Really? While I'm in the office?

I don't see a problem here. If the US auto makers are so worried, they should buy a few of them, copy their secrets, and sell them at a marked down price.
Turnabout is fair play, after all.

Strawberrum sounds like it'll be at least 20% abv. I'd like a nice cold glass of that.

shininghero ,

Needs more vegetables, meat, and salt to be a soup. But by that logic, you could call the ocean a soup.

shininghero ,

You can do both as well. Buy a legit copy to support the studio, and then run the pirated version for performance.

The only thing that got botched is that thumbnail. Why do the Roman style columns look like an M.C. Escher painting?

Most people are under the impression that the cow is dead before it hits the ground, and way before it even goes in the grinder for processing.

Assuming you already have the IP phones, you need two things. A PBX server (for the VoIP stuff), and a SIP trunk with a block of external phone numbers.

Start with the PBX server software, there's several free/open-source implementations. Once you're comfortable with it and have internal calling good to go, then you can spend on the SIP trunk and number blocks.

shininghero ,

Step 3: unfuck the SIP settings, then email both HR and their supervisor to throw them under the bus. Also covers your ass for step 4.

Step 4: Route the manager's calls to a disconnected number. When they come knocking about their phone not working, tell them, "No, you should be able to dial out, unless someone changed the SIP trunk settings and didn't tell me."

shininghero ,

SIP providers usually sell numbers in contiguous series for businesses. For example, if your company buys a block of 50 numbers, the SIP provider then allocates XXX-5100 to XXX-5150.

But since you're keeping this strictly internal, you don't have to worry about that.

Aaand that search query got me some files with the top secret flag. Fortunately, they seem to be internal memos on things that are already known to the public, so nothing too immediately dangerous.

My big question is, why in the ever-loving fuck are these files outside of SIPRNET?

There's also a limited federation mode that server admins can use. Users and posts are still searchable, but they do not show on the public federated feed.
Useful for this exact case where a server may have beneficial accounts, but the rest should be hidden for moderation reasons.

Still would prefer it being on a proper mastodon server, but I can live with this. Whatever server ends up hosting a President's account now has to deal with record preservation laws for their posts. Let's leave that bureaucratic stuff to threads.

"I use Arch (support) BTW"

shininghero ,

Step right up and place your bets now, folks! What will be the tipping point for massive defederation? Will it be:

  • Snobby, vocal elitism from instance admins,
  • Retaliatory sanctions for anticompetitive actions, or
  • insufficient moderation of harmful or adult content?

I'm putting $20 on the third one, rampant porn bots will be the tipping point.

Wouldn't be surprised if they got some personally delivered letters from the legal department of a big media company, given that they blocked visibility to some magazines on other servers.

I got a callback from one of the many job application (finally), had to complete a task (I didn't even get started), and I think that the requirements were pretty unreasonable?

It was an internship for a full-stack developer role. I was given two days - today is the final day, and I did not even start with the project as I was too stressed to complete the task, worrying about designing and modelling the database part, and because I have a really vague idea about system design. The skill requirements...

shininghero ,

I barely touch any code beyond some excel automation macros, PowerBI queries, and mostly ProtoFlux for Resonite. But even I can tell, this isn't merely unreasonable...

This is flat out absurd.

I would have called them back ASAP and told them they accidentally sent me a long term internal project.

I give him 10 minutes before he opens his mouth and instantly falls afoul of Evil Overlord List entry 11.

I will be secure in my superiority. Therefore, I will feel no need to prove it...

748 million? I'll be surprised if they get more than 748 thousand.

“It would legalize the creation of human-animal chimeras,”

Awesome, I would love to have actual IRL furries. Some of the smartest and kindest people I know are in that fandom.

If you want to define frozen embryos as people, then I should be able to claim them as dependents on my tax returns after setting up the necessary cryonics.
After all, aren't they... dependent on me maintaining said cryonics to keep them alive in stasis?

shininghero ,

Fedora Linux also comes with SELinux enabled by default. Did you check that the new home folder and all its contents have the proper SELinux tags?
Run an ls -lZ and check that the directory has the user_home_t tag,
The user's home directory is also stored in the /etc/passwd file. Did you update the entry there?

No, do not "disable SELinux". That advice hasn't been valid for a good 20 years. You can set it to permissive though, to see if it's the source of the problem.

It took me a minute to realize he wasn't talking about a scene in the movie, like the hacking scene from Gumball.

[Urgent] How do you know your computer or phone isn't spying on you ?

This maybe a dumb question but i became paranoid all of a sudden and wanted some answers because i can't find it anywhere else nor can i sleep without it. Like even if i did flash linux on a lets say amd laptop couldn't the chip itself be spying on me ? Also i understand bootloaders are stored or rom is there a way to know what...

shininghero ,

Easy. It's far too expensive to implement, both in money and man-hours. Especially man-hours.

The amount of people required to personally surveil the general populace is way too exorbitant, AND they have to monitor their own people to prevent leaks. The logistics explodes well before this becomes feasible.

Then there's discoverability. Once such hardware is out there, it's only a matter of time before it falls into the hands of someone capable of dissecting it. Given that such spying methods would be 'sold' to federal management on the grounds of national security, there's an interest in not having it fall into such hands. Therefore, these methods are reserved for high-profile targets. Not the average Joe citizen.

To summarize: Too expensive (money), too expensive (logistics), and too expensive (R&D). Unless you're on Interpol's most wanted list or something, you don't need to worry about this.

Manhattan DA Alvin Bragg asks for gag order in Trump hush money case after dozens of threats ( abcnews.go.com )

Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg on Monday asked a judge to impose a limited gag order on former President Donald Trump, who is charged in New York with falsifying business records related to hush money he paid to adult film actress Stormy Daniels....

At this point they need to go over his head and tell the social media companies to just disable his accounts. He is never going to stay quiet.

If I can get easy replacement parts access and a Hayne's manual for one of these, I'm all for it. I have both of those for my current car, along with a full toolbox for basic mechanic work.

shininghero ,

The high voltage stuff can stay out of my reach until I'm ready, but I at least want to be able to do a TPMS relearn and brake pad/rotor maintenance without needing to plug anything into the OBDII port.

shininghero ,

These are the same people who drive with paper-thin, or even fully rusted off, brake rotors. And then they yell at the mechanics for "upselling them" on brake maintenance.

I firmly believe that brakes should be the absolute last thing to fail on a car. The tires can rupture, the steering shatter, and the car snapped in two, but I must be able to bring the remaining wreckage to a stop.

Spreading of the 100 biggest fediverse account ( wehavecookies.social )

I just saw, that fedidb now has data for the biggest fediverse accounts, so I did a little plotting with it. Here is a graphic of the scattering of the 100 biggest accounts by the instance they are on. 38 of them are on mastodon.social https://fedidb.org/popular-fediverse-accounts (the data is in the alt text) #mastodon #chart...
