That is for sure a good question, although I would say it would present limitations.

Let's put it this way: Id photos are very standard. Front facing, until the neck, white lights, white background. Now lets say everyone's photo got leaked (or used) and the only source of photos for a certain photo is the Id one only. I didn't study the matching algorithms, but I will say that variation for a certain subject under different circumstances increase the matching possibilities. If by any chance you try to match someone live and the only source would be id photos, my guess is it would present a big error rate. Possibility could be fine tuned, not sure up to how much.

Now lets consider what we have today. For a single person, I will bet there are on average more than 15 photos of themselves somewhere available (for those chronically attached to stuff such as IG of fb) and a lot of the times tagged as well (and manually as well, there was a time on fb this was a big thing). With this amount of comparison points, I would say the matching for sure works a lot better

There is a detail that makes it possible: the absurd over sharing everywhere. If only everyone did not think to plaster everywhere their face with their selfies and decide to share everything everywhere, then maybe something like this would be a lot harder to implement (if possible on certain cases)

Quite frankly, considering the daily routine of a lot of people, this is probably the best thing to do. REST! Nobody will do it for you

I still prefer this version of the meme (which one day I will totally print it and put it on the back of my work laptop)

What a fantastic website not to visit

Depends. Some women cannot have enough milk production, some have over production. It's a bit of a gamble most of the times. In countries like Brazil there is a sort of system where is possible to donate milk in case of over production, and in case you don't have or not enough, you can have some of it (not sure about the details, but for me this sounds great).

As for people saying formula is better than breastmilk, believe or not, Nestlé is to blame for this. Back in the day they touted that all over the place, and at some point, they got penalties for saying such bs. The fun part? They are using the EXACT same tactics on some under developed countries so they can sell more. Quite frankly, Nestlé is really up there on companies to despise ( Exxon is possibly the top one, but Nestlé is not really that behind)

so, "fun sized" Saddam Husseins exists?

[–] ZeDoTelhado@lemmy.world 24 points 1 month ago (7 children)

if one Saddam was only 400 calories, then he was extremely malnourished

Mooltipass looks sick actually. I have my reservations regarding the ble part, but I would have to look into it more to understand it. Might get one to check around how well it works (once availability is there)

[–] ZeDoTelhado@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago (2 children)

Curiously enough, I never heard of those. Do you happen to know good ones so I can further check?

Do you want to know the kicker? There are banks (yes, you heard me right) that straight up don't allow more than 20 chars. 20!!! And they say you got to use the app for X things because it's secure and shit (e.g.: use the app to 2FA credit card transactions). Meanwhile, does not allow you to add a yubikey for Fido authentication

 

Hey there, I have a (very) small Ubuntu server and I was dabbling on the idea to do system backups (entire system, meaning, if the disk of the said pc fries, I can get another one, put the info from the backup on the new disk, works immediately afterwards). I have a couple of Linux mint machines and a windows one. I searched a lot out there and found several names, from rsync to Borg backup.But ultimately I don't really know if these solutions would fit my use case.

So the question is: is there a feasible way/service that can be self hosted to do backups of local machines, similar to an image backup? Or, if you believe there are better ways to do it, can you please mention it?

Thanks in advance
