Why not encrypt your server? Or store the photos on an encrypted partition?

I have this dilemma.

> Why not encrypt your server?

I’d like to provide the service to my semi-extended family — not just me and my partner, but also my parents and siblings. And I respect their privacy, so I want to eliminate even the possibility of me, system administrator, accessing their photos.

I specifically care about my server getting stolen. You need Luks encryption in place for that, but also some clever password automation so you don’t type it in each time

How is this related to HN?

I think this is relevant to HN because the HN crowd understanding hyper-exposed themes better is a net positive.. So:

One of the very many supersad things in this: the Broadcaster weakened here (Kan), as the public broadcaster, has been one of the voices or resistance against the deranged government that, starting from a point of 100% sympathy after the Oct 7 attack, has managed to provoke the blowback seen here.

On-Topic: Anything that good hackers would find interesting. That includes more than hacking and startups. If you had to reduce it to a sentence, the answer might be: anything that gratifies one's intellectual curiosity.

Off-Topic: Most stories about politics, or crime, or sports, or celebrities, unless they're evidence of some interesting new phenomenon. Videos of pratfalls or disasters, or cute animal pictures. If they'd cover it on TV news, it's probably off-topic.

Cloudflare is down :p

I believe that in a day or two, the companies will address this and it would be solved by them for that use case

This is the first time I found out that she was credited. Thanks for that.

So strange that I haven’t seen global coverage of this crisis on a daily basis, or demonstrations for “Free Sudan” on campuses. If anyone has a theory about why this humanitarian disaster doesn’t receive the same attention as Gaza, which didn't have such events, please feel free to share.

> The AI tool Co-pilot is installed and enabled without consent. Removal is difficult or nonexistent.

As much as I agree with the article's general tone, uninstalling Copilot is actually quite straightforward and easy.

Windows 11 Pro is similar in not-including all the MS junk. The updates are another thing.

I'm always suspicious of a long list of affiliate links in one article.

As the author says: The post is 10 years old and updated and read millions of times. Why would you _not_ put referral links there? It's just a more direct form of advertisment.

I may be sceptic but showing that 50% of everything you own (99% of the price?) was made by Apple and as he said providing a long list of affiliate links doesn't make the author very believable

The energy savings are great, but it makes buildings super ugly. Why not putting them on roofs?

Balconies are private, roofs ain't.

As a non-US based customer, I can totally relate. Even though prime is not really applicable to me (in terms of free shipping, a small selection of the media libary, etc), I'm still getting pushed to try Prime each time I try to shop at Amazon.

The main problem is that unless it's a specific brand store, with products sold and shipped by Amazon, all the other products are pure junk. I can easily find them on AliExpress with much lower prices.
