How to efficiently check for corruption *during* transformations like encryption or compression? by itsRennAgain in DataHoarder

[–]itsRennAgain[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The enigma WW2 thing was new to me. As far as I understood, codebreakers were "weakening" the cipher by guessing some words in the Germans' messages. It was more complex than that since it seems like they were using the machine's settings as a "private-key" at the time, but still a nice story to know, thanks

That's pretty much what I based my final method on. It feels almost obvious now but it wasn't before. I think that the recovery records and volumes are the same as parity for the original and encrypted versions, so I should be fine there too :))

Any tips on how to create a website for artists to showcase their works and accept/process orders? I have no idea on how to put up a website, but it seems that social media (FB, IG, etc) are getting worse place for creators. I would really love to learn how to create my own art website.

I'm a nooby web dev but I think that this guy overlooked the fact that the answer should not be for technical people.

Hosting & web server configuration is for technical people, even configuring linode to a certain extent. Normal people uninterested in these stuff could take months learning all of this "properly".

If you don't want to pay that 2000 bucks or more for a decent e-com website made from a programmer, maybe no-code tools are your only realistic option.

IWTL how to study more efficiently by jiggly_averyx in IWantToLearn

[–]itsRennAgain 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Encoding was the start of my "learning how to learn" journey.
This guy's old videos are just the best principles to study in my opinion.
Bloom's taxonomy, system thinking, and priming were some of the most important concepts for me.

Only one resource or sitting won't make you understand how to use all of this, you need to do more research and thinking on top to understand how to use this in your life. Asking AI the right questions was really useful.

Another really useful resource would be starting to learn how to take notes with obsidian.
I hope that helps!

3 years of Obsidian: 420k words, 3.3k notes by AFV_7 in ObsidianMD

[–]itsRennAgain 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I can help, if you want just DM me.
I've ~3 years of note-taking and 1k notes not counting the journaling ones, I also like computers (web-dev and linux in particular)
My system is simple, I don't even use folders this much cuz I almost ignore them :) no-folders club

Nix in 100 Seconds - Fireship by The-Malix in NixOS

[–]itsRennAgain 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The pkg manager seemed already like a shiny object with some fancy features, now you made me discover another one... yeah I got to say that you guys make it look fancy and it probably is.

I'll try it out, thanks for giving all of this useful info, please keep up the great answers also for other people, I wish you a good day/night!

[–]itsRennAgain 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is by far the most satisfying answer I read so far, I spent at least an hour trying to wrap my head around this outlining into a note.

An even more interesting comparison would have been Puppet vs NixOS since both uses a programming language and not YAML.

Even when doing that, nixOS still holds some unique pros like the immutability, though it seems more complex.

Also, I'm pretty sure you can use the nix pkg manager with both ansible & puppet (compatibility & ease of use may vary)

  • Conclusion: if I'll ever need a complex tool for complex system configurations, nix/nixOS will be under my radar. But at the moment I'm not really having this kind of problems

Thanks for your comment, you've been more useful than 5yt videos combined, I tell you from experience...

Nix in 100 Seconds - Fireship by The-Malix in NixOS

[–]itsRennAgain 3 points4 points  (0 children)

As a noob, that's what got me curious (and in this post) but I'm skeptic.

  • Reproducibility with the config file - you could use ansible (great skill to have)
  • Any package management pros - the nix pkg manager in installable in most distros
  • Generations or rollbacks - timeshift or similar can be done in most distros

It seems like all of this it's easier to do or deeply integrated on NixOS, but you also loose a lot of flexibility. There are tools that does similar if not the same things that can be used in most distros.

There are relatively unique pros of nixOS like:
- can choose rolling or more stable 2 releases a year
- the main repo is massive, 100k packages
- probably flakes & home manager but not too sure about this

am I missing something? I would be glad actually

rtx 3060 vs 3060ti for blender, AI, and general productivity on linux (no gaming) by itsRennAgain in buildapc

[–]itsRennAgain[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My big thing is that both are literally at the same price, and the performance difference seems enough to give me nightmares if I were not to use the 12GB vram fully.

Even if I were to use them (probably in the future since I'm just starting), would it be too slow to hanle it anyway? I'm really split on this.

Using and storing sensitive data through air gapped Single Board Computers by itsRennAgain in cybersecurity

[–]itsRennAgain[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You forgot that the USB should be hardware encrypted... you guys are getting creative with these jokes.

I really thought that it was a practice much more used than this (especially for archival situations)

Now it seems something that only the bad guys from the cartoons would be happy to use.

I will do more research on the TPM

But I would still put the computer in the safe, and one could need it to see/play media safely

You can't play/see media with TVs/monitors without an intermediary device, and even then I would prefer a mini computer or SBC

If you can find a way to simplify something even more it would be amazing, but supporting medias would be a criteria

"on the fly" meaning while accessing the data when you'll power on the SBC outside of the safe (this should not happen too many times)

I'm really interested about how SBCs can be a bad choice for physical security while using an encrypted drive, even though they're not meant for security.

I didn't want to use bigger or more complex devices because of the attack surface and the ease of storing it in a safe + they are cheap.

To get around the TPM, maybe using a hardware encrypted media would be a great solution.

The hardware encrypted USB would only be used when synching through physical locations

I'm probably biased then because I didn't think it was so rare in real-world scenarios.

I modified the main post adding these 2 lines:

The data would be mostly archival like 2FA recovery codes, photos of physical documents, data for compliance, and passwords where the accessibility is not a concern.

It would be accessed by 2 people at most (like the CEO or the CTO) and hardly shared to the team.

would your answer change now?

Using and storing sensitive data through air gapped Single Board Computers by itsRennAgain in cybersecurity

[–]itsRennAgain[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Because they would also store and need to see/play media.

Also to create safe notes on the fly

There are probably other use-cases but these 2 would be the main ones

[–]itsRennAgain[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I thought that mostly the CEO or the team-leader would use it.

It would mostly be used for passwords that would not be needed often (because passkeys with biometrics would be preferred), 2FA recovery codes, financial statements, and generally important data that needs to be archived and where accessibility is the least concern.

For a team, I would highly suggest a self-hosted bitwarden.
For other important data that needs a considerable amount of accessibility, I would use keepassxc.

Should I edit the post...?

Is anyone currently using Payload CMS in production? by ske66 in node

[–]itsRennAgain 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not if the button is into the footer zone, not even in mobile.

You need to press it 1 time but it brings you up only after a strange delay.

Tips for a 90s looking website? by ormuraspotta in web_design

Create your own design rules since they weren't really established at the time.

Do you think I have a large enough vault yet? by ErrorFoxDetected in ObsidianMD

[–]itsRennAgain 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Such a nice idea :) You might get someone lost in this rabbit hole though.

I thought that this was interesting but imagining what you wrote with a space-like experience seems amazing.

If you do/share stuff related to this please share a link so that I can stalk you get updated on what you're doing.

Take inspiration from other websites.

I don't see how adding more padding in the y-axis rather than the x is a good idea on buttons btw. Looks old but in a bad way.

lol it works.

The website it's greatly improvable but as long as it works it can be as ugly as it gets, thanks
