steps to lock it down, just answering the question.
Some people move the port to a nonstandard one, but that only helps with automated scanners not determined attackers.
While true, cleaning up your logs such that you can actually see a determined attacker rather than it just getting buried in the noise is still worthwhile.
Reverse proxy + DNS-challenge wildcard cert for your domain. The end. Super easy to set up and zero maintenance. Adding a new service is just a couple clicks in your reverse proxy and you’re done.
Yes at a cursory glance that’s true. AI generated images don’t involve the abuse of children, that’s great. The problem is what the follow-on effects of this is. What’s to stop actual child abusers from just photoshopping a 6th finger onto their images and then claiming that it’s AI generated?
AI image generation is getting absurdly good now, nearly indistinguishable from actual pictures. By the end of the year I suspect they will be truly indistinguishable. When that happens, how do you tell which images are AI generated and which are real? How do you know who is peddling real CP and who isn’t if AI-generated CP is legal?
10 people buy tickets for $1 each. The total is $10. Winner gets $5, and the historical society gets $5.
It wouldn’t matter. The public doesn’t listen directly to politicians, it gets filtered through the media first, and the media picks and chooses which parts they actually report. The people who would actually hear this already know. The people who would need to hear it never will because Fox won’t show it to them.
The complaint isn’t about the colon in OP’s image, it’s the colon in OP’s explanation.
OP complaining about an insignificant capitalization mistake in a Twitter post, while making a far more egregious grammatical error in their explanation is just…*chef’s kiss*
Syncthing could be used to replicate a directory somewhere, but that doesn’t address backing up the phone itself (apps, settings, SMS messages, etc.). Only option I’m aware of is iCloud. You can connect the phone directly to iTunes on a computer and back it up that way, but that only works with a hardwired USB connection and can’t be automated, so it’s a non-starter for a regular backup system. Android probably has more options, I’m referring to iOS specifically here though.
