But, what does that actually achieve besides limiting Canada’s ability to, for example, seize assets? TikTok, being a digital platform, isn’t very dependent on regional presence; it’s not like you’ve gotta head to their offices to post/view content.

If TikTok/ByteDance isn’t complying with Canadian laws/standards, Canada no longer has leverage to influence change.

How does this actually ‘harm’ TikTok and/or protect Canadians?

The article writer’s didn’t even read the paper they are reporting…

This is power-over-skin. Ie: power transmitted from one device to another via human skin. It’s not harvesting or generating energy from the human body.

The research paper, published by Andy Kong, Daehwa Kim, and Chris Harrison from Carnegie Mellon University, notes that the human body is particularly efficient at generating 40 MHz RF energy.

No. It doesn’t. At all…

Page 1 of the research paper PDF:

We call our technique Power-over-Skin Prior work has found that the human body is particularly efficient at conducting 40 MHz RF, while largely confining transmitted power to the body

Seems it’s a re-write of this article from Monday, leaving out the transmitter part.

(their source from 3 weeks ago) https://youtu.be/5PEN04-jyCU?si=JzzeLW6KalDKxOss

Power isn’t harvested from the human body it’s transmitted (in really small amounts) across the body from one device to another, using capacitive coupling and 40MHz AC voltage.

[…] the Government of Canada has ordered the wind up of the Canadian business carried on by TikTok Technology Canada, Inc. The government is taking action to address the specific national security risks related to ByteDance Ltd.’s operations in Canada through the establishment of TikTok Technology Canada, Inc. […]

[…] The government is not blocking Canadians’ access to the TikTok application or their ability to create content. The decision to use a social media application or platform is a personal choice. […]

Sooo, what’s the goal here? How does this help, or effect, Canadians?

Do you perhaps have a non-English system language?

Radarr has settings in each quality profile to select a release language, but Sonarr does not… Wondering if it’s tied to system language instead.

I do not see this issue: titles search in English only. (including the example series ‘The Penguin’)

Some more reading, for those following along:

This was their stance 2 months ago:

I don’t think that would have changed if not for the backlash Microsoft has received for it.

Now, supposedly it’s optional and off by default, but that could change again anytime…

If you selfhost paperless-ngx, there are option to add email accounts and regularly import emails+their attachments like any other document. You can then have it delete imported mail from the mail server, or just move/mark it so you can deal with that manually.

It doesn’t currently support OAuth2 for providers like Microsoft, so you’ve gotta use App Passwords with Gmail for now, but there is a fix in the pipeline to add OAuth2 support soon. (there’s also other methods you can use to get that part working right now)

The web/browser app really really sucks on console and JF doesn’t have clients for consoles :/

It’s one of the biggest things keeping me away. Xbone is my primary streaming device, and several of my users use xbone as well.

Plus Foldersync is way harder on battery, I’ve experimented a lot.

This is very configuration dependant. With an aggressive schedule checking a large number of files, it certainly can use a lot of battery; but I’ve had it setup to sync my entire device to my server a couple times a day, while also monitoring/syncing images immediately on creation/change. It doesn’t even register on androids battery usage monitor as it uses so little power.

Anyway; just listing an option for people to look at

I’ve always just used Folder Sync + an ssh server, if people are looking for alternatives.

Telus is the one that’s sent me dozens of notices; they don’t care. They just pass on the message they received and wash their hands.

In Canada, I get letters (well emails) when I rawdawg some torrents; but it’s never gone further than that.

Prior to using usenet, I constantly torrented w/o a VPN (talking 10+ TB of data across 3ish years) and received a new email notice or two every other day. I’ve still got a folder with 60+ notices. ISP doesn’t give af, they just forward the copyright notice in the form it was sent to them, and that’s it.

Now though I primarily use usenet and haven’t gotten a notice since. Downloads are also way way more reliable and faster.

That’s covered in the article you’re commenting on.

Another user on GitHub also pointed out that Microsoft’s own DISM can be used to disable the Recall service without the File Explorer consequences, although Titus points out that this behaviour seems inconsistent, as in his testing, the File Explorer still changed its appearance after a restart. Inconsistency aside, it’s unlikely that any non-technical Windows user will even know what DISM is, never mind how to use it, and this reliance on a command-line utility to remove a controversial feature is indicative of MIcrosoft’s goals.

Because 2 letter tlds are reserved to be issued to countries. Ideally the country’s 2 letter country code.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Country_code_top-level_domain

All ASCII ccTLD identifiers are two letters long, and all two-letter top-level domains are ccTLDs.

at least for the technology-related domains.

It’s not a technology related domain though; it’s a country’s domain that happens to be used for a lot of tech.

With the country dissolving, the domain does too, so it can become available for future countries.

So the .su domain was handed to Russia to operate alongside its own (.ru). The Russian government agreed that it would eventually be shut down, but no clear rules around its governance or when that should happen were defined.

But ambiguity is the worst thing for a top-level domain. Unknowingly, this decision created an environment in which .su became a digital wild west. Today, it is a barely policed top-level domain, a plausibly deniable home for Russian dark ops and a place where supremacist content and cyber-crime have found cover.

I seems IANA would like to not repeat past mistakes.

More than any other piece of self-hosted software: backups are important if you’re going to host a password manager.

I have Borg automatically backing up most of the data on my server, but around once every 3 months or so, I take a backup of Vaultwardens data and put it on an external drive.

As long as you can keep up with that, or a similar process; there’s little concern to me about screwing things up. I’m constantly making tweaks and changes to my server setup, but, should I royally fuck up and say, corrupt all my data somehow: I’ve got a separate backup of the absolutely critical stuff and can easily rebuild.

But, even with the server destroyed and all backups lost, as long as you still have a device that’s previously logged into your password manager; you can unlock it and export the passwords to manually recover.
