"it takes two"

My understanding is that if they charge him, it being in a state court means Trump can't pardon him if he wins.

Not worth the risk to the bomb squad, vs just blow it up.

Don't make a mess, and do the changes you need with ansible. Effectively making its code your documentation.

Before everyone gets their pitchforks out - Person from the image posted on Hacker News, CEO replied and said this charge shouldn't have happened and they wouldn't be charging the client anything.

Sounds like they could use some more sites linking to them to improve SEO. https://clownstrike.lol/

I personally hate all the reddit cross post stuff, and it seems like the majority of lemmy users do too. I don't understand why people obsess over this as a way to "grow" lemmy.

It doesn't contribute to active conversations, in fact it deters users who reply locally and then never get a response.

Just let lemmy grow organically by making good content and contributing, stop forcing it with mirrors from reddit.

I wonder if we could get the top admins to threaten defederation with any instance that doesn't flag automated posts as bots. This way at least the users have some visibility.

This is pretty normal, you get a surge of users and then it tapers off a bit as people don't like it.

Could be a lot worse, take a look at the user graph for threads.

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

Under a treaty between the Netherlands and UK, Van de Velde was transferred to the Netherlands to serve his sentence. The sentence was at that time adjusted in line with Dutch law, and the charge of rape was substituted for that of fornication.[11] After serving a year of his original four year sentence, he was released from prison.[8]

So basically the Dutch think it's ok for a 19 year old to get a 12 year old drunk and rape her.

The victim would eventually go on to self-harm and once overdosed.

Some people are saying it ok because it was consensual, this doesn't make it sound very consensual to me.

Wtf.

Watch the video. It just means external to the CPU, not an external device.

They demo the attack on a Lenovo laptop in the first minute of the video.

Edit: nm I just realized that was a 10 year old laptop and they're in all the modern procs. I'm a lot less impressed now.

Sounds like intel has external and amd internal with their ftpm?

Given that dealers don't have stock sitting around and are marking up both new and used right now... boo hoo?

Tell me they're not just turning around and selling that to the next person in the list. Really hard to have any sympathy for car dealers after how they've treated consumers.

In the case of an explosive decompression, you can't have that wall trying to resist the pressure difference. It'll blow in a horrible way and probably destroy a ton of circuitry / wiring.

It needs to fail open like this, that design makes sense. The pilots should have been informed though.

An attacker could probably leverage that though to get into the cockpit.

Celebrate without buying gifts.

Why do you need to spend money to celebrate? Spend your time with people instead.

I had one where she obviously wasn't actually interested and just came for the free food cause she was poor. I hung out for a bit, bought her an extra meal to go and then just left.

We've definitely noticed an increase in signups at lemmy.ca when that news was announced. Not all active users yet, but a lot of signups

The best part is it also works on DMs, so it's trivial to get any persons IP address. Want an admins IP address? Just DM them a message with an embedded spy pixel.

I emailed the lemmy developers about this a few weeks ago since IMHO it's a pretty big security issue, no reply.

Wait, they hired someone without even having a video call?

Ask for a raise. Tell them there's no retirement plans because of inflation now, and she can see herself staying there another 10 years.

They might not lay her off because they know she'll retire soon anyways. Increase her cost of employment so it's no longer cost effective to just wait it out.

100% of the internet depends on it, and 90% of technical people can't be bothered to learn how it works and understand it. Partly because they only touch it once every 5 years. They get what they need done but don't understand why it worked, so it ends up feeling like black magic to them.

Implication is that you're incapable of being self sufficient.

Too broke to move out, your parents still cook for you / do your laundry, can't bring a girl home without your parents hearing you get it on, etc.

I have a sliding door that I want to toss a stepper motor on, so my dog can push a button and let himself in / out.

Just to correct the people who say they can't see your password - this is only true if they're running a stock copy of lemmy, which hashes passwords in the database.

They're free to modify their instance however they want, including storing unencrypted passwords or emailing your password on registration to a bot farm.

Always use a unique password for every site you use.

Well yeah, how else do you learn skills? You're not gonna be good at something if you don't push your boundaries.

But real Advil has the candy coating on the outside, and I haven't found a generic that does =(

Otherwise 100% identical yes.

Maybe if slack didn't have an SSO tax, it wouldn't be an issue.

Two big ones in my younger days:

Alt tabbed one too many times, clicked drop database, clicked ok, realized I'd just deleted the live user database for America's Army. Thankfully it was the east coast site and west coast was the primary, and it was only one way replication. We shut down east coast auth and rebuilt the secondary.

Someone distracted me while typing in a vlan command on a switch, I hit enter without double checking, took out our fiber between two datacenters in the middle of a move. Took me 15 minutes to run to the DC, plug in a console cable and fix it. Took all of our customers out.

Typically a distributor deals to stores that deal to end users.

Amazon call themselves a store, but at their scale and volume they're pretty much a distributor.

If adding some analytics adds 5s to the load time, then they need to fire their developers.

There's no way this is accidental.

She's baiting the crap out of him, and he keeps taking it before going off rambling. It's great.

Please America I hope the people that need to watch this, are doing so.

Alt tabbed once too many times, clicked drop database, clicked yes. Realized what I'd done and panicked.

Deleted the user db for the east coast auth server for the game America's Army: Operations. Thankfully it was the secondary so we just redid replication.

That's a pretty disturbing story, and I never would have imagined they would not tell a victim. I understand the argument against it, but the risk of long term mental illness / PTSD from it being suppressed just seems way too high.

Gotta wait until palworld has made a bucket of money for Nintendo to point at, claim damages, then try to take.

My understanding is the media and projectors are heavily tied together with strict DRM. This is why you see cams with direct audio hookups, but not direct video rips

Huh? 22 years is life? That's like 1/4 of a life.

Not advocating either way, just confused.

Wax paper, or just paper, or tin foil.

Like Cadbury creme eggs used to just be wrapped in foil, now they're plastic. <- Apparently this is only in Canada since 2015. TIL.

Get an electric toothbrush. Don't push hard, just slowly move it and hold it gently against your teeth / gums in each spot.

If you hate flossing like I do, a waterpik is helpful.

Brush twice a day.

Don't rinse after brushing like you said.
