But when you report obvious fake accounts that merely exist for 5 days, follow 5000 people already and only have 3 followers themselves but a nice spammy link in their profile, they allegedly don’t violate any terms of services…

That probably doesn’t work unless you power-cycle the picture frame after changing the photos.

I had this with some offline Samsung picture frame and a Transcend WiFi SD card. The SD card runs a small Linux and can be unlocked to add own scripts. I had a script that would rsync files from my storage to the SD. However, while the new files were written to the SD just fine, the picture frame never re-read the list of files from the SD. And after power-cycling, my specific model needed to be turned on manually again. So, that wasn’t a satisfactory solution.

I’m so glad I’ve spent my 2 or 3 bitcoins back in the early years for some 60€ software…

I’m using News Explorer. One-time purchase, and syncs your feeds and read/unread status between macOS and iOS/ipadOS.

Is that an AI photo at the top of the article? Or which Palm Pilot model is that?

Here’s another discussion about this.

This Glance?

I’m using UberSpace for 5€/month for a few small web projects and for emails. Unlimited mailboxes, unlimited aliases. However, you have to configure it using console commands via SSH. But it’s all explained in their documentation.

Yes, finally, cops don’t need to go to an Apple store undercover or need to buy their iPhone on the black market.

The secret is finally out!

Cops use iPhones, too.

If it’s the system with the (locked) KeePass database on it, you should be fine. The encryption can be tweaked so that unlocking the database takes a second even on modern systems. Doesn’t affect you much, but someone trying to brute-force the password will have a hard time. It also supports keyfiles for even more security.

If somebody infiltrates your end user device, no password tool will be safe once you unlock it.

Yep, the article is about Apple showing cops how to use the tech, what apps the police in other countries is using to support their daily work and the police evaluating the use of more Apple tech in their daily duty (Carplay, Vision, etc.).

There’s nothing about spying on normal Apple users or Apple handing out your personal data to the cops in that article.

Clickbait headline.

After trying them all, I’m back at having a local KeePass database that is synced to all my devices via iCloud and SyncThing. There are various apps to work with KeePass databases and e.g. Strongbox on macOS and iOS integrates deeply into Apple’s autofill API so that it feels and behaves natively instead of needing some browser extension. KeePass DX is available for all other platforms, and there are lots of libraries for various programming languages so that you can even script stuff yourself if you want.

And I have the encrypted database in multiple places should one go tits up.

Yeah, but I didn’t want to fiddle with some custom settings. The same official postgres container works great with other apps.

I didn’t notice any big drops in network or CPU performance. Usually, because other network traffic had priority. But my server’s HDD constantly rattling along got me thinking that it wasn’t worth it. There are several other containers running on that box and I don’t have that much HDD activity with them.

I did this for a while. However, after subscribing to several groups, there was constant disk activity and it ate network bandwidth. After two months I’ve stopped my server and went back to using a public instance.

The last time I’ve used glances - to be fair, some years ago - it caused the main CPU usage on my Raspberry Pi 3. However, looks like it’s been fixed recently.

Possibly a bit overkill, but I’m running Zabbix in 3 containers (Core, WebUI, database). Using its agent installed on all my machines, I can monitor basically anything. Of course, you can set limits, alerts, draw graphs, etc.

That’s what happens if you rely on 3rd party services that are very eager to please anyone that spells out DMC without even waiting for the A.

There should still be the rather tame World Digital Brasil… but their Tinfoil server is down at the moment, it seems.
