Nothing says “We’re confident in the software we’re selling” like willing to work for exposure in hopes that somebody shills $20 for a subscription.

If it’s built into the video I watch in mpv can’t I just skip?

CriticalMiss ,

I wish I could go back. Sadly too much of my life relies on this shit.

There’s a reason we use .env files and put them in gitignore.

Patrolling the Mojave almost makes you wish there would be some trees around.

No… no… proceed, im all ears

Netflix Windows app is set to remove its downloads feature, while introducing ads (www.techradar.com)

Netflix has managed to annoy a good number of its users with an announcement about an upcoming update to its Windows 11 (and Windows 10) app: support for adverts and live events will be added, but the ability to download content is being taken away....

Cheap android tv boxes

CriticalMiss ,

Unless you know exactly what you’re doing, you’ll have to spend a lot of money on trial and error because Google will keep nulling your widevine keys.

CriticalMiss ,

They buy cheap android tv boxes and get the widevine decryption keys off them, then use them to web dl directly from the source

CriticalMiss ,

The whataboutism doesn’t help. It’s a wrong practice regardless of nationality. But since the house and senate is bought by the corporations, at the very least ban those who you can.

For the license to be changed every team member needs to submit a written agreement that he agrees to the change, otherwise their contributions must be removed as they were written under a different license, the only exception is usually permissive licenses such as MIT/BSD 3 clause.

Usually, to rugpull FOSS contributors, companies who maintain FOSS software ask contributors to sign a CLA which waives their rights and lets the control their contributions. Immich isn’t doing any of that, and it will likely remain AGPL forever because changing the license will be a big hassle for them with the amount of contributors.

CriticalMiss ,

It’s a scare tactic. You as a customer won’t care if the business gets a new owner but if they threaten to shut down all the kids they have will start kicking and screaming to make the government dial back the decision.

GPG has a chicken and egg problem. I have mine publicized on Ubuntu’s key server, which is likely one of the bigger ones (but iirc it is of little relevance as it syncs with other keyservers). Out of the emails I am sent only one of my contacts bothers with encryption. Which is sad, but what can you do? The web mail interfaces rarely if ever support GPG, and even if they do sharing your key with them defeats the purpose.

The Sign (lemmy.stuart.fun)

For context, in case you don’t have kids (therefor you probably don’t watch Bluey), the family in the car (the Heelers) was selling their house to move for a job but ultimately, the dad (Bandit) decided staying at their house with family was more important. As a final act of demonstration, he lifts the for-sale sign out of...

Sure, they killed CentOS a few years and then shut off their git to public access. CentOS successors such as Alma or Rocky now rely on ripping cloud images to access sources (because they still ship GPL software, so they must).

Just a recent example.

Arm machines that are repairable to compete with Apple would be very cool in my opinion. Maybe team up with an integrator like sys76. Could be very cool. I’d personally line up to buy.

What to be aware of before opening port 25 on a postfix Raspberry Pi?

I have a raspberry pi running postfix. I Realised unless I open port 25 I absolutely cannot receive emails (I have 587 open and can send but not receive them). However I heard there are scaries online which someone could potentially send emails from your server without consent. I believe as well my ISP doesn’t block port 25....

Hi, I recommend you read the book “Run Your Own Mail Server”. The fact that a book exists for this topic is all the proof you need to not do this decision. But if you absolutely must, this is the way.

CriticalMiss ,

I don’t run Immich specifically but all other software I run is on :latest tags and unattended-upgrades on Debian. It works so, why bother?

CriticalMiss ,

Only I rely on my services and if they break I’ll fix them myself.

Data caps in 2024… first world country… allegedly.

When vaultwarden supports this I’ll play ball. If I don’t have control over my authentication methods, then they aren’t my authentication methods.

I have 150 passwords in my password manager. I’m not buying 7 YubiKeys (and to be fair that’s not what they’re designated for)

TIL the dev of Iron Lung, an acclaimed indie horror game, faced significant backlash over increasing the price from $6 to $8 (www.ign.com)

Then, responding to those who have said he’s “only doing this for the money", Szymanski tweeted: “Yes, no fucking shit. I make games for a living. If I didn't want to earn money from them I wouldn't charge money for them.”...

CriticalMiss ,

Lmao…

AAA dogshit shovelware game increases price from $60 to $70 and some people are unhappy.

Small time indie dev bumps game price from $6 to $8 to keep up with inflation and people lose their shit to the point it goes on gaming msm

No wonder we’re the most abused market.

Only a 3.50€ VPS on OVH. Gets the job done. For music I just use firehawk52’s Deezer ARLs to download the music. For TV shows/movies the obvious is piracy. The whole subscription model drives me away from services.

Trial starts for Arizona border rancher charged with killing migrant on his property (apnews.com)

An Arizona rancher went on trial Friday in the fatal shooting of a migrant on his property near Mexico, with his defense attorney maintaining his innocence as the national debate over border security heats up ahead of this year’s presidential election....

CriticalMiss ,

I’m not American so I’d appreciate if someone could explain what’s wrong (legally, not morally) in this situation? From what I understand you’re free to shoot trespassers on your property, isn’t that what the whole “muh freedom” culture about?

CriticalMiss ,

Thank you for the explanation.

I never deleted my root system with rm but I did dd go sda instead of sdb and ended up losing my data.

I take it as stage 2 of enshittification?

Unfortunately the “management” (aka spyware) software is not developed with Linux in mind. I tried pushing it in our environment, it was shut down very quickly once the spyware didn’t support it.

I use Docker exclusively. Podman is the NIH syndrome response to an industry standard. It has its benefits but Docker just works.

CriticalMiss ,

Docker Engine is open source. They could’ve easily contributed patches to it which just further proves that it is a NIH syndrome response.

Let’s not make the same mistakes with AI that we made with social media (www.technologyreview.com)

From the article: “In particular, five fundamental attributes of social media have harmed society. AI also has those attributes. Note that they are not intrinsically evil. They are all double-edged swords, with the potential to do either good or ill. The danger comes from who wields the sword, and in what direction it is...

Hello, I’m from the future. We didn’t handle it responsibly.

Yes… I remember finding my dad’s CD labeled “Need for Speed Most Wanted” when I was 5. Taught me a valuable lesson.

Plot twist: he’s a BSD user

CriticalMiss ,

They have mailing lists where they announce releases. Since it’s not that common for distros like Debian I don’t mind the manual labor once in a while. I only seed 3 ISOs anyway as I don’t think the rest contribute that much anyway. (Debian, Arch and Mint)

CriticalMiss ,

I think the logo is cool ;)

CriticalMiss ,

I read a while back they started charging a monthly subscription for ad-free experience. That’s likely the case.

CriticalMiss ,

Did you try zotify?

CriticalMiss ,

And I’m still waiting for them to open source Pocket. Silly me.

CriticalMiss ,

Considering Debian still ships 32bit, this likely won’t affect my distro of choice.

CriticalMiss ,

Although im part of the Linux crowd, if you’re tired of reapplying debloat scripts every update, you could get the W10 IoT LTSC edition that only has security patches with no updates. You will have to pirate it though.

CriticalMiss ,

We also know how to install Windows. Make him install openBSD

That game was dead on arrival for me, everything from gameplay to story was absolutely outdated and not interesting.

CriticalMiss ,

I’ve been hanging a version back for a while now. Although my instance isn’t public, it’s ridiculous how many CVEs I have dodged by not updating. SolarWinds all over again.

CriticalMiss ,

I remember researching the topic a while back. SimpleMDM seems to do it, but it requires paying Apple $300 a year. Luckily, Mosyle allows up to 30 devices for free.

That’s what I thought. I’m just waiting for an official Mozilla reply.
