I was 😭

Thank you, it’s very kind of you to say. Thankfully, I hadn’t made any changes in the last few days so everything is fully backed up. A silver lining to an otherwise unfortunate event

Ubuntu… But I just realised I’ve been ransomwared.

Guess I’m spending my Monday recovering from backups. Fun fun fun!

Was bought out by dotdash a few years ago. Been on a steady decline ever since. The old content is still there, so it still works as a reference, but the new stuff is not of the same quality

Serious eats 😢 RIP

Hetzner got blocked by who?

I’ve not heard about this. Does anyone have a link to share? Can’t find one myself

What do you mean with “went to bed”?

Copied from a reddit comment to save others a click through:

Just to make this slightly easier to find. You can opt out of the settings with the following:

Go to https://app.plex.tv/desktop/#!/profile/edit

Click on "Privacy Settings" at the bottom of the page

Dialog pops up where you can change stuff to private

The longer version is as follows, if you want to find the setting more organically:

Go to https://app.plex.tv/

Find "Discover" in the left hand bar, either it's pinned or under "More" -> "Plex" -> "Discover"

Click "Edit Profile" button

Click on "Privacy Settings" at the bottom of the page

Dialog pops up where you can change stuff to private

This was a well written and interesting piece from someone who knows about the subject matter. What a refreshing piece of content. Thank you for sharing

I guess it also depends on if you buy it new or second hand. Can get them fairly cheap on ebay

That looks great! I always thought I didn’t like the look of the breville machines, but I guess it’s just the colour I’m not keen on. If only they offered them in different colours…

I’ve come to accept this as true from making that mistake a few times. I just don’t understand it, though. People really seem to hate it.

He looks like he’s aged 10 years since the war

This is it. How to do bring super powers to a group of nations and tell them they’ll have the same voice as tiny countries. Why would they bother showing up?

The world has changed since then, though. I dont think it makes much sense anymore to have France and the UK as permanent members though. Even Russia has shown itself to be more of a minnow than we thought…

Especially given the fact that France tried talking Russia out of invading before the war and they still went ahead with it. So it’s not like the security council sat around and watched it happen.

Memory is not storage, so you would need to be logging what’s in memory, I guess. Not impossible, but also not trivial either.

Honestly I’m not sure how it could be done, but I’m sure it’s possible

Chat apps are only part of it. It will force iOS and android to offer competing app market too.

The bridges need to decrypt your messages before encrypting them again to send them to you. This is done in memory, so it’s not impossible for your messages to be read by beeper, but quite difficult.

That said, self hosting will always be a safer option. It’s just not for everyone

The EU is forcing the big chat companies to open their gates. They have until April of next year to comply, so we might see a common protocol for chat pretty soon
