You'll definitely get lots of login attempts. I used to have a port 22 ssh, hundreds of attempts per day.

Would be interesting to see what post login behavior was.

If the hypervisor or any of its components are exposed to the Internet

Lemme stop you right there, wtf are you doing exposing that to the internet...

(This is directed at the article writer, not OP)

Its still pretty common in wedding services to announce the couple as "Mr and Mrs [Man Name]". Even seen it when the bride isnt taking the husbands surname.

My partner and I hate it as well.

Brb, gonna paint a kangaroo

Sure, but the author makes it sounds like thats its their standard way of doing things, which is insane.

And if you do have a misconfiguration, the rational thing is to fix that, not dump the entire platform.

Wanna bet they expose SSH on port 22 to the internet on their "critical" servers? 🤣

I think its better to think of it like a president or prime minister. He might set the plan and direction and making the big decisions, but there are thousands of others supporting and making the plan actually happen.

In the past he has delegated the release to others as well.

So if the worst would happen, the linux project would continue operating fairly seamlessly.

That kinda sounds reasonable. Especially if it can prevent someone going down that rabbithole? Good job PH.

Its only a genocide if it comes from the third reich. Anything else is just sparkling ethnic cleansing.

Im not a lawyer, but is this really good news? Isnt this just setting a precedent that Nintendo can shake down any emulator developer for ~2.4m any time they feel like it? So small developers are basically screwed?

The fact is that we can’t rely on any single website to hold the whole world’s knowledge, because it can be corrupted sooner or later. The only solution is a distributed architecture, with many smaller websites connecting with each other and sharing information. This is where ActivityPub comes in, the protocol used by Mastodon, Lemmy, Peertube and many other federated social media projects.

Thank god Lemmy has no malicious users/bad actors/spam issues...

Interesting idea anyway. I would be a bit more worried that when important information is siloed onto instances, each instance becomes a point of failure, and thus can be corrupted or lost.

Good luck :)

I knew the trans agenda was to get rid of bridges. Wakeup sheeple!!!2!!?

Some might be paid actors, but i bet a lot are just brain rotted morons.

Lol, if we start excluding tech based on the inventors mental illnesses we are gonna end up bashing rocks together to make fire.

Edit: To be clear, I am not saying that being trans is a mental illness, only refuting that mental illness is not a reason to discard ones contributions. Apologies for any offence.

Give google a break, its hard for them to keep track of what message backend is in which app. They have created and killed 5 messaging apps in the time I wrote out this comment, how can you expect them to know whats going on?

8gb in a "pro" machine is rediculous. And the 8gb == 16gb thing was always rubbish.

This seems wildly out of touch. Yes, things are getting better and more user friendly, but its definitely not "best for most people".

Until i can give a laptop with linux to my neighbour without also needing to also provide support, its not there yet.

Edit: removed unintended agism. Technical ability is not linked to age, i should know better.

PH had a pretty big problem with CSAM a few years ago, they ended up wiping ~2/3rds of their user submitted content to try fix it. (Note, they wiped all non-verified user submitted videos, not all of it was CSAM).

And im guessing they are trying to catch users who are trending towards questionable material. "College"✅ -> "Teen"⚠️ -> "Young Teen"⚠️⚠️⚠️ -> "CSAM"🚔 etc.

Big reporters/Testers deserve some props as well. Testing the code on a variety of different situations is how software gets stable, and I can't do that myself. And properly and concisely describing a bug or glitch is usually the key to getting it resolved quickly.

I wrote a period app for my partner, everything is encrypted and never leaves the device.

It has a option where you can set false passwords, so that if you are being compelled to unlock it, it will get up fake data.

Code is open source: https://github.com/cameroncros/PrivatePeriodTracker

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.cross.privateperiodtracker

It may not meet your needs, but perhaps worth a look. I am open to adding features (except for ads and tracking obviously).

Bizarrely, they have accidentally implemented an actual pro life policy

We do have guns though, they are protected behind proper background checks and licences. And we dont fetishish them the same way many Yanks do. Definitely far fewer semi-auto and full auto guns though.

If you keep your eyes open, there are a number of gun shops around, often in quite unexpected locations. There is one near my local kebab shop, and its very subtle, so many people dont even notice it.

One benefit (that I have no sources for, but have seen it mentioned before), is that the USB C socket/cable setup is designed such that the cables wear out instead of the socket. The moving parts (the bendable contacts) are in the cable, so if/when they break. You throw out the cable instead of the phone.

I don't really know how it works for Lightning (Apple) cables, but presumably they have also considered this when they designed their connector. I haven't personally heard of iPhone sockets dying early, so maybe it doesn't really matter?

I have used sewing needles to get stuff out of my phone's socket, and that has been fine, but it's probably unwise. Thinning out a toothpick with a knife is probably safer, and has also worked for me.

Just to upset you, the next 2 versions are 6.8, and 9.0.

"Sorry, that was meant for my mum"

Goes back further than that, Turing was gay, so anything building off his works must also be transitively gay.

To add to the modern examples, Reiser murdered his wife, which really puts "devil cunts" into perspective :D

Chromecast with Google TV made the "simple" casting worse for some apps like Netflix. Instead of it casting directly, it would spawn the Netflix app and make you use the remote to reselect the show you wanted to see.

AMD were already using the x86 ISA long before amd64.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/AMD

Intel had introduced the first x86 microprocessors in 1978.[51] In 1981, IBM created its PC, and wanted Intel's x86 processors, but only under the condition that Intel also provide a second-source manufacturer for its patented x86 microprocessors.[12] Intel and AMD entered into a 10-year technology exchange agreement

AMD were also second source for some other Intel logic chips before that deal.

I think you are missing the most critical features, stability and support. You need whatever distro you pick to be solid. No one cares about the file system or whether it is immutable or not, your users need the computer to work when they use it, and nothing else matters.

You also need to be confident you can update and upgrade safely and easily, any risk of a broken update will make your life a misery when that happens.

Kickstart support, or some form of automated deployment will also be extremely valuable so that you can easily redeploy broken boxes with minimal effort. And some form of remote config/admin will also be extremely valuable. You dont want to have to do updates manually one at a time.

I would pick a general purpose commercially backed OS, so that if you need it later, you can pay for support if there is a problem. And you need to write some basic usage guides, because no matter which distro you pick, if its not Windows, your users will complain when they cant do X the same way it works on Windows.

I just want to clarify for anyone else, the frames in dispute are NOT historical content, they are ads that have been inserted into the video. (I bring this up because taking down historical content for being offensive is not necessarily a good idea, it is important that we accurately remember how thing were, good and bad)

I dont think you'll have much luck reporting the videos for transphobia, just because I dont think google/yt cares about that. But you may have some success reporting them for copyright infringement. They are certainly not official recordings/uploads, and its definitely not free use.

If its an open source project, the answer is to rebuild from the tagged source.

Eg: https://github.com/fastapi/fastapi/tree/0.112.4

With the right repo setup, you can pip install git+https://github.com/fastapi/fastapi.git@0.112.4 (example only, not sure it works), so pypi doesn't need to keep all previous wheels, its just easier for it to do so.

Because English is half a dozen languages wrapped in a trenchcoat? A lot of the law related words are from French derivations AFAIK?

Domain specific language is found across all realms of society, even firefighters have words or phrases with a specific meaning (back-burning, pumper, appliance, etc). So maybe its not that some areas are lazy, its just that you haven't been exposed to their more technical side?

That's the flight management computer, it does waypoint navigation/autopilot. As far as I know it doesn't do chat to other planes. So all fake

Write an alias/function to do it and add to your bashrc.

function nanox() {
    nano "$1"
    chmod +x "$1"
}
