  • With that lighting he's definitely streaming, so there is one party involved that's even more interested in people seeing his chair. I wonder if the companies making these abominations even gift them to streamers.

  • Also they’re using “Packerl” for package that’s probably Austria. Maybe Switzerland it’s not like I’m a specialist in mountain gibberish.

    As a native speaker of mountain gibberish I can tell you that's not ours. Either Austria or maybe Bavaria. Their gibberish seems similar to me sometimes.

  • This might be nitpicking, but NBC should be more precise.

    which similarly glorifies Hitler, the architect of the Holocaust

    Adolf Hitler wanted and ordered the extermination of the Jews and other "undesirables", no doubt about that or his culpability. But the role of "architect", the person who designed the logistics for mass killing, is normally ascribed to other people. Adolf Eichmann, the guy the Mossad captured in Argentinia in 1960, is usually called the "Architect of the Holocaust". Sometimes together with Reinhard Heydrich and Heinrich Himmler.

  • The size difference is not significant. This is about the maintenance burden. When you need to change some of the code where CPU architecture specific things happen you always have to consider what to do with the code path or the compiler flags that concern 486 CPUs.

    Here is the announcement by the maintainer Ingo Molnar where he lists some of the things he can now remove and stop worrying about: https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20250425084216.3913608-1-mingo@kernel.org/

  • Yeah I'd second that. It's good for discovering valid settings as you get start, and then once you want to do more complicated stuff, the XML option view becomes useful, and then if you want to try on CLI after all you can start using virsh to administer the same VMs.

    At least that's how I progressed through the stages as I started messing with a Windows VM for a game that doesn't lend itself to hosting on Linux natively.

  • They are so often stateful and fall over when some scanner comes by, or if a light DNS DoS attack happens, compromising the entire access link, when the scanned systems or the DNS server weren't even bothered by the amount of requests.

    They introduce weird unexpected restrictions, like preferring to blackhole our customers traffic rather than accepting some asymmetric routing. And then we get blamed for their setup, which they don't even know.

    They ossify protocol development in general, requiring things like header encryption in QUIC to force them to ignore things that aren't their business anyway.

    They are apparently also expensive as hell, multiple customers have declined upgrades because they don't have fast enough firewalls and not enough budget to buy faster ones.

    Those are the ones that come to mind right now. There are also occasional bugs that make our or our customers lives difficult, but I can't recall a clear one at the moment.

  • giving out my IP to trusted friends

    Just in case you ever get back into it: We regularly see scanners scanning the internet with a million packets per second at work these days. That means it takes them 4000 seconds to scan the entire IPv4 Internet to check who responds on port 3784. So handing out the IP selectively won't be enough.

    I also learned that the hard way privately with my Minecraft server. It was found in a scan and listed on Shodan at some point, and I hadn't put up a whitelist. Some shitty kids came and destroyed whatever they could find before finally putting up signs to mock me lol

  • These developments worry me. The legislative handed over some quasi-legilative power to the executive under the theory that in cases of national security incidents you need to react quickly. It's been getting abused for a while, the "national security" interest has been stretched a lot to cover whatever the executive would like to do without the legislative.

    This has been happening for years, not just during Trump. But now it's getting even worse under the second Trump cabinet. I think this could lead to a toppling of the checks and balances if the legislative doesn't step in soon, and reclaim their devolved powers.
