I don't use Apple's products. I've never used Time Machine. I have a Synology NAS though. My understanding based upon reading the article, an the comments here, is that Apple's proprietary Time Machine format is to blame

I've already written this in a previous comment, however I think it bears repeating: I think Apple have introduced this client-side content scanning technology under the auspices of protecting against CSAM, while its true intention is

by livinginfear 5y ago
This is very relevant to the discussion of Apple's CSAM scanning. I'm convinced that this development has been precipitated by a very visible decline in America's economic, and social position as a world leader. I'm conv

That's not really true. Outside of tiling window managers, pretty much everything is designed around the same, familiar model of minimise/maximise/close buttons in the corner of the window. Just about every mainstream OS supp

I came here to say this very thing. This was the first thing that popped into my mind when I started reading. I hope the people responsible understand the motivations behind their customers using their product. It's a very superficial,

I'm a very privacy conscious Linux user. I'm not doing anything illegal, so I have no active concern about security. I'm not unrealistic. When it comes to my threat profiling, I don't expect my desktop to withstand attac

I understand that there are still some pain points for casual users. I first started using Linux on a daily basis in university in the mid 2000s. Back then, even distributions designed for casual users like Ubuntu had problems with everyday

It does. I might go with this option. It seems like it'll be easier than running the router in bridged mode, and adding another physical router.

by livinginfear 5y ago
I just looked, and my router does indeed support bridged mode. That might be my answer. Thanks for pointing this out!

It's a shame that someone so dedicated to their passions had to die young. Did he spend any time modeling the physics of a helicopter control system? It would have to be of the most complex control systems to model. You don't just

What method are people using to configure this oin their own network? The router supplied by my ISP doesn't support using a custom DNS server like a pihole, unfortunately. I don't consider using /etc/hosts a longterm w

> The US, if anything, is much less progressive than the USSR was at that time. Are you joking? In what respect is the USSR of the 1970s more 'progressive'(so-called) than modern-day America?

This is not the reason why Asian-Americans are discriminated against in college admissions, and this is not why Jews were discriminated against in the Soviet Union.

Technically , you don't. The beauty of FOSS software is that you don't need to trust the author. I know that auditing the source code of something as large as a Linux Distro may be prohibitively difficult for one person to do alo

Any post stating "I'm very successful, attractive, and generally impressive. Men won't date me." deserves to be treated with a healthy degree of skepticism. A post from a man stating the same would be dismissed ouright

Readers are placing a large degree of faith in the author's self-assessment. I, and I imagine many others, have known people who are totally oblivious to exactly how repellent their personalities are. The author may be extremely diffic

The comments on the video reassure me that I'm not alone in thinking that a 'safe space' in a virtual world is a totally schizophrenic idea.

This is one of the most outrageous things I've seen in a while. I really think the academic institutions are hammering the last nails into America's coffin. America is a failed state, the majority of Americans just don't know

SAT results correlate highly with IQ, and IQ correlates highly with success in life. Still, people engage in all kinds of postmodern mental gymnastics to explain why an intuitively obvious fact is somehow false.

Likening modern 'woke' mob outrage on Twitter to Maoist China is the correct analogy. The purpose of being 'cancelled' is not any kind of real social justice. It's the enforcement of an ideological orthodoxy. Neve
