    • RE: Apple plans to scan your images for child porn

      Ah, that's very different from what he said, completely.

      It's not? He said this:

      The scan results are private (until uploaded to iCloud).

      Which would be true if uploading photos to icloud is disabled and they aren't forcing you to back up photos with icloud. Those mean the same thing.

      Uploading photos to iCloud would be a different operation than uploading the scan results (which are not photos) to iCloud. Photo uploads are controlled by the end user, the scan uploads are not (as they have no setting in the OS.)

      It is the uploading of the scan results to iCloud that is the issue at hand. It's not a step along the way, it is the very problem. So "until" doesn't apply since that is the end result we are concerned about.

      Where do you see that? You're making assumptions. The scan results would have to include the photo. That doesn't make any sense. What is the human verification for if the photo isn't uploaded?

      Again, theae are all assumptions on your part about how this works. No one here knows how it works currently, so telling them they're wrong is infantile because you can't prove you're right.

      The whole thing is bad, but don't get into arguments about things that you can't possibly understand how they work yet.

      But the software doesn't have the ability. We're going round in circles.

      But it does, Apple themselves said that it does. It scans the whole device looking for whatever third party non-profits (and the government) tell it to search for. They could not possibly be more up front and clear about that. They aren't hiding this. You're claims don't seem to be that Apple won't do something bad, but that Apple is lying to make itself look bad. Why are you taking a stance that Apple is a good company, but lying? It's a very weird position to take without any reason to do so.

      You are saying that the government could force Apple to provide them with data held on my phone. Apple can't do this, they don't have access to the data that this software gets and holds privately on my phone. The scan results are private (until uploaded to iCloud). Apple simply don't have the means to access the scan results.

      That's my last post on this, I can't discuss with someone who just calls me weird.

      How do you know they don't? Because they said so? Lol. Apple explicitly stated that this software will upload results to iCloud, so there you have it. Conditions that trigger the upload are irrelevant at this point, the fact that it can upload anything is. Scott above explained perfectly that single warrant will force them to fork any data over.

      Right, and you said it there... THIS software initiates the upload to iCloud! That's like saying a mugger will never shoot you until they've pulled the trigger. Um, sure, you are just saying the same thing twice. If this software initiates the upload to iCloud, then of course they "never get your data until it connects", it's that very connection that we are discussing! Carnival might as well have said "but it never steals your data until it steals it!"

      Um.. duh.

      I don't want to get in the middle of this at all but what I think @Carnival-Boy is saying is that if you don't use icloud to backup photos, it won't be uploaded to icloud. They would have to force you to use icloud for it to work that way, so if they are then that answers the question. If you have the option to not use icloud, then it wouldn't ever be sent there.

      I think this is bad overall, but I believe that's his point.

      Kubeless years Bottle by default. This is great for simple use cases. However FastAPI offers a lot while still being minimal. I wrote a custom runtime for Kubeless using FastAPI. Here's a demo of that runtime.

      data=["WIPRO"]

      Should this not simply be

      data="WIPRO" ?

      i can do that,i am trying to download more companies like 50.So need to add through [] only

      In bash arrays are defined with parens, like data=("WIPRO"). Then you would need to loop over the items in the array. Something like

      for i in ${data[@]}; do
        nsecli history --symbol $i.....
      done

    • RE: Point of Sale System Recommendations, POS

      @wrcombs said in Point of Sale System Recommendations, POS:

      I've 'programmed' thousands of alcoholic drinks, different liquors, shots etc. into Aloha Systems

      If you have to develop code to add drinks into their systems, I'd rather not use the tool. That seems so over the top. Do they support a lot of languages? Seems limiting.

    • RE: Nginx Proxy Manager

      @jaredbusch said in Nginx Proxy Manager:

      @stacksofplates said in Nginx Proxy Manager:

      To be fair, I prefer to use nginx with k8s,

      I don't see the benefit to Kubernetes in the small shops.

      It genuinely makes things a lot easier. It's really easy to get up and running. Rancher makes federation really easy. Monitoring and central logging can be handled through a single helm chart. mTLS can also be handled through a single helm chart. Service discovery means your networking just works. Developing containerized apps is multiple times easier than developing legacy apps. 12 factor apps make setup easy.

      It's much easier than using config management/infrastructure automation to manage multiple vms.

    • RE: Nginx Proxy Manager

      @scottalanmiller said in Nginx Proxy Manager:

      @stacksofplates said in Nginx Proxy Manager:

      This seems to add a lot of complexity. Nginx configs can be complex but this abstraction in a database seems worse than writing the configs.

      I think you should practice using a config management tool or even terraform templates to generate the configs based on variables.

      And you have to set up a Docker environment, likely just for this one workload. Not the end of the world, but one additional layer in all of this. Just manage the configs, they are pretty easy.

      To be fair, I prefer to use nginx with k8s, but the nginx-ingress operator will auto generate configs based on whatever ingress you define for the cluster. It's really easy. It also works really well with cert-manager who will auto generate TLS certs with letsencrypt and external-dns will auto generate the DNS entries for you in your provider.

      The whole database thing to me is the biggest turn off. Backups become annoying at that point. With bare nginx you just need the configs, with kube you just need the ingress manifests.

      I also enjoy them. I love where I work and and def not underpaid, but I still think it's a nice gesture and makes you feel good when they show appreciation for it.

      I am not certain, but I think they would like to stay in the O365 realm. Though, I will make note of that...

      I mean you could do that in teams. It wasn't about the specific tool, more the format.

    • RE: Vagrant/DHCP problem

      Just for understanding, why Vagrant on the remote machine and not Terraform? Vagrant in my experience had been for local dev. Not saying it doesn't work and I thought I saw recently about remote systems with Vagrant, but terraform would most likely work much better.

      Since my ip is getting banned by fail2ban- I would think that they are.

      I’m down to getting winscp or FileZilla to connect, I finally can connect via ssh. Trouble with manually typing a 32 character complex pass.

      That's what keys are for.

      Or a password manager, lol.

      That is just it.

      I have and use a password manager. Same one on the Desktop as the phone. Even with auto-type it wasn't working. So - that "wasn't" the issue here.

      Why not just use keys? While it is still encrypted, when you use a password the password has to be sent to the remote system to verify. When using keys, the private key is never sent over the wire. So even a 500 character pass is still less secure than a simple ed25519 key that's only 80 characters in length.

      @gjacobse said in Nextcloud: unable to ssh or sftp:

      For whatever reason, I cannot ssh into my Nextcloud instance on Vultr using my desktop computer, nor can I sftp.

      I can connect via my cell phone (Termius) and the Vultr Console.

      I have ensured that the password does not contain any spaces or such. Since it continues to fail - I have needed to unban my IP address several times.

      I have ensure that the password being used is the password set by using sudo passwd on my cell phone...

      Any thoughts on why I am unable to ssh from one device but not another - both on the same network (home:Spectrum).

      Did you check the logs to see if the auth requests are hitting your box?

    • RE: Need MS Access app re-written to something else.

      This sounds like it easily could be done with something like an Arduino (or raspberry pi) to read the barcode and open the gate, and it would just send a POST request to some endpoint that would log in a database. That way the reader is decoupled from your database through a REST API, and you can use whatever language you like for the API interface.
