I wouldn’t say good

It doesn’t believe anything. It’s a language model.

Haha, sure thing William

Not feasibly, no. If a centralized platform like bluesky refuses to abide by the laws in a given country, their platform can be made inaccessible in that country. Trying to do that to countless activitypub-compliant servers wouldn’t be practical since you van just hop to another server.

God that’s ridiculous… the image hash depends on the image not having changed at all from the one uploaded by the user. If they’re screenshotted and cropped, or sent via a messaging platform that compresses them, they’ll be visually similar enough to not matter, and different enough to have a different hash. So, Zuck gets a free peek at your your nudes, and all you get is a false sense of security.

First heard about this a few hears ago- apparently it’s got Wayland support now, including for tiling WMs like sway? Thats super impressive, I’m gonna see if I can get it set up and running real quick because I just gave up on remote access on Sway when I last tried to check out the options.

Solid-State Disk Drive, it’s a regular hard drive with the platters hot-glued to stay still

Samsung and others OEMs have little incentive to collaborate with privacy-oriented roms because a large part of their business models depend on the surveillance baked into their technology. They’re only interested in security as far as it frees them from liability, or can be used as worthwhile PR. They might not be based out of the US or China, but they do still operate in said countries and are all too happy to comply with data or unlock requests.

Yeah, bought the st300 after having repeated issues with ventoy not properly mounting disk images causing multiple Linux distro installs to fail. My st300 might be one of my best investments as a technician just for how seamless and simple it is to use.

All the 8 year old hackers running linux were toppling their child labor industry

I find dockerization tends to make things waaaay easier to bring up/take down with simple yet consistent configuration schemes. I distribute all my self hosted stuff across a small cluster of machines- if I want to move a service from one to another it’s as easy as moving the config folder and the docker-compose. Don’t need to have startup scripts, or remembering installation steps after a fresh install, or worry about python/package versions. Plus it helps keep track of what services are set up, soni don’t have to worry about leaving anything unused but still installed and running. And updating is as easy as pulling the images and recreating the containers.

You can’t get a virus if your computer’s already dependent on one!
