I love that it's also got build instructions for Windows and macOS

It's ridiculous, its enabled by default on any new device you set up and sign in to. I could have missed turning off iCloud on my iMac, but I didn't have any problems before updating it, and then after I updated it I had iCloud full notifications, so I'm pretty sure it was off.

I'm gonna be honest, for Vaultwarden I don't. However, a local cached copy of the vault exists on all my devices that are signed in via the official Bitwarden client, and I have recovered using this method before, so that's my backup strategy.

I was feeling smug that being on LineageOS and now GrapheneOS for almost a decade I've never seen this.

..then I remembered my fucking iMac seemed to turn on iCloud photo backup last week after updating and next thing I know all the obsolete iPads I get from work are telling me how my iCloud storage is full

Seriously this iCloud shit is on by default, predatory ass tech companies. I'm pretty sure I disabled it on that iMac but it's so possible that my own device can gaslight me that I'm left unsure. It's off now and I spent an afternoon removing all those photos.

Just my 2c while taking a shit, I think if the bot just printed the direct name of the news source ("Sky News Australia", "CNN", " The Guardian") and additionally said "This is the automatically detected source of this news. Please consider replying to this comment with a better source if you think one exists"

It makes it clear there's zero bias and encourages conversation with other users here. It also is a reminder in case you might be skimming past and miss the domain it's from, and you personally can judge "Oh, that's what I think is a reputable source", "Oh, it's those wankers, this is garbage" or "I haven't heard of that source before, I'll be skeptical" as some examples

I just double checked and I have TOTP enabled for my PayPal account so it should be an option.

I just found this support article of theirs and it says it can only be enabled through their website and not through the app (why?!) so you might be running into that?

Yeah, I probably would have gone with that solution if I knew about it at the time, but now that I have Vaultwarden I'm pretty happy with it.

I ran into the same issue, I didn't want to use a cloud password manager because entrusting literally every password I have to a third party and on the internet sounds absurd to me. KeePass seemed like a good idea for me, but at the time I fell back to syncing the vault by sending it to myself in Telegram any time I made a change. Certainly not ideal

I now just have an RPi self hosting Vaultwarden with Tailscale, and for me that's been the best solution that keeps me happy; it's more secure as someone needs to compromise my Tailnet first, it's not public facing, I'm not trusting a third party to not lose my vault (a la LastPass), but its still convenient.

Aren't IDE drives basically the only thing that used the master/slave terminology?

?!?! Isn't Sky News a Murdoch run news org? I know the aus one is very right leaning

Decided to bring out my Windows laptop, down votes to the right.

submitted 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago) by JustARegularNerd@lemmy.world to c/linux@lemmy.ml

I have an older Intel laptop that has a 1600x900 display, and I find that if I put the machine to sleep, connect an external monitor with a higher resolution, and then turn it back on, the login screen doesn't adjust to the new resolution and it reveals what I had open (see photo).

However, I'm not that familiar with Linux Mint (even though I've daily driven Linux for nearly 10 years, I very casually use LMDE) and I'm not sure if this is a Cinnamon problem or if the lock screen is under a different program.

Looking at Linux Mint's webpage on reporting a bug (https://projects.linuxmint.com/reporting-an-issue.html) they seem to mostly use Cinnamon as an example, but I don't want to report this issue as a Cinnamon issue if it's the wrong project.

In case this is platform specific, my device's details are below:

  • Host: Dell Latitude E6420
  • CPU: Intel Core i7-2630QM (Sandy Bridge)
  • GPU: Intel 2nd Generation Core Processor Family
  • Kernel: 6.1.0-21-amd64
  • DE: Cinnamon 6.0.4
  • WM: Mutter (Muffin)
  • Display Server: X11

I've never filed a bug report in my life before, usually I just put up with the issue until it's eventually fixed, but I feel this is a moderate security issue that should be flagged.
