My main concern is that all my data is online, potentially forever (I have to assume it will be) and the only thing needed to access it is a comparatively tiny encryption key (we’re talking Megabytes) that I have to keep safe forever (or until I delete it). If I ever mess up, or a computer with the encryption key gets compromised, then there goes my data into the public domain…
Storing important data online on someone else’s computer is beyond fucked up levels of stupid: You only need to lose your encryption key once in your lifetime afterwards, and you can consider your backup public for all the world to see. And a single encryption weakness / backdoor will expose data just the same. Not to mention using third party sw to “do the backup” for you and relying on them to encrypt it so that they themselves can’t read it, is very naive.
Once your data left your home network, it is no longer yours to control.
How do you not know? ;) j/k, but I think occasionally the prices do pop up in some posts or articles
No, I think it’s everywhere.
Except they don’t? If you have a sensitive nose, all you need is for places to be clean and not smell bad. Most higher-priced hotels I have smelled have either smelled “normal” as expected, or if there were added scents, it was irritating.
Well - I guess I’ll just skip the occasional visit to their site then. Had no account anymore anyways. gfys spez
Without knowing further details beyond the summary, it sounds like Nazi Germany putting heroes on trial that were fighting against a genocidal regime.
Ok that’s a fair point I had overlooked. Thanks for explaining.
Mhh today I learned. That’s wild. I would have thought that any sane person would allow only 7-bit ASCII for the source code, and forward-compatible character sets in strings (every standard iteration being allowed to add characters, but not remove them).

And no shit, Sherlock. If you thought otherwise, you are living proof why there should be laws protecting people from such predatory snake oil vendors.
Very funny, <insert most liked name>.
It’s like russian roulette with lower stakes
Nah, I would absolutely want my compiler to error out hard on characters that are not allowed per the standard.
Shit - the next five weeks I’ll read C++ lines in upspeak in my head :(
Corporate needs you to find…
An hour? Wtf? I swear that 5+years ago I saw a tool that would trivially modify any file by appending MD5-sum-length bytes to match any desired MD5, within a fraction of a second.
The proper and respectful way to cancel a date would be to say - for example - “look, I’ve thought this through and I am not feeling it, I changed my mind about further dates, I appreciate the time you spent with me & I wish you all the best!”
The red flag here is mentioning someone “promising” and not wanting to miss the opportunity. It says in the same words “you are not a promising character”. The comparison is the hurtful thing you don’t say out loud if you want to be respectful of someone’s feelings.
Having someone show their red flag this early warrants a “thank god” methinks. Also, “thank the flying spaghetti monster” is more like it.
The latter, that would kind of guarantee mankind didn’t destroy the planet. Could also mean I’ll be doomed to survive that long as a ghoul though…
Yeah, I was hesitant to encrypt backups for a long time, and now I have the problem that you can’t store backups of encryption headers on the encrypted device(s)
