The switch 2 gives out complete apple vibes. It’s repairability is pretty horrid after watching the teardown guide.

Controllers will fail sooner or later and will have to be replaced. Here it will end up replacing the whole stick just due to glueing small parts of the controller.

Battery will also fail sooner than later. The whole thing yells planned absolesence…

I don’t think you should be downvoted tho. Reasonable and correct opinion from a (guessing) security professional.

The 20 year smart devices argument should be the norm, imho. We have way too much e-waste as it is. Although that would also mean that smart devices should include that in sales calculations.

The firmware flashing before EoL brings a tear to my eye from the elegance of a solution. Also manufacturers would have to stop with other anti-consumer practices like serialization and scrubbing identity markings, otherwise reversing could be too costly.

The point I was trying to make, is that if the device is sold and the consumer is the one with physical access, the device should be treated as compromised. You are correct about minimizing attack surface and blast radius.

The thermostats EOLd before the 20 or so years is more directed in breaking the trust/expectation of the consumer/client. No one reads the EULA. It’s a deep can of worms.

You are correct that the device still works, excluding the cloud services, not denying it.

Why would you care about an insecure device connecting to your servers if the server is connected to the internet?

Any packet can be from an attacker and your server has to deal with that regardless if the computer you’ve sold is the one attacking.

Sounds like security through obscurity. Or some shit manufacturer says to force users to upgrade.

You might argue it’s there to protect the user from state actors attacking during winter. Which would be fair. But they did not disclose the actual reason why they EoL’d the device as insecure, seems shady.

Still the correct response should be retuning probably half of the money for the device to any user that proves ownership, instead of this entrapment. No one buying a thermostat expects it to work for only 5-11 years.

Ukraine had a national identity before Lenin, tho. Although the dude is/was ahead of it’s time. And the social idealism that follows looks pretty neat. Sadly he quickly died and another fella came to power. Usually when people bash USSR they bash Stalin’s regime. It’s far from socialist ideals. You shouldn’t mix it up and just nitpick what you like.

If people are subjugated and still remain under democratic rule, they can still be under repression, due to voting majority. It’s the same reason why Israel fears giving the vote access to palestinians.

You can try to follow Nazi fascism idea of fascism by following history notebooks. But it will get us nowhere. Without common definition that we have. Since for example Lithuania had a president which was with dictatorial levels of power during the time. He was not aligned with Nazi Germany. What kind of word would you use to describe the rule? There are reasons why fascism is defined like it is.

And dude, you can’t be racist against a country. You and I operate with completely different definitions. I doubt we’ll come to a conclusion. Would love to discuss it next to a beer, since it’s fascinating to find these so wildly difderent ideas. How do you even get to a point where you know so much but manage to draw completely different conclusions.

Ukrainians aren’t russian. Their language is different. Their culture is drastically different. Damn even regions inside Ukraine could count as different cultures.

For the split. It happened quite recently. I do recommend talking to people why they split and what was the common ideas on the streets back then from people who lived there. There were massive forced mixing in of Russians in those countries. Those people are usually the ones that still find as “it was better back then”.

TZD

Just beause Russian Empire rebranded itself it ia still basically the same size with the same subjugated people. The same yakut people are still subjugated. The cataclysmic event you’re talking about is workers revolt. The other is the collapse where quite a bit of countries at least managed to escape. All we can hope is for the fall of russia and for other cultures to emerge.

Here is the common definition: Fascism - A system of government marked by centralization of authority under a dictator, a capitalist economy subject to stringent governmental controls, violent suppression of the opposition, and typically a policy of belligerent nationalism and racism.

Even if you have 2 fascist countries, their goals and decisions are and usually is different.

And for consent. Look at bloody linux distros. Even if people actually want consent, it is basically impossible to achieve. Every expert will interpret it differently and you will have multiple narratives.

You keep clinging on little details. Russia is an empire due to how many smaller nations were conquered to the east. Just like USA is an Empire etc. Current rebranding doesn’t change the fact.

Fuck ton of countries were fascist just before and during WWII. It’s not a serious argument to make here. Fascism is just getting to power without democratic means.

And for the Finns. I honestly feel sad for you, if you believe there is a conspiracy theory that managed to brainwash an entire nation.

Most history textbooks barely mention Finland at all. They will often not even tell you they were Axis-aligned. You have to read historians writing specifically about this topic. No lazy bones.

Most of history textbooks barely mention WWII by the same notion. I won’t argue I might know too little about the history of Finland. Although seeing how overwhelmingly current day Finns seem to oppose Russia and often mention the Winter War. It does seem that USSR was the worse of two evils there.

Like I said, this does not excuse allying with Nazis.

That’s the point. They had a choise. Either side with the Allies and hence USSR (which fucked them up) or ally with Germany. It was an obvious only choise for them.

This was not tribal

The point is that tribal “us vs them” is just common. Same goes with countries. It depends if the group has a common identity.

Why do you even want to defend an empire?

What on earth are you talking about?

False understanding of your stance on my part. Sorry for that. I thought you’re defending the current day Russian state.

Aren’t the removed commiters with direct access to the kernel? It’s not like it’s some rando that makes pull requests.

I guess it’s difficult to otherwise explain the position you have? It’s not like people face criminal charges in Russia just for speaking against it. It’s easy to see how the state would want to introduce backdoors to most western systems.

It’s extremely sad that a lot of good Russians get swooped in this. But even abroad their lives are in danger to fight the state.

Why? There aren’t any sanctions for them in Finland?

I’m pretty sure not just the US wants Russia sanctioned to the oblivion. All of the Europe that borders Russia wants that. Now why would it be like that?

For USSR being the victor in WW2. Why these Finnish “russian death camps” not in most of history textbooks?

Also it’s not unreasonable to hate the aggressor. So even if they were building death camps to get revenge on Russkies. It’s not like tribal collective punishment isn’t engrained in our blood.

Why do you even want to defend an empire?

Removed by mod

This country attacked me. Should I allow their enemies to reach them through my territory? Sure.

“USSR correctly predicted this!”

The timeline is fuwky wucky in your argument mate

Even if you can objectively see the name as just a name, many people sadly can’t. It is really difficult to recommend others to join, just because they come with the idea that it’s a minecraft clone and since it’s not a clone it feels janky.

I’m glad they dropped the name for something new.

I don’t get the FUD post. The thing is open-source. If security audit is required, why not just do it?

The OP is a new user with no other posts, except this in many places

As per systemctl(1) manual:

If --force is specified twice, the operation is immediately executed without terminating any processes or unmounting any file systems. This may result in data loss. Note that when --force is specified twice the halt operation is executed by systemctl itself, and the system manager is not contacted. This means the command should succeed even when the system manager has crashed.

Great build for a gaming PC. For a server it looks odd. Usually when building a server, your main concern is reliability. Everything goes in pairs. Two CPUs, Two PSUs… It gets tedious fast. Often weaker but much more energy efficient parts are prefered, since unused CPU and RAM is considered wasted.

It would be much more helpful if you have a usecase you’re building it for (since now I really can’t comment too much on the build). If your primary concern is to try to have a home server, I’d say go for it. You can always upgrade/downgrade down the line.

Does nix require the exact commit be written out for the package, or does it generate a hash during the build taking the newest git commit?
