Not bashing on Gentoo or anything, but it’s when I realized why Arch was “simple.”

That’s funny. I switched from Slackware to Gentoo in 2003 because it was simpler.

I’ve enjoyed using proton for my own domain. Adding another 2-3 domains and a second user raises the cost to the point that I just can’t justify. ~$200 up front for two years.

Reddit is curiously silent on this matter. Their SJWs are usually all over shit like this.

Wouldn’t surprise me if their new deal with Google has some influence on which posts go down the drain, and which ones go to the front page.

That was probably his stance when YouTube ad revenue was his stream of income.

In 2024 they pay pennies, and his real income is from sponsorships like those d-brand skins and manscaping utilities. And their own merch, of course.

They’ve been pushing their own media platform (floatplane), so I’m willing to bet this was a bit of a game of chicken with YouTube. YouTube wouldn’t ban one of their biggest channels, and even if they did it’d turn into great publicity for floatplane.

While I don’t think they’d be able to get a lot of their subscribers over to floatplane completely, I do think they’d be able to pull over lots of random views by having their shorts on Facebook, Instagram and whoever else is trying to mimic tiktok these days.

Helen runs your wastewater through a heat exchanger before this step. I guess the actual heat is from the water treatment when the solids are being nommed on in a big bubbly pool of bacteria that give off heat. But outgoing water is warmer than incoming by itself, too.

There’s just not a whole lot of industry close enough to an urban center like Helsinki, but paper mills and burning sorted trash is usually the source for these networks.

That brings a whole new meaning to impostor syndrome.

Unless it’s the same one.

Thanks for the tip!

This was a long-standing showstopper for me & Wayland. I got rid of my work computer instead, but if I get another one I’ll be sure to test this out.

And 1m is only 12 crayons.

They’ve been delaying a vote on it because they haven’t had enough support to get it through.

Looks like they’ll prepare another round in October, which would be voted on in December. They’ll want this to pass under the radar, preferably behind closed doors.

Seems enough countries have changed their stance that it could pass this time, unless we keep putting pressure on our representatives.

Why would they name their robot after the second best autobot?

Everyone knows Ultra Magnus is the best one.

Telegram chats are encrypted. (in transport)

Only “secret chats” are fully e2ee, though.

I think you got the point. Criminals use the same services as the rest of us. CSAM is being used as pretext to outlaw or bypass end-to-end encryption.

It’s a noble cause, but it puts all of us in a vulnerable position. As post-communist countries know from past experience, once these measures are in place the next government will use it for surveillance of all kind when it’s their turn.

Yes, I know. If you have nothing to hide, you have nothing to fear. I’m not doing anything illegal at the toilet, but I still prefer to keep the door closed - even if I’m home alone.

Chat control 1.0 has been voluntarily inplemented by big platforms, but it has not been fruitful. Lots of false positives and not enough resources to look at the true positives. The delegates preparing this have demonstrated poor technical understanding.

Whistleblowers won’t have confidence in anonymity. A journalist asked the author (Ylva Johansson) of the proposal if he, as a journalist, would still be able to receive tips from whistleblowers with secrecy. She stumbled ln her answer and said that CSAM should be illegal.

Police and officials are of course exempt from chat control 2.0. Secrecy for me, but not for thee. . .

Except the getaway driver is just a cabbie who will drive anyone who gets in. He didn’t know he was part of a heist.

Would you hold the CEO of lyft responsible if one of their self-driving cars were used in a heist?

Looks like France is enforcing chat control 2.0 a bit prematurely.

The EU council is meeting to discuss it again on October 10. A new vote is likely in mid-December. Many parties and countries have turned their coat to support the proposal.

The fight is not over.

You forgot the /s

and not lose files

Which is exactly why you’d want to run a CoW filesystem with redundancy.

I switched in 1997.

The internet was taking off, and it was built on Linux and un*ces. It was just a lot more fun.

Also, C-programming. M$ had just gotten protected memory in NT4.0, but a lot of applications just didn’t run on NT. It’d take another three years before protected memory hit mainstream with win2k. No novice programmer wants their computer to bluescreen every time they do a tiny little out of bounds error.

My spouse has switched from Plex to Jellyfin

Maybe it’s time to try again? Or consider another spouse?

I worked at a niche factory some 20 years ago. We had a tape robot with 8 tapes at some 200GB each. It’d do a full backup of everyone’s home directories and mailboxes every week, and incremental backups nightly.

We’d keep the weekly backups on-site in a safe. Once a month I’d do a run to another plant one town over with a full backup.

I guess at most we’d need five tapes. If they still use it, and with modern tapes, it should scale nicely. Today’s LTO-tapes are 18TB. Driving five tapes half an hour would give a nice bandwidth of 50GB/s. The bottleneck would be the write speed to tape at 400MB/s.
