I wonder if this has anything to do with Apple’s CSAM scanning. You know, hang on to the photos as evidence, and, for an added bonus, sell more iCloud storage because the “System Data” now exceeds the free iCloud data storage quota. Win-win!
If it is indeed a boneheaded mistake, then it’s probably because of over reliance on RPC-type calls from the front-end that displays the data, to the back-end that actually handles the data. User deletes photo, and the front-end, instead of actually deleting it, tells the backend to do it… and then hides the photo from view, maybe updates its index of photos marking them as “deleted” regardless of whether the backend actually deleted the photo.
Then an OS update comes along, and rescans the filesystem, and report a bunch of new photos to the front-end, that then happily add them to the GUI to the user’s surprise.
Modern APIs and software architectures are a bloated, unnecessarily complex mess, and this is the result.
Whoah, isn’t FUTO the non-profit that Louis Rossmann works for? This is great news!!
Actually the ad matches the article. To me the ad is “fringe” and it has infested the “mainstream” (CNN).
The ability to walk at 40km/h speeds.
Wasn’t Google Plus used to be called Circles? Man, I feel old!
If this is their attitude to a clear self-inflicted fuckup, then that’s plenty reason for me to avoid them and their services. It’s not like their services were distinct in any way… just a dime in a dozen cloud provider.
At work, if you have the option, consider using KeePassXC or similar software. That will give you a properly encrypted file with secrets and also password-manager features.
Hear hear!
Google reminds me more and more of Microsoft of the 90s. That’s exactly the kind of compatibility breaking asinine move MS would do 30 years ago. Sigh…
What happens if you redirect all traffic to a sinkhole, rather than to 127.0.0.1? Do the devices still freak out when they talk to a web server which returns a 404? Just morbidly curious…
Better late than never and I responded! Check your DM. :)
I have the whole series as DRM-free MP3. Let me know if you want it.
The Orion browser for iOS/iPadOS supports both Firefox and Chromium extensions, however, the support is quite buggy and limited. Nonetheless, a valiant effort by Orion devs.
You should see/try socialist/communist toilet paper. Not only is it thin like this, it will also no-so-gently exfoliate your anus.

5 days WFH hands down.
Good point! I assumed the worst; but it’s possible the array is rebuilding or even already rebuilt and just needs to be mounted.
According to LocalSend docs these are the ports that need to be opened: Multicast (UDP) Port: 53317 Address: 224.0.0.167 HTTP (TCP) Port: 53317 AFAIK macOS firewall is app-based, at least in the GUI. So depending on how you installed LocalSend, you may have to add it to the list of allowed apps: https://support.apple.com/en-ca/guide/mac-help/mh34041/mac
You may be able to add the ports above to /etc/pf.conf manually, but AFAIK messing with pf on macOS is not recommended.
The other thing I wanted to ask is about Vallum. If you have it running on that Mac, would it not “take over” the macOS firewall?
Assuming you were using a Linux software RAID, you should be able to recover it.
The first step would be to determine what kind of RAID you were using… btrfs, zfs, mdraid/dmraid/lvm… do you know what kind you set up?
To start the process, try reconnecting your RAID disks to a working Linux machine, then try checking:
Note: if you used zfs of btrfs, do not do steps 3 and 4; they are MD RAID specific.
If you’re that worried, why not run chmod -R u+w .git inside the project dir to “un write-protect” the files, then just ascend to the directory containing the project dir (cd …) and use rm -r without -f?
The force flag (-f) is the scary one, I presume?
