This exact issue was the final straw for me ditching google photos! I had previously been using syncthing to sync & backup the photos, same as other files on my phone and laptop. I now use Immich [1] (mentioned elsewhere in this thread

They probably should at least update it -- I don't think a government should recommend free VPN services. Too many of them are a form of botnet, malware, ddos, etc.

I think the target of the anger here should be (at least in part): OneDrive. My understanding is that a modern, default onedrive setup will push all your onedrive folder contents to the cloud, but will not do the same in reverse -- it'

In the sci-fi film Arrival (also based on a short story), humanity are kind of like irresponsible young students. If we get past our focus on war/conflict/us vs them perhaps we can learn new things from the aliens. I think that br

It's not new, and some people would disagree on some minor elements -- but a good place to start was regularly this blog from approximately Matasano/NCC Group members, called Cryptographic Right Answers [1]. It's very clear,

It doesn't need a small number -- rather it relies on you being able to find a pairing amongst any of your candidates, rather than find a pairing for a specific birthday. That's the paradoxical part: the number of potential pairin

I view this a little like those Nigerian prince email scams. True or not, once upon a time I heard that they deliberately did not fix the obvious spelling and grammatical errors in the scam emails -- they acted as an excellent first pass fi

This is a good comment! But I'll add that many classical learners use tab, and I think there's absolutely no shame there. The music is what counts, and I think rarely would someone look down on a learner. Guitarists love other ppl

I watched the lecture and did not find it compelling. It was a very literal interpretation, discussed alongside the evidence presented in the text of what was and wasn't more or less traveled by. There was an interesting series of poin

I would love a way to regularly discover and watch some top, 'hit' TV shows or movies from outside of America or Australia (my home country), or sometimes England. I have no issues watching things with subtitles, but it is quite d

I'd love for a half half solution here. Where the phone collects notifications silently for an hour, then if there are any meeting the "alert" bar, it just buzzes or tones on the hour. Or whatever interval I choose. I think a

I clicked this by accident, but then read the full thing after noticing the author was Matt Levine! I'm sure there are other readers here who might appreciate his knowledge and writing style, so I mention it. [ To those who post opinio

Lovely design. Just a quick note to say that here in Australia, people are coffee crazy and would probably find a home for your kit. That includes individuals at home, but also cafes and hotel foyers etc. Might be worth considering an AU pl

Maybe this isn't the best place for feedback, but I was inspired to give this a go. Sadly it didn't work out. First error was: sh: line 1: Application: command not found By visiting https://new.phoenixframework.o

I do enjoy some of the podcasts mentioned in this thread, but struggle to find good non-American ("foreign"?!) podcasts to listen to. Similarly to finding good quality non-US film and television, it can be hard to locate but I gre

It's interesting how this (and other css?) means the website is readable in a phone in portrait, but the text is tiny in landscape!

I recently bought a TV (HiSense) after a very quick bit of research about the dimensions and the fact that it had GoogleTV as the OS. Unfortunately for me, the operating system for many TVs is region specific! Once the product appeared on H

I've been on the third side of this story -- the emergency responder side. Just wanted to say, thanks for looking out for your friend and housemate and making a difficult decision. No one can truly say whether it was the right or wrong

I'd love for this thing to be feature-flexible enough to use it for the exact opposite: running TV/screen/videogame timer for the kids! Looks great, love the dial/switch big button combo, and the opportunity to buy somet

In addition to the appendix, my go to example of this is my friend's favourite organ: the Thymus [1]! If you've heard of "T-Cells" you indirectly know about it. The interesting thing is that it is in a human when they ar

One thing that strikes me about this work, and Hokusai's other very popular wood block prints, is that he was a total perfectionist. He would get things juuuust right, with the colour and the production process, with each copy made, th

My open tabs constitute a much smaller percentage of my total browsing than the history, even though there's useful stuff in both. Speculating (extrapolating?) for someone who keeps a lot of tabs open: tabs represent desired history, c

I guess for those not sure of the context: The user Jia Tan added exploit code to the 'xz' tool as part of a larger deal. Wikipedia has a page on it here [1]. In this post, they are discussing some changes to print code specifical

That's an incredible idea -- I should chase down the 3 or 4 libraries near me and see if they have a 3d printer. If they have one, the staff there are probably quite keen for visitors to print a file. I do wonder about longer prints an

I love these projects but when I have had a need for a display at home, I struggled to find a case! Small displays complete with a case, that was also slim and of decent material, seemed incredibly elusive. I suppose the modern workflow is

In Australia in 2022, a very large institution had a breach of private records [1]. That same year they made $590 million profit. Today the Office of the Australian Information Commissioner has taken penalty action -- a rarity. This opens t

Just for example: It could be stored encrypted with the user's credentials. So when you want to browse "Recall" it might pop-up requesting a fingerprint, password, token etc. Then it decrypts, presents to the user, and closes

"Large" is doing quite a bit of work here: the engineer who found it had disabled turbo boost and was, by at least a little serendipity, quite performance focused at the time rather than being busy on other elements of their relea
