Honestly I just always do this when buying a new iPhone. I have iCloud backups turned on but even with blazing fast Internet restoring from iCloud seems to take forever.

What I hate is I love encrypting my flash drives but every OS prompts you to wipe the drive if it doesn’t recognize the encryption scheme of another. 👎
Personally speaking, I’ve never been a fan of this method because to the hosting web server it was still fetched. That might confirm that an email address exists or (mistakenly) confirm that the user did in fact follow the link (or load the resource).
I have ad and tracking blocked like crazy (using DNS) so I can’t follow most links in emails anyway. External assets aren’t loaded either, but this method basically circumvents that (which I hate).
It was originally released in 480, so those DVD rips are probably the “best” quality-wise (unless they did some work on it before releasing for streaming).
If that’s the case it’s probably easier to rent the discs and rip them. Obviously this is a piracy community but hey, technically it’s still piracy if you’re copying rented discs am I right?
Here’s what I do about it:
If you use iCloud with a family plan you can use another family member’s phone to find your iPhone via Find My.
I was going to say this. Get a hold of the profit margins at your local national fast food chain restaurant and tell me again the profits aren’t that high. 😂
How do you know?
At a high level it involves a terrible custom parser written in Ruby for several formats of DNS blocklists. It finds the proper domain then outputs a large configuration file for Unbound.
I’ve attempted to Dockerize it but honestly, I think it would be better to use a superior parser written in another language that can be statically compiled.
I was using Fly.io to host it in various regions using an Anycast IP, but since I’ve moved onto using VPN for everything I’ve moved it to a few hosts acting as Tailscale exit nodes. Those exit nodes provide the blocking DNS service along with rewriting incoming Tailscale client traffic to route out of another network interface assigned to a VPN provider.
Had I unlimited free time I’d rewrite the parser in Crystal, but part of me thinks there’s got to be something already written by someone in Go.
It’s a common solution but I do something more involved and manual, but it’s the same concept.
Related: I’m a big fan of Beeper, and they were recently acquired by Wordpress too.
I go hard with DNS-based ad blocking and I’m constantly confirming it works by checking the network tab in developer tools. I’m basically only seeing first party scripts and CDN assets — 99% of websites load all the tracking garbage from third-party domains that can be easily blocked.
I use it and it’s pretty great, though it sometimes does feel like a hack (I mean, that’s essentially what it is).
For a better experience pick a search engine in Safari that you’ve blocked with DNS so that you’ll never see a glimpse of it before xSearch redirects you (as you would on a slower network).
I don’t even remember mine unless I’m going somewhere I know doesn’t have NFC. It’s a flimsy, shitty wallet that I only bring to flimsy, shitty points of sale and I’d really like to not bring it at all.
Who doesn’t connect their printer over Bluetooth?
I have Siri remind me to make more ice often, but if I say it too fast it’s “make more rice.”
Can’t tell if you’re riding the cliche or serious
If this tech is real, maybe we’ll see it in Los Angeles area apartments in 3050
I like the “ransomware scumbag” language but at the same time, it feels like companies only give a shit about security after an incident.
