I can see it going both ways. Talking about execution times, this would be an exaggeration, but then, these memes always are.

This is something that has been occasionally happening in Europe (at least in Germany, don’t know about France) for well over 10 years now. Probably more like 15.

What’s sorely needed at this point is much more storage to make this energy available when it is needed instead of when it isn’t. Before that happens, you cannot really decommission any gas or coal power plants, because you still need them during times of much less renewable production.

In a language that has exceptions, there is no good reason to return bool here…

Also, almost all of that is written in C, which is a successor to B, which is a simplified version of the Basic Combined Programming Language. There was never an A.

Well passwordless.

Same thing in this context. But sure, an encrypted partition would work.

Dunno about ideal, but it should work.

It does have quite a bit of overhead, meaning it’s not the fastest out there, but as long as it’s fast enough to serve the media you need, that shouldn’t matter.

Also, you need to either mount it manually on the command line whenever you need it or be comfortable with leaving your SSH private key in your media server unencrypted. Since you are already concerned with needing to encrypt file share access even in the local network, the latter might not be a good option to you.

The good part about it is, as long as you can ssh from your media server to your NAS, this should just work with no additional setup needed.

Interesting. Though it does seem to to require your private key to be unencrypted…

Is sshfs an option? Unfortunately, I don’t think you can put that into /etc/fstab, though…

Wait, they managed to forge Let’s Encrypt certificates? While it explains the attack on TLS (though technically not https as originally claimed, not that it makes much of a difference), that’s even worse…

Really? That’s a rather big claim, and would change a lot for me if true. Do you have anything by the way of a source?

Also, how do you MITM https traffic without one of the parties just handing you their keys?

Those aren’t files, though, they are just some sectors on your block device. Sure, if you mess with those, your ability to decrypt your disk goes out the window, but then, when was bypassing the filesystem and messing with bits on your disk directly ever safe?

It’s possible he was using an encrypted key file instead of just a password for that extra strong security. In that case, of course, if you lose that file, kiss your data good bye.

That ‘amp;’ does not belong in there, it’s probably either a copy-paste error or a Lemmy-error.

What this does (or would do it it were done correctly) is define a function called “:” (the colon symbol) which recursively calls itself twice, piping the output of one instance to the input of the other, then forks the resulting mess to the background. After defining that fork bomb of a function, it is immediately called once.

It’s a very old trick that existed even on some of the ancient Unix systems that predated Linux. I think there’s some way of defending against using cgroups, but I don’t know how from the top of my head.

Too bad this windows firewall dialog is really sparse on details. We really have no way have telling whether that is normal permissions or not.

I’ve read that article. It is complete garbage and doesn’t explain anything at all. It’s just standard cookie cutter fear mongering to sell some random antivirus software.

In theory, that shouldn’t even be possible with JavaScript. There’s such a thing as same-origin policy for that exact reason…

That’s all? Hard to believe, he says piracy out loud several times and even has the word in the video title…

Anyone know what he’s alluding to with his repeated “catching fish in my backyard with a net nudgenudgewinkwink” remarks?

It’s odysee, a frontend to lbry, a sort-of decentralized alternative to Youtube. Which seems very enticing, because an alternative to Youtube is badly needed.

Unfortunately, at the moment it is completely overrun by religious nutjobs, Nazis and other assorted scum. It is not by its nature an alt-right service, but it does attract all those who would be banned anywhere else.

I’ve looked at Peertube, Dtube and Odyssee, but frankly, I don’t like them because there is some questionable content on those sites.

While I can understand that to a degree, keep in mind:

Any true alternative to the big sites, especially if they censor less, will always first attract the fringe and those who would get themselves banned on the big platforms. Even if it was for good reasons. These days, that seems to mean religious nutjobs and right-wing conspiracy theorists.
