Yeah with lossy compression the future is today!

Easy, just replace each byte of data with multiple bytes of metadata. I see no problem here

Those huge trucks are also not save in any crash. At least for the other person.

Any crash involving an “american sized” car will be worse than two of these small trucks coliding

But you dont what the code of the assembly-style centered div in your codebase. Because nobody will be able to read it and understand what it even does. There are abstraction specific ways to solve problems and the right way to do something in assembly is not the right way to do it in CSS.

And Guam. And American Samoa. And US virgin islands. And mariana Islands.

Decryption is not related to root permission.

If the ENCRYPTED drive is mounted to the container, then the container can decrypt it.

If the DECRYPTED drive is mounted to the container, then the container never knows it was encrypted in the first place.

Second case is easier BTW. Just mount the drive on your host, type in the encryption password and you get a new, unencrypted drive. Specify this new drive in your docker compose/docker file.

Generally, Linux Servers are best administered from a command line. At least in the beginning to set everything up. In turn they are faster on lower hardware as they dont even have a graphical desktop at all so need less resources. You could of course install a windows server OS. They can be fully administered through Remote Desktop and a GUI.

There are multiple projects to make self hosting more accessible (like casaOS). They automate many steps of the setup and then offer you a webUI for further steps. Maybe have a look here https://github.com/awesome-selfhosted/awesome-selfhosted?tab=readme-ov-file#self-hosting-solutions

Everything should be encrypted, always. We live in a time where hardware for en/decrypting is so fast and cheap that they can be included in any device. If you send somethig through a it should be encrypted. If you send something over the air, it has even more reason to be encrypted. I see no scenario where it should not be.

HOWEVER! For law enforcement and other official governmental agencies I think all communication should have to be recorded. And failure to do so should have very high penalties. Transparency should happen after, not during the communication.

Off topic, but how do you do that on Lemmy? In jerboa there is no option (that I know off) to browse another instance. Do you open your home instance in one browser tab and the one you want to explore in another and once you find a community you like you switch to the other tab and subscribe to it there?

If your messager can’t be used on a computer I feel sorry for you. Signal, Whatsapp, Telegram all have windows or browser clients

If you want to calculate the cipher on paper everything that works on binary will be a huge overhead and basically require you to write stuff down for the calculations. So you need to burn sheets of paper for every en/decryption. So no XOR or anything.

I would go for a stream-caesar-cipher. Find a mathematical formula that you can calculate in your head and that gives you a numbers between 1-35 (or something similar depending on how many different characters you need). The formula must be pseudo random so f(x)=5, f(x+1)=1, f(x+2)=28, … and not loop for a looooong time. Calculate a new value FOR EVERY LETTER OF YOUR TEXT!!! and use that as your Caesar cipher for that letter only (x is the position of the character in the text)

You need to keep track which letter in your cipher text was encoded with which x (write the x of the first letter of each page down) and keep the formula a secret. Never ever under any circumstance reuse an x. So you need to keep x going for every page/message and can’t restart at 1 each time.

If x becomes to large and the calculations to complicated, its better to change the formula than to restart x. Never ever ever ever reuse the same cipher because then you get all the drawbacks of Caesar ciphers (probability of letters, length of words (position of the space character) etc).

The system where someone monopolizes a essential good and leverages that to gain power is called anarcho-capitalism and is a whole different thing. In anarchy, ownership on that level does not exist. Neither a company nor a person can own a factory, or a farm, or the power grid. Employment doesn’t exist. People can band together and distribute tasks for a common goal (such as producing a certain good) but they all hold equal stake in all decisions.

Of course a group of people could use violence to oppress other people. But then you no longer have anarchy. The same way a democracy stops beeing a democracy once a group seizes power and doesn’t allow fair elections anymore.

AMD is no problem. Only nvidea (of the big mainstream hardware manufacturers) does not supply Linux drivers.

In fact AMD will most likely make it easier than Intel if something doesn’t work. Intel pretty mutch only thinks about Winows, so if there are driver problems, there are only windows drivers to download on their website (but there shouldn’t be an problems in the first place anyway)

It becomes a whole different thing when you yourself are a creator of any kind. Sure you can retorrent TBs of movies. But you can’t retake that video from 3 years ago. I have about 2 TB of photos I took. I classify that as media.

Might be a minimum of 16 chars. Or the parsing is broken and treats the ’ as the end of the password

Interesting, I’ll look into this.

Europe is a lot warmer than it should be because of the gulf stream that brings warm water from the equator. If you look at the same latitute in north america/Asia the climate will be a lot cooler there.

South america on the other hand is cooler than it should be simply by latitude because of the humbold current and the Antarctic ocean.

So you are comparing the warmest point with the coldest one at the same latitude (mirrored on the southern hemisphere)

That is true for any fandom. Why is being a fan if flavour x software bad but being a fan of flavour x car or flavour x sports team is OK?

I feel like inheritance is more something that keeps the rich rich and not something that makes the poor not poor. In a sense, other people inheriting things is (a part of) what keeps poor families poor.

Perfect, let’s also bind the certificate to a user session that is derived from a user fingerprint. That way the CA can track users across all sites
