Yeah it's not very helpful. That page says "see the sidebar", when the sidebar is what pointed you to that page in the first place...

I think they're referring to the terms of service, which has a 5.0.1: https://legal.lemmy.world/tos/

If it's only on the ESP, it won't persist across reinstalls, and definitely not drive swaps.

But I do see mentions of attacking via firmware capsule. If that works, then yes, that will persist.

A singularity is the single point mass at the center of an ideal (Schwarzschild) black hole. But mathematically, that can only happen if the mass that forms the black hole isn't rotating. In reality, all the mass in the universe is moving around, because mass is not distributed uniformly, so gravity is pulling stuff around in a big mess. So when a black hole forms, it's definitely a rotating (Kerr) black hole.

A rotating mass has different gravity than a non-rotating mass. Not by much, but when you've got the enormous mass of a black hole, it becomes significant. This causes objects "falling into" a black hole to "miss" the point at the center, and form more of a cloud during spaghettification.

The article is fairly accessible if you sit down and read it.

Honestly, inside the event horizon, everything stops making sense compared to our day-to-day experiences. The immense gravitational forces distort space and time. It doesn't really make sense to think about objects remaining intact as recognizable objects once they cross the event horizon.

How? You could certainly temporarily break the boot process, but I can't see how you'd completely brick it.

My favorite is when the sssd package maintainers don't properly update their dependencies, so when some of the packages get updated, they don't pull in others, and then I'm not able to log in with my external account.

It depends. I've used a chargeback where I sent a product back for a warranty repair, and the seller stopped responding. The bank just wanted documentation, and they put it through. I imagine you could argue for a chargeback in this case, if you used a credit card.

Also tell the person administering it to do it slowly. In my experience, most of the pain was from them doing it too fast. Something about the fluid stretching the muscle in painful ways before it can spread out, or something.

If electric bikes were the only thing allowed on back roads, you'd never be able to make enough grocery/dump/Tractor Supply runs to have time for anything else in your life.

The monitor seems to be recommending you use mode 1280x1024. Have you tried that?

Either self-encrypting drives (if you trust the OEM encryption) or auto-unlock with keys in the TPM: https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Trusted_Platform_Module#Data-at-rest_encryption_with_LUKS

Same. Well, not forced, but using Linux would just make everything more difficult. I like being able to drop to a shell and use a Linux environment with its useful utilities to manipulate stuff on my Windows PC.

Yeah, I could use mingw, but that is a pain, and I can't just apt install stuff.

I can’t just run an extention cord out an open window.

This is exactly what my neighbor does in his apartment.

But he has a driveway, so it's not like he's running it over the sidewalk or anything.

I can't count the number of times I had to do that under ESXi, or do manual vSAN recoveries, so I found myself quite comfortable doing that in proxmox too (especially since proxmox is regular debian).

Google Drive does not count as cloud backup, especially for something business-critical.

They don't have to be stolen. Imagine some clever thief drugging your drink, then when you're incapacitated they take your phone and press your finger to it or hold it up to your face to unlock it, then transfer all your money out of Venmo or whatever money transfer app you have on your phone.

Just now? Not after any of these? Or the fact that it's controlled by China?

What do you mean "doesn't work"? Is there some error message in the log (dmesg, /var/log/messages, on the console, whatever raspbian uses)?

Still can. Only a few years ago, I would cat random things to classmates' tty devices.

Okay, so can we shunt all the "tech billionaire celebrity entertainment" posts somewhere else?

Yeah. I know of ancient AS/400 and slightly less ancient RS/6000 systems still humming along, keeping insurance companies running.

But they probably haven't seen software updates in decades. Linux 1.0 didn't even exist when they were new, let alone 6.7.
