And from my reading, helps secure against a situation where an police officer (AKA attacker in the US apparently…) coerces you to unlock the phone (or perhaps even just takes it off you in a locked, but active state), and stores it in a faraday bag with a charger. They do that to keep it ‘alive’ so their experts can break in - a dead-mans reboot can help circumvent even that (as it will just reboot and restore itself to an encrypted rest state, which is much harder to attack)

Yeah, seems like its a move to follow apple after custom ROMS offering it as a security feature (Im on GrapheneOS and had it set for a while)
Thanks for the clarification, I forgot that (somehow)
After a reboot all the data is encrypted and needs a pin/
fingerprintto unlock. So if it’s stolen (or feds get it) a planned reboot resets it to a highly secure state that is much more difficult to hack into than when it’s just locked from timeout. Edit: removed fingerprint, corrected below.

Privacy Guides@lemmy.one•Ente wants to take on Google Photos with its privacy-first photo storage serviceEnglish
3·1 year agoFor the selfhosters, come jump into Immich - it’s google photos at home, full control of your data.
Ouch, yeah that’s frustrating. I’m considering doing my own image (prei stall my own apps) which will help with issues like this and allow consistent apps across machines.
Feels like a sledgehammer for a nail though
I had this with a sunshine service being added as a user service in bazzite. I created a clean new user and it booted, confirming it was user based. Took a bunch of binary searching to work out what the issue was.
I’ve since done my own autostart setup for sunshine and it’s been fine ever since.
Crappy UX!

Selfhosted@lemmy.world•What AI services are you selfhosting? Or, have tested and passed onEnglish
4·1 year agoI run ollama and auto1111 on my desktop when it’s powers on. Using open-webui in my homelab always on, and also connected to openrouter. This way I can always use openwebui with openrouter models and it’s pretty cheap per query and a little more private that using a big tech chatbot. And if I want local, I turn on the desktop and have local lamma and stab diff.
I also get bugger all benefit out of it., it’s a cute toy.

Not sure why you’d be quickly rate limited as a single user, from the GH issues I read they expected we’d have no issues keeping under API limits



I remember doing work experience at school in the computer lab. Thought I was gonna learn fun stuff on the servers, ended up cleaning gunk from the rollers if every mouse in the entire school (And cleaning every PC out, and flashing entire labs one by one with updates OS…)
