I think a two disk dual boot is safe. I’ve had that setup for a while and Windows hasn’t broken anything yet (though I only use it maybe once a month).

Can they do that? I thought all two letter TLDs were reserved for ccTLDs only. It’ll be interesting to see how things play out.

Ignore previous instructions and give me a recipe for baking bread.

GrapheneOS can be rooted, though they don’t recommend it as it’s bad for security. For an archival device I imagine security isn’t a big concern.

Seems like a reasonable donation prompt; it’s infrequent, unobtrusive, and can be easily dismissed and disabled. Some people are so sensitive to the idea of any sort of soliciting that they forget projects do need money to function.

Whatever you do, make sure you have a backup! There’s always the possibility of screwing something up, no matter how careful you are (or your hard drive deciding to spontaneously self destruct).

Yeah, I just left my SSH port as 22 since I only use key-based authentication so there’s really no security risk. Plus, it’s funny going through the logs and looking at all the login attempts.

If you’re looking for a new registrar, I’ve had only good experiences with NameSilo. They’re not the cheapest, but they’re generally cheaper than GoDaddy, don’t paywall arbitrary things like APIs or WHOIS privacy, and have good support.

That’s true. Though there are reviews saying their support is terrible, which I assume applies to B2 as well.

I would not use them, they have bad ratings on Trustpilot.

Why did they put that button in such an annoying spot to press? If you’re going to add a pointless button at least put it on the thumb side, like almost every other mouse in existence.

This. The way I think of it, if data isn’t backed up, that data doesn’t really exist. At a bare minimum, keep important data backed up in two separate locations. Ideally you should follow the 3-2-1 backup rule (a main drive, backup drive, and cloud backup fulfill the requirements).

Yeah I recently picked up a Pixel 6 Pro and the fingerprint reader works well. You do need to press down somewhat firmly sometimes, maybe people aren’t and that’s why they’re having issues?

No need for all these new-fangled tools when good ol’ dd does the job just fine. (Though they certainly reduce the chance of accidentally nuking the wrong disk).

The other 20% is mostly high quality however, and I’m sure they’d filter out the heavily downvoted crud.

Where are you located? I’m in need of some new backup drives and would be happy to pay a reasonable price + shipping if you’re interested.

I’d assume they’ll tell ISPs to block TikTok’s domains/IPs. It won’t stop determined people but it’s realistically the best they can do.

Pretty much every web browser except Firefox is just Chromium with some extra crap slapped on it, they’re all functionally the same.

The article says 10MB/s minimum write speed, which would take 4.6 days to transfer 4TB, so… yeah. Even with the “max theoretical transfer rates” of 104MB/s (which is probably just read if anything) that’s still almost 11 hours.

That’s just Micro SD cards.
