  • You are correct, my concern with it isn’t retrieving the data however, its the possibility that if the person involved had the means to, they could have a table of check-sums of files of interest. This system could be used to confirm or deny a file of interest is present on the device.

    For the everyday person this is a non-issue, but from a privacy POV you should not be able to get any information in regards to what a file is.

    Rainbow tables for password cracking works off a similar system, they take a bunch of commonly used passwords, hash them and compare them to leaked databases. If the hash matches an account you have the password. Most password handlers get around this by salting it, and hashing it repeatedly X amount of times, but I doubt that apple would do that for a checksum(and regardless they would know X and how it was made).

    Again though I acknowledge that it’s a paranoia level concern, but I still am firm that a true encryption solution should not be able to get any type of info out of it that may help the third party.

    Strangely it sounds like that’s correct. I was under the understanding that depends_on cared about it past start as well but it does not. It doesn’t look like there’s a native way of turning containers that are depending on one another when you turn the dependency off. It looks like the current recommended way of doing it is either with a Docker compose file (which doesn’t help if the process crashed/was concidered unhealthy), or having a third party script on the host monitor the dependencies and if one is considered offline, it turns the dependees off.

    Looking into it the concern has been approached twice now on the GitHub page, however every time that it’s been brought up it’s been closed for stale because nobody ever replies to the question


  • It’s important to note here that even if you turn on this option, Apple does not support full end-to-end encryption, there are still multiple factors that they keep under standard data protection which means they still have the encryption keys. They keep this under the guise of deduplication so they can save on storage costs but some examples of this are:

    • the apps+file formats you have installed
    • your phone’s make model and serial number
    • most metadata that defines what an item represents such as date time modification time
    • all file checksums (this is scary imo)

    They explain how everything with their encryption works here

    I’ve never heard of komodo, I’ve heard a lot about Watchtower but I found it more annoying to set up due to its labeling systems. Is there any added benefit for Komodo over using a standard watch tower setup?

    I haven’t set up either of them, but my main concern is having a breaking change be automatically updated

    I’ve never used true nass, but I’ve never had any issue with keeping up with releases. I use a proxmox host with Debian containers mostly, and then I use ansible to do any major changes to the hosts such as replacing certificates or upgrading the packages

    Being said my backup structure isn’t the most professional, I have a 8 TB external drive that I keep plugged in via USB and I have proxmox backup server on the same host and it creates backups nightly




  • And it’s always the sites that you want to have apps that don’t. For example I use twitch daily, there are days where I don’t even open up a web browser aside from just to watch twitch.

    My current work around is I have an electron app that I’ve coded which is essentially for now just a wrapper of the twitch websites follow page and built in user script functionality to have frankenzface. But the fact that twitch discontinued their native app is obnoxious to me.

    Every other video website under the moon has an app, but for some reason twitch can’t manage to do this







  • There’s an easy solution for that.

    F em.

    I did that back in 2015 when I moved to discord for my primary social platform. “I am am leaving Skype and Facebook, anyone who wants to reach me can do so at discordname

    Did all my friends move? No, did I lose anything of value doing so anyway? Also no. The people who still wanted to message me either reached out to my family or myself for a phone number, or added me on discord.

    You don’t need all your friends to follow, what you need is enough people to leave the platform anyway that more people use that than other platforms in your friend group. That’s why Skype died as fast as it did, a combination of instability and enough people deciding they didn’t care who they left behind and just went to discord anyway.
