I don’t understand their aversion with JSON, but holy shit all the rest is miserable

oh, that’s right, sorry. it must have changed in recent years.

so I haven’t either found a definitive answer to whether it is a default mount option, but the closest I found is almost it: man mount says to look in man ext4, and there itsays the defaults are determined by the filesystem superblock.

the superblock’s settings can be viewed with tune2fs -l /dev/your_blockdev, and according to the “default mount options” line I indeed have acl enabled by default on all my ext4 filesystems.

so in the end, the default is determined by the tool that makes the filesystem. mkfs.ext4 reads them from /etc/mke2fs.conf if not overridden with an argument. on my system tue acl option is right there in this file.

and that also means that this depends not on your current system, but on the system where the filesystem was created.

that sounds to ge good advice, but I’m pretty sure they would yave done that themselves, if they had a backup.

and, if you read the whole post, you’ll know that they are physically unable to keep a backup.

So does it wait until it has found all the matches to run the command as a giant batch instead of running it as it finds matches?

almost. it runs the command in batches, if you have few enough files it may only run it once. this shouldn’t make it slower, but actually faster.

and yes, linux does not use ACLs by default. on ext4 usage of ACLs is not even enabled by default, but only if you set it up with the right mount option

I dont see how would it be a flaw of visa, but according to the Taler FAQ this is a feature.

Can I send money to my friends with Taler?

Taler supports push and pull payments between wallets (also known as peer-to-peer payments). While the payment appears to be directly between wallets, technically the operation is intermediated by the payment service provider which will typically be legally required to identify the recipient of the funds before allowing the transaction to complete.

an additional note: part of why is it not perfect is that you can’t send money privately to another person, like you would do with cash. in transactions like that there is a 3rd party involved that overses the transaction

why do they have so much compute, though? are they also running a facial recognition madness on their “security” cameras, as is customary in the USA?

thanks. I was wondering whether they called parkside or silvercrest cloud.

you can’t remove the Google search bar from the Pixel launcher is still crazy to me.

yeah that’s crazy, but it’s relatively easy to fix compared to deep rooted bloat and whatnot in the system. the pixels even have good support for some alt ROMs, that can’t be told about most samsungs, so you are basically forced to use their software

xiaomi doesn’t allow third party launchers anymore?? what a shitty change. since when is that?

also, I would rather have “subpar” hardware and a decent OS than trendy hardware and all the bloat and datamining of the world. but that honestly excludes most phones.

Fully equipped variant costs 250 euros but is only USB pluggable. In what century are we living in?

why, what do you need, PS/2? or do you want to connect it to your phone?

an exception to that is the initramfs that the bootloader uses. its creator adapts it to your system so that it can be smaller.

why would you choose samsung, of all?

Oh! you are right, this page works but I didnt realize I need to whitelist scripts and script requests for it.

But even on this view I can only go until the 14th page, where it says the same thing:

Sorry, guest/bot limit reached. Please login (register) to increase the limit (or unlimited with MobyPlus!)

Dont you also see this?

hmm I’m not sure, I think that would throw sequential read/write performance out of the window, surely on HDD, maybe even on SSD to an extent. but, such a thing can probably be added with a device mapper device.

it seems this one doesn’t have a camera! and it works through USB-C, which can be good or bad, but it seems maybe you can also just plug into your laptop in your backpack and that’s still better than always packing up your laptop when walking. it has mics and speakers built in too.

it claims to also have a 3D mode, and some 3D features to pin apps to space, but no idea how that works. maybe it can pin the display in itself, not individual apps?
edit: it seems that only works with their own weird phone brand

now the question is if there are AR glasses that strictly don’t have any cameras. if there are, I’m interested

That is block based encryption

isn’t all the disk encryption standards supported by cryptsetup are like that? so LUKS1, veracrypt, bitlocker, etc

How does the encryption affect the wear-leveling of the SSD and what should be considered to ensure a safe encryption?

LUKS, or rather Device Mapper for crypto devices does not enable trim by default, you need to enable it separately.

the LUKS wiki also has some general tips, and some for SSDs specifically: https://gitlab.com/cryptsetup/cryptsetup/-/wikis/FrequentlyAskedQuestions
