What a stupid article.

For real, this almost turned into one of those sarcastic “You better not self-host unless you are some goober that loves privacy, because it’ll take up so much of your time enjoying all the things you self-host!” articles. But committed to just this one guy’s experience with no limits and paying for things as a solution.

I self-host on a laptop I was about to get rid of. It costs nothing. I bought an external HD for immich, which I needed anyway.

I will believe it when I see it walking down the street. Powered by limitless fusion power.

This sounds like it wouldn’t be far away from just a basic spreadsheet. Dates, treatments, produce, etc., all easily added in there without much fuss.

You can share a single Joplin profile with shared data across multiple users, but a shared spreadsheet might make more sense.

For the elections I mentioned, it was at least a few days out. Within 24 hours, every one of them was accurate, not just in terms of the binary win/lose aspect, but also if it would be a close race or not, as the spread often includes wins based on electoral college vote totals. Functionally, all it can really do for you is not make you feel like you need to stay up late biting your nails, and give you an idea of what’s really going to happen. Maybe enough time to call people on election day and make sure they voted.

This isn’t just me speculating, it’s well-studied. https://theconversation.com/joe-biden-how-betting-markets-foresaw-the-result-of-the-2020-us-election-150095

As much as y’all don’t want this to be accurate, sadly, it kind of is. Non-US betting markets in 2016, 2020, and 2024 all correctly called the US presidential election better than Five Thirty Eight or polls or any other formerly reliable method.

Edit: Sadly, you all downvoted this out of personal feels and anger, not accuracy of the statement, which has research to back it up. SMH.

Well, she also had terrible dementia for years, so the only passwords she was going to remember was the Little Orphan Annie secret code of “Drink More Ovaltine.”

My MIL is a grandma, and I would give her a 75% chance of reading her passwords to “someone from the bank” if they caught her at the right time. Maybe she’s already done that, I’m not sure if she did that or almost did that once.

Today’s cuts are said to impact a couple of hundred employees, largely in areas such as tech and HR, which is a smaller number than the two previous rounds of layoffs earlier this year.

Disney employs around 220-000- 230,000 people. So this is maybe 1% of staff, to put that in perspective.

This is oddly inspirational

Would be 100 right now if she had led out for a few more months.

Ah, gotcha.

So, basically a biometic key, but with a password? Isn’t that basically just a self-signed certificate, then?

No, sorry, I’m a network vegan. I only eat things that are grown at Layer 1. My packets are whole-grain and processed by hand. carried by pigeons. IP by Bird is how I surf the web, dude!

Not CPU costs, processing costs. Password resets are actually quite expensive. Microsoft and Google pushed the FIDO Alliance toward widespread use of a passwordless login credential because it benefited them. Google and MS get tens of millions of password resets a year. So if each one of those cost them $2 (some companies spend as much as $70 on each one if a human is involved), that’s literally tens of millions of dollars saved. Then you say “oh, for security” as the tie-in to not make it about your bottom line.

I wait for something to break. Then I yell “God fucking dammit, I don’t have time for this right now!” and spend an hour triaging things before I just try docker down, pull, up and everything works.

Passkeys are worthless trash, invented explicitly to save Microsoft and Google money on password reset server time.

They do not solve session hijacking. Any attacker that has your granny on the phone to read them her password can also tell granny to go to a link and give them her session cookies.

So…re-using the same password for every service and site?

Grandma, that’s enough internet for today, OK?

Y’all, not it’s not. Bots, maybe, but also what’s the source of this data?

This chart lists Mac OS and OSX as 2 different lines. You trust this data because it confirms your biases?

We never have been. Hell, not even ahead of the curve. Just not feeding the beast after it’s already bitten your hand.

OK, slow down there, pardner.

First off, advertising data is already used to do this. The WH app probably doesn’t really provide anything new that the CCP can’t already buy, the same way the USG buys ad data to track both Americans and non-Americans alike in violation of spirit of the 4th Amendment. The app might be vulnerable to targeted attacks and zero days, as everything made by this administration is twice as expensive and a quarter as good as what’s available to the general public because corruption is the only metric for success with them.

Second, if it’s a classified device, then (using the DOD as a proxy) the WH app isn’t secure enough to be allowed as installed because it wouldn’t pass NSA vetting because it is an attack surface for targeted hacks. Meaning that nothing beyond emails that are FOIAable anyway are on the devices.

Third, real life isn’t movies. Calm down, Liam Neeson.

I wasn’t talking about government employees. I was talking about the elected officials :)

These people literally give away classified documents to friends as party favors. No one that isn’t an idiot thinks they’re doing anything other than undermining the US in every thing they do. It’s literally part of Peter Thiel’s goal, to pump and dump the whole country. It’s been pump for too long, so they’ll crash it, buy cheap, and then act like kings.
