Finally moved family off Google Photos to Immich on a closet Optiplex 7040 — almost lost a month of kid photos in January

I did something similar. My db-backups were corrupted on creation (I had no idea, the disk had partial disk corruption), and this went on for a few months before the entire disk gave up.

Since both the server and the backups were corrupted I lost my 3 year old Matrix server + a few websites and services xD

That was not a fun week :)

TLDR: Test your backups once in a while

Do I belong in tech anymore? - On quitting, the spread of AI, and the loss of an ideal.

You join a meeting with a coworker. Your coworker has enabled an AI tool to automatically take notes and summarize the meeting. They do not ask for consent to turn it on. The tool mischaracterizes what you discuss.

I just had a Teams meeting where a business partner added their AI assistant to the call and said that it would record audio/video for training purposes.

They didn't ask for permission or anything, just joined and turned it on. Like wtf? Where does it store the data? What is it used for?

If I wasn't forced to attend I would have left then and there.

krypt - terminal password manager (tui)

"Brute force protection — max 5 failed unlock attempts; vault destroyed on limit"

No way that can end bad xd

Isn't the point of password managers that the encryption is so difficult to break that you don't need these "safety" measures?

Just clone the vault files before brute forcing?
