They do encryption at rest too. Really good notes app and it’s cross platform too. Only missing a “web” client for when you want to access your notes on a computer without Joplin installed (but that defeats the purpose of the E2EE IMO)

Use NextDNS with this guide:

Haven’t had anything broken :)

Data privacy is a good thing, but user awareness is far more important. People are always the weakest link when it comes to privacy & security.

I’m glad more and more people are getting educated with all the resources that we have today and I like how Apple makes it easy to turn it on when users are educated enough. But they do need to be mindful of what they’re storing, the consequences (if they forgot they password), and what does E2EE protect them from.

I use NextDNS and I do have a subscription, currently using it on my router via DNS over HTTPS.

It is an excellent service (like a Pi-Hole on cloud) and I like how it does things like logging and analytics.

For using it in iOS you shouldn’t need to use the app, just install a (signed) profile via apple.nextdns.io and it will be configured natively (this is Apple’s approved way to use 3rd party private DNS).

I use this profile method and just made an exception to my home & work wifi network but will always use it otherwise (on mobile network or any other wifi networks)

AAC 256 should be at least on par with MP3 320 CBR, might also be on par with ogg vorbis at the same bitrate

YouTube Music Premium offers AAC 256kbps as the highest quality.

Format ID 141: https://gist.github.com/AgentOak/34d47c65b1d28829bb17c24c04a0096f

Opus 128 is only for the audio of YouTube videos. Not YouTube Music.

Not everyone can discern the difference between a 96KHz FLAC and 256kbps AAC. I can’t. But I still can (barely) tell the difference between 256kbps AAC, and 96kbps AAC.

But I can tell if a song was well-engineered or a mess.

I believe those who can’t discern the difference between bitrates (especially on high bitrates), but have the appreciation for good music, good mixing, and good mastering, can still be considered audiophile.

Man that looks sleek. I can’t wait for this update to roll out.

Run any Linux (I recommend Debian) as a Hyper-V VM, give it a 4-8 gigs of ram, and put all your containers there as you would on an RPi.

Debian usually backports security fixes to older versions, so you may wanna check to Debian if they have an updated version of the package with the security fix.

This can be done by taking the CVE number related to this vulnerability and look at the package changelog.

No

There is even a tool to convert Docker Run commands to a Docker Compose file :)

Such as this one hosted by Opnxng:

They do, the author just recently started working on it again and welcoming contributions :)

I think Cloudflare DNS works too and it’s free.

Full circle.

For something like movies or shows you would only just need to run it once and store it in .srt

I agree. This requires the user to actually save the attacker phone number as contact in order for this the IP address to “leak”

There’s still a chance that your contacts would have been hacked, and one could be vulnerable. But it all comes back to your risk profile. If you require hiding your IP address, you should turn this off or even use a VPN for all your traffic.

As most have pointed, the “always 2x” rule doesn’t have that much of relevance in 2023 as most computers now has more than 4GB of RAM. I would only use that much of a swap when using a low hardware.

For desktop, I would never go swapless, though. In the event of memory pressure, swap would still help in that situation so that OOM Killer do not kick off and unintentionally kill my working process. Plus it helps that Linux can move the least used data to the swap and use the RAM for filesystem cache.

So my rule of thumb, for desktop: If RAM < 8GB: Swap == 2x RAM If RAM => 8GB: Swap == 1x RAM

For servers, I think it depends on the workload. I keep a small amount, like probably 50% of RAM or less. But for stuff like Redis, it doesn’t make sense to have swap. You want to ensure that everything is in the memory.

I usually use 7-Zip with AES-256 encryption.

Otherwise, it seems like Veracrypt is still the de facto standard for file based encryption.

Picocrypt seems to be promising too: https://github.com/HACKERALERT/Picocrypt

In Indonesia, the tap water is not drinkable. Some gets their water from a nation-owned Drinking Water Company (PAM; Perusahaan Air Minum).

The situation is similar, they contain plenty of Chlorine to prevent bacteria from growing. But the distribution system might not be the cleanest. So usually people buy gallons of mineral water and put them into a dispenser.

Some others, takes their tap water from groundwater, pump it into a water tank, and use them. It is not drinkable either.

At home I use Reverse Osmosis dispenser from the groundwater, and it goes through a reminalisation process after the filtration process. I’ve been drinking with this setup for over 15 years now.
