Question for rsync users on linux. Does your rsync preserve creation times --crtimes ? I'm aware ext4/3 filesystems don't store creation times. But I want to use rsync on Linux to sync files between an NTFS(supports creation

Admittedly my only exposure to the Secure Scuttlebutt Protocol(SSB) is through manyver.se [1] - a FOSS private(optionally) social media app. And the syncing issue you mention has been one for me too. Sometimes it's even worse - it fai

Couple more things wget can do that curl can't. 1. wget can resolve onion links. curl can't(yet). You'll get a curl: (6) Not resolving .onion address (RFC 7686) 2. curl has problems parsing unicode characters

I have no problem with javascript. I think javascript can greatly add to the web experience. "Add to" being the keyword there. Not "in lieu of". You want to add javascript to enhance UI/UX outside the scope of what

A page such as this[1] requires javascript to be enabled to be viewable on github. Viewing any and all "/blob/" pages on github requires javascript to be enabled now. It didn't used to be this way ~1 year ago but gi

I only discovered this because of an accidental keyboard malfunction ~10 years ago. I pressed Ctrl+Shift+Escape to open Task Manager. And then I was confused that the list wasn't moving around. Sorted by CPU usage and still, the list j

Mozilla presumably collects this operating system version data on new installs of Firefox upon first run. I wonder how the analytics of Firefox forks are tracked. If they can even be tracked. Tor Browser, LibreWolf et al privacy friendly

Hey, Congratulations on your upgrade to Windows 7! Not 48 hours ago, I spoke highly of the benefits of Windows 7[1], as a user myself. It is absolutely possible to use Windows 7 reasonably securely, if you take the appropriate precautions

Only points 1 through 3 and the latter half of point 4 are "rational". Because Points 4 and 5 conflict with points 1 through 3. "Grace and beauty" is culturally determined and is in the subjective eye of the beholder. Op

As I mentioned in my previous, it really depends on your usecase. In my usecase, it's extremely secure. But, I'll be back after 5 to 10 years, and if I'm still using Windows 7, and if I remember you, I'll reply to you ag

My point is that if it's just Tor Browser without Tor, then there's functionally no reason to have that build be incompatible with Windows 7. Unless they deliberately coded it in like if OS=Win7/Win8 ; then Crash ; else
