I thought of something similar, but that again doesn’t save me from having to plug in the disks one by one.

I just plug all disks in my server, then run the following script to get the mapping GPTID -> partition -> disk serial:

#!/bin/sh

glabel status | awk '/^gptid/ { print $1, $3 }' | while read -r gptid part; do
        disk="/dev/${part%p*}"
        serial="$(smartctl -i "$disk" | awk '/^Serial Number:/ { print $3 }')"
        printf '%s\t%s\t%s\n' "$gptid" "$part" "$serial"
done

Then, when a disk fails, I just check with zpool status which one is unavailable or completely missing, and see to which serial it corresponds in the previously stored output of the above script.

This script is for FreeBSD and assumes you add disks using their GPTID in your ZFS pool (default on TrueNAS), but it can easily be adapted to Linux with a mix of lsblk --nodeps -o +WWN,SERIAL and the symlinks in /dev/disk/by-id/.

Don’t know what I expected though, because you can’t make a hard drive suddenly beep or turn a light on. ^^

You can create random read to try to identify a disk (using badblocks for instance). If the bad disk is not completely dead, create random read on it and try to "feel" which disk is constantly spinning and creating vibration. If disk is completely dead, do the same on all other disks and feel which one is inactive.

But writing down the disk ID -> serial mapping, if the serial is written on the hard drives is a lot easier and more reliable.

You can get the disk serial with smartctl -i /dev/.... Serial should be written on disk. Keep a mapping of disk ID -> serial.

If serial is not visible without taking all disks apart, it's a good idea to put a sticker with a copy of it on the side of the disk or disk tray depending on your NAS form factor.

Setting webgl.disabled to false in about:config allows to display the map.

I'll let you research the attack surface of webgl and see how this fits in your threat model.

Interesting article, thanks a lot for sharing!

So the guy gave Xerox more than 2 years to fix a critical bug, that they acknowledged existed, and they still haven't done anything. This tells me all I need to know about how Xerox values the security of their customers. And the VersaLink are not exactly cheap printers ($700 to ~ $10k depending on model), not that this would be an acceptable response even on the cheapest, not network connected, printer.

Switzerland voted on a 12x initiative a few years ago: https://www.businessinsider.com/switzerlands-112-initiative-why-executives-are-worried-2013-11

Unfortunately it got rejected after big companies threatened to fire their employees and leave Switzerland if this was accepted, that this would destroy the economy, and so on...

Others disagree. According to World Radio Switzerland, Novartis, Nestle, Bobst, and SBB sent thousands of employees letters asking them to vote no to the 1:12 initiative, arguing that it would make Switzerland a less desirable place to do business. Earlier this year the CEO of commodities giant GlencoreXstrata said the company would consider leaving Switzerland if the law passed. “I can’t believe that Switzerland would cause such great harm to its economy,” Ivan Glasenberg said in an interview with the SonntagsZeitung. “And I say that not just as the head of a company, but as a Swiss citizen.”

In Orbot, you have a "VPN mode" toggle, when enabling it, it will create an Android VPN connection which "torify" the traffic of all apps you have selected in the "Tor-Enabled Apps" section. You can select all apps, but still need to remember to go add new apps each time you install them (I don't think there is an automated way to do it).

Unless this changed recently, Android only support a single active VPN connection at a time, so unfortunately this Orbot mode cannot be used in conjunction with a standard VPN.

Direct Rendering Manager != Digital Rights/Restrictions Management

There is already an issue opened about this problem: https://github.com/krawieck/lemmur/issues/287

The problem is due to flutter checking the clipboard to determine if the paste button should appear in text fields. The fix should be available in the next version of flutter, but they don't seem in a hurry to release it: https://github.com/flutter/flutter/issues/74139#issuecomment-938146498

I think @Helix@feddit.de is referring to the third feature listed on their homepage. It has apparently been removed in version 0.7.5 but there is issue 364 which discusses alternatives.

Looking at the install script, they seem to be using the linux-lts kernel from void which has very few patches applied on top of upstream.

But the README indicates that this is a work in progress. It would be nice if, once done, they upstreamed and maintained it in void as a kernel-hardened package.

Telemetry and Suggest are two completely separate things.

• telemetry goes to: https://incoming.telemetry.mozilla.org/submit
• URL bar "keylogging" goes to: https://merino.services.mozilla.com/api/v1/suggest

The only different between "online" and "offline" is that in "offline" mode what you type in your URL bar is not included in the telemetry sent after you have selected a suggestion. But this changes absolutely nothing to what is sent to the Suggest API endpoint when you type in your URL bar.

I've repeatedly provided clear evidence of what I said, you just keep mentioning a random code comment and interpreting it in a way which completely contradicts the actual code and what countless people have observed. So at the risk of repeating myself:

• A code comment does not prove anything.
• Your completely wrong interpretation of it even less so.
• Link to code supporting your claims or GTFO.
