Understood: never buy LG devices again.


The problem is they really are the best TVs. I have one sitting next to me that thankfully hasn't been connected to the internet in 5 years. Take the subsidies they give you for being able to spy on you then don't let them spy on you is the better move.


YES! I mean a man can dream... I love windows software like "xyplorer", an ideal explorer replacement, "notepad++" for everything text-related and "FSViewer" for displaying all pictures, all portable, all heavily customizable. But personally, I think microsoft is not interested in it's users. It all about control of it's users and making money off them. MS has no intention of changing that. Please, make the switch to linux and own your OS!


I use restic, too, and I am very pleased with it, although I run it on windows, which works, but isn't perfect. So, you use it regularly?


That brings back the old days. Incredible well done mod/total conversion. Having a blast, thank you for taking the time and energy to create this!


Ahhh... that's how it is done, thank you ::love:: /s :)


Seems like a nice project. I'm still a little bit concerned with the VirusTotal result: https://www.virustotal.com/gui/file/81bbdffb92181a11692ec665...


That is to be expected by a project that contains encryption code, I'd say. Maybe their userbase isn’t big enough to report all false-positives and gain the reputation needed.


It could also be that some ransomware crap has used their codebase as a foundation for their system and then it gets flagged.

It's a very very common problem in the Demoscene, demoscene authors striving to impress in the 64k category created better generic EXE compressors to shrink more content into their 64k binaries, just when any tool is publicly released it is almost immediately flagged by AV software since virus makers scour our forums knowing that once in a while a useful tool comes to hide their malicious code.


I'm concerned about your comment.

I envision a future when people can't deduct anything by themselves and will rely on automated, flawed systems.

The problem is not knowing why and how the systems are flawed, and therefore being unable to have nuanced and truly accurate decisions.


When I checked a few years back, even a ”hello world” Go application compiled for Windows was flagged as malware by a malware scanner that I investigated.

I’m not at a computer where I could try that hypothesis right now, but back then my conclusion after testing various executables was that any unsigned Go binary would be flagged as a malware.


Just as a rule of thumb, doesn't the fact that only a few unknown vendors flag it—and all of the major vendors do not—indicate something? It would suggest a false positive, wouldn't it?


Which EU system did you move to?


I love XYPlorer, it's my favorite program and I use it every day.


I personally like "FSViewer" way more. It's customizable, portable and free. It was my favorite software, which was replaced by "XYPlorer", which is a fileExplorer alternative.

I tried the Irfan view but I am just more comfortable with FSViewer.


Exactly my experience:

1. ask a question isolating and narrowing down my issue as good as I can

2. marked as a duplicate providing a link with an issue, which is loosely related, but does not solve my problem

3. start explaining / defending in comments why question is not a dupe

4. stays marked as dupe

5. give up and feel disappointed for the time and effort investment
