1) podman volume create (and use that volume in the container)
2) do not specify a volume (allowing postgres to write to its own data directory i the container)

The results for both approaches are the same.

I didn't try creating an external bind mount to a Windows directory as I read many articles concluding that this is slow.
If you have to ask....
> When the crypto crowd complains about PGP being obsolete, they don’t just knock PGP, they very often mention alternatives

Those alternatives have different use cases compared to (open)PGP. So, Moxie said GPG is too complicated? If Signal goes down, how long will it take you to spin up your instance of server and clients, ready for delivery? How much would cost running reliably that infra? For email and GPG, I can get everything in 15-20 minutes, including registering the DNS name, DKIM, and SPF. I can also sign documents, images, and invoices with GPG; in short, I can do business. What can I do with Signal: chat, send nice emojis, and make calls?

Proper security and encryption isn't a toy, and let's not kid ourselves by skinning apps with shiny buttons and cool claims that everything people have done before sucks.

From a computing perspective, this kind of makes sense. Japan uses NTSC and 60 hertz electricity, while Europe uses PAL and 50 hertz. Any game they release in Europe would have to be somewhat "ported" to run on the different timings without it causing weird bugs. If it barely sold in the US, it might have been "too Japanese to make sense to non-Japanese people" and they just suspended the European launch.

Tell HN: Clevo computer not processing orders
just a heads-up before others get bitten. I ordered a laptop from CLEVO which is the company that supplies a bunch of other "famous" brands (System76, Tuxedo computers, etc) but you can order also directly.

I wired the money as per instructions, immediately however in their shop it says the machine is still "awaiting payment processing".

While I've been waiting over 1 month now for my order I was getting worried so started reaching out to the support but they are non-responsive (phone, email, nobody even picks up).

Their google reviews indicate I'm not the only one who is not getting their deliveries and nearly all comments from the past months are 1-star with the same problem. Would welcome suggestions because I spent a lot of money that I saved up for a long time.

"Blacks" is a term with very little basis in genetics. What do you think the bioweapon will target?

"Jews" is less diverse, but it's not like there's a single "I am Jewish" marker. Just look at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Genetic_studies_on_Jews to see how difficult is it, with overlaps to other populations, and the need to correlate multiple haplogroups. How do you put all that detection machinery into a bioweapon?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Uyghurs suggest there are similar issues with Uyghurs - what will the bioweapon target if "the average genetic ancestry of Uyghurs is 63.7% East Asian-related and 36.3% European-related"?

And how do you prevent the bioweapon from mutating that specificity away?

Got it:

"There's a technical issue with email encryption, but we have a solution: don't use email! instead, use this different protocol, that doesn't work with email clients or email addresses, but instead uses a telephone number as an identifier!"

I've never tried Signal, because I don't want my telephone number used as my identifier.

A bug in email encryption can be fixed by fixing the bug; proposing a completely different protocol/application isn't fixing that bug, it's just saying that this other protocol/application doesn't have the same bug. It's not a solution; at least, not for me.

I'm looking to improve my documents syncing setup. Currently I'm using owncloud, but that seems overkill for just files syncing and it requires maintenance, so I gave Syncthing a look. The "Untrusted device encryption" was not appealing to me because I'm not convinced by the security aspects yet, and also because it is in beta for now. I used gocryptfs [1] in the past and was quite happy with it, so I'm planning to use it on top of Syncthing to have files synced encrypted. As far as I have read this setup (Syncthing + gocryptfs) seems to be used by several people and has already been discussed by gocryptfs' author, who recommended a `-sharedstorage` flag for such use case [2]. Reading [3] I think gocryptfs is more suited for files syncing than cryfs. I'm aware that the metadata (file size, structure, …) of my files are not encrypted but that's a compromise I'm ready to make.

I would be happy to hear about opinions about this approach.

Always buy and own gold (in decreasing priority):

(1) Physically in your custody in a secure place. Not always possible, e.g. digital nomad.

(2) Physical at a bullion dealer in a westernized country with a vaulting service that records your private ownership, so it is owned by you as property, in their custody, with a daily audit with your name on it, not as a financial liability of the vaulting company - i.e. outside the banking system, and not in a safe-deposit vault that restricts liability for precious metals.

(3) A financial instrument in a westernized country tied to audited physical holdings, e.g. Sprott Physical Gold, not GLD ETF, which is just manipulated paper fiction.

No other option - except perhaps some gold jewelry, which is not really secure, but can easily be worn when crossing borders (usually up to $10k without declaration, and above $10k is often easy, except at times of national panic/emergency/reset, whether real, imagined or fabricated to steal your gold).

Also be very careful about T&Cs for funding (2) & (3) through a joint account, even if your gold account is in your name only. If you get divorced, you may find that your ex owns half your gold, independent of any settlement, and ignoring any routing of the money from your pre-marriage wealth into your single-named gold account.

Or maybe it's people misinterpretation of the word autopilot?

Even in aviation it doesn't mean no human operator.

>An autopilot is a system used to control the path of an aircraft, marine craft or spacecraft without requiring constant manual control by a human operator. Autopilots do not replace human operators. Instead, the autopilot assists the operator's control of the vehicle, allowing the operator to focus on broader aspects of operations (for example, monitoring the trajectory, weather and on-board systems).[1]

> I am not particularly ideological about copyright/piracy one way or another, but I know I probably won't be pirating music anytime soon.

And yet, if musicians being able to pay the bills is your concern, saving what you pay to spotify and buying a few albums on bandcamp instead is possibly the way to go.

From https://neurodifferent.me/@clowncollege/109994297731928004 :

> I've been a professional musician since the end days of selling CDs, and I would like to say that having experienced the decline of CD sales because of piracy transition into the paid streaming era it's unambiguous that musicians were better off when mostly everyone was pirating and then some people bought CDs or other merch out of a desire to support vs today when everyone pays a nominal fee to a corporation that pays us nothing and also satisfies their desire to support despite not actually offering support.

Not entirely sure what time reflection is, but I'm pretty sure it doesn't mean anything related to anything going backward in time. Here I think it's explained better https://spectrum.ieee.org/time-reversal-interface

Edit: Now that I've read a bit more, it seems to me this is just reflecting light back but "all at once". Like if a light signal were a train going right and the first wagon is A (>>>[D][C][B][A]>>>), a normal mirror would make it bounce and the train would go back going left and wagon A arrives first (<<<[A][B][C][D]<<<). A """time reflection""" would make the train return backwards and wagon D arrives first like this (<<<[D][C][B][A]<<<). I understand it is like reflecting each wagon at the same time so the train comes back reversed. This looks cool but I think the article deliberatively makes it confusing so it sound like the movie TENET when it starts talking about entropy

Apparently in FB Messenger, conversations will still be stored in the cloud, albeit encrypted:

> Messenger has always allowed clients to operate off of a small stored local cache, relying on a server-side database for their message history. Neither WhatsApp nor Secret Conversations operated in this manner, and we didn’t want all users to have to rely on a device-side storage system. Instead, we designed an entirely new encrypted storage system called Labyrinth, with ciphertexts uploaded to our servers and loaded on-demand by clients, while operating in a multi-device manner and supporting key rotation when clients are removed.
