  • it’ll still cause downtime, and they’ll probably have a hard time restoring from backup for the first few times it happens, if not for other reason then stress. especially when it updates the wrong moment, or wrong day.

    they will leave vulnerable, un-updated containers exposed to the web

    that’s the point. Services shouldn’t be exposed to the web, unless the person really knows what they are doing, took the precautions, and applies updates soon after release.

    exposing it to the VPN and to tge LAN should be plenty for most. there’s still a risk, but much lower

    “backups with Syncthing”

    Consider warning the reader that it will not be obvious if backups have stopped, or if a sync folder on the backup pc is in an inconsistent state because of it, as errors are only shown on the web interface or third party tools












  • I guess this way people often just think that higher number is better, even if only subconsciously, and people will more often by a newer phone. but single increments like with the generation don’t have the same effect if the numbers are already large, and if they would use the release year maybe that wouldn’t have this effect on sales because people know it’s just the year. and a change from 2024 to 2025 does not seem to be so big as from 5 to 6




  • yes. ban them. they are already illegal in civilized countries for recording people without their expressed consent.

    ok, maybe I wasn’t clear, ban them from public spaces, including venues. you can use it at home if you want, and at your friends if they don’t send you home for it.

    folks who need translations

    they can point their phones’ focused camera on the text they want to translate.

    for disabilities, we need to research tools that allow affected people to exist more freely while being compatible with privacy.

    yes, I’m also against artificial eyes that work electronically or can connect to an electronic system


  • not really. AR glasses don’t have to be aware of your surroundings, they can just place content relative to where you look, and they can use a gyroscope as a compass for more advanced things. maybe there are other sensors that would be useful too while being compatible with privacy.

    of course they won’t be able to place apps on your fridge, or run search on anyone coming by on the street, but it can still be very useful
