Virtual Insanity

Have had this issue myself asking with other DD card related issues.

I can’t understand why the pi foundation persist with using SD as the only physically practical storage option.

They’re looking post the point of needing a way to snap on reliable EMMC storage, as a default, in a way that doesn’t leave a cable or something permanently plugged into a USB port.

Sure, USB is a fine option, but I hate that it’s only an option and not a designed default.

Most of us only need 8GB or so for the OS, 8GB or good quality durable EMMC should hardly cost anything.

Other tiny computers and even economy notebooks and Chromebooks already use this.

Home ownership is 2024

I’d disagree with this.

VPS is opposed to a dedicated server, and actually is a kind of shared hosting because as a VPS user you a allocated a ‘share’ of resources on a machine where others also have a ‘share’ of resources.

Shared housing more typically refers to simpler web hosting where multiple users have their website servers from shared hardware.

Run? WTF you on about? Dead men can’t run and no one is surviving that dish.

Do not search for this.

Glass is glass, and glass breaks.

Sounds like she’s rarely out never noticed you use it either… Which makes it interesting both because of the uncommon UI and workflow, and she has not had regular observations to learn from.

For those of us that have operated both it’s a non issue.

But think of how you’d go about it with zero knowledge. I bet most would try dialling the number without lifting the receiver.

Cats are great pets and companions.

Can it make phone calls?

I hear there are cases where people need TPM, but I don’t, and switching it off is a great way to avoid this crap.

raiding it’s territory and kills and kidnaps a number of it’s citizen.

As Israel has done to Palistinians already for years?

But that just gets swept under the carpet when Israel does it.

Israels actions standing over the Palestine should have had them classed as terrorists long ago.

Hamas is no better though, leaving 2 terrorist organisations fighting while innocents suffer.

Nope. While WiFi has fancy claims you’re not going to get any more than around 1200mbps at 20 metres on the best day with the best gear.

While with cat6 you’ll probably do 2.5gbps to 100m no problem, and even 10gbps. Even cat5e will do those speeds at certain distances.

There is a fundamental misunderstanding here.

Our data has never been ‘invisible’… We’ve just trusted that places like Reddit and their staff will do the right thing. That’s literally how it already works.

If you sign up for Reddit, Reddit staff can see your posts and votes if they want to.

If you sign up for a private forum the admin there can also see database contents.

One way encryption is not possible without stopping functionality… If data about you was encrypted then posts you make couldn’t be displayed. If you include a means to decrypt then there was no point encrypting anyway.

This is how it’s always been, and Lemmy doesn’t change this status quo much.

A faceless corporation that has had access to your data is just replaced by a variety of admins distributed across instances.

This isn’t a good or bad thing, the potential for abuse does exist, but when we have literally made agreements with places like Reddit that they can use and sell our data… then what difference does it make it an admin takes a peek?

It wouldn’t be great… but nothing is perfect.

It’s still worth working on however, to see if a better solution can be found, but at this time I’d say just be aware that it is possible that your data can be seen and understand the only safeguard against that if you need to communicate something private would be to use direct messaging with end to end encryption.
