Software solutions: streamfab or anystream (RIP)

Hardware solution: a $5 HDMI splitter from AliExpress to remove hdcp (it must be no name chinese AliExpress stuff, branded splitters won't remove hdcp) + HDMI capture card

I feel maybe that's a dovecot issue? Or a spamassassin issue?

In my setup it seems "normal" that spam sent to aliases gets in the "catch all" instead of the mailbox of the user that has that alias. Very infuriating as I had to tune down the spam filter to block only the most obvious spam as false positives get "lost"

Although since 3-4 months ago I didn't receive any misdirected spam in the catch-all mailbox, so it might be that's now it has been fixed (I'm one of those guys that run updates automatically unattended because my hobby is fixing problems when there's a breaking feature after update)

Where's the selfhosting in something that is server-side proprietary code?

get a free domain with duckdns

Yes but in this case it's something that parses stuff received from internet, not a calculator or a sudoku app. There's a tiny chance that a specially crafted email could be exploited. It's very unlikely that it would be explicitly targeted as it's a niche app that now gets less than a download a day, but still IMHO it's dangerous.

On the fdroid community I once recommended to everyone a 100% offline app that generated generic images for contacts without pictures and because it was abandoned in 2018 I was downvoted by many who would say "what if an attacker with some top tier social engineering skill persuaded you to use a specially crafted exploited image as a contact picture on your phone, then when you used this app to parse existing picture, the 6 years old image library would be exploited and your phone hacked??" - something that has the same probability of "what if the same day you found on the ground a winning lottery ticket a meteorite hits the ground, bounces back all the stairs and hits you while waiting the subway pushing you on an incoming train?"

I wonder if finally would be possible to have decent SMB browsing speeds when there are thousands of directories on a non-apple SMB server, as the system file browser checks all the subdirectories for resource forks.

At work the guy that insisted for a Mac takes 3+ minutes to load the main share with 10k directory, while on windows/Linux is instant.

Syncthing copies the whole directory content, not just what you need.

OP is asking probably because of the outrageous apple SSD prices. For reference, swapping the 256gb SSD on the $700 Mac mini with a 2tb one costs $1000. And it's soldered on the motherboard so you have to decide when you buy it.

Because drive and RAM size on apple computers is simply unaffordable (even in 2014 buying 1,75tb of solid storage would have costed less than this!), many users need to be conscious on what to locally save on the drive.

It's probably to push users to iCloud as it's optimized to keep everything online and occupy as less space as possible

wow that looks awesome

From what I saw that you just need to claim it by stating that's yours, only risking to get sued by the original owner.

maybe if you buy them from aliexpress, but WD/Seagate USB drives have better warranty than internal drives and at the same time they need to withstand more abuse from users (of course that warranty is void the moment you shuck them)

for some people is normal to keep an hdd in the backpack and carry it around all the time (for me is unconceivable)

Seems a neat way to lose everything

[–] Moonrise2473@feddit.it 26 points 6 months ago (4 children)

Yes and i got "scammed" - western digital in order to save $3 included the USB port directly on the drive motherboard instead of the usual sata+usb like anyone else was doing
