A subpeana is a court order so that’s clear as mud.

I’m not sure how newsworthy this whole topic is

It’s right there in the first paragraph:

Apple will now require […] in a shift from the previous practice of accepting a subpoena to hand over data.

Wow! This is almost as useful as neofetch ;-)

Just reinstall :)

Copying back the files to the right partition/directory works, but if you didn’t backup the owner and permissions for each file it’s gonna be a pain to restore those.

After reinstalling, you can compare your new system with your backup to see what changes/configs you had made

Wow: they also go to great lengths to piss off their paying customers.

Anyway, I have no idea if it’s 1080p or not: I can say it looks ok on my phone’s screen, but IDK how to check what the video resolution is

You should be able to run Lineage on the shield (double check the specific model)… maybe you can try that and re-flash the stock OS if it doesn’t work for you.

That’s a great tip! I didn’t know lineage supported Android TV on SBCs

As for Netflix on Lineage: it does work (at least w/ microg - I just tried on my phone), but you won’t find the app in aurora store so you’ll have to source it on apkmirror or the like.

As much as I dislike Google spying on my relatives, I’d rather them be spied by Google than by some Chinese entity (BTW: their spying would probably not be on top of Google’s)

It’s closed-source AFAIK (also, not sure how it is privacy-wise)

You are 100% right: netflix not being open is less than ideal, both from a freedom standpoint and for the privacy implications of it.

However, my 70+yo relative does not care about FOSS or even about their own privacy for that matter… since I, however, do care about their privacy, I’d like to pragmatically find something that may be better than a chromecast privacy-wise, while not being so much worse (or radically different) from it that they’ll ask me to “put the old thingy back - I can’t use this nerdy shit” :)

Thanks: I tried it today and it works great!

I registered on their site (you can self-host too) and it looked promising, but then when I logged in in the app the workouts I had setup didn’t show up

Didn’t you know? Disabling ad blockers ensures free speech and apparently may also peacefully end the current crisis in the middle east… oh, did I mention it helps with world hunger too?

Documentation isn’t stellar IMHO: I end up reading the nixpkgs sources most often than not (it probably depends on what you are doing, though)

I wasn’t recommending OP to switch to an 80-character passphrase (see the very first sentence in my comment)… I was just showing that passphrases are about length and not about (real or perceived) randomness how difficult they are to memorize or type.

Also, if I may, one shouldn’t throw terms like “unbreakable” around: security is a game where you trade usability for resilience to attacks and what how much security is enough security depends on your specific circumstances and risk profile… absolute terms like “unbreakable” picture security as something different than the compromise it is and should be left to marketing people.

edit: (see correction above)

Move to the EU :)

That’s it! I love you, thanks!

Not sure what the issue is, but I hope this helps:

• Stuff added to home.sessionPath ends up in $HOME/.nix-profile/etc/profile.d/hm-session-vars.sh, which (in my system, at least) is referenced from ~/.profile.
• ~/.profile is only executed by login shells (ie. you have to logout and back in for it to be re-evaluated, or of course you can just source it)
• bash ignores ~/.profile if there is a ~/.bash_profile or ~/.bash_login (IIRC)

“You Know How To Scare Me Shitless” is 33 characters and a decent passphrase on its own.

Base64 brings the length to 44 characters, but you might be better off by just using a longer passwphrase (eg. “You know how to scare me shitless and you do it every day, dear student of mine!” is 80 characters long, not much more difficult to remember that the 33-char one and way easier to type than the 44-char base64 one).

All in all, IMHO base64 is not the best idea.

Yes, but you only really need one (the one that unlocks your password manager) and you’ll quickly learn to type that relatively fast.
