Just like it was yesterday: this article is garbage. Toms didn't even read the paper they're incorrectly 'quoting'.

But, what does that actually achieve besides limiting Canada's ability to, for example, seize assets? TikTok, being a digital platform, isn't very dependent on regional presence; it's not like you've gotta head to their offices to post/view content.

If TikTok/ByteDance isn't complying with Canadian laws/standards, Canada no longer has leverage to influence change.

How does this actually 'harm' TikTok and/or protect Canadians?

The article writer's didn't even read the paper they are reporting...

This is power-over-skin. Ie: power transmitted from one device to another via human skin. It's not harvesting or generating energy from the human body.

The research paper, published by Andy Kong, Daehwa Kim, and Chris Harrison from Carnegie Mellon University, notes that the human body is particularly efficient at generating 40 MHz RF energy.

No. It doesn't. At all....

Page 1 of the research paper PDF:

We call our technique Power-over-Skin Prior work has found that the human body is particularly efficient at conducting 40 MHz RF, while largely confining transmitted power to the body

Seems it's a re-write of this article from Monday, leaving out the transmitter part.

(their source from 3 weeks ago) https://youtu.be/5PEN04-jyCU?si=JzzeLW6KalDKxOss

Power isn't harvested from the human body it's transmitted (in really small amounts) across the body from one device to another, using capacitive coupling and 40MHz AC voltage.

[...] the Government of Canada has ordered the wind up of the Canadian business carried on by TikTok Technology Canada, Inc. The government is taking action to address the specific national security risks related to ByteDance Ltd.’s operations in Canada through the establishment of TikTok Technology Canada, Inc. [...]

[...] The government is not blocking Canadians’ access to the TikTok application or their ability to create content. The decision to use a social media application or platform is a personal choice. [...]

Sooo, what's the goal here? How does this help, or effect, Canadians?

Do you perhaps have a non-English system language?

Radarr has settings in each quality profile to select a release language, but Sonarr does not... Wondering if it's tied to system language instead.

I do not see this issue: titles search in English only. (including the example series 'The Penguin')

It is a Linux tool unfortunately :/

You could use it to clone the windows disc/partition from a Linux machine/live usb, try out your de-bloating process, and restore again via a Linux machine/live usb if needed.

This was their stance 2 months ago:

https://www.windowscentral.com/software-apps/windows-11/turns-out-you-wont-be-able-to-uninstall-windows-11s-recall-feature-after-all

I don't think that would have changed if not for the backlash Microsoft has received for it.

Now, supposedly it's optional and off by default, but that could change again anytime...

Add a clause to the contract between Steam and the developer requiring the dev to reimburse Steam for refunds due to post-sale changes (ie, from that specific 'accept, decline, refund' option). If the dev doesn't pay the bill, Steam can use the breach of contract as leverage.

If you selfhost paperless-ngx, there are option to add email accounts and regularly import emails+their attachments like any other document. You can then have it delete imported mail from the mail server, or just move/mark it so you can deal with that manually.

It doesn't currently support OAuth2 for providers like Microsoft, so you've gotta use App Passwords with Gmail for now, but there is a fix in the pipeline to add OAuth2 support soon. (there's also other methods you can use to get that part working right now)

 

In the last couple of weeks, I've started getting this error ~1/5 times when I try to open one of my own locally hosted services.

I've never used ECH, and have always explicitly restricted nginx to TLS1.2 which doesn't support it. Why am I suddenly getting this, why is it randomly erroring, then working just fine again 2min later, and how can I prevent it altogether? Is anyone else experiencing this?

I'm primarily noticing it with Ombi. I'm also mainly using Chrome Android for this. But, checking just now; DuckDuckGo loads the page just fine everytime, and Firefox is flat out refusing to load it at all.

Firefox refuses to show the cert it claims is invalid, and 'accept and continue' just re-loads this error page. Chrome will show the cert; and it's the correct, valid cert from LE.

There's 20+ services going through the same nginx proxy, all using the same wildcard cert and identical ssl configurations; but Ombi is the only one suddenly giving me this issue regularly.

The vast majority of my services are accessed via lan/vpn; I don't need or want ECH, though I'd like to keep a basic https setup at least.

Solution: replace local A/AAAA records with a CNAME record pointing to a local only domain with its own local A/AAAA records. See below comments for clarification.

 

I've been using paperless-ngx to consume mail from outlook/hotmail for a while now, but recently had the mail server refuse connections while mail was being processed. (Not sure why, consuming is working now with no changes and no errors besides 'connection refused', while retrieving that mail. Temporary outage I guess?)

This left me with a couple pieces of mail not imported. However, now everytime the mail consume task runs, it recognizes that those pieces of mail are there but refuses to process them with the message:

Skipping mail '421' '<email subject>' from '<sender email>', already processed.

How can I get it to recognize those mails HAVE NOT been processed?

Aug 13 (Reuters) - General Motors (GM.N), has been sued by the state of Texas, which accused the automaker of installing technology on more than 14 million vehicles to collect data about drivers, which it then sold to insurers and other companies without drivers' consent.

I've noticed with the last 2-3 versions of the app (currently 0.0.69, nice); the app crashes 2/3rds of the time when returning to it from being in the background.

Open the app, switch to another app, switch back a couple min later and it closes then reopens as if you'd just started it for the first time today (losing whatever post you had open).

Curious if others are experiencing this?

Android 14, One UI 6.1

 

All ~~roads~~ videos lead here:

Honestly I'm surprised it took this long. The only other issue I've ever seen (between revanced and the original vanced app) is the watch history not saving a couple weeks back.

 

I've started noticing this icon more and more: usually on comments with no downvotes. What's it mean?

 

CPU/GPU/RAM/Disk usage, logs, errors, network usage, overall status, etc

What do you use/prefer?

Mainly looking for self-hosted web based tools, stuff I can view from a browser; but desktop and CLI apps are welcome too :)

 

I have what may be a stupid question...

How is it your master password is both used to decrypt your vault and used to authenticate with bitwardens public servers to acquire a copy of your vault/view it in the web app, but bitwarden can't use that password entry to decrypt the vault themselves?

(please correct me if I'm misunderstanding, as I use self-hosted vaultwarden for my server instead of the public ones)

After almost a year of repeated emails stating the transition from Google Domains will have no effect on customers, no action is required; I just got this email:

Update Dynamic DNS records Hi there, As previously communicated, Squarespace has purchased all domain name registrations and related customer accounts from Google Domains. Customers are in the process of being moved to Squarespace Domains, but before we migrate your domain [redacted] we wanted to inform you that a feature you use, Dynamic DNS (DDNS), will not be supported by Squarespace.

So apparently SquareSpace will be entirely useless to me and I've got "as soon as 30 days" to move.

Got any suggestions for good registrars to migrate to?

(it's a .pw domain if that matters)

/edit. I'm a moron.

I already use cloudflare as my name server, Google/SquareSpace only handles the registration.

I'll be fine. Thanks for the help everyone!

-post won't delete, so redacted instead-

 

I've got docker installed and I've got a single container running (vaultwarden) via the docker pull/docker run commands provided on its Github page. I'm not sure how to learn more about that container or how to build (compose?) others myself.

I'd like to learn how to transition nginx and pihole to containers and network them together. I'd also like to add paperless-ngx to my setup.

(note: I'm very new to Linux in general, mostly rpis, poking around with debian now)

2FA (lemmy.ca)

Does boost support 2 factor auth?

I can't login: If i use the incorrect user+pass I get 'incorrect login' if I use the correct ones I get 'login failed'.

There is no option to enter my required 2fa code...

/edit switched apps then switched back and the 2fa field showed up but refused my code. Force stopped the app and got the same 'login failed' message switched apps again and back; now it shows all fields and finally logged me in correctly.

Seems buggy af.
