SysOp, Gamer, Nerd. In no particular order.
This has been the law in Brazil for more than 10 years now. We have lots of problems here, but at least our consumer protection laws are top notch. And, believe or not, they're enforced successfully.
In that case, without encryption, your safety is zero. That's the exact scenario that full-drive encryption was designed for.
Safe in what context ?
If the drive is mounted and data accessible, in case your computer is compromised by some kind of malware, well, the data will be easy to exfiltrate. Now, if the computer is turned off or the drive unmounted, that's what encryption comes in to protect it.
So, basically, encryption will protect the data in case of physical theft of the drive or in case of remote hacking if the drive is un-mounted.
To dislodge an incumbent, a product needs to have an enormous advantage, a killer feature that makes the hassle of changing worth it. Up until now, Linux didn't have it. Well, it did, but Windows had it too, but Microsoft dropped it: lack of ads baked on the OS.
Now that Windows is turning into yet another Ad delivery system, people are looking for an escape. Many are going to Macs, some are coming to Linux.
They fucked around and are finding out. This obsession with growing as fast as possible, going to find a way to make money later, is a cancer on the corporate world and it needs to stop. It hurts the employees and the communities around them, and it's hurting gaming as well.
How many franchises will be affected, if not completely destroyed by these fuckers incompetence?
That might be true inside Russia, but not in the rest of the world. F5 could sue in the US and force the registrar responsible for the .org TLD to hand the domain to them.
In his place, I would chosen something related but different enough to avoid trademark infringement, like "Freeginx". IANAL, but I believe sometimes all it takes is one letter to keep lawyers away.
Musk has called the Moraes' decisions regarding X "unconstitutional."
According to which constitution Melon ? You do realize that Brazil is a sovereign country and we have our own constitution right ? You know, the one that has explicit protections against hate speech, discrimination and harassment ?
Also, do you really think you know more about our constitution than a fucking Supreme Court Minister ?
You're pathetic, Elmo.
That was the same in Brazil, where I live. This scared the beejesus out of Microsoft, so they created special, cheaper version for developing countries to counter it.
Banning TikTok would be as good as banning Facebook, Instagram or XTwitter, by that I mean it would be a net gain for society as a whole. But you have to ban them all, without discriminating based on which nation they originated.
But this is not the case here, this is the US congress enacting barriers towards foreign competitors, just like they did with steel, sugar and cars (ever wondered why you can't buy one of those little European cars in America?).
This TikTok bullshit is Huawei all over again. It's not to protect "national security" or "the children", the Huawei ban was all about protecting the business of American companies during the transition from 4G to 5G.
if you ignore the human element
And that's you problem right there. The same people that can get tricked into revealing their SN#, mother's maiden name, etc. are the ones who would reveal their private keys to a scammer.
Fraud is a social problem, technology can assist in managing them, but not solve the issue. In the end, it's all about the human factor.
This is comic book evil shit. This waste of space do this for no other reason than to hurt people. I hope he loses everything he has and dies in poverty.
No matter how much FaceMeta disgusts me, at least Threads has some semblance of moderation to keep the MAGA fascists under control. I rather have to deal with idiots than with the far-right cesspool that Twitter is turning into.
Thankfully, we have Mastodon, so I don't have to deal with either. They're both blocked on my PiHole, so I just get a DNS error when I accidentally click on links.
Which means Russia has to move assets from other parts of the country to replace the destroyed equipment, creating gaps Ukraine can exploit, This reinforces the idea of how fragile Russia's defenses are
I read this as "We're not competitive on a global market anymore, so let's retreat into an shrinking niche, until we're gone or someone buys us".
Sure, they can't compete in price, considering Chinese subsidies, but how about competing in the upper market, with quality and sophistication.... Oh, wait... those are US car makers. They wouldn't know quality if it smacked them in the face.
Well, then. Leave the low end to China and the high end to Germany and Japan then.
It's clear that /u/spez is playing by Fellon Muskolini's playbook. The problem (for them) is the existence of something called "Streisand effect". Or, as Mahatma Gandhi said, "First they ignore you, then they laugh at you, then they fight you, then you win"
Reddit would be better if they just ignored posts pointing to Fediverse instances, but since they won't, well... Their loss is our gain.
Join the fight for the right to repair. Manufacturers (I'm looking at you, Apple) have been removing the ability of end users to repair their own stuff and making it more difficult for independent repair shops to do their jobs. Repairing stuff goes a long way in keeping electronics out of land fills.
But repairing can be understood as "reusing", but there's a first step before reusing, it's reducing. Basically, stop buying shit that you don't need. If you don't buy it, it won't be manufactured, so it won't end up as e-waste.
If people minded more the reduce and reuse, recycling wouldn't be as needed.
AITA for wishing their IPO to be a complete failure ? Like, the stock dropping 90% on the first day ?
I'm waiting for the Contacts manager. Untill then I'll keep using the last "good" (pre-sale) version of Simple Contacts.
But don't worry, take your time.
Hello selfhosters.
Here's my list of stuff:
On a VPS hosted in Germany:
On my home server (my old gaming PC, repurposed)
Which means several years of development ahead to have working silicon, and that would mean AMD64 v1, which Windows and many libraries/application in Linux doesn't support anymore.
In Debian Unstable, for example, ld-linux-x86-64.so.2 reports that it only supports v2, v3 and v4. v3 architecture , so CPUs from Buldozer/Nehalen generation or later. That version of the architecture will still be protected for a few more years.
Since both Intel and AMD are competitors on both CPU and GPU markets, Nvidia's only option is Zhaoxin, a joint venture between Via Technologies (who has a license for box X86 and AMD64) and Shanghai municipality.
Failing that, they would have to go with ARM and emulation, which would come with a performance penalty, or separate CPU and GPU chips, which would make the devices bigger and less power efficient than competing models with APUs.
In conclusion, don't hold your breath. This talk about Nvidia handheld PCs is just to appease their shareholders and create FUD on AMD and Intel ones.
Manager: "Then ship your machine to the custumer"
Developer: Invents Docker...
For my private repos, hosted on my home server, I moved from Gitlab to Forgejo (Git, artifacts and containers images) and Woodpecker for CI builds. Woodpecker is not as powerful and feature complete as Gitlab, but for simpler needs it gets the job done.

You can try it using a public instance if you like, but since installing it is easy and painless, just go for it.
Well, sorry for saying this folks, but I regret having deleted my Reddit account...
... before editing all my comments to point to Lemmy.
Even if it was fully operational, Western artillery used by Ukraine is more precise with longer range than Russian, so they can target the ruskies with less risk.
On the Radeon camp, it's just "apt dist-upgrade; systemctl reboot"
Done.
The only time I had issues with the open source AMD drivers was when I was doing GPU pass through to play Elite: Dangerous, the drivers really didn't like the state Windows left the card in when it was time to reattach it to Linux.
Fuck it ! I'm buying the game again. I have it on GOG and Google Play Store and now I'm buying it on Steam too, for no other reason than reward ConcernedApe for his amazing work.
If too many people do this, you bet "smart" TV peddlers will start bundling cellular modems on their devices, so they can connect directly to their servers without relying on your WiFi, just like car companies do. Blocking this would require enclosing the TV in a Faraday cage.
Veronica has a channel on the TILVids Peertube instance, if prefer that over Youtube. This particular video is at https://tilvids.com/w/u2pBk5Vdg85FWhTmXZQaUA
I already did a few months ago. My setup was a mess, everything tacked on the host OS, some stuff installed directly, others as docker, firewall was just a bunch of hand-written iptables rules...
I got a newer motherboard and CPU to replace my ageing i5-2500K, so I decided to start from scratch.
First order of business: Something to manage VMs and containers. Second: a decent firewall. Third: One app, one container.
I ended up with:
Things look a lot more professional and clean, and it's all much easier to manage.
I think it's a bug on the frontend. Usually a reload brings the correct post.
That site is likely written by AI, so is no surprise that it makes such stupid mistakes.
Privacy conscious Interface for Youtube, with a much cleaner and faster interface. You can try a public instance from this list: https://github.com/TeamPiped/Piped/wiki/Instances
When the owner themself doesn't hide what kind of PoS they are, this is what you get. I have no love for Zuckerberg, but if I can criticize him based on what he does and how he does it and the effects his decisions have on society, any one with brains could without having to resort to low brow insults of measuring contests. That's basically the difference, one service is managed by someone who, despite all his flaws, is an adult, the other isn't.
BTW, I used neutral pronouns for the "chief twitt" and not for Zuck just to spite him and make the point that one doesn't have to lower the level bellow a certain threshold to provoke, all considering how they hate "woke" stuff...
No CDN. The secret is way simpler: It's a static site. Just a bunch of files served directly by Nginx. I use Pelican to generate the site from Markdown files.
If India is anything like my country (Brazil), corruption is rampant and enforcement outside business environments is pretty much non-existent, so, no, no one is afraid of piracy for domestic use. We used to have street vendors and booths on strip malls selling all kinds of warez on CD/DVD. The only reason they're not around anymore is because internet speeds here are already good enough that downloading is easier. And no, no one will cut you connection because of it, our congress already approved laws saying that access to digital communication is a civic right.
As a non-native speaker, that hurts !!!
Since this is /c/selfhosted, it would be a good idea to add "HA - HomeAssistant, a popular automation software" to the list. Another one id "LXC - Linux Containers"
How, for fuck sake, Russia managed to lose 60 ships to a country that has NO NAVY ?!?
Holy! Shit!
