SysOp, Gamer, Nerd. In no particular order.
I read this as “We’re not competitive on a global market anymore, so let’s retreat into an shrinking niche, until we’re gone or someone buys us”.
Sure, they can’t compete in price, considering Chinese subsidies, but how about competing in the upper market, with quality and sophistication… Oh, wait… those are US car makers. They wouldn’t know quality if it smacked them in the face.
Well, then. Leave the low end to China and the high end to Germany and Japan then.
if you ignore the human element
And that’s you problem right there. The same people that can get tricked into revealing their SN#, mother’s maiden name, etc. are the ones who would reveal their private keys to a scammer.
Fraud is a social problem, technology can assist in managing them, but not solve the issue. In the end, it’s all about the human factor.
Which means Russia has to move assets from other parts of the country to replace the destroyed equipment, creating gaps Ukraine can exploit, This reinforces the idea of how fragile Russia’s defenses are
I was wrong in one thing, it hasn’t been a thing for 10 years, but for 20. It was determined by the Minister of Justice, based on article 55 of the Consumer Protection Code. More here. I remember seeing some warnings on labels back when the rule was new. My opinion is that companies got smarter and realized that those warnings were damaging to their brands, so they just stopped with the practice of shrinking products, which is why you never noticed.
This has been the law in Brazil for more than 10 years now. We have lots of problems here, but at least our consumer protection laws are top notch. And, believe or not, they’re enforced successfully.
I use Heimdall too, with a bunch of other things. One of them is Pihole.
Pihole will not only help blocking ads at DNS level, it will also work as DHCP server and resolve localy configured addresses, like homepage.ourhome.
Put it on your network and disable the DHCP feature in your WiFi router/firewall (you may need to explicitly set it to forward DHCP to Pihole).
One warning, do not set up names like host.local. the TLD .local is reserved it will cause issues.
Banning TikTok would be as good as banning Facebook, Instagram or XTwitter, by that I mean it would be a net gain for society as a whole. But you have to ban them all, without discriminating based on which nation they originated.
But this is not the case here, this is the US congress enacting barriers towards foreign competitors, just like they did with steel, sugar and cars (ever wondered why you can’t buy one of those little European cars in America?).
This TikTok bullshit is Huawei all over again. It’s not to protect “national security” or “the children”, the Huawei ban was all about protecting the business of American companies during the transition from 4G to 5G.
You can set Firefox to block auto-play, even if you open the tab in the foreground, put uBlock origin on top of it and you get rid of most of those annoying videos.
Shift+Ins was the default paste on Windows 3.0, before Apple sued Microsoft for copying their OS (back in then it was still called just “System”), so MS added Ctrl+C for Windows 3.1, but the old one still work.
Same thing for Xorg. Ctrl+Ins for copy, Ctrl+Del for paste and Ctrl+Ins for paste.
I could say the same about Microsoft.
That might be true inside Russia, but not in the rest of the world. F5 could sue in the US and force the registrar responsible for the .org TLD to hand the domain to them.
In his place, I would chosen something related but different enough to avoid trademark infringement, like “Freeginx”. IANAL, but I believe sometimes all it takes is one letter to keep lawyers away.
Being even more pedantic, KVM is the hypervisor, QEMU is a wrapper around it and Proxmox provides a management interface to it.
Any Linux distro running KVM/QEMU - Add Cockpit if you need a web interface, or use Virt-Manager, either directly or over X-forwarding
No need for X forwarding, you can connect Virt-Manager to a remote system that has libvirt,
For my private repos, hosted on my home server, I moved from Gitlab to Forgejo (Git, artifacts and containers images) and Woodpecker for CI builds. Woodpecker is not as powerful and feature complete as Gitlab, but for simpler needs it gets the job done.
Even if it was fully operational, Western artillery used by Ukraine is more precise with longer range than Russian, so they can target the ruskies with less risk.
To give you an idea how poor this makes them, the largest municipality in my country, São Paulo, has a GDP of $170B. Yes, that’s right, one city in Brazil has more than 3X North Korea’s GDP.
Hell, Microsoft paid more than that for ActiBlizzard… North Korea is pathetic, the only reason it still exists is China, that wants them there as a buffer between them and US allies South Korea and Japan.
Well, Russia could send the Baltic Fleet to the Tsushima Straight in order to fight the Japanese: https://yewtu.be/watch?v=yzGqp3R4Mx4
That site is likely written by AI, so is no surprise that it makes such stupid mistakes.
In that case, without encryption, your safety is zero. That’s the exact scenario that full-drive encryption was designed for.
How, for fuck sake, Russia managed to lose 60 ships to a country that has NO NAVY ?!?
Holy! Shit!
