  • While I appreciate this, there were far too many questions, which were pretty technical for a layperson. And even after picking the most basic options, I was still presented with like six variants of Ubuntu, including Mint and Elementary.

    How about something like:

    • Do you use your computer more for games, or for work?
    • How much do you care about open source?
    • Do you know what a makefile is?
  • While I get the sentiment, historically, readmes have been text only, and should predominately focus on usage options, not a sales pitch. Today in GitHub, these files support markdown, but the level of effort is probably two orders of magnitude higher than a text readme alone.

    Think of a readme file on GitHub/distributed with the binary more as a man page than a proper website.

  • Better question: Is an iPhone less than a tiny PC?

    If it weren’t for the crippled OS, their ridiculous power would be more obvious. They’re probably faster than any two-generation old, mid range CPUs and GPUs, as well.

    That said, remember iPhone Pro phones cost more than most laptops, and by that same token, have more powerful gpus and cpus than most laptops, too.

  • > Such nanoparticles do not occur naturally in the human body and must be administered as markers

    So if I’m reading this right, much like radioactive markers, these must be surgically implanted before they can capture the imaging? In other words, it’s not a direct replacement for MRI or X-ray imaging technologies, though it could potentially be safer for long term care patients that need frequent imaging.

  • While Microsoft should absolutely be held accountable for flaws in its code and its failures to disclose actively-exploited attacks in the wild against said flaws, most organizations have policies (or the lack thereof) resulting in security flaws you can drive a truck through.

    Specifically, a lack of M365 and Teams “app” review and approval processes, a lack of CASB tooling, and grossly inadequate asset inventories and security agent coverage. You can’t protect what you can’t see, and most Microsoft customers are barely doing the minimum.

    Is that Microsoft’s fault, when they explicitly tell your admins you’ve got a “Secure Score” of 19%, and they don’t do shit about it?

  • In any sane world, a member of congress would be immediately expelled for presenting literal nudes, without permission and in bad faith, of a sitting POTUS' family member, who is not, nor has ever been a member of the administration or government employee. of anyone.

    FTFY

  • Lately, email is virtually not a priority outside of work, and is pretty much just storage for service notifications, online receipts, vendor mail, and poor man’s mfa/password resets. I’ve got these classified decently well, and virtually all of these are read/acknowledged in near real time on my phone.

    Human to human comms are now over signal or discord, though admittedly I don’t have a great method to track items needing follow up.

    All said, how is thunderbird these days?

  • The NATO meetings have recently concluded, and now the post-meeting bilateral agreements are being drafted.

    Ultimately this is limited to 3000 reserve forces, which is a 0.23% increase in the size of the US military (~1.4M Active Duty).

  • You are trying to solve two different, but related problems, and there are discrete solutions for both.

    One is a personal cloud. You need a secure place to store your shit from multiple users and devices, from multiple networks. You’ll need a mostly static IP and dyndns or your own domain, and certificates signed by a public CA/letsencrypt.

    Then, you are looking for a backup application that supports rsync or sftp/scp over ssh or vpn, that is also cross compatible (Android and PC/Linux). Point this to the service above, and you are good to go.

  • Keep in mind that in real life, there are two types of energy radiation, reflection and emission.

    First, photos are static records of light at a point in time, and don’t naturally emit light as radiation (in significant enough quantities for consideration). As such, they are only reflective, which is dependent on the light that is already in your environment (e.g., the LEDs in your home are missing huge bands of the spectrum), and as such, these wavelengths may not exist to be reflected by the photo.

    Secondly, photos are generated by either film, or based on a cmos/ccd sensor, which are calibrated to capture a subset of em radiation in the human visible spectrum. As such, they have filtered the light that may be usable to other organisms.

    So based on both of these, depending on similarity to human eyes, no, most animals (non mammals, in particular) would not see photos in the same way as real life.

  • Likely need to define some basic rbac controls. They signed up, sure, but don’t receive a “user” role until after approval. Then in the home page, when signed in with no roles assigned, they get a banner saying they’re still pending approval and will not be able to post or comment.

    The major concern will be retroactively applying user roles to the existing users.
