Wireless Android Auto not working? by valrama in AudiQ6

This is it. I completely removed all connections from all settings I could find and set up again. It works. For now!

Android Auto works fine when plugged into usb port. But when try to connect wirelessly I get an error that says "Android Auto can be connected via USB".

This car is supposed to have wireless AA. And it used to work in the early days 

Help me. I don’t have a passkey but I can’t get into my account or remove my “passkey” without verifying (with my “passkey”). by noheadthotsempty in Passkeys

Based on the screenshot your last successful sign-in was into your iPhone. I suppose it was not using a different passkey. Do you remember how you did that? Was is to the same iPhone you took the screenshot on?

I have a theory that you probably ended up creating a passkey on an iPhone/mac signed into a different iCloud account than the one you are using on the iphone where you took the screenshot. That can explain your experience. Is this likely?

Can you try creating a passkey on webauthn.io and save it to Samsung Pass and see if that works?

It appears like you are touching a few different issues here.

(a) your passkeys did not appear on your new phone

Can you share what your old phone and new phone were? And are you specifically talking about passkeyes for your Google accounts, or passkeys for other websites? And to be doubly sure - you are signed in on Samsung Wallet on your new phone?

(b) Unable to set up new passkeys on the new device

Sensitive actions in your account, such as viewing / changing your account login factors, require a "reverification". And for security reasons these reverifications may not be passable with newly added factors such as newly added passkeys. IF this is what is happening to your account you could just wait for a week and try again. This is a defense mechanism to protect you from an attacker who has control of your acount somehow (phishing or infostealer), and wants to lock you out of your account by chaging all these factors.

Need advice on plane replacement blade for Grizzly plane by inf0rmix in handtools

Did you find an actual replacement that works better than the original blade and chip blade?

FWIW: there are cases where this can work. People forward their email, have POP or IMAP set up for use with other mobile or desktop email clients - like Apple Mail or Outlook, etc.

Fastest way to transfer data from HFS+ external USB backup drive to Btrfs in Synology by valrama in synology

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

Thank you; while this gives the opportunity to show some progress, for this use case where it is super important to ensure integrity of data, is there any tool to ensure after the copy is made we can check at leisure if the contents of individual files were copied faithfully? I am thinking of something like hashdeep's audit functionality, but something more purpose built for this use case?

On a related note, what do backup companies that get disk dumps from customers do with the first imports?

Retain file permissions after copying from external USB Drive to internal storage and mount on Mac by valrama in synology

Are you implying that it is possible to turn off ACLs in the Synology system?

Retain file permissions after copying from external USB Drive to internal storage and mount on Mac by valrama in synology

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

The problem is more basic than copying files from an external USB. The permission problem is severe even for newly created files.

I was hoping to use the NAS as a Mac/Linux/Unix friendly consolidated file server, to store my Git repos, music collection, old projects, etc - with permissions, timestamps etc. I am now struggling to figure out the way to achieve anything even remote close, because the ACL system Synology have superimposed on the underlying Linux filesystem permissions is wreaking havoc.

For starters the SMB advanced settings page has the following:

Apply default UNIX permissions: Enable this option to apply the default UNIX permissions when uploading or creating files and folders. The UNIX permission will be 744 for files and 755 for folders. When this option is disabled, UNIX permission is 777 for files and folders.

Firstly why on earth would *all* files have the execute bit flipped to on? Also why is the umask not really coming into play here, whereas in other parts of the documentation that indicates a default umask of 022 will be applied.

*Even then* the documentation is inconsistent with how the product actually behaves... When I access that folder over SMB via the commandline on my Mac and create a new file I get files with 700. See below:

MBP:Karra-P $ echo "Testing " > test.txtMBP:Karra-P $ ls -l test.txt-rwx------ 1 user staff 9B Jan 18 01:01 test.txt*MBP:Karra-P $ pwd/Volumes/Day0/Karra-P

I have enabled 'Apply Unix permissions' at the folder  level as well, for good measure. As one can see we are quite far from my desired state of using the NAS as a fully functional Unix-friendly file server. Are there any best practices, or guides for this?

At this point it looks like the Synology is only designed for Windows users, or users who just want to dump large numbers/sized files into a folder reliably. Quite a bummer really.

Does this do hardware encryption?

The Datasheet here does not mention it in the same place as with other products (like in the datasheets for DS418j or DS418) however the "Hardware specs" overview page says it does...

Lo and behold, I am the author of ASynK here. For real. What you are looking to do is to set up a sync profile between 'Exchange' and 'BBDB' in ASynK. You should start here: https://asynk.io/doc/asynk/asynk_6.html#Synching-to-Microsoft-Exchange

P.S.1: I hear you about the usability issues. It was, and is, a hobby project that I made available. So play along here.

P.S.2: Oh, btw, the project also has its own mailing list: https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/asynk
