Neat, I did already transfer my budgeting to GNUCash a few months ago, but this looks shiny too.

Pitched in 100 words! Definitely some open source swiping keyboard gesture databases would be helpful for everyone.

Well, as you may be aware, banks like getting money.

Taking money from their customers through banking fees and interest on both deposits and loans isn’t enough for the banks and credit card issuers. So they sell credit card and loan usage information to whoever will pay for it, and these credit monitoring companies will, to keep a file on you (tied to your SSN/SIN). They know how many loan accounts and how long you’ve had them for, how often you pay your loan bill on time vs. not, what % of your credit limit you tend to use each month, and when you go shopping for new loans (since loan agencies will request your file from them to determine whether you are trustworthy enough).

It’s a useful tool, but there is a security concern for anything not fully open source. You will have to weigh your risk factors, I doubt that it’s any problem for most consumers or distro hoppers.

Best to keep an eye in case any new contributers arrive suddenly…

If I wear boots, sneakers, sandals, hiking shoes sometimes I wonder if it will be enough to throw it off? How distinctly will it be able to tell from millions of gait patterns? Sure it may work foolproof for a set of 100 even intentionally trying to vary things, but how similar will the gait of Roberto Ramirez be to himself the next week or to the hundreds of thousands of people going past an area over a year?

New Outlook is a pile of shit compared to the desktop Outlook app. It’s been causing a lot of headaches for my coworkers. Microsoft had better port near every single feature over to the newapp before they force everyone on it.

In Canada, external hard drives of 8-20TB capacity show up every now and then for a rate of C$20/TB (US$14.50) so it won’t take more than 3 months to offset that cost. As a backup, online s3 storage might be reasonable.

Right now I just play with things at a level that I don’t care if they pop out of existence tomorrow.

If you want to be truly safe (at an individual level, not an institutional level where there’s someone with an interest in fucking your stuff up), you need to make sure things are recoverable unless 3 completely separate things go wrong at the same time (an outage at a remote data centre, your server fails and your local backup fails). Very unlikely for all 3 to happen simultaneously, but 1 is likely to fail and 2 is forseeable, so you can fix it before the 3rd also fails.

No one person/company/entity can know everything about me.

Well, they could, but the price would be high and I suppose I’d end up dating someone who went through that level of effort to know me anyway. :P

Security by Obscurity = FBI backdoor, almost guaranteed.

This picture of rms comes to mind whenever I or someone evangelizes Linux in a Windows thread:

Woohoo! Always great to read a success story!

Related note: If there was an alternative to Yahoo’s Chiebukuro (Bag of wisdom, a Japanese general q&a forum) in the Fediverse, I’d betcha it would catch on.

Louis Rossman affiliated group FUTO is pitching in to support development of Immich which hopefully will iron out bugs it currently may have.

Ye

Maybe the person means prepaid debit cards.

I hope someone can help you with this. Maybe you need to make a post disguised as a tutorial, setting it up incorrectly and have someone correct you :P

Yeah. Hopefully this grant can give Immich the TLC it needs to address its current shortcomings.

Louis discusses his experience with Nextcloud in the first portion of the video.

For him, Nextcloud’s gallery app runs much slower than Immich. The Nextcloud app only supports proxy image previews but no proxy video previews, which Immich does.
