  • So by migration, you mean just using the same drive in another system? That’s potentially a major data loss moment. You at the very least should back everything up before you try to “migrate” without copying files.

    I don’t use Synology, so I can’t speak to the exact process you need to follow. But I imagine it will require you to format your drive if it’s somehow locked into Synology’s system in order to use it with something else.

    It’s likely similar to reinstalling a different OS. You have to back everything up and format the drive. It likely uses a different file system.

    I almost feel like this was the intention. Bring the stocks down so his billionaire buddies can buy up more shares and then wait for the market to come back up. It’s effectively stock market manipulation, but now it’s protected because they can argue it’s an “official act”.





  • “Lockup” is an investment term. When a company has an IPO (Initial Public Offering, which is the day they become publically available for stock trades), the big shareholders and company employees who are invested ahead of the IPO are “locked” from selling their shares for a certain number of days. This isn’t required, but most companies having an IPO end up having a lockup period set as well.

    In regards to this headline, it just means that the initial investors and big shareholders are now free to sell their shares, which they are apparently doing in droves!


  • The whole social aspect of Venmo is one of the stupidest things to have ever been created. I use Venmo because it’s the most widely used platform, but all of my transactions are private.

    Do people even scroll through the public feed of their friends? Why does anyone care that their friend paid another friend (who they likely don’t even know) $10 for a burger and fries? So fucking dumb.







  • It goes much deeper than just coffee shops and other public wifi. There are people in oppressive countries that have to use VPNs to get around their country-wide bans of certain sites, such as anything that provides access to information. Reddit used to be a sanction for tons of information sharing. But now, with Reddit going public, they have to appeal to their shareholders, who probably have business or other deals in those oppressive countries. So, even if Reddit is simply trying to force users to be trackable, it still behooves the shareholders to make information and knowledge more difficult to access to certain people.

    Yep, advertiser don’t care how they got those clicks. They just want the numbers to go up so they feel like their “investment” is doing something. Tricking people into thinking it’s user content, showing half naked girls for a dumb mobile gambling game, showing fake products… they don’t care. Advertisers only have one thought: “Hurr Durr Numbers Go Brr”
