Have you tried the Synology Photos app ( https://www.synology.com/en-global/DSM70/SynologyPhotos [1]) While it does have some kinks it's surprisingly good and has the features you are looking for in a locally

What does the OP's "S3 detection" mean in this context? I'm not clear how the list of vulnerable domains was collected in this instance - presumably he had to know which domains to create buckets for?

Yes and the marketing copy that says "grab a bite in Sunset or visit Golden Gate Park" kind of implies the Ave's will the service area. I don't think it's going to be downtown and Soma, yet.

Respectfully you've missed what this is. This has nothing to do with data sent up to iCloud - at that point not only can those photos be checked via hash they can be further reviewed if there is a positive/high degree match The i

He might care because he wants to go to Mars and so presumably it's totally reasonable to assume he might have the opportunity to go to space more than once. He might want to do a 3 day tour of the Earth as the beginning of that. He m

What I've been surprised about is that Elon isn't going on either this mission or just one of his own seeing as SpaceX could presumably have two commercial flights. Given the 'length comparison games' that Branson and Be

How can a charted flight be "commanded"? I looked into this previously, so Jared Isaacman not only is a billionaire from a payments gateway startup he founded, he also is the biggest private owner of military jets and owns a com

Seems prudent to point out this isn't the product of a disgruntled's weekend project with fancy webdesign. This is a product from MSCHF which is a $100M+ startup [1] (feels like they're getting a bit of an astroturfed free ri

If that was really enforceable then anyone playing music out of their phone speaker in public, eg on the bus, would be infringing. It's not a thing. (why people insist on playing music in public out of their phone speaker in an annoy

IANAL but spent a lot of time around DMCA and rights... I doubt the cop playing music on a paid Spotify account/etc in this way would be considered commercial reproduction. At least not by the cop - possibly the by the person uploadin

The BBC (News's) tech section isn't aimed at you. Inaccuracies shouldn't be there but often they will dumb down or gloss over stuff for the mainstream audience they are aiming at. You notice it cos you are in tech, but the s

A number of people loosely connected with BBC Backstage (from inside the BBC at the time and outside of it) went to work for the UK Gov Digital Service under then-minister Francis Maude, which is where a lot of the Open Data stuff came from

I was one of the two founders of BBC Backstage, sadly the BBC shut it down a few years after I left as it didn't have the support internally and the BBC became under even greater pressure to save money.

Just to say, I'm not a shill for NordVPN - no affiliation with them. I was wanting to reiterate a hosted option vs self-install and it was the first one that came to mind. Noted they are not good!

by dotBen 5y ago
Why don't you just use a VPN for this (self hosted or 3rd party like NordVPN)? Especially given the additional risk of tor users being attacked, which the author refers to in the opening paragraphs of the post.

There's something about this that just makes me really sad. I guess being in my late 30's I hold on to the flawed notion that there is sanctity in something that is 'published'. Does anyone here want to read a book that

Doesn't this discriminates against people who are on visas who can't accept remuneration from anyone other than their current employers..? They then either have to do the same project for free or decline to continue the interview
