Well, we could have found out what he did with his life if he didn’t die.

And a well respected historian and just a kid.

Certainly not good riddance.

Where I’m from there’s certificates a company can get, that confirm a certain level of process and IT security. Also a company existing for at least 5-10 years without incidents is a “vetted” company in my books. At least anything that managed to produce a working IT system before 2021 when AI came around.

I also believe there’s a bit of bad wording going on with the original comment. Take it up with that guy, lol.

This situation would have been easily preventable with basic understanding of what they’re doing is what OP is saying. This leak is not something highly complex, it is painfully stupid on the side of the developers.

There’s a difference between a hack, where data is exposed, compared to data exposure due to negligence or ignorance on the development side.

Or it gets them into a negative feedback loop since AI hardly ever tries to contradict you.

But yeah. At least they’re opening up to someone/something.

If you’re behind a conventional router they still do NAT afaik.

Per default your IPv6 address should be an internal one if it’s enabled.

Yeah, we managed to recreate that in a lab. Those old OS’s are super vulnerable.

EOL means no more security updates, which means attack vectors don’t get patched.

If you keep using a Windows installation (or any OS for that matter) that isn’t patched regularly you are very likely to be victim to some malicious actor eventually. It’s not manual hacking anymore, it’s bots scraping the whole internet exploiting known vulnerabilities completely automated.

The risk is much lower if you’re in a home network with NAT, where your PCs IP is not publicly reachable, but if you communicate with any webservices you’re still vulnerable.

As example. If you nowadays put a Windows XP machine live on the internet with a public IP, it will be compromised within minutes.

So yeah. Good call switching to Mint, but please don’t use unpatched Windows.

I use Hugo for static site generation and it makes the RSS stuff for me.

What kind of affiliation are you talking about?

Skywind sounds like something Thor would call his farts.

I don’t necessarily like a few takes in the comments here.

Vibes wise the Obsidian team seems to be great and they don’t seem to have shown any reason why I should distrust them. I love FOSS but gifting others my work doesn’t put food on my table, so in that sense they need to have a lucrative business model which they seem to have established.

I could use SyncThing, Git or other solutions to do synchronisation between my devices but I choose to buy their Sync offer, since I want to support them (they also have EU servers, which need to be GDPR compliant by law afaik).

The closest comparison I could make is NextCloud. NextCloud open sources their software, but they sell convenience. Sure, you could self host it, but paying them to do so for you may be more attractive. In comparison Obsidian is not really complicated to set up or maintain. It’s literally just a MD-editor. So the only convenient thing to sell is synchronisation if you don’t want to put a price tag on the software.

If they open source all their code, some tech wizard will implement a self hosted obsidian sync server with the same convenience as theirs in a day, and the company will lose their revenue stream.

We’ve all been burned by tech bros in one way or another, but I think it’s ok for people to profit off of their IP. And they seem to be doing so with a positive vision. Feel free to let me eat my words if they ever go rogue, but that’s my 2 cents.

The battle ended in a stalemate, but half a year later you suddenly get a +20 XP pop-up.

A lot of people never had positive role models when it comes to sharing their feelings.

When I started dating my now wife, she would sometimes ignore me for a week if we got into a disagreement, just because she couldn’t tell me what’s bothering her and be real with her own emotions.

She’s grown a lot since then and when there’s inevitably a new argument we can resolve it very quickly now.

Communication is important, but it’s something you have to learn.

Semi related: I unintentionally compromised someone’s account by registering their expired domain once.

They used the domain for some accounts and I’ve been getting emails for them due to using a catch-all filter. I contacted most of those service providers support teams, but some just told me to reset the password and login that way. Needless to say that disregard for privacy infuriated me a bit.

So yeah, if you ever register a domain for something, make sure all references to it are gone when you let it go.

Isn’t that the case in Final Fantasy?

It’s a lot of fun playing healers there imho. WoW was so hectic as a healer, especially in raids. FF seems so relaxed in comparison.

Agreed. It’s really shit for new code, but if I’m writing glue code stuff or repetitive code it saves a lot of time spent on typing.

I remember navigating for my dad as a kid using a physical street map. It was a great feeling tracking your position on the map and telling the driver what turn to make next.

But nothing beats the convenience of having a small rectangle that automatically calculates routes for you, especially when travelling alone.
