This has been one of my worries when I set up my NAS as encrypted. I ended up going through the recovery process a few times before storing any real data, since I wanted to be sure I could get myself back in if the OS drive failed or something gets corrupted and I have to unlock it from a live USB.

Instagram is also Meta, so it doesn’t look like anyone actually left Meta’s platform

There’s plenty of perfectly fine used vehicles that are old enough to have physical controls, but new enough to still have a reverse camera and Android Auto. Personally I’m not buying any new vehicle with a cellular modem.

Be careful, you might delete the database if it was designed by Tom.

it kinda looks like they just mistyped “dropping it” and they’re actually talking about some streaming service like Disney+

Companies should already be storing password hashes, so the risk of leaking a hash vs a public key is roughly the same. It’s just that private keys are generally longer than passwords and therefore harder to bruitforce.

Any company storing passwords in a recoverable format deserves to be hacked.

Lack of adoption doesn’t really make password managers a workaround. What’s being worked around? People’s laziness?

Password managers actually do solve the phishing problem to an extent, since if you’re using it properly, you’ll have a unique password for every service, limiting the scope of the problem.

Putting TOTP 2fa codes in your password manager behind the same password as everything else actually destroys any additional security added by 2fa, since it puts you back to a single auth factor.

Lol, that print has more creases on it than a homework assignment that’s spent all day in my backpack

In an ideal world, there’s enough CSS/JS inlined in the HTML that the page layout is consistent and usable without secondary requests.

There might be some CAT6 cable inside somewhere

This seems necessary if they’re to maintain an IP ban list. You shouldn’t just be able to unban yourself by submitting an information deletion request.

Maybe they’re about to solder it on “dead-bug” style? lol

Save to /dev/null

There’s a few different services you can use to set it up. I quite like Buildkite since they’ve got a pretty easy setup for running jobs on your own hardware, but I think several other CI services have a self-hosting option.

The best part about it for me is I can run GPU tests and do automatic screenshot diffs for my game engine. Normally renting a GPU server is super expensive, but it’s basically free to run myself using my old hardware.

I self-host a decent bit of stuff. My setup has been to rent rack space in a datacenter to put my own storage server in, plus a second server at my house that I mirror backups between. I run my own VPN, “Cloud” storage, lemmy instance, game servers, websites, CI build systems, media streaming, etc… You can find some cheap server hardware on eBay that’s only a generation or two old, which you’ll need if you’re running in a datacenter, but for home servers it’s super easy to just set up an old desktop with a battery backup.

TCP will generally send up to 10 packets immediately without waiting for the ACKs (depending on the configured window size).

Generally any messages or websites under 14kb will be transmitted in a single round-trip assuming no packets are dropped.

Your hardware is incompatible

I think you’ll have an extremely hard time finding any hardware that supports Windows but can’t run linux. With Win11 requirements it’s much more likely to be the other way around.

Your applications/games only work well on native Windows

Personally, every game I care to run works perfectly fine on my Steam Deck. I refuse to play any games that require kernel-level anti-cheat. It’s officially distributed malware if you ask me.

Well, it’s an order of magnitude less force than the “server room” experienced, considering the whole rack of computers was compressed into a solid mass.

SanDisk SD cards are actually rated for up to 500Gs, and with how light the SD card is, it can survive these indirect impacts more easily. “1000s of Gs” is just a completely random estimate considering how some of the other heavier internal camera parts were damaged (a circuit board connector sheared off).

They used 3 mini PCs with SSDs, which all of them were completely smashed and unrecoverable. the flash chips were all cracked or missing.

The SD card was from inside a titanium cased underwater camera that was mounted outside the hull. It wasn’t actually in the implosion, it just survived the shockwave (which was probably 1000s of Gs, so still impressive)
