As you mentioned Immich, Nextcloud and Radicale - don’t forget to make regular backups. If you haven’t automated them, that’s your next project now ;)

It’s just that PDF is a structured file format (as is html, but very different). There are libraries for most programming languages that allow you to edit this structure.

%20
got converted into+
which broke my link. I experimented a bit with other „percent encoded“ values and there are more that get replaced.I’m currently collecting a bit of data to open a bug report - links even get changed when put in a codeblock or inline code…
Check this comment out where I used every possible value from
%00
to%FF
in URLs. The second half (above%80
) gets wild
Elvith Ma'for@feddit.orgto Selfhosted@lemmy.world•feedback on my next steps for self hostingEnglish6·30 days ago2)There’s nothing you can’t “undo”. I think you’re overthinking this.
Adding to this: Deploying via Docker (or podman or k8s or…) and/or installing every host via Ansible makes this even easier.

Say, I’m offering you a cloud drive and tell you “your data is end to end encrypted”. You sync data from your PC to my server and from my server to your mobile phone. Would that mean
- That everything between your devices is encrypted (=I can’t see what you’re saving, neither can “the state”, hackers,…)or
- That your data is encrypted in transit, but is saved unencrypted on my server (which means everyone with access to my server can see your data) or
- It’s encrypted in transit and also on my server, but the keys are also ony server, so that everyone with access to my server can in theory decrypt everything and access everything?
1 is what you want, 2 and 3 are often what you get…

Elvith Ma'for@feddit.orgto Privacy@lemmy.ml•to where is the samsung keyboard app pasting my clipboard contents and how can i stop this?12·1 month agoI don’t have a Samsung currently, but IIRC the Samsung keyboard has a clipboard organizer that lets you access and paste the last x things you put in your clipboard.
On one hand it’s nice, as you could copy some text then the link afterwards and paste everything in e.g. a Lemmy post in one go. One the other hand it means, that it can and will access every in your clipboard. As long as you use it, it’s somewhat fine - the keyboard has access to everything you typed anyway. But if you’re not using it, either check if you can disable that feature or just disable the whole app if possible
And if you panicked before and fucked up the opened file while hammering on the keyboard:
:q!

Very useful for cheap testing, if your code/server supports ARM.
Even then, a small underpowered x64 VM for testing purposes is often free on all hyperscalers. Not the fastest server, but depending on the use case?

puts on tin hat have you looked around lately? Being able to directly access brains and probably inject God knows what signals to maybe be able to alter behavior of people and/or literally brainwash them is a sure way to get funding in late stage capitalism.

Just a quick add on: not only do and automate backups - do also test them every now and then.
