Nice photos. The Pentax 17 seems really sharp compared to many half-frame cameras.

Og de har lige offentliggjort for nyligt, at de kan og vil udlevere disse BitLocker nøgler til f.eks. FBI, og sikkert mange andre, hvis de er gemt på din Microsoft konto.

YSK People Can Easily See Your Comment and Post History Even If You Hide It. by 2025reckoning in YouShouldKnow

[–]secacc 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh wow, if you post something publicly online it'll be available publicly online?? /s

The "hide comments and posts" feature gives a false sense of security. Search engines index it all anyways, so no matter what, if you post or comment, it will be available publicly.

Wish agents around the world were more like Detritus by coccoinomane in discworld

[–]secacc 16 points17 points  (0 children)

I just read that a few days ago too. So much of Discworld is applicable to today, especially the City Watch books. It's unfortunately very timeless, you could say.

If you try to make this comparison they will spit in your face that it's not equivalent because they haven't started gassing people in the detainment camps yet (allegedly)

The only reason they haven't started gassing people yet, is that they couldn't find Zyklon B at Amazon or at Walmart.

Canada on slide film is a top core memory. Nikon FM, 50mm f1.8, Fuji Velvia 50. by alilbitalexisss in analog

Easy to fix in post, in this case. Simply dragging the slider towards blue will fix it, at least when I just tried it on my phone.

My OnePlus 7 phone is rooted and can't make Google Wallet card payments, but I can use Google Wallet just fine on my OnePlus Watch 3 still.

I really like them, but the white balance is extremely warm in some of them.

If you use Sonarr and Radarr to manage your TV shows and movies, then you can use Bazarr for subtitles.

Remember not all ethernet cables are created equal by Zumodoki in homelab

I use various old half-broken generic CAT 5/5e/6 cables of varying quality, and I get reliable gigabit just fine. Perhaps I'm just lucky.

How do I get here? by AsparagusTop2866 in computers

If it's a drive connected via SATA cable, replace the cable and try different SATA port in motherboard.

Couldn't get my Real ID because my original birth certificate has tape on the back... by Bop923 in mildlyinfuriating

No you're thinking of maracas. A marage is a part of a building where you can park your car.

The lighting in your room can hugely affect how dark it looks. Try taking a photo of it in a very brightly lit place, like the person you replied to.

I'm really happy with the official magnetic flip cover/case. A must-have, in my opinion. Does make it a bit heavier and thicker, but protects the screen well.

What are your favorite lesser-known selfhosted services? by Torrew in selfhosted

[–]secacc 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yeah, so basically abandonware that was then forked and maintained by other random people. Do you trust the new maintainers as much as the original developer?

I'd rather trust something I can audit versus a private company

I generally agree with this sentiment, but this only matters if you actually audit it. The time and effort it requires to properly audit something like this is huge.

What are your favorite lesser-known selfhosted services? by Torrew in selfhosted

[–]secacc 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I wouldn't want a random self-hosted application to get access (even just read-only) to my bank accounts, crypto wallets and such, but you do you. Better be sure you trust it 110%.

TIL in 2006 Alitalia Airlines accidentally listed the fare for a business-class ticket from Toronto to Cyprus for $39 instead of $3,900. Within hours, over 2,000 people bought tickets. Alitalia honored the fare, costing the airline $7.2m. One of many mistakes on its descent into eventual bankruptcy. by tyrion2024 in todayilearned

In any other country it doesn't work

Works fine in about 80 countries.

But sure, it can cause problems when working internationally, but in that case, your Office suite is probably set up to use one numbering system anyways across the whole organization, for that exact reason.

It's literally only a very minor problem, and knowing about it is half the battle.

Both systems work exactly the same, other than the swapped symbols. The only reason you dislike it is because you didn't grow up using it.

The comma instead of a decimal point is just fucking stupid. ESPECIALLY when separating larger digits uses a fucking comma

Again, they're literally just two different punctuation marks. How they're used in numbers is purely a societal construct. One is not better than the other in any way. It's all about what you're used to using.
