An effect can be observable but still negligible in terms of the actual increase of risk.

You think a mercury sandwich isn't a realistic representation of wood.

Wow, you know, after careful consideration I think you may be right. Thanks for your wisdom. Truly enlightening.

I'll go eat some wood.

Sometimes I just don't bother learning new stuff till the old stuff stops working for me. It's amazing how many really simple things people stroll past on their way to god knows where.

If something is part edible and part not, then it really depends on the nature of that not edible bit. If it's inert, then great. If it's not, then you could be kinda fucked.

The fact that something is 45% edible says precisely nothing about whether or not it is edible.

Wood is just less than half cellulose by weight, so wood must be safe to easy.

This mercury sandwich is just less than half bread by weight, so it must be safe to eat.

The answer used to be John the Ripper, but I'm a decade out of date on this stuff, so it might not be any more.

Also, thanks, that's awesome!

OK, but is coffee a soup?

Haha, my table almost had a party wipe in a combat which started with the mage and the bard out front... And continued with the bard running further out front to use Thunderwave.

I might send them this!

Start with -2 bread and add one bread.

You can fear the implications of war without thinking you'll lose it.

Also worth saying 99.9% of air gap failures are due to some idiot getting lazy with a usb stick or a phone. They're a bitch to work with.

(Another 0.09% are someone plugging the wrong cord into the wrong switch by accident or stupidity)

The old answer is a chroot jail, the new answer is a Docker container or VM if Docker won't cut it.

I'm lazy, so Virtualbox is my VM software of choice. I keep a machine with a fresh debian install and just Clone it to make throwaway VMs.

Keep in mind that malicious software on a VM might be isolated from the host in many ways, but if it's allowed to communicate on your network then it can still be dangerous, especially if you have samba shares, or services you don't expose to the outside internet with weak or default passwords. (Did you change the admin password on your router's Web interface?)

Creating a VM with no network interfaces is "mostly safe", but you hear about VM bust out exploits now and then.

In reality, gold standard is a separate physical computer with no network connections to anything but other untrusted physical computers, and no wireless adapters (Bluetooth or WiFi). This is an "air gapped" network, but if you're dealing with shit that makes you want an air gap, either you already know more than you're gonna learn on Lemmy, or you're bout to get your door kicked in by men in black suits :D

Sure, but they don't just go installing arch from an arch ISO, they carefully curate an environment with a team of experts to make sure it doesn't break.

That's not the experience you're gonna have gaming on Arch on your gaming desktop.

Seriously. All this talk of automatically updating versions has my head spinning!

Project Zomboid is worth looking at. It's not my kind of game, but it's great at what it is (top down zombie survival crafring)

What's an ML?
