I’m a “John Smith IV”. My son, due in September, will be a “John Smith V”

…gracefully ignoring these 34,000 other John Smithes everywhere in the neighborhood, who all came rightfully in between, but nobody knows how to write (or read) 34,004 in Roman Numerals 😂

I run my own NAS and Nextcloud server. Most of the data on my phone is synced there.

So I am somewhat prepared for the loss of my phone, but not really for the possibility of someone else using it (accounts etc).

The proverbial “two hearts in one chest” indicate a split mind, and create much pain.

It won’t do no good. The two would work against each other.

Not only in the holistic meaning, also from a strictly materialistical / technical point of view, there is no way to make them work synchronized. It is the very nature of the heart to determine it’s own rhythm.

Know your enemy:

1. Dictionary attacks
2. Leaked passwords
3. Password guessing attacks

Your “system” is good against 1. but vulnerable against 2., and a bit vulnerable against 3. because of the system.

The older you get, the less an age difference is really an issue.

Have you ever heard a 95 yo talking about 80 year olds? ;-)

What was her judgement to this question?

LOL

Besides ansible, also have a look at “templates” and “cloud-init” for VM generation.

I don’t think you can rent botnets with some ready to use software to simulate web scraping or generate fake comments

Just look how half of the “reviews” on Amazon are fake already.

Oh yes, someone has paid for them, and there’s a well established industry at work.

It is not only computers that have openings.

Buy some very fine wire mesh and cover the openings with it. Like, 2mm squares or so.

(I don’t really have that problem. But if I had it, I would)

The biggest issue is that the app and recommendation algorithm isn’t going to be useful with 20 songs.

They are not testing for usefulness.

If your basic logic runs with 5 songs, then give them 5, not 20.

Nextcloud…

I don’t believe this is illegal as I’m targeting myself for education.

Difficult to know, and ofc depends a lot where you are. Better ask a lawyer.

Did you see the Documentation section in the README.md?

Yes, that’s why I’m asking.

How to use this thing?

different devices, some running locked Windows

That unforgettable moment, when you stand before that machine where you should be able to self-manage that value-card for some prepaid money for some special purpose, and that machine shows you nothing but a good old bluescreen, and it is a bluescreen from a 15 year old Windows…

42 is the max.

Mifrosoft now requires TPM on windows 11,

…and it is a preparation step for even mightier lockdown scenarios than smartphones.

For your best, of course /s

could they make “Secure Boot” mandatory for windows 12? (Thereby preventing a linux install)

They have tried it in win11 already.
