From the issue you shared:

Thank you b4too - unless something new has been uncovered - which if so should be reported to us via our responsible disclosure policy - it is NOT possible to arbitrarily enumerate all media on a server without authentication, and saying as much is massive fear-mongering

Unfortunately that doesn’t seem possible, afaik. Although you could always create a zip file with a password, and share it with an open link (anyone with the link can download it, no need for account).

Maybe something like xbackbone? I’ve used it to share small-ish files and it works fine; I don’t know how much of a pain it would be to use for a group of people, but as long as everyone has an account they should be able to access files with a link.

I guess the advantage would be to have a more updated copy, because the ones on kiwix are one year old.

I use suspend-then-hibernate on my laptop (arch). It has a Nvidia graphics card, so it gives problems sometimes, but it mostly works fine.

I set it up like that in case I disconnect the laptop, so it will hibernate before running out of battery; it will also hibernate after 16h of being suspended (to save power), but I usually turn it back on before that.

I like suspending because my laptop has an HDD, and it is way faster to turn it back on this way.

Maybe there’s not a huge difference, but the power usage of suspending is definitely lower, since only the RAM is getting power. CPU and disks have some idle power consumption, and you can have some background processes that wouldn’t be executed while suspended.

I’m guessing that it notifies you before the cert expires, because I already have a great notification system for the server not working: I’ll always get a text from a friend within minutes asking why it’s not working :P

France is bacon… Just kidding. Not exactly mishearing, but I misunderstood “the best defense is a good offense” as if you defend super well, you’d attack your opponent with your defense. It didn’t make much sense until I realized you’re supposed to attack in order to defend…

I don’t know about the US, but in Spain if you steal less than 400€ it’s not considered a felony, just a lesser crime, and they let you go with a slap on the wrist. Not saying that cops are going to follow you around until you steal more though lol.

October is going to be a great month to get a cheap second hand computer.
