With a DNS whitelist, all incoming packets are dropped unless the address is on the list. It is like ad block, but reversed. You are not blocking known ad servers, but all servers except those you actually want to connect to. It is a pain in the ass to look at logs and white list all the time. In reality, you only visit around a hundred sites or less that you actually need or want to connect to. Nothing gets in except what you want. That kills most vulnerabilities.

DNS whitelist firewall on a router. Deny everything that is not whitelisted by address and port.

This would make open source dominant and kill off all the rest. Big money will battle to keep digital slavery.

Check in, talk ah.

Most of it.

Mythos that defies evolution and all of natural history. An oversimplification that does not account for the real timeline and complexity between now and the end of the age of scientific discovery when all of science is a fully constrained engineering corpus. Typical collective group think from a society without meritocratic hierarchy after turning education into a class filter, and failing to prevent the nepotism of gross inherited wealth. Now there are no leaders to sell a future anyone wants to buy into, so they peddle dystopian shittery to justify their exploitation and tyranny. Fully constraining biology to an engineering corpus is exponentially more complex than all of current knowledge held, and by orders of magnitude. That is a whole technological age shift that makes the present look like a joke. This dystopian shit is just to justify the war that comes soon because these fuckwits cannot control themselves in every minor age of science. WW1 was Chemistry, WW2 was Physics, the next is Computer Science. The one for Biology is a likely candidate for the great filter. Biology is the greatest and final technology to master. Industrial wasteful tech is not even possible for a millennia before rare planetary resources are fully commercially exhausted. Several will be gone in less than a century. Biology is technology on the order of stellar lifetimes. In that age, you will have everything of now and so much more, but it will all be the result of biology. •»ÀĪÙ¬¶¬§¬×

Probably nothing helpful as you are already way past my understanding. Maybe look at the Darktable documentation or even the “green lantern” stuff (IIRC the name). GL or (something) Lantern is/was an open source software for Canon cameras that breaks out all DSLR features on nearly any Canon camera.

Nearly a decade ago, I had a makeshift product photography studio and messed with Macbeth color charts and profiles matched to a monitor. The tutorial guides I followed were from these two projects IIRC. GL.

Mexico has universal free healthcare starting next year.

Am I visiting (going to) Yosemite, or driving around it?

Did you visit the grand canyon if you did not go to the bottom but only stood on the rim?

Inherited wealth nepotism knows no bounds. Human intelligence is not hereditary, wealth is. That cancer is terminal.

Saleem, Slumbum; same fate, different flame.

Ignorance is the only true evil in the world. The dialect of indifference has shifted empathy the same as will be seen of today through the lens of an equidistant future.

Complex social hierarchy is a super important aspect to account for too. In the proprietary software realm, you infer confidence in the accumulated wealth hierarchy. In FOSS the hierarchy is not wealth, but reputation like in academia or the film industry. If some company in Oman makes some really great proprietary app, are you going to build your European startup over top of it? Likewise, if in FOSS someone with no reputation makes some killer app, the first question to ask is whether this is going to anchor or support a stellar reputation. Maybe they are just showing off skills to land a job. If that is the case, they are just like startups that are only looking to get bought up quickly by some bigger fish. We are all conditioned to think in terms of horded wealth as the only form of hierarchy, but that is primitive. If all the wealth was gone, humans are still fundamentally complex social animals, and will always establish a complex hierarchy. This is one of the spaces where it is different.

It ain’t bad till in the middle of things… or the night, ya wind up somehow tasting it.

When I had my auto body shop, I got access to some estimating software for a short bit. I quickly spotted a pattern where if I looked at a job and honestly estimated, back of the napkin style, how long the job would take for each step, the software estimated 3 times that amount, but it took the long way around to arrive at the same baseline. The supplies were always doubled. This is how I look at every task now. Give it your best estimates and triple that time. assuming you understand the scope of the work, you’ll encompass around 90% of work tasks with the rest going over or under.

The main problem is when following instructions for command line tools. They might figure out how to use dnf instead of apt, but the extra layers required for ostree are not very friendly. There are a ton of potential frustrations in this area, especially with GPU stuff or hobbyist hardware like Arduino where kernel stuff is needed in userland. At least as of nearly 3 years ago, the documentation in this area sucks. I was on Silverblue for a few years and managed to get through the frustrations due to intermediate experience level. I found toolbox useless compared to distrobox. But using this with something like Arduino was annoying at best. The needed dependencies expected by whatever stuff I wanted to install was usually a big mystery with near useless error failure messages and names of packages and libraries totally unrelated to the package naming in DNF. When updating the base OS, stuff built in these containers is totally useless because I could not update the containers to the new OS image. Playing around with Flash Forth on a microcontroller was even worse. I ended up layering a bunch of stuff on the host because the containers were just not working. When I got an Nvidia machine, I went to Fedora Workstation and have had far fewer issues and frustrations. SB wasn’t bad, but it is a pain to use these if you need kernel level access. Just my $0.02. I was actually on SB for ~2-3 years.

I asked the principal engineer about the rider used in aerodynamic testing. He grinned and replied – “but they sure are pretty, right?”

I peed before riding and only carried one water bottle.
