I mean, the stuff in the Great 78 Project is stuff that is so old that copyright was not designed to support the lengths of time they currently do so archiving wasn’t as big of a concern because the media it was created on would be less likely to deteriorate in that time. When the owner is a corporation who for the most part not only doesn’t sell but refuses to archive works that are breaking down due to the physical age of the media and would rather the works disappear than allow for archiving, how are they harmed to the tune of $150,000 per recording? And who is this benefiting to let recordings, stories, and other art forms literally turn to dust with no monetary profit going to anyone in most cases if it’s not archived.

How do you connect? Is there a domain? Is that domain used for email or any other way that it might circulate?

Also, depends on if the IP address was used for something in the past that was useful to target or not. And finally do you use that IP address outbound a lot, like do you connect to a lot of other services, websites, etc. And finally, does your ISP have geolocation blocks or other filters in place?

It’s rare for a process to just scan through all possible IP addresses to find a vulnerable service, there are billions and that would take a very long time. Usually, they use lists of known targets or scan through the addresses owned by certain ISPs. So if you don’t have a domain, or that domain is not used for anything else, and you IP address has never gotten on a list in the past, then it’s less likely you’ll get targeted. But that’s no reason to lower your guard. Security through obscurity is only a contributory strategy. Once that obscurity is broken, you’re a prime target if anything is vulnerable. New targets get the most attention as they often fix their vulnerabilities once discovered so it has to be used fast, but tend to be the easiest to get lots of goodies out of. Like the person who lives on a side street during trick-or-treat that gives out handfuls of candy to get rid of it fast enough. Once the kids find out, they swarm. Lol

Google is a Reddit partner now, so they probably don’t want discussion of anything that removes them from the loop, thus privacy is very limited to “privacy from everyone but Google” or whatever corporate blob is currently funding Reddit. This is why Reddit is dead to me, basically it is now all about profit and communities can only exist if they contribute to that goal.

Not free, hard to get food and necessities, but yeah, some days I wish it was that easy, though I’d be hella bored.

Anyone know the source of this version? I’ve seen several similar versions over the years. And what is the hat representing, since that’s new to me.

It’s rarely a good idea to log in as root, doubly so if it’s a system with sensitive data or services that could easily be disrupted accidentally. And even more important if multiple users log in. How will you know who broke things to teach them if they don’t log in first. The only time I log in to any system as root other than a test system is when I need to sftp to access files or some other system that doesn’t have a way to elevate permissions.

Even if Copilot was suspended, the idea was put into the heads of managers and executives. My work laptop current has three applications constantly locking files as they track everything I do and every file that gets touched and upload it all to the servers. Git now takes a ridiculous amount of time to check in and push files since it creates tons of small changes to the cached files that a the tracking applications block further changes or uploads until they can record the information. It takes about 30 seconds to a minute to check in a single small file. Something that used to take a second or two at most. Worst part is if I’m in a WebEx meeting, the fighting over caches in it and git and any other processes,often causes deadlocks that crash the machine. I’m constantly apologizing for being late for meetings because the laptop crashed and had to reboot. It’s gotten to the point that they finally gave me a much faster laptop rather than just excluding cache and git folders and such from the tracking because the people who want literally everything tracked don’t know what cache or git is, much less how much useless data they’re gathering or how the AI that analyzes it all is going yo get distracted by the garbage and not find any useful data anyway. Microsoft needs to get in the game to push the others back out.

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.

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.
