  • Thats the only (sane without tons of work) way how you can have a rolling release distro without the need to compile everything yourself, everytime. Dependency issues will occure when glibc gets updated (or any other library) and you only update some programms but not all, its possible that those programms work or not.



  • So, when you activate simple versioning, and keep the last 20 Versions, then an error occurs (or malicious actor) and overrides the file 20 times. Then the simple versioning is gone.

    Yes with the correct setup you could probably backup via syncthing BUT no one in the comments ellaboborated and mostly just says “i sync to multiple devices via syncthing”


  • I am shocked how many ppl think synchronization like syncthing act as a backup.

    No synchronisation is not a backup. If you accidentally delete the database and it syncs across all devices then the database is gone. If something is broken and overrides multiple times then the history if it is enabled is also gone.

    Pls use proper backup methods to backup your database.

    Edit: I sync my database also with syncthing across devices. But to back it up i have on multiple clients system backups running that include the database.





  • LUKS may not make your server meaningfully more secure. Anyone who can snapshot your server while it’s running or modify your unencrypted kernel or initrd files before you next unlock the server will be able to access your files.

    This is a little oversimplified. Hardware vendors have done a lot of work in the last 10-20 years to make it hard to impossible to obtain data this way. AMD-SEV for example.

    There are other more realistic attacks like simply etrackt the ssh server signature and MITM the ssh connection and extract the LUKS password.







  • Have you been on social media? A lot of ppl acting up participating in racism, transphobia, hate speech etc. do not give a shit about protecting their identity. If the real name is not already on their profile, then their post makes them easily identifiable.

    Also, there are enough laws out there that force social media providers to give out information about the users who do illegal stuff online. That would make almost everyone identifiable.

    The reality is that law enforcment gives a shit about doing their job. And Social Media providers give a shit about actively protect users of those points, even tho they are obliged to in many jurisdictions.
