I can only speak of on Linux. If you know the disk is bad, clone it, with ddrescue, and fix the clone. But in future RAID and backup remotely. Also, next gen filesystems like ZFS and Btrfs for check sums and self healing and subvolumes with send/receive deltas between them.
I feel bad buying things DRM’ed, so I very rarely do, and not for myself. I don’t want to fund that. Feels much better funding DRM free work.
Also depends on the country. It isn’t everywhere. Non-commercial file-sharing is legal in a number of European countries and I’m sure elsewhere.
It could be taken as a sign of the health of the democracy’s function and technically literacy of the population. In a society of tech heads with a highly functional democracy, it would be DRM measures that would be illegal…
Just a follow up to this.
So I never ended up contacting O2 to say “please stop this”, I just used Wireguard to home and ignored it. Until the local Morrison’s wifi started doing the same thing but worse and I couldn’t event Wireguard round it.
So I finally just bought a domain and setup my Apache to redirect the old duckdns to the new domain.
So far this all seams to be working great.
I’m not sure that’s true of TV series. I’m not arguing for monopoly by the way. Exclusives are anticompetitive and that’s bad!
Isn’t that an argument of monopoly by Netflix would be better?
Yep. They don’t understand the down sampling.
Storing offline is great and all, but I hope everyone is storing on multiple disks at multiple locations…
Yer didn’t think so, I’m sure photos are being lost.
Exactly, both end points are blackboxes compromised by Facebook.
Closed app by data mining company, of course they get all the data they can.
Any UTC type is going to do native time and convert for display.
But with native time directly, you can just an int64 with loads of space for fine resolution via multiplication.
Storing time broken up into separate units is crazy.
The only code with timezones should be the bit squishy meat bags touch. Everything’s is should be UNIX time. Or it you are unfortunate enough to be on Windows, NT time.
Some unfortunate programmers already have to deal with the speed of time not being a constant. In a distant future, timestamps might always have a universal position (and speed), and is that much different from timezones?
Or we find some way of removing time distortion of physics. Find the universe’s real systick. 😃
On the PS3 cell processor vector units, any NaN meant zero. Makes life easier if there is errors in the data.
Reddit wasn’t my first or last news forum platform. (Newsgroups were my first)
Unfortunately this bit of Lemmy reminds me of gote/goat (whatever it was called), that turned into pit of Nazis kicked out of Reddit. Or Twitter as rules are removed.
Seams to be, were there is no decent code of conduct, you get Nazis. Be interesting to see how it plays out on a federated platform.

Putin is too paranoid to ensure succession is in place. If he goes, and it will be bloody infighting until a new strong man arises.
But just insisting nations bend over when he decides he wants them is no mechanism for peace.
Giving up liberty doesn’t buy you security. You just end up with neither. Putin won’t stop with Ukraine.
Man, there is a lot of crazy and/or bots/trolls here.
Appeasing people like Putin doesn’t lead to peace.
Can it run problem bank apps? I need a bank auth app for work as the bank stopped fobs and it just would not run on LineageOS. It refused to run because “the phone is insecure”. I tried Magisk hiding stuff and MicroG, and a number of way of tricking methods. That’s why I ended up on GrapheneOS, as a compromise without feeling too compromised. Everything seams to think it’s on a normal Android phone, but I’ve sandboxed the Google tentacles. But it would be better if mandating OS wasn’t allowed. If I want to run a “insecure” phone, that’s my “problem”.
