    and it's easily reversible from macOS's perspective? i'm familiar enough with partition OS installs (remember boot camp?) but there's so many new security "features" these days

    for a game that came out when this one did and on the hardware it did, would you prefer a $20 basic, well-performing but aged looking port, or a $60 remaster? but if other comments are right we'll get a $60 bad port lol

  • Services for removing your data from public databases

    ars posted this article today: https://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2024/08/its-not-worth-paying-to-be-removed-from-people-finder-sites-study-says/

    takeaways:

    1. the paid automated options don't work very well
    2. easyoptouts had the best success rate at (only) 65%
    3. claims connections between the data sites and removal sites -- i certainly saw a few ads on the sites but nothing points any fingers at any of the services mentioned in the comments here.

    i ended up using kanary and optery in the free tier and doing the removals manually. but to follow up on my OP, there's no service i've seen that goes any deeper than what comes up on google, which is disappointing. there are larger, private databases (such as lexisnexis) which was hoping to be able to get out of.

    Yeah true. I think what I'm looking for is a reasonable cost/benefit/time investment, like maybe I'll order a Kanary scan once a year and manually opt them all out. I did kanary this afternoon and the vast majority only had my voter registration info, but a few had attached my cell number which might be from the WhoIs data. If I can slow the spread of that for <$20/year I'll feel satisfied.

    I see the logic if I was continually making potential leaks (I guess we all are), but for trying to clean up a specific thing like my case, I suppose I can just buy one month.

    Checking them out, thanks. I kinda wish there was a different pricing model than a subscription for this kind of service.

    edit; after signing up i can actually see within the free tier that there's a "buy custom scan" option which might allow more piecemeal payments, gonna look into it

  • Last year I did a major fuckup and bought a .us domain without noticing that they don't support WhoIs privacy, so my name number and address became part of the public WhoIs database scrapes. Since then my spam texts and calls have vastly multiplied. I'm realistic about the fact that the damage is done and it'll always exist out there, but I would happily pay some money to a service that sends takedown requests for the data in the public databases like LexisNexis etc. to lessen the damage. Do you know of any services that do this somewhat reliably? Or even a guide or something about doing this manually?

    Separate 2FA OTP app from my password manager
  • slug slug 3mo ago 100%

    i just realized i set up ente but put the login for it in my bitwarden. that kind of defeats the purpose. so i guess i would need to save the ente creds outside of bitwarden... then i need a second 2FA source for that... endless cycle...

    Ente looks really nice but I wish it had a Firefox addon

  • Do you think it's worth keeping 2FA OTPs in a separate source from your password manager? Currently I keep them in Bitwarden. I was thinking keeping them separate could add a little extra security in case my BW was cracked, but not sure it's worth the hassle of loading a second app for logins. Do you know of an app that does 2FAs as conveniently as Bitwarden, in that it has mobile apps, browser extension, etc that can all access the same vault? here's one i came across from an awesome-selfhosted list. i would need to test the PWA experience https://github.com/Bubka/2FAuth

    If anyone else has dealt with iCloud Drive constantly getting stuck uploading I wanted to share the best solution I have so far and ask if anyone has fixed it another way. What I've figured out from reading Apple support and Reddit threads is that there's a daemon called `bird` at `/System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/CloudDocsDaemon.framework/Versions/A/Support/bird` that handles syncing, and killing it forcing it to restart usually gets things working again. My oneliner script to kill it to force a restart: `pid=$(ps -ax | pgrep bird | awk '{print}'); kill $pid` But sometimes it restarts and gets stuck the same way. Do you get this issue? Figured anything out about it?

    Wasn't sure where to post this so I'll just share it with the ripcity gang. I used to use stanza.co which is what nba.com links to for adding season schedules to your calendar, but now that requires signing up and has weird ticket purchase ads in the events. Then I was using sportscalendar.net for a while, but it went down. Eventually I figured out that Yahoo sports publishes a full season calendar at https://sports.yahoo.com/nba/teams/por/ical.ics , and this is the same for every team page there, like if you add /ical.ics after https://sports.yahoo.com/soccer/teams/portland-timbers you get a subscription link to add to your calendar. Super convenient. For me on iOS/macOS, you add a subscription calendar and paste the url with the .ics at the end. Bonus, they also still publish their news feed to rss at https://sports.yahoo.com/nba/teams/por/rss/

    I’ve been listening to podcasts more lately and there are quite a few blazers shows, wondering which you guys like. YouTube shows work too, or even share if you follow anyone on social media that covers the team. The ones I’m subscribed to right now: BlazerFocused, which is by the Oregonian. The show is chill and I feel like they must have some good editorial standards being connected to major news organization. The Brief Case, which is Casey Holdahl’s show, very insider since he works directly with the team, gets player interviews, not very critical since he’s so close to things. Locked on Blazers, shorter weekday episodes by Mike Richman. Seems knowledgeable. any other good ones? as a bonus, the Oregonian also has a Timbers show called Soccer made in Portland.

    I get how to view the community in my instance by searching `!community@other-instance.url`, but then I have to find the specific post again. there's an [open issue](https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy-ui/issues/1048) which i think is talking about this, but i'm wondering what people have come up with for now. seems like a great browser extension opportunity ([Lemmy Link ](https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/lemmy-link/)only opens the community).
