  • The author surely likes that the mascot is a dog. It feels more of a read and analysis of the terms of use than a deep dive of the tool but it was a good reading and I liked the suggestions.

    I also liked the “reminder”.

    Edit: you should share this in some community as a post, every time I see this kind of website (pure content no-nonsense) it is shared is in the comments. 15 years ago this kind of stuff was easy to find, but nowadays, I only see them in comment sections. Even the search engine recommended around here would list a bunch of junk in the first pages.


  • From ground news summary:

    • Brazilian police arrested a man and a teenager on May 3, 2025, foiling a bomb plot targeting Lady Gaga’s concert in Rio de Janeiro.
    • Authorities uncovered the plot after identifying an online group spreading hate speech, radicalizing teenagers, and encouraging self-harm.
    • Authorities conducted raids at nine sites across multiple Brazilian states such as Rio de Janeiro and São Paulo, confiscating electronic equipment and other items connected to the planned bombing.
    • Around 2.1 million people attended the free concert on Copacabana Beach, which aimed to boost the local economy and drew 500,000 tourists.
    • The arrests prevented a potentially large-scale attack involving improvised explosives, highlighting authorities’ efforts against extremist online networks.

    What the ground news summary did not describe that most publications seem to list are:

    • The Brazilian federal police was already investigating other groups like this
    • Authorities suspect the group was targeting the LGBTQ+ community.
    • The arrested teenager was in possession of child sexual abuse material, and was charged on that.
    • Another member of the group (not sure if he was charged) had religious motivations.

  • Depends on the threat model and how long do you need the data.

    Worked on a place long ago, that anything they needed to save offline from more than a few decades where stored in microfilm, the expectancy there where they would last 80 to 100 years.

    Anything else was pretty much tape.

    You also take in account the technology avaiability. The more complex is to use, harder will it be to reproduce in the future. Even with tapes, you might want to copy the data to another tape/recorder every decade or two, to keep it on par with the technology.


  • I am not sure if you replied to the wrong thread, good for you that it works for your needs, but

    My point is that GOG did not drop Linux support and instead partnered with another company. Not about the quality of the software.

    1. Gog waning Linux support is completely unrelated to Heroic
    2. Gog did not seek partnership
    3. Heroic devs just applied to a program that anyone can apply to.

    That said, it is shady to inject links and not notify it on the release note or change log. I think there was a message on their mastodon at some point, and the implementation crashed for some people with more restrictive firewall on their network, there were some discussions on the issues page of their code repository.
