I have daily Borg backups held for at least one year but the problem is that the issue came out at least two weeks ago and nobody noticed. It’s better to have nothing (customer gets error page when viewing useless survey that nobody is watching) rather to restore such a old backup (everyone loses 2-4 weeks of data)

They’re releasing a new version every two month or so and dropping them rapidly from support, pinning it with a tag means that in 12 months the install would be exploitable.

Now, I did directly to production because this is low priority stuff, but it would have happened even with a testing stage. I would have never noticed that the forms apps was disabled, the system disabled it without any notification.

You would expect that an official app supports the latest release, no?

This wasn’t an app released by a nobody in their free time, this is a main feature heavily advertised in their blog. Look by yourself:

https://nextcloud.com/blog/nextcloud-forms-to-keep-your-surveys-private/

It’s not unreasonable to get pissed when 6 months after that blog post it doesn’t support the latest release anymore.

I wiped a whole drive (luckily it was filled with a redundant backup) with the docker image, as the behavior was (or still is, don’t know if it was fixed) to rm -rf . and replace with fresh stuff if occ isn’t found. So in the docker compose I accidentally mistyped the wrong volume as /mnt/disk2 instead of /mnt/disk3 and it erased it

Yes no staging because it’s something used at most by 2 concurrent users, we were ok with 95% reliability (we discovered it was disabled after at least two weeks lol)

Otherwise we would just have signed up to one of the many cloud forms sites at $100/year

Backups daily but it’s unthinkable to revert something like nextcloud to a months old one

Subscribed to both newsletter and RSS feed to know about issues (the command to update the docker images isn’t automated but manually issued). The maintainer of the forms app is nextcloud itself so any incompatibility should have been written in red bold characters in the blog posts and newsletter.

I was expecting something like $15 to deter script kiddies that are following outdated/misleading/incomplete YouTube flashing tutorials and will end with a brick but $200???

It’s a giant “FUCK YOU” to the paying customer. If it was me, I’d flip the phone on eBay and never ever buy anything from Asus anymore

They could ask help from their north Korean buddies

You mean the one that used to be called tomato? (Forgot how it’s called now)

It never gave me any image that was bigger than 1000 pixel in width. I could get a very similar result with the Google images thumbnail + waifu2x

I never had them working, the result that they were giving was a very low quality image. Like if they just downloaded the free thumbnail and passed it through waifu2x

Fuck Zynga, but “Method for presenting advertising in an interactive service” is clearly an invalid patent even if it was applied 20 years ago

It should be possible to patent only real stuff, not broad concepts that can be applied to everything

Israel is sowing the seeds of revenge in the Palestinian population.

The list of desperate persons that don’t have anything to lose anymore is growing rapidly

If you make a backup with a tool like Borg that creates encrypted archives, then using AWS S3 glacier is the cheapest.

What’s bad about it: if you ever need those files again, it’s going to be VERY expensive to download them again, so it has to be treated as the “what if a nuke hits my city and all the local and off-site backups are vaporized” solution

Also: it’s not recommended to directly host plain files, they need to be in an archive format with big chunks, as the API calls that are used to list them during sync are counted in a very expensive way

The main advantage of using custom silicon is that you can decide the naming and so you deceive users that the minor 0.1 update is a full generation advance

Kinda like I saw someone saying “apple skipped A17 for the iPhone 16 and gave the faster A18” - they’re in charge of the naming and they can easily decide that A18 = A17

Technically, yes, but I’m a bit lazy. If I can overengineer a workaround…

Yes my cylinder isn’t compatible, it won’t allow inserting a key from the other side. But I saw they sell a replacement one for 100 euro

Not being internet connected isn’t the end of the world, but that hidden expensive in-app purchase is really scammy because you would only notice that after you bought the device, after installation and probably even after the return window. All YouTube reviewers got the pro model, which doesn’t have this artificial limitation. If I didn’t watch that video, I would noticed that after years (I don’t have enough matter/thread devices to justify the purchase of a hub yet)

And also the door opening sensor isn’t included in the box but of course YouTube reviewers are showing it as part of the kit because they got all included. And the product page doesn’t specify that explicitly.

Searched the user manual in PDF to learn more about the product, it’s 4 sentences that explain absolutely nothing

So in the end I wanted the base model over the pro because for me having 4 AAs instead of a “proprietary” battery pack (4 AAs in a custom plastic shell) is much better and giving direct full internet access to the door lock via WiFi is too scary… but between the missing opening sensor, the IAP, the build quality, I think I will choose another one

Nice this looks compatibile, except for the open sensor, my door has an ultra thick frame and it’s only possible to install it at 12 cm, while the guide says 4 cm max. Does it really need it?

Thanks for the link, in that thread I found two promising products, Nuki and tedee.

One is small and stylish but uses a tiny expensive single use battery, the other is plasticly and bulky but uses 4 standard AAs

I’ll check specs carefully to see if they have enough torque

Edit: the 190 euro Nuki lock is advertised as “matter/thread compatible” but you need to pay a 50 euro in-app purchase in order to enable it. This is not stated anywhere, including the user manual, website and support faq. I discovered that from a YouTube review

There are so many burglars here that this kind of door is the standard in any apartment

When you close it, it’s not possible* to open it again from outside

* = only the triangular piece engages, so a professional can unlock it from outside by using a thin sheet of steel

I thought I had keys in my pocket, instead it was a different bunch. The keys were inserted in the socket from the inside, it doesn’t allow to insert the key from the other side, so I couldn’t use the backup pair that I keep in a separate location

Ah maybe I was missing the ./ , it said garage not found on path (on mobile, can’t try)
