'Critical' vulnerability in OpenSSH uncovered, affects almost all Linux systems
  • Yeah. Some services you kinda want accessible directly, but ssh really isn't one of them. Even though it should be safe, as that's it's intended purpose, putting a VPN in front of it makes a lot of sense, especially with how easy it is to setup these days. Anything used for administration is systems should be behind one.

  • Suggestions for file sync / android backup / sharing software (nextcloud alternative)
  • Yeah I was just so confused when I found out that this isn't possible. Like, it's a file hosting and sync-ing application. That's like absolute basics. It isn't even "just" an open source project any more, there's a company behind this product now. I am the last person to be angry about an open source project, run by a volunteer or three, not being feature complete.

    For what it's worth I think it works in the iOS version of the app (possibly always has?). But that's doesn't exactly help me either.

  • Suggestions for file sync / android backup / sharing software (nextcloud alternative)
  • The native Android client just can't do two way sync. Just put a text file or something into any folder (from the web or desktop). Now sync that folder to Android. Now edit it on the web/desktop, and look for the changes on Android (without actively telling it to "sync"). Then change the file on Android, these 2nd changes are never sent back to the server unless you explicitly tell it to "sync" again, manually. That's what I mean with 2 way sync.

    There are quite a few files where you just need that to work to use them properly, like the database of a password manager as a prime example. Mine can talk to Nextcloud natively, so I don't need the client for that, but I was incredibly close to just switching to syncthing, if I didn't have active users that use the web office integration of Nextcloud.

  • Anyone had success with RepRap projects?
  • I think the typical recommendation would be "the 100" (Link to GitHub). There are a few other projects like it. I think that should be a good starting point for a search though if that particular one is not your cup of tea.

    We're in the age of easily accessible, great quality hardware though. Just from a performance point, 3d printing will be worse in most respects comparatively (still "good enough" though if using a modem design). Look at a Voron V0 kit as an example (or one of the other printers for ants, if you're looking for more complexity). Uses nothing but readily accessible parts, reasonably priced and incredible performance.

  • Telescoping e-trike adapts to recumbent riders short or tall
  • That is such a weird "headline feature" to be adaptable to different riders. I've never known someone who would regularly share or swap bikes with someone where this is needed. I need my bike to fit me. I buy adoringly and set it up once. I then never touch saddle height, handlebar position and whatever else is adjustable ever again.

    If it brings production costs down for having less variants or sizes, sure. But who needs this as a feature so desperately that it's one of 3 l features even mentioned in this post (except for it being a trike in the first place, I guess).

  • Suggestions for file sync / android backup / sharing software (nextcloud alternative)
  • Nextcloud can't do two-way sync on Android. At all. That's like core functionality for the product IMHO and there's a feature request open I think. When I found that out, I basically spit out my coffee. It's fine if you just want to upload photos you take, that kinda works (but my god is it fragile).

    Nextcloud is pretty good at quite a few things, including extensibility, but having some omissions in functionality that boggle the mind.

  • You can fit two cars there
  • That may well be the case that this is what he means, but how would we know when he calls it tilt shift anyway? Cause that's not what "tilt shift" means.

    If he wants to say it's photoshopped or whatever, just say that instead of using terms that clearly don't apply.

  • You can fit two cars there
  • There is no tilt shifting in that photo. Neither physical (by actually tilting a single lens inside the lens assembly) nor digital. What you're seeing as blurryness is just normal how camera focus works.

    They may have applied a slight vignette blur to the edges, but it's really hard to tell with the light bleed on the left edge.

  • YouTube’s “new subscriber” email hasn’t changed substantially in 10+ years
  • What else do you want from that email? You got a new subscriber. There's their name. Why change the layout just for the sake of change? Surely there are people having rules or automations tied to them, why brake them? Just for funsies?

  • Some days it'll be like that, take 2
  • I had one broken spoke in around 40 years of cycling. I always thought it was basically impossible to break them, even if the bike is 20+ years old. I guess you just need the right (wrong?) circumstances...

  • The Simpsons IMDB ratings
  • But that's the problem. For some reason tv show episodes get voted higher relatively speaking. So a 7.0 movie is kinda ok, but a 7.0 tv episode is probably pretty bad.

    I guess it comes from the pool of people who vote on series are more inclined to liking it, since they somehow got to watch a season 3 episode. If they hated the show as they probably wouldn't get that far. Movies are one-off by design and anyone could watch and rate it, obviously.

  • Which Email provider Tuta or Proton?
  • Not trying to make the choice harder, but mailbox.org seems to fit into the choices as well (also hostesd in Germany). Also in terms of hosting in Switzerland, keep in mind that it's not actually part of the EU, which is the primary/original source for many of the privacy laws you probably care about if you're looking into these providers.

  • A Short IPv6 Guide for Home IPv4 Admins
  • Because they don't want you to host things at your house, even though that's perfectly fine from a technical standpoint. They might want to sell you a "business" line for this, or they just don't want the traffic (since at least in my area, traffic is always included in any home Internet connection).
