So it will be an overly expensive, bloated, but ultimately ineffective jet that will become known for its much higher rate of friendly fire incidents than any other jet in history.

Also it will look ugly and have oddly small wings.

Yet again, FOSS showing why it's always the way to go vs proprietary tech. So glad I started my self-hosting journey with Jellyfin!

Sure, but for many of the participants, the actual ground troops, they were Christian fanatics that genuinely believed God was behind their cause.

Same story as today really, smart people at the top use religious fundies as useful idiots to help their cause.

I grew up in a Christian fundamentalist community. Most of the people in it genuinely believed all the propaganda and rhetoric. But the right-wing powers at the top usually don't actually give a shit, a bunch of them don't even believe in any of the fundie stuff like the imminent rapture, Revelation, Prophesy, etc. But they know they can use that fanaticism to their advantage to push their agenda forward.

Ah yes, the "everybody dies so who gives a shit" defense...

He says he doesn't trust it, but he's lying. If he actually cared about what's in the vaccines, he would get educated on the ingredients, the process of manufacture, the data and studies that have been done, etc.

But he won't do that, because he is a religious fundamentalist. He doesn't care about being logical, or reasonable, or understanding anything. He heard a certain viewpoint that he vibes with and stubbornly and fanatically holds to it.

Same as radical Islamists, or the Crusaders, or conspiracy theory nuts. They didn't reason themselves into their worldview. It wasn't carefully and methodically researched, it isn't something they are willing to change or adapt or be wrong on.

Good, fuck "AI" fuck copyright, fuck patents, fuck proprietary closed-source software, fuck capitalism, fuck billionaires, and fuck you, Sam, in particular.

I currently get paid in the bottom 15-20% for my role + experience in my region.

I received a "raise" (effective pay cut) a few weeks ago that was lower than the base inflation rate, dispite all the work I had done for the company and my great reputation with my prior manager and the employees there. (My company got bought out by a shitty competitor last year, the new management and policies suck)

So guess what? They are getting bottom 15% quality work, which is hardly anything. If they want to bring me up anywhere near the average wage in my area, I'll start performing like it, but until then, I'm having fun bringing my personal laptop into work, playing RuneScape, watching YouTube, working on a side business, getting coffee constantly, and just roaming around "checking in with users." Oh yeah, taking 1.5 hour lunches is fun too. 😈

Yup sorry, typo, I corrected it in my original comment. Weird it isn't working for you, I think I have the F-droid version.

 
 
 

I've been 100% on Linux for several years now and I don't miss Windows at all in any aspect.

But in my opinion, there is one thing that Windows does significantly better than Linux, kiosk mode.

I wish Linux had something similar. All the solutions I've been able to find are far more complex and technical to implement and use.

If anybody has suggestions for something that's easy to use on Linux that works similar to Windows kiosk mode, I'd love to try it.

 

Any Linux Sysadmins here use Timeshift on Linux servers in production environments?

Having reliable snapshots to roll back bad updates is really awesome, but I want to know if Timeshift is stable enough to use outside of a basic home lab environment.

Disclaimer: Yes I know Timeshift isn't a backup solution, I understand its purpose and scope.

 

A while back there was some debate about the Linux kernel dropping support for some very old GPUs. (I can't remember the exact models, but they were roughly from the late 90's)

It spurred a lot of discussion on how many years of hardware support is reasonable to expect.

I would like to hear y'alls views on this. What do you think is reasonable?

The fact that some people were mad that their 25 year old GPU wouldn't be officially supported by the latest Linux kernel seemed pretty silly to me. At that point, the machine is a vintage piece of tech history. Valuable in its own right, and very cool to keep alive, but I don't think it's unreasonable for the devs to drop it after two and a half decades.

I think for me, a 10 year minimum seems reasonable.

And obviously, much of this work is for little to no pay, so love and gratitude to all the devs that help keep this incredible community and ecosystem alive!

And don't forget to Pay for your free software!!!

 

I'm running a few Debian stable systems that are up to date on patches.

But I just ran ssh -V and the OpenSSH version listed is "OpenSSH_9.2p1 Debian-2+deb12u3" which as I understand is still vulnerable.

Am I missing something or am I good?

 

Heliboard 1.2 has just released. This version fixes a bug with certain Android devices not providing haptic feedback or audio feedback.

Thanks devs!

Heliboard V1.2

[Edited] Ironically my keyboard auto corrected its own name to "helipad." Embarrassing 😵‍💫

 

I have a very short equipment rack installed in my server closet. It is only 16 inches deep, fine for most networking uses, but not great for most rack-mount server cases.

I am looking for case suggestions that would fit my rack, 16 inch depth maximum. Height isn't a problem, the rack has a ton of vertical space, over 15U, it's the depth that's an issue.

Thanks!

 

I'm confused about protecting backups from ransomware. Online, people say that backups are the most critical aspect to recovering from a ransomware attack.

But how do you protect the backups themselves from becoming encrypted too? Is it simply a matter of having totally unique and secure credentials for the backup medium?

Like, if I had a Synology NAS as a backup for my production environment's shared storage, VM backups, etc, hooked up to the network via gigabit, what stops ransomware malware from encrypting that Synology too?

Thanks in advance for the feedback!

 

Just making sure I'm not missing something obvious:

Self-hosted Linux VM with protonVPN and QBitorrent installed on it.

QBittorrent networking bound only to ProtonVPN's virtual interface with killswitch and secure core enabled.

Auto updates enabled and a scripted alert system if ProtonVPN dies. Obviously everything with very secure unique passwords.

Is this a safe setup to run 24/7 to torrent and seed with?

Are there any significant risks I'm missing? Thanks, fellow sea salts!
