i finally managed to extract the OTP secret.

OMG, WTF. So needlessly hard. If Epic Store did the same of Valve for their OTP, the forums would be filled with hate and outrage

Need to pay an auditor to check the code https://support.google.com/cloud/answer/13465431?hl=en

for FOSS projects, google itself could sponsor the certification, if they really cared about security and not just closing the garden. The code is public and they could definitely write automated tests to check all they need to check, and at every single commit, and not just yearly, done in secret by some auditor.

For google drive integration, i saw that most devs are just removing support for it because doesn’t make sense to pay $500 yearly to support it when there’s a million of better alternatives

for some reason i read xfs instead of btrfs…

their array implementation is stupid and smart at the same time. I love that you can mix and match disks at random, even with different filesystems (you can have one drive in murderfs, one in xfs, one in btrfs and the last one in zfs and all protected with the same parity drive), but i completely hate how my server is locked by a 25% iowait due to how much cpu intensive is their softraid. Maybe when they came out with this system 20 years ago it was groundbreaking, but now it is stupid. Now with unraid 7 released one week ago they’re starting to deprecate it (disabled by default in new install) in favor of native btrfs or zfs arrays

I replaced gmail with fairemail for similar reasons. I can’t stand their interface, designed to maximise clicks on the wrong locations.

Main problem is that now google requires developers of email clients to give $4000 in annual fees (level 3? or level 2 for just $500 is enough?) at their friends at KPMG to do yearly audits of the code, so they will kill most alternatives in few years now that oauth is mandatory

a btrfs “array” in unraid is composed by individual btrfs partitions mounted as /mnt/disk1 /disk2 /disk3 and so on, then there’s a daemon that makes a “unified” view at /mnt/user/, and it uses a different algorithm for parity.

There’s a way to make real btrfs raid arrays, but it has been introduced very recently (1-2 years ago), and it’s not the default that you create when you use the Web UI.

The unraid array it’s not an array, but a bunch of xfs partitions where a third party program is doing softraid. If opened on any other Linux distro, they will mount but parity drives are ignored

If you have new drives: make a zfs array and copy all files there

If you want to recycle drives while temporarily keeping the parity drives: from unraid 7 set a drive as unused, use the mover (or unbalance) to empty it, check if it’s actually empty by going to /mnt/diskX , format it as btrfs, set it as preferred for your shares, choose another disk to empty, use the mover to move all the data from the next disk to the new btrfs one, then remove the empty drive and add it to the btrfs raid. Repeat.

Uncompressed Blu-ray rips are almost the same size when compressed with lossless compression. The binary content of h264 files are almost random bits so deduplication is almost a waste of CPU time. Maybe you can save space from the useless repeated media like trailers and other ads in the bluray isos

I’d absolutely pay that 23 cents PayPal invoice as there’s a fixed 35 cents fixed fee on every transaction plus 3%, so if you pay it, it costs them 13 cents

spammers they just email info@domain and call it a day, they don’t try to see if you have some custom naming scheme. I bounce all emails sent to that, the rest is catchall, with occasional blacklist to some TLD like .monster .asia .xyz or .su

Fucking MICROSOFT did that with Hotmail

for some reason telecoms worldwide are allowing voip companies to spoof almost any number - you can ID them but require cooperation of too many companies for a single individual without a court warrant

Trivial for law enforcement (just send a couple of copy/paste requests), almost impossible for regular people

but indeed, if OP was a CEO, the FBI would take immediate action about it

It looks like it’s some “nice guy”. Send a link “ok you definitely won my heart now, click here to see my nude”. When the word “nude” appears, his small brain goes in overflow, and his dick will let him click that link. The link is something that let you track his ip address AND shows a dick pick, for immediate brain crash

edit: oops i forgot the /s

I thought writing something like this was obvious satire, but obviously people is taking that seriously…

Every site needs a government license and it’s trivial to detect and flag incoming traffic on web ports on a residential IP address - they are going to be interested in what kind of " subversive propaganda " you’re hosting

wow, really neat design for this price range

It seems like regular people can get a public IPv6 so they can self host at home. Although, technically, everything public facing needs a ICP license so hosting stuff on Port 80/443 can draw a target on the head

Otherwise rent a vps in Singapore/Korea/Japan plus a .com domain and access via cloudflare tunnel as too much traffic over SSH/VPN/rarely used ports to a fresh Ipv4 address leads it to automatic probing and ban https://gfw.report/blog/gfw_shadowsocks/

What they expect from this question? Some human is supposed to read this? Filling useless forms like those is the perfect job for a LLM
