well I'm fighting whatsapp
-
nicolas17
apparently if you delete a contact from your iOS address book, WhatsApp deletes the chat history with that person
-
nicolas17
despite WhatsApp help explicitly saying the opposite
-
nicolas17
how in the world can I possibly do a bug report
-
nicolas17
I asked someone who worked at Facebook
-
nicolas17
he said that 1. the internal bug tracker was "abused" in 2022 so it got more restricted now (I guess developers working on an app can't file internal bugs on a different unrelated app?)
-
nicolas17
so I imagine I have no hope of contacting them from the outside
-
nicolas17
2. he actually no longer works there -.-

click the 'no' in the bottom right and say it's wrong i guess

anyone got an archiver that can download entire GitHub organisations? Note that WARC archiving is effectively useless here.

is there a good way to manually reorder files in a tar archive?

Barto, i have it and i only used it rarely

it's a bit finnicky to get working because it's actually an ESP32 so you need to flash it and the flipper talks to it
-
katia
but it's fun i suppose :p
-
katia
worth the 20€ or however little it costed
-
katia
and you can always reuse it for other stuff/solder a microsd slot so you can boot it directly(iirc?)/...

i'm no hardware tinkerer tho
-

so, prolly a no to me since i can simply install aircrack, i guess

you don't need to be hardware tinkerer to use it for its designated purpose Barto

Is there anything about WORM tapes that makes them physically incapable of being rewritten, or is it just drive firmware controls? If someone were to release or merely prove the existence of patched firmware that ignores the WORM bit in the media ID, would that cause a problem for legal and other processes that assume it's infallible?
-
myself
I've been reading about tape robots and I keep running across this notion of WORM media whose WORMness is simply taken as an article of faith, it's not like a CD-R where the medium is burned and can't be unburned, is it?
-
kiska
Well you can run a LTO through a deguasser and it'll be wiped :D
-
myself
yeah but then you've lost the servo tracks
-
myself
I mean like, for slipping altered records into a tape that someone's going to testify is unaltered Because The Magic Bit Says So and there's nothing other than a CMP JNE saying so.
-
myself
It just strikes me as weird, like on the tech side there's some gentleman's wink-wink about how strong that protection is, but on the legal side it's treated as holy. That seems like the sort of gap that may cause trouble someday, unless it's stronger than I realize, like maybe there's some mixed-coercivity media that would leave a signature if
-
myself
it's rewritten, etc.
-
JAA
Wikipedia claims that 'the servo tracks are slightly different to allow verification that data has not been modified'.
-
myself
Heh. And the citation for that line only supports the shell color, not the servo claim.
-
JAA
Yeah

-
JAA
-
myself
Ooo.
-

Yup, sounds like that's 100% implemented in firmware. The "special servo tracks" doesn't mean anything like a wobble that might show evidence of track widening on a second write pass, it's just an "I'm-a-WORM" bit set in the servo manufacturer's word which is written into the servo track. The drive firmware has to give a shit about that bit in
-
myself
order for it to mean anything.
-
kiska
Is that bit stored on the tape itself or somewhere else? Cause if its on the tape just run a degausser on it :D
-
kiska
And now you have a refurbished tape for use
-
myself
LTO tapes aren't reusable after they're degaussed, just like voicecoil hard-drives can't be low-level formatted; the tracking information is in the servo tracks. If you blank the servo tracks, the drive can't track the tape anymore.
-
kiska
hrm...
-
myself
That only works on media where the head alignment is so coarse it can be done mechanically, which means extremely old tape formats, or extremely old stepper-motor hard drives. Those, you can degauss and reuse.
-
myself
Which is why LTO tapes are so expensive -- if you could degauss them and promise someone that their proprietary info was gone and then resell the tape as blank, they'd be super cheap. But the erasing process takes hours, it's a full rewrite, so used media is pretty rare. (You'd think they could just block-overwrite the encryption key, but companies
-
myself
are dense like that.)
-
kiska
Which gen is expensive?
-
kiska
I can get an LTO5 tape for $20 AUD
-
kiska
Which is pretty cheap
-
myself
Prices scale with modernity. Most hobbyists are using 5 or 6 because the drives are somewhat affordable, and the media too, but 1.5TB per tape isn't exciting.
-
kiska
Brand new LTO7 tapes are $60 AUD
-

but no drives :D

LTO8, for 12TB per tape, is like $55/tape and $7000 for the drive. I can get a reasonably nice car for that much.
-
kiska
fireonlive: Urgh the 30hz refresh is killing me
-
myself
But anyway, that doesn't matter, it sounds like the same wink-wink-the-firmware-says-its-WORM-trust-me-bro mechanism persists across generations, a proof that the emperor has no clothes would really fuck some legal things.
-
fireonlive
kiska: smooth as vaseline uwu

BearFortress
The HP LTO8 is $46.26 right now. Used drives aren't 7k. If you hoard enough data you can save enough to buy a car by going with tape instead of HDs, which have gone up recently.

You add lag to the software whenever you add a new feature. When your manager later gives you the task to improve performance, you say it'll take a few weeks, enjoy your free time, and reduce the lag a bit at the end. Or so I've heard.
