I have a wiki! Covers way more diverse topics than self-hosting though. It’s mostly a copy pasted stream of consciousness and links to other resources, with varying quality. Lots of stub articles.


Sounds good and reasonable!

Using Ansible, but it still means I need to run it and schedule patches etc. – you can’t just patch stuff when people are currently working on it.


You can use configuration management software like Ansible or Puppet. I wouldn’t write my own scripts when there are good Ansible modules.


You quoted something directly contradicting what you said. Nothing is concealed, every line of erroneous code could have been analysed for 15 years. All information needed to find the bug was public since it the code has been written and checked in publicly.


You confused “obscurity” as in a synonym for low popularity with the word “obscurity” as in people not knowing how it works and people deliberately hiding the inner workings of a system.
Everyone using Linux can know how it works, that’s the opposite of obscurity in the sense it is used within “security by obscurity”.
Apart from that, Linux is very popular, just not on the Desktop. It is therefore not obscure in the sense of popularity either, at least the components which are hit by the bug mentioned in the article.


ugh shit next week will be awful at work patching all those servers. At least they found it before bad actors did.


Well but MOLLE is pretty practical for a baby carrier. You can add lots of attachments like bottle holders. And having a baby in front of you is basically like a meat shield, if someone shoots at you the projectile still needs to penetrate the baby to hit you. I don’t see an issue there.


Now we just go together. They only talk to him
What the fuck, if I’d be your husband I’d just tell them to “talk to my wife because she knows more about cars than me”.


It’s OK to say you like cars and don’t know how they work. But the moment they’re laughing at me because I don’t know the current model lineup of BMW, while simultaneously not being able to explain what a carburetor is, is where I draw the line.


You can run Steam in Firejail and only give it access to the folders it needs. The same goes for games. Almost no penalty in execution speed (I’d wager <<1%). It already has a preconfigured profile for Steam, you just need to add your library folder if it’s somewhere else than your user folder.
Steam already additionally runs games in a bubblewrap sandbox as far as I know.
If you use GoG, you can install Heroic Launcher, which is open source. Then you can wrap the games you download with it in Firejail aswell.
You can also run it in Flatpak and restrict folder access with Flatseal, but I often had issues with the Flatpak installation of Steam.
If you have the money and can buy a DRM free game, please do so. Many games on Steam by Indie developers also have no DRM or only Steamworks DRM which can be circumvented by a sjngle .dll (or .so) replacement. Support Indie creators, but certainly do pirate games from larger studios.


The car fandom. The amount of people who can’t explain how a motor works but try to mansplain me how one motor is “better than the other” simply because it has more displacement is… Staggering.
Someone recently told me that electrical motors are bad for the environment because you need to replace the brushes every few thousand kilometers.
And to top it all off, apparently older cars are better for the environment because bigger motors run more efficiently when they’re not at 100% power. I nearly get an aneurysm talking to those people.


What benefit does that give you for media viewing?
What exactly about X.509 is trash for that use case?


Sadly couldn’t find anything. Thing is, if you watch your own media, why use TOR?!
I’m just saying it’d be nice if you linked your article on your homepage.


you’re not actually against AI, you’re against hustle culture, influencers and unsustainable practices.
96.5% of all AI projects are linked to that. If 96.5% of my tap water tastes like poop and 3.5% are potable, I’d still not want to drink it.


Yeah thankfully I’m not addicted, but then again, I understand people getting addicted because it’s the best feeling I ever had in my life (and will ever have, because I can’t feel this happiness anymore).
Covering the unnecessary parts is correct, even if you need to show ID anywhere.
Maybe he wanted to know if you were 18 or sth, but there your photo and birthdate should’ve been enough.
Apart from that I don’t think only older men can respect their women. It’s true that men above 30 have matured somewhat but you can find decent people in any age range. And, obviously, bad people too, as you discovered.
