Yes, because if there is one thing societies of the 1700s are known for, it's consumer protection practices. /s for the /s impaired.

It really doesn't sound good. A loss leader is meant to get you into the store; the gas station is usually far away, in the back of the parking lot. Their $5 chicken now, that's a great "loss leader" (if it even is; that

That's a new take: Project with new release 1 day ago declared deprecated! I've been using Linux for around 2 decades. I am currently running Fedora 43/KDE Plasma ... and wait for it ... Xorg. Why? Because it works. It works

LLMs are good at producing what they/the public know. In this case: LLMs know the USB Spec very well. LLMs know how to read raw packet dumps. LLMs know how to convert a packet dump to USB spec LLMs know how to write code t

I’m not saying yours does, but be careful with LocalCommand, it will often break rsync and other tools that use ssh behind the scenes.

This is exactly why I stopped using Bash around 2012. I was soooo tired of losing random shell history. If you haven't looked into ZSH, it has some really nice customizations. Notably, from my config[1]: # Remove dups setopt HIST

I have nearly a decade of zsh history. Reading that article I came to the conclusion that I may have been hit by that bug in the past but I haven’t noticed. Then I kept reading and the author mentions accidentally exporting HISTFILE[1] and

Seriously. If a zero-day drops in OpenSSH, it's quite literally the end of the world.

This is a bad idea™. You should never have more than one UID 0 on a Unix system. This will violate most corporate security guidelines (STIG and CIS) * . And for good reason. A much better idea is to set up a non-root user and configure sudo

I've been using nftables for port knocking for a while now. I run an SSH tunnel server that needs to be globally accessible. But I don't want it getting hammered by bots nonstop. So, I have this nft script which works alongside Fi

You’re not going to like this answer. But I think you’ve just described a Walmart Supercenter.

Oh man. I just assumed this was unchecked Microslop. It's funny when a brand doesn't realize how the public has started perceiving them and makes quite ironic choices that should have been caught well before they went to the publi

I think this is way too optimistic. I suspect these things will be only available to the already-quite-wealthy. While the poor (i.e., not billionaires) are left to rot and starve without jobs, property, or livelihoods. Then, when the poors

Lenovo has whitelists for both wifi and cell cards. It's highly annoying. A decade ago, I had a Lenovo Yoga 2. The Wi-Fi card it came with only supported 802.11g, or something old and outdated at the time. I learned about the whitelist

Fastmail is like $150 for 3 years. That's cheaper than I can rent any mail-capable VPS for, and it's cheaper than the electricity I'd pay (80W @ $0.15/kWh = $316 over 3 years) to self-host. And that doesn't include

I ran my own self-hosted email server from 2008-ish to 2018, and I would highly recommend against doing it! Especially when Fastmail and Proton are so cheap. I was running Postfix+Dovecot+Seive+SpamAssassin+Fail2ban+certbot+spf+dkim+reverse

Yes, that is what they're referring to. The technical details behind it are kind of cool. It's a "bug" of the JBIG2 compression algorithm. See 1, 2 [1] https://community.apryse.com/t/jbig2-compressio
