For example I might store blobs of data processed by my database in files that have the Base64 ID of the blob as the filename. If the filesystem was case insensitive, I’d be getting collisions.
Users probably don’t make such files, no. But 99% of files on a computer weren’t created by the user, but are part of some software, where it may matter.
And often software originally written for Linux or macOS and then ported to Windows ends up having problems due to this.
They were used as example heuristics by Google marketing when they launched the checkbox reCaptcha. They were just simple to understand things for marketing purposes, but in reality Google checks many different signals and isn’t based on mouse movements. But people keep repeating the example from the ad.
So is a “cloud server”.
No, the black line is EVE Online. There could have been an edit replacing it with Dwarf Fortress, but the original is definitely about EVE Online.
Yeah, and when you do, it’s because you don’t like things about the original, and here people are saying what they don’t like.
Nobody disagrees that you can choose something else, but that’s not a reason to be uncritical.
If you are comfortable with a cli you could use gnupg. Its man page is good.
If I have cloud storage mounted somewhere I need to be able to drag and drop directories in and out, see the files inside in an unencrypted form, and they should transparently be uploaded encrypted. This could very well be achieved by a bunch of scripts involving gnupg, but then that’s what’s I’m looking for, because gnupg by itself wouldn’t be productive to use unless as a one-off.
This seems promising: https://szymonkrajewski.pl/encrypted-cloud-drive-rclone/
What tool would you recommend for that?
Wow finally. I remember when I moved to Notepad++ a decade ago when I still used Windows, to get that behaviour. Being able to close it without losing all the open tabs was a game changer.
oh so now we’re right back around at time zones again, wonderful.
Pretty much. Shows how it wouldn’t actually help a lot. It’s making one thing simpler while making other things more complex. It’s interesting to think about new problems it would bring and how would they be dealt with. And how much worse the solutions would be than the current problems.
What time is it in Melbourne?
“The Standard Time is 4:05. The time of day is equivalent to 14:15 in your location.”
Wasn’t that hard to solve. And it’s actually more precise, since it incorporates the changing times of sunrise and sundown.
KDE Gear is the overall name for the suite of the “core” KDE programs, like the file manager, console, image viewer, etc.
Yeah, I’m explaining the meme, not agreeing with it.
Of course it makes sense, the code does pretty much nothing. The point is that the tutorial does not teach you about how to remove a background. It’s like a “how to cook X” article that just tells you to “order X online” and that’s it.
An often repeated urban legend that has no basis in reality. Software checking the version of Windows gets “6.1” for Windows 7 and “6.2” for Windows 8. The marketing name doesn’t matter and is different.
Forcing the icon from the .desktop file seems stupid, every window could need a different icon (e.g. contact list window and chat windows of an IM app, or browser windows using the website favicon)…
Or it was an issue with code generation, or something in the environment changed.
Since it’s end to end encrypted, Ente just sees some raw bytes, it has no way to tell if what you uploaded is an image or not. So in practice it supports whatever the client can display, so your browser for the web version.
