corrupt files will have glitches in the best case, but more likely have noticeable decoding errors, and completely unplayable files in the worst case (some parts of a video file are essential for processing the rest). that could also happen if the file system metadata gets corrupted, and the OS cannot piece together the file extents or the whole directory anymore.

modern data storage relies on reliable storage medium. to protect yourself against bit rot the only thing you can do is to keep backups on different storage devices. but what does it worth if you don’t notice (in time) there’s corruption. you need some way to detect it. a catalogue of some sort, like a checksum file for a whole directory tree, automatically extended with new files, ran in checking mode on schedule, and notifeably notifying you about issues. it can be a custom made solution for traditional file systems like ext4, ntfs, xfs, the FATs, etc, or a filesystem that has that function built-in like zfs or btrfs. the latter two don’t implement the notification and the schedule part, but they do the majority of the work. also if you want to notice not just corruption but erroneous deletion or modification too, you should also use their snapshot functionality. you can diff them to see if there’s any unexpected changes.

well, to some people. but if you think about it this way: it’s an entertainment website with no useful content, then I can agree with it

my impression is that the customer didn’t even greet the technician when they arrived

It’s not a divorce if one of the parties just dies

the recent California law seems to be better. what it requires is the parent to be able to configure the age for an OS account. browsers can then check the age bracket, and enforce the limit instead of having the website do it.

you start with authenticated things, like forgejo and such, and always double check that anonymous visitors don’t see any data.

but generally it’s also not wise to just expose most services to the internet. jellyfin for example had lots of leaks because lots of API functionality was accessible without authentication. I don’t know if it’s been fully fixed.
expose a wireguard, it is safe, it is security software, and access everything else through it. you can keep using your domain for internal services.

with copyparty there’s an added risk. if police finds you hosted child porn, they won’t care if it wasn’t you who uploaded it. someone reports it to them, they steal all your computers, worst case you can even end up in jail.

weird, I thought its in the default selection. did you maybe register with a different language (I don’t know if possible)

yeah tick in both english and undefined (or how it’s called), maybe others too

people can learn from it with lots of effort, if they get access to the data. but it’s not so much effort (time) for an AI company (for a good enough quality), and since microsoft collects it it does not only affect what you willingly publish, but virtually anything on your computer

So, when Bitlocker stopped updating and the message appeared people just tied it into the things that were happening at the time.

I think you wanted to say truecrypt

The Internet doesn’t keep us in. We built the Internet because we never wanted to leave.

fediverse users tend to be more conscious about their internet usage, but I don’t think this applies to the more popular social media sites that are built upon attention economy

not really. It’s rather when you delete something you posted, you delete lots of things other people posted.

since the housing bubble collapsed

did it? it does not seem so. where I live to buy a house in good condition people need to take out loans that the bank may not even allow, but if it does they’ll pay it for decades. even empty plots are still very expensive. more and more people live in a rented place even though they don’t want to move, because their house is taken away.

In contrast to the housing bubble, where a lot of the value was in overpriced houses sold to individuals,

was?

Invidious won’t let you play a video that youtube itself removed

how do you expect to claim warranty if you can’t do an RMA?

from my part even a text platform would be better, like a discourse forum, or god forbid, maybe even discord.

is it that it’s embarrassing, or do you also actually want it?

I guess lots of companies still use some ancient proprietary thing
