While you’re right conceptually, this isn’t what the wording means in terms of consent dialogs. Legitimate interest means they can assume, legitimately, that you have an interest in aspects of the site (by you being there) that require X cookies, basically. Ie their product is providing functionality they can assume you’re interested in just by being there, and they’re “pre approving” the tracking/storage for that functionality.

I concur that it’s rubbish and used almost always in a manner that reeks of illegitimacy.

It sucks but a cheap USB sound blaster would work fine here…

Who the fuck is Ana de Arm? /s

I must be in like some weird alternate reality because my boss recognises that the office is a distraction, and doesn’t go there often himself. We go there very seldomly, primarily to catch up with colleagues, but not to work on our tasks.

I get maybe 15-20% of my normal work done at the office.

Granted this might increase over time if I came in regularly but it’d never touch how productive I am at home. This rhetoric about losing productivity working from home is dangerous and bullshit.

Veracrypt and use a hidden encrypted partition so you have plausible deniability. Remove the app after. If it’s encrypted it’ll be fine so long as it doesn’t look obvious.

I’ve never heard of border guards checking devices, ever… and definitely not randomly. If you’re paranoid the cloud is a safer option of course, as others have said. Backblaze is great for cost etc… but definitely encrypt before upload imo.

Absolutely goddamn pitiful. Fuck Reddit.

I run a second Unraid server with a couple of backup-related applications, as well as Duplicati. I have my main server network mounted and run scheduled jobs to both copy data from the main pool to the backup pool, as well as to Backblaze. Nice having the on-site backup as well as the cloud based.

I occasionally burn to 100gb blurays as well for the physical backup.

Exactly. You’re being fed HTML etc and then deciding how to render it (or part of it in the case of ad blocking). This isn’t piracy. There’s no rules that come with the HTML in terms of how to render it. Different browsers can render it a number of different ways so how is not rendering part of it any different?

It is indeed a ludicrous idea.

I’ve used it for years, it’s solid. Mostly good quality and some very reliable uploaders.

I’d highly recommend these - they’re not all strictly electronic but I feel there’s overlap at least:

• Sasha - Scene Delete
• Jon Hopkins - Immunity
• Daniel Avery - Drone Logic
• Bonobo - Black Sands
• BT - This Binary Universe
• Boards of Canada - Tomorrow’s Harvest
• Hugo Kant - Far From Home
• Bicep - Bicep
• Sub Focus - Sub Focus

Bonobo spans genres but he’s probably my favourite artist right now. His Late Night Tales entry (not electronic) was one of the best albums I’ve ever heard.

Yes! His “Selected ambient works” are out of this world!

I second BT here… most of his albums are great imo. I like all of them but currently loving “_”

Wasn’t lemmy created by tankies? Avoided it for kbin (I’m aware of the federation) due to this.
