Ransomware gang targets Windows admins via PuTTy, WinSCP malvertising
  • Search engine advertisements have become a massive problem over the past couple of years, with numerous threat actors utilizing them to push malware and phishing sites.

    It's a good thing that Google is fighting so hard to block the use of adblockers, since the shareholders' profits are so much more important than the safety of everyone else.

    Edit. Actually, now that I'm thinking about it, malinois just take everything to the extreme. When they get excited, you've never seen a dog more excited. When they get protective, they're the most. And so on.

  • 1: the reason I supported them before COVID, during, and now, and the reason I support their legalization.

    But...

    2: COVID has trained facial recog algorithms to identify masked faces. Those algorithms still have a hard time with identify altering makeup, but don't seem to have any issues with masks. True privacy no longer exists. Freedom to protest in most countries is restricted to public spaces. When you privatize everything (including education), public spaces diminish, and your right to protest with it.

  • North Carolina lawmakers push bill to ban most public mask wearing, citing crime
  • I'm fairly certain that the source for this is bank robbers of yore. But this goes under "we do this, because we've always done it that way", and it's the absolute worst reason to keep doing something. I, for one, enjoyed and supported my right to wear masks for the sole reason that it hid a good part of my face. Didn't do much for facial recog, as we saw, but humans have a hard time identifying and remembering faces without seeing a mouth. I knew the masks weren't real respirators and weren't nearly as effective as they could have been (the reason I wore an actual respirator pre COVID and during), but I very much enjoyed the added privacy for everyone nonetheless.

  • North Carolina lawmakers push bill to ban most public mask wearing, citing crime
  • That's fair. I also haven't been back, but not because of him haha

  • F#ck the past
  • They're not "grave robbers". They're "archeologists".

  • North Carolina lawmakers push bill to ban most public mask wearing, citing crime
  • Isn't it already illegal to cover your face from above the nose downward in NC? I went there on a business trip a couple years before COVID, and wore a respirator while outside. A cop stopped me and told me that it's against statute to cover my face in public places. I explained to him that I'm not from there and pollen in that state, at least in Charlotte, was horrific. He was understanding, but highly recommend I find another way. I thanked him and we parted ways. I was leaving the next day, so I didn't find another way.

    This article makes it sound that they're not going to make it illegal, since it already is, but are, instead, going to make it a higher crime if you commit one while wearing a mask. What I'm gathering, is basically "wear one if you want. But if you commit a misdemeanor while wearing one, it'll be a felony" (or however the scales increase). Did I misunderstand?

  • Report: Microsoft to face antitrust case over Teams
  • But then Microsoft can't say that people are opting to move from Teams to New Teams, and show how amazing the people think New Teams is. I don't know if that's why they're doing it that way, but it feels like that.

  • [Solved] How do I resize this band

    !

    There are no arrows, no obvious pins, no pin latches. This band is different than all of the ones I've ever sized. Does anyone know how to remove links from this band?

    Edit: user Septimaeus was correct in that it was a fixed link band. The link they provided helped in understanding what is requires to resize, and the band now fits my wrist like it was made for it. Thanks!!

    Do InvisibleFence brand controller units work with non-IF collars?

    Do InvisibleFence brand controller units work with non-InvisibleFence brand collars?

    I have an InvisibleFence brand controller unit, and would like to get a collar for it. The InvisibleFence brand stuff requires their techs come out to your house and do whatever it is that they do (at a significantly higher cost). If the controller unit works (tested and verified), will other brand collars work with it?

    Edit: Some of the other brands do work with the InvisibleFence brand underground system, as long as the collar is also designed for the same type of system (the collar should be called something like 'receiver collar'). The issue I'm running into, though, is that I don't like the shock collars, in general. While not as restrictive or cruel as an 8m tether, according to the vets I've spoken to, I still find it needlessly cruel. So, I'm working with the landlord to allow me to install an above ground fence with a dig protection system. It's going to be very expensive, but I'm hoping I can just increase the monthly payments some to make up for it. I've signed a long-term agreement anyway, so I'm here for a while.

    Rip and index DVDs?

    Are there any automatic or semiautomatic tools that will rip a set of DVDs from a tv show, and label the resulting vids (like Show name - s##e## or similar)?

    I want to digitize entire series (of DVDs I own) for an in-home streaming server, and it's super annoying to name each file individually.

    The worst part of ADHD (IMO)

    The impulsivity is bad, wasted so much money and time. The hyperfocus, when on the wrong task, has cost me hours in that day. The poor planning / time management has landed me in a world of hurt more times than I care to admit. The low tolerance for distractions / hot temper has caused me to hurt those whom I love most in this world. The inability to properly direct my focus on a task has caused me to lose sight of, and therefore miss, deadlines.

    That's all bad.

    But the worst part for me? The part that doctors don't seem to even attempt to address (except for direct symptom management, which barely work)? Emotional mirroring. If you're depressed and I'm with you, guess what happens to me? Today sucked. Depression is an unrelenting bitch, and I hate her with every fiber of my being.

    Yesterday, I was reading this post on an open source solution to detecting and deleting CSAM material on Lemmy. I was reading the post, then my browser crashed mid-read. I've been looking for it ever since, and can't find it. Can anyone link it?

    Fireweed Coffee Co. Ethiopia Yorgacheffe

    Black tea is strong, as are fruity notes (blackberry, maybe?). The acidity of the kiwi is there somewhat, but mostly, I taste its sweetness. I'm not sure I taste the lemongrass at all, but that's not saying much, as it could just be masked by the other notes. Overall, this is a very nice roast.

    Where can I get more of these plastic caps?

    I have these wire shelves that are held together with these plastic caps. I'm reconfiguring the layout and ran out of caps. It's been a decade+/- since we got these, and I can't remember the name. Does anyone know where I can get more of these caps? Or, at least, what these caps and/or shelves are called, so I can go hunting for them?

    Espresso machines reliability chart

    cross-posted from: https://lemmy.world/post/2468271

    Original post was titled "Coffee machines reliability chart", but the image says that they're in the "espresso machine category".

    > The biggest swiss online seller makes charts for warranty claims. Basically: how many warranty claims does each brand have? This chart only shows the most popular brands of coffee machines sold on the site, but I still find it interesting.
