Linux distros are getting mature

I think this is exactly it. Back in the early days of Fedora and Ubuntu a new release often meant major bug fixes, new software, and possibly a significant qol/usability changes and performance changes. Now, its all new versions of stable software, which all behave roughly the same. Which is exactly what you want in a daily driver OS. Stability.

Ah is capacity, A is flow rate. As long as the voltages are correct, it'll charge eventually.

Ah == size of the bucket, A is the size of the hose you fill it with.

Thats for proving its untampered with right? I'm more thinking of validating the archive copy is a "true" copy when adding it initially, which requires each node to check against the live site?

Its definitely an intriguing idea though, but I don't know enough to know how feasable it can be

I figured that every node would need to scrap the site, in order to validate the content. If there are thousands of nodes, that would ddos the site.

I don't really understand how PoW would solve that, can you explain?

Yeah, quite possibly. Could still be very hard to get right. Region blocking might make consensus difficult.

Edit: just occurred to me, any method of consensus could be used to ddos sites as well. Might be best left for people smarter than me

There was a ActivityPub wiki clone, no idea where it got to.

The major upside of IA being built and owned by one central company is trust. We can (so far at least, if I'm wrong please correct me) trust IA to not censor/rewrite history. As soon as every man and his dog can contribute, that gets a lot harder to guarantee.

Don't take me linking it as endorsement, I think federated wiki's for anything other than fandom stuff to be madness.

Is there something deeper going on with IV fluids? I was in hospital in Aus a few months back, and they had an IV fluids shortage as well, long before any hurricane in a far off country occurred.

Same setup, and its largely fine, but about 5-10% of the time bitwarden/keyboard will fail to show the password auto complete buttons, and I'll have to copy paste manually, or restart Firefox. Really annoying, albeit rare.

Thats a repo of existing malware. Be careful with it. You can use that to start reverse engineering an existing malware. Use a VM that isnt connected to a network.

If you want to write something, go for it. Often malware is tailored to a single OS (Windows), so cross platform is less of a concern.

The hard part of writing malware is doing it in an undetectable way, which will usually require deeper OS knowledge, which you'll have to acquire over time. YouTube has some good videos if you hunt around.

There are two reasons to avoid a union:

1. Fear of retaliation - Amazon et al.
2. Perceived lack of need.

If you are well looked after by your company and are treated fairly, there is no need to create a union.

Apple may be in this category?

You'll definitely get lots of login attempts. I used to have a port 22 ssh, hundreds of attempts per day.

Would be interesting to see what post login behavior was.

Definitely interesting

Wanna bet they expose SSH on port 22 to the internet on their "critical" servers? 🤣

Sure, but the author makes it sounds like thats its their standard way of doing things, which is insane.

And if you do have a misconfiguration, the rational thing is to fix that, not dump the entire platform.

If the hypervisor or any of its components are exposed to the Internet

Lemme stop you right there, wtf are you doing exposing that to the internet...

Its still pretty common in wedding services to announce the couple as "Mr and Mrs [Man Name]". Even seen it when the bride isnt taking the husbands surname.

My partner and I hate it as well.

If your goal is to interrupt her usage to avoid excessive usage, would a pomodoro timer help?

I dunno if that can be setup to force lock the screen or something, but maybe its helpful? Depends if its easy to override?
