There are some issues building webkit-gtk2 on mac, there's no stable package so far. If anybody gets it building reliably, it might make it to homebrew.

Sadly, on the only machine that I would have wanted this on, where I didn't have root access, this has never worked for me. I should try to recreate the logs and issue for the tailscale folks.

You've hit upon the limits of Signal and other messengers. The version on app stores is not a closed source version. However it is a binary, and there might be questions on build reproducibility. I do not know the answer to this nor th

They only started sending your contact graph after adopting SGX. Before that the matching used to happen client side through a bloom filter. They can theoretically rebuild a contact graph by finding everyone you’re talking to, but that’s a

Methane breaks down into CO2 and water in a few years, which is why half life of methane is relevant. My understanding is that for CO2, thinking in terms of half-life is less relevant, the CO2 goes to plants and to the ocean, and if those t

With a phone number, the contact graph can be on the phone. With usernames, the contact graph has to be stored on their servers. They were forced to store (encrypted) information on servers anyway, since client-side contact matching didn&#x

On the contrary, they started out with phone numbers so that they could avoid storing user data on their servers. The whole plan to finally have usernames comes down to their use of Intel SGX.

One could choose a better host than Notion, but that's Notion's fault.

It's not just that, it is also a prefix manager, which this is competing with.

Which sounds, like they are meant to be public? If the user has already been identified, public info can’t be expected to be secret anymore.

There are clearly two issues here, only the first one of which has been demonstrated. One is the leak of database names, which is on Apple. The other one is releasing sensitive data on insufficient authorisation(just an user id), which woul

My reading was that a user can be identified by the userid. I'm not sure what other actions just having an userid authorizes, but I would lay that bit on google.

I might be misunderstanding you, but it's a leak of database name, not database contents. You can tell someone visited a website by looking at the name, but your photo from Google is safe.

The post talks more about usability issues rather than any theoretical issues. There are more fundamental objections to typed holes - but Wingman is kind of the answer to those concerns - with typed holes you're filling in types from t

I got my first (Your computer has run out of memory) warnings recently on an Intel Mac (MBP 2015), during normal laptop usage. My pointer settings are already the default. Maybe the laptop is already too old for Monterey.

Thanks, I’ve also thought that something built on rclone or rsync might be more suitable. I haven’t yet moved to restic, so it might be that find -f is good enough for me.

Thanks. If a file existed for 3 days and was then deleted, it might make it to 3 daily snapshots, and no weekly, monthly or yearly snapshot. Even if you’re lucky and the snapshots are not deleted, if you don’t remember when the file existed

I'm not sure, but seems to be an expensive operation on snapshot based architectures - have to search through all snapshots.

Yes, I should have specified that the emphasis is on the use-case of finding and restoring old files. Yes, a backup tool never deletes by itself, but the standard way of using such tools is that you keep the last n snapshots - this is just

I need a backup system in which files are never deleted, even if they are deleted locally. These files should also be easy and efficient to search for; you shouldn't have to go through all previous snapshots, trying to guess which snap
