Also, not sure if it’s this database or another leaked database, but I get a lot of targeted phishing messages that know exactly what forms I’ve filed for my wife’s family for their immigration over the years. And I’ve heard similar anecdotes from others. Only started this year, so definitely something this administration has either broken the security of to speed up deportations or possibly purposely allowed to leak to foreign agents and thus their hacking groups.
Note that often it’s more efficient to move infrequently accessed memory for background tasks to swap rather than having to move that out to swap when something requires the memory causing a delay in loading the application trying to get the RAM, especially on a system with lower total RAM. This is the typical behavior.
However, if you need background tasks to have more priority than foreground tasks, or it truly is a specific application that shouldn’t be using swap and should be quickly accessible at all times, or if you need the disk space, then you might benefit from reducing the swap usage. Otherwise, let it swap out and keep memory available.
I do this as much as possible, though I have a self hosted VaultWarden instance. I really wish more stuff supported TOTP or Yubikey. There’s still a ton that only support text or email which just puts a big old hole in the security, IMHO.
Don’t format, just create separate subvolumes for the distros and keep the home subvolume mounted on each root then delete the root subvolume of the distros you don’t want when you’re done with them.
I didn’t have to change anything including secure boot when I removed windows and installed Fedora on my laptop. Should generally work, but there’s a possibility some newer features may not or may have a Windows-only setting and an other OS setting. Update the BIOS to the latest and just try it…
I mean LLC is just a nice option if you want it to be easy to transfer it to someone else next time so they don’t have to go through any hassle. Adding someone to an LLC to have control over the assets is just easier than if an individual owns those assets.
But this all comes down to ownership. Someone owns the rights to the domain. Sonatype obeys that ownership. So it really comes down to how the owner wants to handle it. And in the US anyway, lawyers aren’t really required for an LLC, depending on the state you live in. Many it’s just a couple of simple documents and a small fee. That’s why LLCs are used by rich people to hide their money, it’s cheap and easy. I’ve done it many times in multiple states for various projects and never had any legal background. The nonprofit part is a little more work, but as long as you aren’t bringing in any money, its not necessary. Still easy in practice, but more research to figure out. Also, it comes with a lot of benefits like free access to a lot of stuff, including some from Sonatype. But again, not required, just thinking ahead and how I would do it.
First step would be just to contact the domain owner. If they are no longer interested in owning that asset, then they may just give it to you. If they are unresponsive and the domain is not in use for anything else, you could also contact the registrar and report it and if they can’t contact the domain owner there’s a possibility that they may allow you to purchase it depending on their policies.
Again, don’t get discouraged, and I’m totally willing to give pointers if you decide to go the nonprofit LLC route, but first, just contact the owner and maybe they’ll just give you the login for the domain registrar or if they don’t want to give up the ownership of the domain, maybe just authorize you with Sonatype to publish the artifacts. Essentially, because it’s an ownership issue, the owner needs to be involved.
I would required compensation in the amount of Elon’s entire fortune so it can be properly redistributed to those who deserve it, including you if this is a human reading this email. If those terms are acceptable, please contact me at xxx-xxx-xxxx at your earliest convenience.
Only the owner of a domain can publish a package attributed to that domain. Otherwise you’d have random hackers publishing malware as an Apache project or something. All you can do is try to contact the owner of the domain and see if they are willing to transfer ownership to you, or better yet, set up a nonprofit LLC, or whatever it’s called in your country, to have it transfered to.
There was no “be fired” option. They couldn’t fire her for her gender, but they had to get rid of her or face possible retaliation from the representative or a school shooting or other attack from extremists.
The other option was to risk being attacked at work along with all the children, many if whom would likely be killed or injured along with her. That’s not an “option”. That’s like saying you have the option to either work so you can eat, or never work again, or eat, for the rest of your life. Sure it’s an option. But not a viable one. She only got to choose how she would be forced out. Leave gracefully, or leave with the blood of children on her conscience. Not that it would be her fault, but if she survived, they surely would make it out to be her fault for not leaving. The threats to her life aren’t going to stop. It’s just now the children aren’t going to be used as bloody pawns.
But common language generally has effect followed by cause if there is a joining preposition between them. Just because a journalist isn’t confused by it doesn’t mean an average person wouldn’t be. Words are cheap these days, it’s not like the days of print where every word cost money. Journalism doesn’t have to be terse at the expense of accuracy anymore. Plus it’s really easy to clarify by saying “forced to resign”, so just 2 words.
As for whether it’s common to force people to resign when you can’t fire them or not is irrelevant. This is firing or forcing to resign over who they are. If it was a cis-woman being fired/forced to resign for being a woman instead of a man, or a black person being forced to resign explicitly for not being white, would it have been allowed to happen? The method is irrelevant. It’s not as if it was for performance related issues or even a political disagreement. This is for who she is at a basic level.
The title is a little misleading. She didn’t resign because of the death threats against her. She resigned because the school’s state representative forced them to fire her, but they had no cause, so they had to pressure her to resign to protect the students from defunding or physical attacks on the school.
This. Get in writing the specific legally binding policies for personal use of their network resources. Not just the personal opinion of the IT people. They don’t write the legally binding policy that you are responsible for following.
I get the idea of wanting that lifeline in case of an emergency, but I agree, constant tracking is toxic. I’d never give a corporation my kids’ information just for some small convenience like that. Basically selling their future for almost nothing. By the time they grow up, potential employers and governments will know every place they ever visited as a kid, even places that might have been technically trespassing or politically divisive in the future. Kids need to learn and explore and be guided on what’s right and wrong, not be punished for minor stuff they did as children their entire lives.
Someone in charge is getting a kickback or is heavily invested in the company that supplies the facial recognition service.
I mean, in most cases this isn’t criminal law (in the US at least), so it means you have to attract enough attention of a corporation since they’re usually the only ones who can afford the legal costs to file the DMCA requests and responses for copyright violation. And with many other civil issues, often corporations with the money for it, don’t have standing to sue, and if they did, would be required to sue each individual in the appropriate jurisdiction.
With the removal of Section 230, these costs will go down significantly as a single user’s violation could be enough to bankrupt or shut down an entire site of violating content or, if serious criminal violations like child porn, put the person who hosts the site in prison who, will be much easier to identify and sue in a single jurisdiction or arrest than a random internet user.
Yeah, other countries have similar or even more strict requirements, so yeah it all depends on the jurisdiction. You have to also understand that just hosting something externally, doesn’t mean you don’t fall under laws of another country. It’s the internet. And if you live in a country, you may be held responsible for obeying their laws. I’m not a lawyer, so it’s something to be careful of even if externally hosted.
This is especially necessary to consider if you live in the US right now. One of the things the current administration is pushing for even harder than past administrations is removal of Section 230 of the communications act that was enacted in the 90s. This provides a defense against liability for the content you host as long as you make a reasonable effort to remove content that is illegal. Problem is that this makes it really difficult to censor (maliciously or otherwise) content because it’s hard to go after the poster of the content and easier to go after the host or for the host to be under threat to stop it from being posted in the first place. But it’s a totally unreasonable thing, so it basically would mean every website would have to screen every piece of content manually with a legal team and thus would mean user generates content would go away because it would be extremely expensive to implement (to the chagrin of the broadcast content industries).
The DMCA created way for censors to file a complaint and have content taken down immediately before review, but that means the censors have to do a lot of work to implement it, so they’ve continued to push for total elimination of Section 230. Since it’s a problematic thing for fascism, the current administration has also been working hard to build a case so the current biased supreme court can remove it since legislation is unlikely to get through since those people have to get reelected whereas supreme court justices don’t care about their reputation.
So, check your local laws and if in the US, keep an eye on Section 230 news as well as making sure you have a proper way to handle DMCA takedown notices.
Are there any guides to using it with reverse proxies like traefik? I’ve been wanting to try it out but haven’t had time to do the research yet.
At work we have 6 environments other than production. At home just one. I created a way to ease deployment of the environment from scratch using a k0sctl config and argocd and the data gets backed up regularly if I need to restore that, too.
