Borg + hetzner backup storage (that supports Borg and rsync but I use Borg so my backups are encrypted)

Time for you is relative to your movement. You experience time because shit is moving inside of you. By shit I mean each particular atoms that build your body.

If you'd be close to a light speed, entirety of you would move in that speed. So for yourself the time is normal. One second is one second.

For someone observing you from earth, you'd blast the universe and after an hour you wouldn't be visible any more.

For you tho, it's not even a second.

Time is movement. No movement no time. If something moves then also time changes. If all your atoms would stop now you wouldn't get older. Also you wouldn't think any more and you wouldn't notice any time.

Ps. I was at the same state as you some year ago. I've spent several hours absorbing this topic and eventually it clicked. Take your time.

I think there’s some „reasonable” keyword in the right to be forgotten. Like first if you have some old backups on tapes and you must keep them for whatever reason still for few years m, you can deny altering them if it the cost would be exorbitant and you ensure the users won’t come back after a recovery from said backup.

Also they might train their models on pseudo-anonymized dataset so as long it’s too expensive to deanonymize the user data it could be fine in terms of GDPR.

For example: you generate car trips stats per city in a country, per day. You could argue that you don’t need to delete user data that is part of this set if you ensure there are always enough of trips recorded (so can’t deanonymise someone from a single entry) and also it would falsify your historical stats.

At my company who likes to be super compliant we do remove people from this kind of stats using some pseudo-anonymous references. So if you remove your account, there’s an event that changes the historical analytics data and removes all traces of your activity. But that’s because we can and want to be cool (company culture principles).

Other data we have (website analytics) are impossible to go into this process as we ensure we never know WHO did something. We only know what and when.

Thing is there’s somehow not much coverage on this topic in the media. I only got our internal corporate documents because at our place we’re preparing for it for months already. Its not that easy to invite third parties to a big piece of your cloud iot setup.

EDIT: here is longer but good source. The law came into power somewhere last year but companies had some extra time to prepare their shit which times out September 12

Soon this all will be much easier. From 12 of September we’re going into a new world of EU Data Act that forces all companies to allow third parties to communicate with iot devices. Which a car is.

So soon Mazda will need to provide those APIs in an official way.

With this kind of problems there are always two solutions: one is pragmatic, one is wishful thinking.

Problem: people leave boxes in the room.

Pragmatic solution: give them a trash can that’s easy to use.

Wishful thinking: slap a sign that tells them to stop.

Germany needs more pragmatic solutions in general.

Damn am i the only one who knows that meme comes from "culture gene"?

 

One thing I missed from my iPhone that was not really possible was to pay with a phone that runs Lineageos.

That has changed now since PayPal seems to finally offer a mastercard payments with NFC. And it works just fine on LINEAGEOS.

Jusf posting it here to everyone who are still carrying their other phones due to lack of possibly to pay easily with a phone.

Looks like it is an actual LanguageTool server so it uses all the clients from them. They have tons of integrations that help a lot.

Source: using 3 languages every day while one of them I’m still shit and need this tool to not look like an idiot with no grammar

That’s exactly what they announced the day they started the invasion. Bibi said they will put an Israeli flag on top of Gaza rubbles.

I’m always amazed how all the democratic world never believes autocrats when they say what they just about to do.

Naaah. They are already pretty well off on enterprise and pretty expensive for the others.

Allegro is not a second hand market for like a decade. For second hand you go to olx.pl

 

I've been testing Jottacloud, aiming to find a replacement for my family iCloud setup.

I didn't find quite that, but I did find a true gem with a well-designed CLI tool for niche platforms, Apple TV app and overall good vibes.

Highly recommend them, and if you want to read more about my experience so far, and how I enjoyed talking to a support first time in years, please read the blog post.
