I’ve now seen aliasvault so many times I’m starting to be suspicious of it. Thankfully its only been in this community so I can acknowledge that I’m the problem and not them, but it just reminds me of Omarchy a few months back having never heard of it and suddenly every tech YouTuber is mentioning it. Again, I’m the problem, aliasvault seems promising.

I would maybe hold off on choosing Bitwarden. Around the time they raised their pricing they started getting venture capitalist money so the enshittification there may be coming. As far as alternatives, the only other one I’ve used besides Proton is KeePass which could be make or break depending on how you setup the vault, I’d probably save it in something pCloud so you aren’t screwed should something happen to your server, but YMMV.

I kind of looked around on the site, it kept mentioning fair use limits and that the number would be communicated effectively before any change, but I can’t see the current limit to email aliases and whatnot, if anyone can find that answer it’d be lovely.

I saw someone mention pCloud and thought I’d take a moment to point out that if you can afford a heftier upfront cost, pCloud has different levels of Lifetime plan and probably will have a decent Black Friday sale for it. That said, they could probably change the terms of that retroactively, I don’t know anything about the company itself, but still worth mentioning. Personally, I’d recommend something like on prem NextCloud (or similar) with backups going to pCloud. Bonus points for encrypting those backups with Cryptomator.

Wasn’t it Mississippi that called hitting F12 in the browser hacking as well?

Edit: Missouri, I knew it was one of them southern M states

This is official data from an API leak from last year, not supplemented with DeFlock/OSM data. Chances are that the camera is newer than when the leak took place. It also seems like more of a PR stunt than anything else. Hosting leaked data is more legally dubious than DeFlock being a map of real people saying “I saw this thing here.” Basically just Proton telling Flock “nah nah nah nah nah nah you can’t get me in my swiss alps.” To be clear, I’m all for them doing this, fuck Flock and all that.

I was listening to an interview with Meredith Whitaker (Signal’s CEO) yesterday on the Futurology Podcast. Her response to the “I have nothing to hide” comment was to imagine being sat down in a room and given access to a database of every text you’ve ever sent. Imagine that searchable database is not just at your disposal. Every bad day you’ve ever had complaining about your boss to a coworker, people, especially lawyers, love to take things out of context.

If you use Soulseek, you could do a search for a generic word and then filter it to .epub files and see what it finds

Sorry, don’t have any sort of ham radio license or anything 😂

I think in most cases it’s added functionality and convenience at the cost of privacy, sure the scale is still gonna tell you how much you weigh, but what if it automatically saved that to an app so you can track your weight loss progress without writing it down manually (as long as you’re OK with some company also having that info so they can share ads with you for weight loss products to help you reach that goal faster without allowing you to build the habits to do it right.

Isn’t it nice that you can just ask your fridge if there’s milk in it while you’re at the store rather than hoping you have milk, or assuming you dont? Disregard the fact that Samsung is using that fridge to know whether or not you’re home right now, if you have an iPhone, or what kind of smart TV you have. It’s still a fridge, it still keeps things cool, until a firmware update breaks that of course, guess you just need to buy a new fridge, it’s been a couple years anyway.

Sometimes (though not often) the smart appliance is cheaper since they know they’re gonna make money on the data.

Is Azure Local different than Hyper-V in any way? Most of our ESXi servers we’ve just been installing windows server on, setting up Hyper-V and migrating VMs over.

What hour can you do it at then?

You want me to go somewhere that isn’t YouTube? How inconvenient

The one thing I haven’t figured out with Matrix screen share audio, I was told one of the last updates to the Cinny app added it, but I haven’t found an option for it. Any chance you know if that works anywhere?

Think of how many minorities they miss out on because they let technology tell them where to point their guns

/s, I don’t know if that’s as big an issue in Canada as the US

If anyone is interested, the CTO of Quad9 just did an interview with TechLore talking about their benefits and giving some laymen answers about DNS and encrypted DNS:

Interesting, I’ve been using the actual deflock app, but it doesn’t have android auto. I’m assuming this pulls data from OSM or deflock. Do you know how quick that syncs?

I had this talk with a friend the other week, but I can’t recommend enough that if something OSM based isn’t showing correctly, you can always add it in once you find the right answer. For example, if it doesn’t have hours listed for a business, I’ll go to their website and copy that data in, or if the address doesn’t show up right, I’ll edit the building with the correct address. I found the other day that the address for my apartment was listed over a garage up the street instead of my building and I just removed the one and added in the other.

Absolutely wild that Sceptre seems to be the last brand without a smart TV, is generally cheaper, and has more ports than the Samsung one I bought a few years ago, which can’t be better than LG

Thanks for the explanation. I don’t know how common that knowledge is, but if I knew and ran a business, I think I’d avoid pricing anything at $x.88
