What I mean by “lower level” is that it has less abstractions built in

Systemd abstracts so much stuff away that it does not feel like learning Linux “from scratch” :/

(I like having it in my daily driver, but it’s sad LFS had to drop support for a “lower level” init system)

MAC addresses are only visible on a LAN

This is neat. I’ve intercepted trafic from a few apps in the past, and whenever cert pinning was enabled it was a massive pain to deal with

Blocking or allowing domains should not mess up SSL. Is there anything else filtering or intercepting the trafic ?

This would have been a (if not the only) good point to make in the article considering the title. But I guess this would have taken space away from ads

The headline is vert clickbaity : it does not affect VPN users (the law forbids age-gated websites from promoting VPNs as a circumvention), and the whole article is just an ad for VPNs

I once had a similar issue, caused by the keyboard layout in the os installer (when I defined the password) being different from the keyboard layout used for unlocking the drive. I quickly leaned to type my password in qwerty on my azerty keyboard and all is fine now.

Another similar thing I’m thinking about is trying with caps lock, as you may have had it on when defining the password

I had one such case recently, turned out it was due to a faulty SATA (data) cable. Once you find which drive is clicking, try plugging it with a new cable before declaring it dead.

dmesg output may contain some useful error messages. If you find errors related to I/O, block devices, SCSI or SATA, you should include them in your post

Someone registering the domain would be able to receive any email sent to any address under this domain, including password resets.

There is no such software (that works kind of reliably). I’d love to be proven wrong, but I’ve looked into it enough that I’m quite confident it does not exist

There are a few things I don’t like about this scoring system :

• Why is there a “Top Provider Content Share” metric if its gonna score the same as the “Top Provider User Share” every time ?
• Why is the Top Provider Content Share not higher than the user share ? For instance, emails usually have at least one sender and one recipient, making it twice as likely that at least one of them is using gmail. If an email has 10 recipients across 10 different providers, each provider has a copy of the data
• Why is ease of hosting a mail server rated so well ? How is “leveraging email hosting services” decentralized in any way ?
• Why are we using a random repo created a few hours ago by a random github user as a reference ?

Self hosting emails is a pain, but I’ve been doing it for almost 2 years and I do not have any of these issues. I’m not an expert either, I just thoroughly followed a tutorial to properly configure dmarc, dkim and everything else and everything just works (I just hope I’m not jinxing it by writing this :D )

Alternatively, if your databases are on a filesystem that supports snapshots (LVM, btrfs or ZFS for instance), you can make a snapshot of the filesystem, mount the snapshot and backup thame database from it. This will ensure the backup is consistent with itself (the backed up directory was not written to between the beginning and the end of the backup)

It seems really nice. Too bad it’s not a real product yet (the kick starter hasn’t even launched)

Enabling multi DC redundancy is really easy though. The other providers you mentioned may have it by default, but they’re also a lot more expensive.

I love that they let me pick my own redundancy strategy, without forcing me to pay for theirs

I’m sorry I can’t help. I just wanted to drop a comment because splinter cell 1 was so great to play when it came out and now I want to play it again
