  • Also known as zombie files. If you are unlucky they can take up all space on a drive, or even tmpfs (so your ram) and you can’t easily find them. At least until you end the right process or restart.
    Had that happen once and had to write my own script to trace it to the log of an open terminal emulator tab that had billions of lines.






  • If you have a million stolen licenses, but on the road remain very few, say 1k. While there are say 100m other cars. If you now have 99% accuracy, you will read 990 stolen cars, and misread 1m plates. Since 1% of plates are stolen, you randomly hit 10k of those misreads into a stolen plate.

    This is generally alwayd an issue with rolling out mass tests. If the thing you search is even rarer than your failure rate, most detections are errors no matter how good your test.

    This is why we don’t just test everyone for diseases all the time even when it would be very cheap and simple.



  • This. Aegis does all of the points except offsite backups. And for good reason.
    The Aegis app has no network permissions at all, which is obviously a massive boost for security and privacy. And besides, off-device backuping is a nightmare.

    Syncing the Aegis backups made on change to some other server is better handled by a great dedicated app. Syncthing is the best such program (by far), though for the few files involved here nextcloud would work just as well.
