The last two US presidential elections and the way the US population handled Covid has really left me thinking that we're doomed when it comes to global warming.

Along the same lines, I remember coming across a lot of bad information when learning about Docker & iptables. For example, this article about using fail2ban & docker will leave your system unprotected: https://chlee.co&#

I use DriveSync Pro and I want to say I had this issue and had to fiddle with the Android app preferences to allow it to run in the background, I may be confusing it with another app issue though.

It should be implied that if you are backing up files at some point you might like to restore them

The files were still in Google Drive under "My Computer". My attempt was the latter, reinstalling the Backup and Sync client.

I disagree. I had my machine backed up to Google Drive using their Backup and Sync program and when I got a new machine there was no reasonable way to restore the data from the old machine to the new machine, using Google Drive. Sure I can

I keep Authy installed on my tablet for exactly this reason, in case I lose my phone I still have a backup device for 2FA. Won't help for the SMS 2FA for the sites I'm forced to use that on, but at least Authy lets me get to the i

It's not hard to generate a large volume of data with today's digital cameras (video & still). Backing that up to the cloud at 10 Mbps takes forever. Oh you want to switch cloud backup providers now? It will be another year be

Nice blog post! That's exactly what I needed earlier last year when I was looking at this stuff :) Looks pretty straightforward. I am surprised it is not more of a priority to get merged though, it is so essential.

Unfortunately restic was a no go for me due to not being compatible with B2 keys that only have the permissions readFiles,writeFiles,listBuckets,listFiles (no deleteFiles). I don't want the attacker to be able to delete any backups if

I think it's only a matter of time before all new cars come with front and rear facing cameras. I think the next step after that would be some sort of reporting system. Seems kinda crazy I can click a button to report somebody cheating

Wouldn't it be easy for Google to only strip the geolocation data if you are not the owner of the photo though?

Google Backup & Sync makes it very cumbersome to retain a local copy of your photos. They used to sync them to Google Drive, so you could at least use Backup & Sync to have local copies. However, they got rid of that feature some ti
