If the government wants my data, they can just raid me and take my home server. I trust that google can secure it from random hackers better than I can.

Nextcloud on a linux system is your best bet. And its a huge pain. You essentially have to learn devops and regularly check in to see everything is running correct. And then one mistake and your data is at risk. You also have to manage back

It also doesn't mean anyone will actually support it. I have plenty of devices which you can flash your own OS on but eventually the hobby community gets bored and no one is left supporting it. You also have the problem of getting ever

Which is why google drive or the ms version is the real solution for most people. Zero effort, low cost, automatically backed up, and has a huge security team keeping your data safe.

You could also just pay a few $ a month for cloud storage and be much safer than any home made or self hosted setup.

Because we are only just seeing the results of a new wave of tech. You didn't have to worry about your hdd not getting firmware updates and being hacked before so there is no law about it.

And then not a single user ever updates their firmware which is probably even worse than auto updates. The real answer is crappy OEM hardware should not be exposed to the internet. Put it behind a gateway by a decent vendor like Apple or Go

Since a lot of their customers will be on the grey side of legitimacy, I imagine credit card fraud would be common which can get their seller account shut down.

These days most sites do it by requiring a phone number. Since most countries require ID for a phone number and functional burner numbers are really hard to get, the system works well.

They can follow the road rules perfectly and every time one gets destroyed the driver gets sent the bill for reckless driving and potentially has their license status reviewed. Seems like a pretty good system.

I found the best thing I did for friendships is moving to the city. Normally I would not do things because it was way too much work to visit people or have them visit me. Now its as simple as them walking back to my apt with me after work a

This seems like the same issue namecoin was trying to solve but never got anywhere. Does eth.link look more promising?

Concrete exteriors can look nice. I'm not sure if its just because its newer but I think this building (green one) pulls off raw concrete nicely https://i.imgur.com/gikmvgG.jpeg

They don't have to. The apt building I live in must be built really well because I have never heard a single sound from the people around me. I can only just hear muffled talking/music while standing in the hallway but never from

You can disable secure boot and add your own keys in the firmware config page. Who knows how long that will last though.

This is a typical hacker news comment. Not everyone upgrades their PC every week. I know many people using computers much older than the newest unsupported hardware and they will still be using it after 2025. They just won't be gettin

Seems like a reasonable response from someone who sleeps in their car and likely can't afford to replace the part being stolen. And every news article of someone being shot or crushed as the jack fails makes it a little less likely som

The reefs are being bleached by higher sea temperatures. It is well known and has been observed for a while now.

A danger warning would only boost tourism with "last chance" visits.

Ok so if we slice China in half with a border, we have halved their total emissions. If we add another line we can quarter their emissions. I'm sure the reefs feel much better about accounting based on totals.

The average person doesn't have any appreciation for how impressive modern technology is. I recently started using google photos and I was blown away by how good the button is that identifies things in a photo. I took a photo of the ba

It's because half the population has their retirement based on housing values so if you crush that, you have a generation of boomers with no retirement money.

There is so much ignorance about apartments in Australia as well. I moved in to one recently after living in the suburbs my whole life and knowing no one in an apartment. Basically everyone tried to tell me it was a horrible idea and it wou

Considering people often search 'github project name' it probably makes sense.
