PShaw, that’s how I had to do it. Slackware on floppy. Pre-internet search engine, one computer per household. No cellular data.

windows -> Dial up -> look at some docs, take nodes -> reboot into Slackware -> mess with the console -> get stuck -> reboot into windows -> repeat

Context for the masses…

”Strabismus (crossed eyes) is a common eye condition among children. It is when the eyes are not lined up properly and they point in different directions (misaligned). One eye may look straight ahead while the other eye turns in, out, up, or down."

The search term to find it is autologon, but as everyone has mentioned, this is a last resort and JF should just be run as a service.

Hells yeah, trying not to programmatically block things so I don’t miss something that’s actually important, but you can’t doom scroll this @#$%

Off the news, out of facebook and reduced Politics subs by half

You really need to get your backups in order.

No, what you stated is why red voted red. This race wasn’t lost because red voted red. This race was lost because blue didn’t vote. The numbers are very clear it’s a little more red than there was last time but there was a lot less blue

Minimum open services is indeed best practice but be careful about making statements that the attack surface is relegated to open inbound ports.

Even Enterprise gear gets hit every now and then with a vulnerability that’s able to bypass closed port blocking from the outside. Cisco had some nasty ones where you could DDOS a firewall to the point the rules engine would let things through. It’s rare but things like that do happen.

You can also have vulnerabilities with clients/services inside your network. Somebody gets someone in your family to click on something or someone slips a mickey inside one of your container updates, all of a sudden you have a rat on the inside. Hell even baby monitors are a liability these days.

I wish all the home hardware was better at zero trust. Keeping crap in isolation networks and setting up firewalls between your garden and your clients can either be prudent or overkill depending on your situation. Personally I think it’s best for stuff that touches the web to only be allowed a minimum amount of network access to internal devices. Keep that Plex server isolated from your document store if you can.

Gloves and respirator, hand wash all of the dishes one at a time, put them on the counter. Feel the sink full of hot water add bleach to proper disinfectant levels plus a little bit for sanity. Soak the dishes in the bleach water for 30 minutes. Hand rinse, hand dry, put them away.

Fresh sink of sanitizer

Take the baskets and filters out of the dishwasher, hose them off outside. Put any parts small enough to fit in the sink into the sanitizer. Disassemble the steam vent in the front spray it down with something bleach-based, If any parts can be safely removed and don’t have metal put them in the sanitizer too.

Use 409 or something bleach-based to spray out the inside of the tub and scrub it down with paper towels.

Put the baskets, filters and vents back in. Add a cup of vinegar and run a heavy duty cycle.

Have to make sure you don’t let bleach sit in the tub for too long it’ll destroy the seals and it can be rough on the circulation pump.

Not my first biohazard, probably not my last either.

If by not linked you mean wholly owned by…

The Mozilla Corporation, a wholly owned subsidiary of the Mozilla Foundation, works with the community to develop software that advances Mozilla’s principles. This includes the Firefox browser, which is well recognized as a market leader in security, privacy and language localization. These features make the Internet safer and more accessible.

Billy West is 72, and Katey Sagal is 70. They’re trying to voice 20yo’s. There is a limited amount of content we’re going to get out of them. I’m also sure the budget wasn’t was it once was for the VA’s or the writers.

I’m happy that we’re getting more content. Even mediocre content has gems in it. I do wish they’d stray away from current issues as it takes them so long to produce episodes at this burn rate that the content is a bit aged by the time we’re watching it.

I suspect their financial position has changed. Perhaps Google’s being found as a monopoly has made them decide not to help fund Mozilla’s efforts as substantially.

Ashley Boyd lead the advocacy team, here’s the kind of stuff they were doing:

In fall of 2016, Mozilla fought for common-sense copyright reform in the EU, creating public education media that engaged over one million citizens and sending hundreds of rebellious selfies to EU Parliament. Earlier in 2016, Mozilla launched a public education campaign around encryption and emerged as a staunch ally of Apple in the company’s clash with the FBI. Mozilla has also fought for mass surveillance reform, net neutrality and data retention reform.

“The Mozilla Foundation is reorganizing teams to increase agility and impact as we accelerate our work to ensure a more open and equitable technical future for us all. That unfortunately means ending some of the work we have historically pursued and eliminating associated roles to bring more focus going forward,” read the statement shared with TechCrunch.

Reading between the lines, I’d keep an eye on them collecting your data and consider one of the privacy-focused forks.

Lrrreconsilable ndndifferences

Fry wrote the comic saving Leela near the intro, foreshadowing him saving Leela later in the episode.

Yeah, a company got toasted because one of their admins was running Plex and had tautulli installed and opened to the outside figuring it was read-only and safe.

Zero day bug in tat exposed his Plex token. They then used another vulnerability in Plex to remote code execute. He was self-hosting a GitHub copy of all the company’s code.

Home assistant Web app would be fine.

We’re a long way from trusting it to do something critical without intervention.

AI would be good at looking at an X-ray after a doctor and pointing out anomalies. But it would be bad to have it tell the doctor that everything looks fine.

Yeah, you still need the CPU to move all the data to the video card and to and from the memory. The stuff I play doesn’t mind 30 frames per second, I’m not really much of a stickler for high settings. But even the shitty unity games are starting to struggle

China certainly could be lying.

Half of the US states are purposely bankrupting their education systems to make sure that the 1 percenters are the only ones with any advantage. Even in the States that aren’t actively trying to stamp out education the poor and middle class can’t afford a respectable education.

China is sitting on a pile of natural resources and doesn’t have any problems with underpaying and working people to death.

They’re set up to do a lot with very little, they have a lot of people and resources and they’re not afraid to educate enough people to get the job done.

It’s not just space, they’re getting places with electric cars that we can’t touch.

It’ll be interesting to see where all this ends up.

He wants in on the new authoritarian regime. Slowing down or stopping electric cars is on their to do list.

I keep a root folder. On Windows it’s in c:\something on Linux it’s in /something

Under there I’ve got projects organized by language. This helps me organize nix shells and venvs.

Syncthing keeps the code bases and synced between multiple computers

I don’t separate work from home because they don’t live in the same realm.

Only home stuff in the syncthing.
