There are a few optical storage mediums designed for long term archival storage. Like M-Disc or (as mentioned in the article) pioneers DM for Archive, both of which are still commercially available.

And provided they’re stored properly, even more general consumer oriented optical media can easily last a few decades. Granted the environmental aspect of “proper storage” (<50% relative humidity, constant temp <80F and >50F) can be difficult to achieve at home in a lot of regions, but generally banks and credit unions have an option to get a safety deposit box which is generally in an environmentally controlled room. Other than that just store your media in an opaque single disc case.

I did not remember correctly, kind of. From AOSP, Android 7 and later use file-based encryption (FBE) rather then full-disk encryption (FDE). FBE is dependant on verified boot, which itself requires a locked bootloader.

Custom ROMs may have back ported FDE, modified FBE, or implemented their own encryption.

I feel like that one isn’t that hard to remember because “its” stands out as a common exception to the rule for possessive singular nouns.

“It’s” is a contraction of “it is” while “its” is possessive.

It is largely an anti-tampering measure. Without it you could have things injected into the system. For example, a stalker could install a hidden tracking program as a service and then return your phone without you knowing.

Iirc it’s also a prerequisite for full-disk encryption on modern android. So, without it your user data is available to be dumped in an unencrypted state. Most phone thieves are interested in reselling the phone, so they’re provably not going to go through the effort and risk damage to the phone just to dump encrypted data from the chips directly. However, if it’s just available unencrypted from fastboot why not dump it? They could get info that could be used to blackmail or scam you or people you know. Or they could just sell the data.

Is there a link to the code? I know I could probably search for it, but if you’re going post about the code being public you could at least include a link to it.

Odo and Lwaxana have their own love vector going on elsewhere.

I doubt it will be climate change specifically. I think it will be the increasing political divisiveness. It’ll be a whole bunch of different issues, climate change included, that neither political party can agree on the reality of, much less how to address them that will continue to escalate tensions between the two major political parties until we reach the point of a second civil war.

I think America is less than 50 years away from that point. The path we’re on ends in war. Who knows if our country will survive.

Or the WD-40, can’t forget that.

If it weren’t for your retropie post and the fact that she’s gone no-contact with our dad, I’d question if you were my sister, because this sounds like something she’d do with almost the same family size/relative ages.

Ah, it’s one of those. I was thinking it was the TV’s OS.

I don’t have a lot of experience with those smaller dongles, but as I understand it they’re fairly low power devices that are more meant for streaming relatively low bitrate media from the internet or from a phone. It may not have the horsepower for playing back high bitrate media from Jellyfin or Plex.

Others may have a solution that’ll work for that device, but my gut response is to say you should consider replacing it with something more powerful.

Unless you have a commitment to only using open source software, I’d recommend Plex over Jellyfin. Mostly because I’ve found the client software for Jellyfin to be lacking, especially on AppleTV.

For the issues with the GoogleTV, you mention that it’s on WiFi, would it be possible to use a wired connection or get another set top box for it? Some TVs have the WiFi antenna behind the screen causing interference, so even though other devices get a strong signal the TV doesn’t.

Also, how’s the hardware on your server? Is the CPU powerful enough or do you have a GPU for transcoding? Also, is the server on WiFi or wired?

It’s worth noting that a lot of settop boxes have limited codec support, which might be forcing transcoding even if everything should otherwise support direct play.

It’s also not that obscure. Lonely Island is up there with Weird Al as one of the most famous comedy bands.

Sounds like something The Onion would write.

I have yet to encounter a US ISP that doesn’t have laughably bad customer service.

The reason I don’t switch is because there are no other options.

The fuck are they smoking? I’d really like to try it because there isn’t a substance in known reality that would make that statement not sound hilariously, institutionalizably insane.

I was birthed to that album.

I think it depends on your definition of positive.

In the short-term I think there will be some economic benefits. Long-term not so much.

But for positive effects that’s about all I’ve got.

The political climate will become more divisive.

Red states will enact more regressive policies driving left-leaning voters out, while attracting large businesses into those states with economic incentives. Which will cause blue states to lose jobs.

The Democrat party will be pushed further to the right as they try to court the needed electoral college votes from red states, leaving their actual voter base feeling less and less represented and driving resentment from the left.

All of which will eventually set the stage for a second American civil war within the next couple of decades. Though that assumes we don’t blunder our way into WW3 by antagonizing China with a trade war when they’ve already indicated that they intend to start militarily enforcing their One China policies. A protracted trade war with the US would potentially force their hand. If that happens we will be forced to defend our allies in Asia, particularly Taiwan and China has enough allies and is economically powerful enough that such a conflict could rapidly balloon into a world war. Which would likely stave off an American civil war for at least a few additional decades.

I think we’re watching the culmination of nearly a century of shortsighted, reactive policies enacted by greedy people that have progressively escalated in a way that you could almost mistake for a long term plan. I don’t think any of this will end well and I think the new administration is in a position to make things significantly worse for a great many people and fully intends to do so. Nothing good will come of this.

That looks useful, I might host that. Does anyone have an RSS feed of at risk data?

GrapheneOS has the option for a scheduled reboot if the phone hasn’t been unlocked for a configurable amount of time.
