  • 'Piracy Shield' Fails to Convert Pirates to Paying Subscribers, Data Suggest * TorrentFreak

    Jump

  • But, but the corporations are telling us that they loose so much money from all those people who are pirating and therefore not 'buying' their stuff.

    I mean the numbers they showed where huge! Hmm, maybe they forgot to carry the one or swapped some +/- diring their calculations.

  • Lenovo is removing the iconic Trackpoint with its new ThinkPad X9

    Jump

  • I still love the trackpoint and use it almost exclusively if the notebook is not connected on the docking station.

    It is just awesome if you can control the mouse while still keeping the hands on the middle of the keyboard.It's so much faster than to kove up and down and also more ergonomic, especially in the train when the laptop sits on my lap.The middle button enables easy scrolling on webpages (although the vim browser extention makes it even easier ther) or documents...

    Nothing else I used was able to beat this setup. And I used a lot of different devices over the tome

  • How to host vaultwarden internally

    Jump

  • Interesting, for me the apps required to have a valid tls cert.

  • Technologist: 'Fining Big Tech isn't working, make them give away illegally trained LLMs as public domain'

    Jump

  • Yes the fines are not high enough. IMHO there should be two payments: a return of all earnings which are related to the violation PLUS a hefty fine and/or jail for the executives

    That's the only way it isn't cost efficient for the big companies to ignore the laws. Also, make sure the fines are actually paid in full and in a reasonable amount of time

  • Opinion: if something is delisted from digital stores, then it should be legally allowed to be pirated

    Jump

  • I really like the idea, Im currently struggling with the implementation. There are so many issues to cover:

    • who enforces the law? It needs to be worldwide (at least for some products)
    • how are mergers handled?
    • what to do if the company goes bancrupt or is closed otherwises? Who will outsource the code where? And who will be accountable
    • does that also count for private people? (e.g.: if I take a picture, I own the copyright for it, do I lose my copyright if I don't sell the picture? Or does it only count if I sold it once? What if I sold it exclusively to someone?)
    • probably more

    There are so many loopholes which corps will use to get out of it :-(

  • Electric Cars Could Last Much Longer Than You Think - Rather than having a shorter lifespan than internal combustion engines, EV batteries are lasting way longer than expected

    Jump

  • Probably something to do with the MTBF (Mean Time Between Failure) based on that you can calculate how long your stuff lasts and how you should schedule repairs, or in that case, how long you can provide warranty. I'd be intetested in the numbers for the jump from 8 -> 15, too

  • VPS provider to host a cheap WireGuard relay for torrenting

    Jump

  • Just a heads up about switzerland:

    • downloading movies and music is not illegal, but
    • uploading is
    • also download and upload of copyrighted software is illegal

  • What do you host for your finances and why!

    Jump

  • Since most budgeting tools I found didn't satisfy my need (no cloud, automatic categorization of transactions etc.) I tried to create my own tool to categorize my transactions using camt.053 and csv files which I downloaded from my banks. Got bugged down with the presentation via bokeh, so it was pretty crude.

    I recently found beancount in combination with fava, which solved most of my problems I had with my own tool. And the good thing: I was able to re-use most of my 'auto-categorization' code with only small changes. Not sure how universal my importer is, but with a bit of python know-how it should be quite easy to create an importer for your specific bank export.

    From my experience, the csvs I got from my bank was insufficient for automatic mapping, which is why I'm using camt.053 where possible. As the camt.053 is not very common in many countries you could go for OFX files.

  • Your favorite lesser known docker container?

    Jump

  • PlantUML-Server: Github / Docker Hub I do use some plantuml graphics in my Obsidian notes to document my network setup. And it's really nice to have a self hosted renderer where all my devices can access it.

    UnifiBrowser Github / Docker Docker Image to access the Unifi API, helped a lot to debug the integration of Unifi data into other tools (e.g. Munin)

    Wanderer Github - Platform to save and upload gps tracks. I do misuse it as a platform for my motorbike tour 'library' for easy choice which tour I want to do

  • The app is intentional, with browsers they can't control which extensions you run, and therefore can't force their ads on you. With the app they can control the environment and you are legally not allowed to modify their app because trademark....

  • Recall: Microsoft re-launches ‘privacy nightmare’ AI screenshot tool

    Jump

  • Or greenshot, is also quite versatile

  • XPipe 10 comes with web service port-forwarding, markdown notes, better proxmox support, a new HTTP API, and more

    Jump

  • Looks really nice definitely gonna take a look at it.

    And, did I read that correctly: the pro licence is a onetime payment and you keep the all the current features even after the licence expires?

  • Flameshot, an Open Source screenshot software

    Jump

  • For me it gets a bit confused if I add or remove the external screens.

    Usually it is fixed if I quit and restart flameshot

  • Separate 2FA OTP app from my password manager

    Jump

  • For me it depends how "hardened" the account needs to be.

    For key accounts I keep the 2fa seperated (where possible with a fido token) For not so relevant accounts I add it to bitwarden. Because I probably wouldnt activate 2fa for these accounts if I'd have to pull out the phone each time

    Edit: you also can add the 2fa token to a separate vault

  • FTC Issues Orders to Eight Companies Seeking Information on Surveillance Pricing

  • Hey, hey...pssst you forgot to update the template to the your current crypto!

  • Firefox added ad tracking and has already turned it on without asking you

    Jump

  • Also, it might be annonymized for this dataset, by adding more 'annonymized' datasets stuff can be correlated

  • Musk is lightyears away from a self-driving car

    Jump

  • I'm happy to dunk on musk as much as the next guy, but that title is bull.

    Lightyears measure distance not time, how can they mess that up?

  • Yet more examples of how copyright destroys culture rather than driving it

    Jump

  • I likebthat, but I think this misses the part where a company pulls it from all markets, which should be states specificly.

    If you don't offer it anymore, you are not allowed to keep the copyright or patent.

  • Proton launches privacy-focused Google Docs alternative: Docs in Proton Drive is an open-source, end-to-end encrypted collaborative document editor

    Jump

  • If I have to choose between a company that freely sells and uses all my data versus a company that e2e encrypts my data and only complies with police and intelligence agency if it is specifically mandated by a swiss judge (and are fighing against it[1]), my money is definitely on the later

    Is it perfect? Probably not. - Does it match my thread model? Definitely yes!

    Also their privacy policy [2] allows to make a pretty well informed decision and map it against your thread model

    And by the way, here's the statement of the ceo regading the activist: https://proton.me/blog/climate-activist-arrest
