You mean SNI, not ESNI. ESNI is the Encrypted Server Name Indication that gets around that, though the newer ECH (Encrypted Client Hello) is better in many ways. Not all sites support either though.

Allow me to play doubles advocate here for a moment. For all intensive porpoises I think you are wrong.

In an age where false morals are a diamond dozen, true virtues are a blessing in the skies. We often put our false morality on a petal stool like a bunch of pre-Madonnas, but you all seem to be taking something very valuable for granite. So I ask of you to mustard up all the strength you can because it is a doggy dog world out there. Although there is some merit to what you are saying it seems like you have a huge ship on your shoulder. In your argument you seem to throw everything in but the kids Nsync, and even though you are having a feel day with this I am here to bring you back into reality. I have a sick sense when it comes to these types of things. It is almost spooky, because I cannot turn a blonde eye to these glaring flaws in your rhetoric. I have zero taller ants when it comes to people spouting out hate in the name of moral righteousness. You just need to remember what comes around is all around, and when supply and command fails you will be the first to go. If you don't tow the line you'll never hone in on the truth. Gorilla warfare will be used against you if you don't agree!

Yip. Everything is always going to shit, but manure makes good fertilizer.

Encrypt then sign. Always authenticate before any other operations like decryption. Don't violate the cryptographic doom principle.

Hell no.

They're almost entirely scams. I don't support tricking people out of their money.

They also ruined crypto as an abbreviation for cryptography, and spam every cryptography-related discussion forum. Even the NIST post-quantum standardization list has been getting their spam.

Mostly correct. Trump was found guilty of significantly inflating the value of his properties already. There are still charges over falsification of business records, insurance fraud, and conspiracy to commit fraud. Those don't have guilty verdicts yet. Damages haven't been decided, as you note.

It's also worth noting that this is a civil trial. That means that refusal to answer questions can result in "adverse inference" where the assumption will be that the worst possible answer was given (an admission of guilt). It may still be worthwhile to refuse to answer, e.g. under 5th amendment protections to avoid incriminating oneself on criminal charges. Criminal charges can be brought based on testimony given in civil trials, but adverse inference isn't enough to get criminal charges.

What's red and bad for your teeth? A brick.

What's blue and bad for your teeth? A very fast brick.

Yep, it's just Murphy's Law of data: everything you regret posting will be in public archives forever, everything you want to preserve will have gotten deleted the next time you try to find it.

Because AIs are (partly) trained by making AI detectors. If an AI can be distinguished from a natural intelligence, it's not good enough at emulating intelligence. If an AI detector can reliably distinguish AI from humans, the AI companies will use that detector to train their next AI.

1: Anything that's federated is public (to instance admins) and can't be reliably deleted.

For ActivityPub, that's pretty much everything except user account.

For email (SMTP) that's sender, recipient, subject, and usually body.

Etc. Instance admins can log whatever they want. Laws like the GDPR or CCPA don't apply to all instances.

2: User signup is much harder because choice paralysis over which instance to join often sets in. That in turn leads to default recommendations, resulting in centralization in a few instances. E.g. lemmy.world, beehaw.org, sh.itjust.works, lemmy.ml for lemmy, Gmail, Apple mail, MS Live email, AWS email options for email.

Same. I'd rather pay than have advertising.

It's especially funny because systemd isn't one program any more than GNU is. It's a project. systemd-initd handles init. systemd-journald handles journal logs. systemd-resolved handles DNS resolution. Etc. Each systemd daemon has one area of responsibility!

cat /dev/zero > "/proc/$(pidof vim)/mem" is my favorite dumb way. Clear its memory, wait for the segfault.

ARM TrustZone is already common on A-series. Device manufacturers want secure storage & computation, so chipmakers provide it.

They also separate concerns better than classical distros. Executable binaries & libraries are separate from configuration which is separate from data. It makes backups much simpler, makes configuring new machines easier than something like Ansible, etc.

Knot Tying. Sure, there's an International Guild of Knot Tyers, but it's a rather small group.

Yep. If exemptions required a CDL there would be far fewer exempt vehicles being made.

That argument is as old as the transatlantic slave trade, possibly older. Slaves were forced into Christianity, supposedly saving them from Hell. In return, they were forced to work as slaves for their mortal lives. What skill could be more valuable than loving Jesus? The slave owners got to feel good about themselves, the slaves got Jesus and beatings and forced labor and worse, and the same twisted reasoning continues in slightly altered form here.

Tasha Yar dies due to the Exxon Valdez.

I use a Turquoise Turtle knot. My shoes don't come untied by accident.

Necessary for cryptographic code, where data-dependent branches can create a side-channel which leaks the data.

Well, you can drink most liquids that don't contain water exactly once in your life, so you may as well pick the one that'll kill you in the least painful manner possible.

Soylent green, clearly.

Or meat. Humans are mostly meat.

Every "mad scientist" in popular media has been an inventive engineer. They never do any hypothesis testing, no p-values, no publications in the Journal of Doomsday Weaponry, no grant applications…

Omnipotence!

In presidential systems like the US has legislation originates from congress. The President only has veto power over legislation, and controls the enforcement of existing legislation. They can't force congress to create new legislation, though of course they can propose legislation (anyone can do that). This is very different from parliamentary systems where the Prime Minister is the head of the majority party of the parliament, and can thus directly propose legislation and get their party to support it.

Pretty sure that's been the shortcut since Mozilla Phoenix (now Firefox) introduced tabs in 2002 or so.

Yep, it reduces cam-out. Not very well, but it does better than a slotted screw made by a drunk apprentice with a dremel being torqued with a flat-head prybar. Torx, Allen, and Robertson all reduce cam-out far more, but Phillips still sadly get used in new products.

LPT: The first rule of tautology club is the first rule of tautology club.

Yep. This guy thought he was fighting a righteous battle against the evil of white replacement. Brainwashed, but not insane by any clinical definition any more than any soldier is.

I call them SUTs if the bed is shorter than the cab.

Asafoetida. When uncooked, the smell fits the hype of the various names from around the world: stinking gum, devil's dirt, devil shit, satan's shit, etc. Cooked, it tastes and smells like a very umami cross between garlic & leeks. Common in Indian cuisine, particularly vegetarian dishes.

Budgerigars (small parrots).

They're active, smart, and social. They fly.

So I made them a flight cage that takes up most of the room they're in. I'd prefer a full walk-in aviary, but don't have room in my apartment.

Cleaning isn't bad, I just shop-vac out the litter tray & refill it with a 20lb bag of corn cob bits. Fresh food in the mornings, take it out & replace with pellets around noon. Clean water daily. Millet treats when I let them out (about an hour per day to interact with them).

Feathers get everywhere when they molt. And feather dust. Their room has its own HEPA filter.

Vet appointments are more expensive for exotics than cats & dogs. There are fewer exotic vets, and I always go to a board certified avian vet. Boarding when I go on vacation is also more expensive (about $50/day), especially since they're flighted.

They're not anywhere near as loud or destructive as larger parrots, but that doesn't mean they're quiet. Just means they might not damage your hearing from the next room. They wake up with the dawn, and let you know about it.

They're extremely sensitive to airborne toxins (avian respiration is rather different from mammalian). That means absolutely no teflon cookware use, no air fresheners, etc.

NixOS + Home Manager user here.

I run in an opt-in state config. / is tmpfs. /home is tmpfs. /boot and /nix are real filesystems. At boot, the EFI loader reads the configuration from /nix/persist/etc/nixos/flake.nix, symlinks all the programs and configs into / and /home, and startup proceeds as normal.

That means nothing persists across boots unless I add it to my config. Cruft doesn't accumulate in hidden areas, it's all in my config. That keeps things fast, makes management easier, and makes troubleshooting easier.

If at first you don't succeed, skydiving is not for you.

Probably red lead used to disguise low-quality cinnamon.

Bed is shorter than the cab, it's an SUT.

Fantasy world that turns out to be post-Apocalypse Earth is a pretty old trope.

Valuing a person’s worth as a human by measuring their productivity is genocidal.

Of course you don't value people based on their productivity! That's downright anti-American "from each according to his ability" commie talk! You value people based on their net worth! One Dollar, One Vote, that's what I always say.

/s,

CPU doesn't have any secure storage, so it can't encrypt or authenticate comms to the TPM. The on-CPU fTPMs are the solution, the CPU then has the secure storage.
