Nostalgic Distros?
  • Haiku. Was close enough for the feels.

  • Nostalgic Distros?
  • I booted a VM with BeOS for nostalgia a couple months ago. Remember booting that as a kid and drooling over how fast it was.

  • Majority of Americans now use ad blockers
  • uBlock Origin at a minimum. But I would suggest a privacy focused browser. Librewolf, Mulvad or even Brave. Browsers leak so much information about you it is easy for sites to fingerprint and track you even with an ad blocker.

    I know Librewolf is working on their DNS leakage (last section on privacytests.org), but they also allow you to select a privacy focused DNS server which is nice when you’re not on a network you own, so you can’t run PiHole.

  • YSK: it's not just Tesla, 1/3 of cars in built in the last ten years have passenger/rear windows that are almost impossible to break in an emergency.
  • I have no idea. I wasn’t there and didn’t even know about it until right now. Door could have been jammed shut after the accident like any other door that firefighters keep their jaws of life for.

  • I hate Tesla and traded mine in after only two months of ownership, but in no way is the lever hidden or not extremely obvious. In fact it is more obvious than the button. Several times I had passengers try to use the manual lever, which doesn't lower the window when used. After the second person did it, moving forward I told every person who hadn't been in my car before to use the button before getting out. Was one of the many reasons I traded it in.

  • Haier, the air conditioner maker, takes down open source third-party Home Assistant integration
  • Make sure to check all of Haier’s subsidies. GE is one of them.

    The US government is forcing Google and Apple to share push notification data with them. Even if the content is not sent, the metadata alone can let them know who you are talking to and when using metadata correlation.

  • LinkedIn user data leaked: Database shows emails, profile data, phones, full names, and more confidential info.
  • It’s just BreachForums. Pretty sure the whole site is a honey pot.

  • Money shot of my Unraid Server

    I printed this for my LSI card to mount my fan. Works great!

  • Need a Rapid Rethink on my NAS/Docker Setup
  • I bought the rear backplane for the dual 2.5 inch drives in the back. Going to throw the boot OS on it so I don’t have to worry about a USB drive dying or becoming corrupted. Good luck on your journey. Really interested to hear how it goes.

  • Need a Rapid Rethink on my NAS/Docker Setup
  • Ooof you have me worried. My R720XD shipped out yesterday and is supposed to arrive Monday. My plan was to install TruNAS Scale on it to replace my old tower with unraid installed on it. I have roughly 25 docker containers that I run. What kind of errors did you see? It’s scheduled to be installed in the data center week after next so I don’t have a bunch of time to troubleshoot.

  • Hacking group Cult of the Dead Cow plans system to encrypt social media and other apps
  • It’s had to have been 25 years since I last heard about them.

    edit: just hit their Wikipedia page and saw Beto O'Rourke was a member!

  • You didn't bought it you rented it!
  • Doctors offices and health insurance. It’s weird but technically fax machines are still considered “secure” communications for sending PHI. Sending it across the internet requires a lot of expensive hoops to jump through, or they could just buy a fax machine.

  • The time has come to reduce/remove DRS

    For those who weren't around back then: The 2009 aero regs introduced multi-element front wings. These new wings allowed for significantly more downforce allowing for cars to handle more power before losing grip. However, when an attacker got within a second or two of someone they'd start to lose all that new grip and power due to dirty air. This was a tremendous disadvantage to an attacker to the point where faster (on paper) cars would just get stuck behind slower ones.

    Two years later in 2011, DRS was introduced to "promote passing". It didn't directly reduce the dirty air, but it gave enough of an advantage to an attacker to offset the disadvantage of dirty air. This was pretty controversial initially with some calling it "push to pass", but over time we have mostly either become used to it or it is the only thing we've known.

    The new 2021 aero regulations have been very successful in cleaning up dirty air. The disadvantage to attacking has been significantly reduced as they can get much closer before losing all that grip. Rather than reduce the advantage of DRS to compensate, the FIA has been adding in additional DRS zones. They have now reduced the advantage to slower cars, while simultaneously increasing the advantage to faster cars. This is just exacerbating the already existing performance gaps between teams and I'm pretty sure we all want the grid to be more competitive.

    In my opinion, this is causing the grid to spread out and settle into position too early on into races. The remainder/end of races are fairly boring unless something chaotic happens like weather or a safety car. Desert race with long straights? :yawn: DRS was a quick and easy solution, but I think the FIA should be reducing DRS zones at a minimum, if not just remove DRS all-together.

    tldr; DRS was a bandaid. The FIA should also reduce/remove the bandaid now that they've reduced dirty air.

  • This. I'm sure it's already happening. People training LLMs are already pointing their models towards ActivityPub.

  • It is possible to achieve the 6 nines?
  • 6 nines is really really difficult. It’s hard to estimate costs without specific requirements, but a marketplace site with 1000 daily users means you’re expecting about 1 user per minute, which isn’t a lot. I’d imagine you could get by with the cheapest cloud hosting.

    The real problem is that most major cloud providers don’t offer 6 nines. Even AWS only offers credits below 99.5%, so you’d want to not lock yourself into a single provider. My best suggestion is to have a small/cheap server with all of the big names and load balance/round robin between them.

  • Quite a bit of space could be saved with database compression. The database side of things has lower hanging fruit right now though.

  • Substance found in White House confirmed to be cocaine
  • Don't think this is really onion-y. It was found at one of the tables where visitors put their belongings when going through security. I'm honestly shocked this doesn't happen more often. TSA deals with dropped drugs on a daily basis. Hell there are containers in some airports specifically to throw away your illegal items.
