Using GitHub Actions to backup OneDrive to S3
My ideals of using open-source software are fading a bit, and I’ve been using OneDrive to synchronize my files for quite some time now. It’s cheap and works reliable at least. ⌘ Read more
Some iPhones Are Restarting or Turning Off Randomly at Night
Some iPhone users are discovering their iPhone has either randomly rebooted, or turned itself off, usually while plugged in overnight. Perhaps worst of all, when the iPhone starts back up, any set alarm may not go off, which has led some people to oversleep or to have to rely on a backup alarm. While not … Read More ⌘ Read more

An official FBI document dated January 2021, obtained by the American association “Property of People” through the Freedom of Information Act.

This document summarizes the possibilities for legal access to data from nine instant messaging services: iMessage, Line, Signal, Telegram, Threema, Viber, WeChat, WhatsApp and Wickr. For each software, different judicial methods are explored, such as subpoena, search warrant, active collection of communications metadata (“Pen Register”) or connection data retention law (“18 USC§2703”). Here, in essence, is the information the FBI says it can retrieve:
Apple iMessage: basic subscriber data; in the case of an iPhone user, investigators may be able to get their hands on message content if the user uses iCloud to synchronize iMessage messages or to back up data on their phone.
Line: account data (image, username, e-mail address, phone number, Line ID, creation date, usage data, etc.); if the user has not activated end-to-end encryption, investigators can retrieve the texts of exchanges over a seven-day period, but not other data (audio, video, images, location).
Signal: date and time of account creation and date of last connection.
Telegram: IP address and phone number for investigations into confirmed terrorists, otherwise nothing.
Threema: cryptographic fingerprint of phone number and e-mail address, push service tokens if used, public key, account creation date, last connection date.
Viber: account data and IP address used to create the account; investigators can also access message history (date, time, source, destination).
WeChat: basic data such as name, phone number, e-mail and IP address, but only for non-Chinese users.
WhatsApp: the targeted person’s basic data, address book and contacts who have the targeted person in their address book; it is possible to collect message metadata in real time (“Pen Register”); message content can be retrieved via iCloud backups.
Wickr: Date and time of account creation, types of terminal on which the application is installed, date of last connection, number of messages exchanged, external identifiers associated with the account (e-mail addresses, telephone numbers), avatar image, data linked to adding or deleting.
TL;DR Signal is the messaging system that provides the least information to investigators.
@movq@www.uninformativ.de I clone the important stuff on two separate clusters, but both are in my house. One of these days I’m planning to ask my brother to put a server of mine in his house, and then we can cross-clone for offsite backups that don’t require the cloud.

I accidentally wiped out my bookmarks file this afternoon. Syncthing propagated the change, and I was forced to restore from an old partial backup. Lesson learned: versioning is useful.

Isode: Successfully Managing HF Radio Networks
With the potential for new technologies to cause interference to traditional communications networks and even space itself at the risk of becoming weaponised, it is important to make sure that you always have a backup plan for your communications ready and waiting.
Should the worst happen and your primary network, typically SatCom, go down you need to ensure that you can still communicate with your forces wherever they are, and that c … ⌘ Read more
@movq@www.uninformativ.de My workflow is as follows.
I hit “reply” hotkey and my editor comes up.
With or without writing something I close my editor without saving the content.
Of course I close it by C-x C-c, not by :q! ;-)
Jenny finds the temp file unchanged, e.g. it’s content is the same as it was when my editor was started. I would like that jenny discards the reply then.
Autosaving is no problem either. Real editors do this to a temporary (kind of backup) file. Only in case of a crash that file is consulted and the user is asked if she would like to continue with that stored content.
My home and code server now has 2 TB of SSD storage and 16 GB of RAM. While I’ll be using the storage for backups, etc., I’m not quite sure what I can use the 16 GB of RAM for yet. What else can I run besides Home Assistant, AdGuard Home, Drone and Tailscale? I still have my VPS running my websites, Miniflux, Bitwarden, Firefox Sync Server, RSS-Bridge, Firefly III, Nitter and Gitea. 🤔 ⌘ Read more

Somehow, http://www.lord-enki.net/medium-backup/2016-09-01_A-Qualified-Defense-of-Jargon—Other-In-Group-Signifiers-2fe2cd37b66b.html is getting a lot of hate. I thought it was pretty even-handed. Do people dislike it because I said culture fit should only matter when it impacts effectiveness, or that it’s useful at all?
