  • It’s available but not flourishing last I checked. Just to be clear I’m not denigrating it at all, I desperatelywant it to flourish. I pay for nebula, too, as well as patreon for many of my preferred creators, in the hopes that they can explore alternatives to YouTube. Hell, I pay for floatplane and dropout too, as much as I hate the fractured environment it’s creating, I want the most direct way to support the content I watch, but YouTube is almost certainly still my most watched platform






  • It certainly is. ISO 27001 is a framework, not very prescriptive at all. Basically an auditor will ask “how do you ensure data isn’t leaving your facility in the form of discarded hardware?” If you say “here’s a link to our media destruction policy. It says all drives are wiped according to NIST 800-88 cryptographic erasure. If that is not possible or not applicable, the drive is destroyed. Here’s our log of decomissioned equipment” chances are very good they’ll say “OK great let’s move on to the next one” with only minor followup questions.







  • Digital millennium copyright act. It effectively moved the burden of proof for copyright infringement from the copyright owner to the accused, short-circuiting the existing IP laws, among other things.

    It is where much of the drama around copyright online stems from. It’s used as a way to quickly stifle anything someone posts that’s something you don’t like.

    It made circumventing DRM itself illegal, even if you’re not breaking copyright by doing so (even if it’s for your own research or backups).




  • I know one of the advantages of mirrorless is the potentially shorter lens flange distance, so changing the lens mount makes some sense. But couldn’t there be a passive adapter (with wired passthrough) similar to a macro tube to use the old lenses? Maybe there is idfk.

    I expect mirrorless to continue to grow (at least with respect to DSLRs), and frankly I’m happy with that.

    As far as changing brands goes, I agree with that. There are a fair few good options in the mirrorless space and I daresay most of them aren’t canon


  • Personal preference: Jellyfin instead of plex

    Some that I run that you don’t seem to have anything for:

    • Lancache (if you have several gaming PCs on the network or host any kind of lan party)
    • surveillance camera software e.g. shinobi
    • I see grafana, but other monitoring services like icinga, librenms, etc
    • Mayan EDMS - I’ve found this really helpful as anything I get in the mail, I scan in, and this makes it all searchable and retrievable.
    • There’s a whole hole you could dig if you start getting into home automation (I use home assistant)
