How? It's not a MitM or anything like that, it's connecting exactly how an Apple device would connect. Everything is still E2EE, just one of the ends can now be an Android device.

It seems that Starship, the second stage, experienced RUD from the automated FTS at around the time it was expected to shut off its engines.

Edit: RUD is Rapid Unscheduled Disassembly. Basically an explosion. FTS is Flight Termination System, which explodes a rocket if something goes wrong in a potentially dangerous way.

Great answer. People frequently think that Android phones work just like desktops, but they are very different.

Be extremely careful. Plenty of people are really smart and malicious, so you need to isolate it from everything on your network. You're giving random people remote code execution on your local network, which is like the worst case scenario for security.

Correct, but new users don't want to need the command line for something as simple as installing packages.

Dual-boot, and if anything is missing, boot back into Windows to do that while you work on figuring out how to do it on Linux. There might be something to do what you're asking, but I find it unlikely because Windows and Linux are very different internally.

So they figured out that a $130 Thunderbolt 4 100W E-marker cable is better designed than a $10 USB 2 60W cable? I think they should have looked at a cheaper high-end cable, like a 240W Thunderbolt 4 cable, to see how a comparable one compares.

Breaking news: The thing we put in a highly elliptical orbit around the sun is in a highly elliptical orbit around the sun (and hasn't yet reached its perihelion).

Including non-binary people was not the problem. Relevant quote:

"AnitaB.org, the nonprofit that runs the conference, said there was “an increase in participation of self-identifying males” at this year’s event. The nonprofit says it believes allyship from men is important and noted it cannot ban men from attending due to federal nondiscrimination protections in the US."

They identified as male, not non-binary, and the event allowed men to come.

Metal doesn't work with wireless charging. Plastic feels cheaper. Still, many companies are making plastic phones, and I'm sure some are making metal ones as well.

Don't buy HP laptops. They're terrible. Framework is great, and Lenovo and Dell are generally pretty good. Put Linux on it if you care about privacy.

My Matrix server is on Oracle Cloud. At one point, while messing with something on it, I accidentally enabled the firewall for port 22, so I can no longer access it via SSH. I think I also disabled password login, as I cannot log in over Oracle's remote terminal service. Also, the backups had filled up the drive space without me noticing, so it hadn't made backups in six months. Yes, I'm dumb.

At this point, I've given up hope for recovering the data on the server, but I would prefer to keep as much as I can when making a new server. The information online about making a new server on the same domain all involves copying over some data from the old server, so is it possible to keep the domain name when making a new server? It seems that it is not possible to make a new account with the same name on the same domain because it messes with federation, so I will need a new account name. Is that all correct?

My current plan is this:

  • use Matrix migration to transfer my rooms to a temporary account
  • delete the server
  • make a new server with the same domain
  • make an account with a different name on the new server
  • use Matrix migration again to transfer the rooms from the temporary account to the new account

Does this all seem like it would work, and is there a better solution? Thank you for the help.

Edit: What I ended up doing was this:

  1. Upgrade to a paid account (my account was previously free)—this can't be reverted, but you won't get charged if you're always below the limit
  2. Export the boot drive to a bucket
  3. Download the bucket
  4. Extract the downloaded bucket and take whatever data you need from it
  5. Delete the bucket
  6. Replace the boot drive (or create a new server and delete the old one). You may be able to fix the issue then upload the image again, but I just applied the vital details (signing key, primarily, but you can also use the database) to a new image.

I work at a repair shop, and we had a customer come in that said, "I like to click on the ads sometimes. Is that why I keep getting viruses?".
