Funny how that goes.

Good news chat. dar has pipe-based remote interaction options.

qrexec RPC shenanigans are still an option.

Annoying to observe that Firefox-like browsers are such an absurd mess that the most reasonable way to isolate them without breaking them in various ways is literally to run them in a VM.

All the same, dishonorable mention to Bubblewrap for not being able to compile seccomp profiles on its own.

Xpra this time.

How obnoxious.

The notion Russia was using supercomputers for (some of) their bots feels weird.

Isn't that way overkill for nothing?

Major Nyaa release seeder arrested in Japan.

Took zero precautions against being identified. In one of the few countries that unambiguously criminalizes what he did.

wtf?

The amount of disgust I feel for people gleefully sharing electrical disinformation probably approaches something like hate.

If you have no idea how electrical grid lightning protection works, you are not qualified to make any statement on domestic surge protection that involves in any way lightning (especially dramatically implying it's useless) and I hate when people take those buffoons seriously.

Besides, there are all sorts of other failure scenarios that can induce surges of much lesser magnitude.

Localized conditions like the prevalence of copper theft also become quite relevant.

And then that particular one annoying me right now demonstrates no understanding of what ground return path through earth actually does and the fact that lightning differs from the norm in that aspect.

Or what GFCIs do. Will the digging oneself deeper continue?

The very documentation they linked to justify their bullshit says they're wrong about surge tolerance in power supplies too (though it also fails to account for several cases I know). :facepalm_cirno:

Do you have any idea of how an encrypted root (excluding some bootloader, whether in its own partition or using UEFI shenanigans) can be done with NetBSD, chat?

From further reading, I'm getting the impression bits would need to be added to the kernel and the bootloader to support this.

Chat, I hate chromesites.

A hundred legos underfoot to each of their writers.

It is nice to see more dolls & cute robot representation in game MCs.
