Pretty far behind a lot of European countries on this

How do you get people to wash their vegetables when you're at their house and you don't wanna seem rude?

So awkward, but come on it says right there on the package to wash those mushrooms or whatever it is… You’re not their mom but you don’t wanna eat feces or whatever ended up on the produce. A quick rinse is never going to be perfect but it’s better than nothing....

FalseMyrmidon , (edited )

Just a note that raw mushrooms make people sick all the time and are a very common cause of food poisoning - especially wild mushrooms. You can get away with it with super common crimini mushrooms but some people are allergic even to that.

FalseMyrmidon ,

Conversely low res audio clearly sounds like trash.

FalseMyrmidon ,

Yeah, I'm thinking of circa 2000 MP3s. 128k was the good stuff and lower was still common.

FalseMyrmidon ,

Yeah, I had to do a security cert last year and it had a bunch of made up sounding crap like that.

Is someone safe if they report income from illegal means to the IRS?

I have seen multiple times on Lemmy that the IRS wants people to report income from illegal means and that they don’t care to bust someone for it. For example, an illicit drug dealer is expected by the IRS to report their drug sale revenue without having to worry about being caught for drug dealing....

FalseMyrmidon ,

You can only plead the 5th while you're in court. Prosectors are free to use all the shady crap you did that they have evidence of in building a case against you though.

FalseMyrmidon ,

got a strategy in place to start a new company up at the drop of a hat.

That's where Obsidian came from. They're former Black Isle

FalseMyrmidon ,

What makes you think it's not safe?

FalseMyrmidon ,

I think that sounds like a cool use case. If it runs locally what's not to like?

FalseMyrmidon ,

You're just irrationally disliking it based on the name "AI" and nothing factual.

FalseMyrmidon ,

AmazonLinux doesn't have epel on by default afaik? Seems unlikely this is Amazon the company and not their customers

FalseMyrmidon ,

Doesn't metal usually burn up on re-entry too?

FalseMyrmidon ,

I thought the ambience of the first one was amazing, but that the gameplay was boring as shit.

FalseMyrmidon ,

Yeah, it's clear that what's available on Epic is still "early access" even without that label.

FalseMyrmidon ,

Who's ignoring hallucinations? It gets brought up in basically every conversation about LLMs.

FalseMyrmidon ,

I thought Gearbox self-published Borderlands 3? It's gotta be civ7.

As an aside, man 2k doesn't have shit going for them. I thought they were a much larger publisher than that.

FalseMyrmidon ,

Yep, no one claimed otherwise.

Firefox 126: New Search Data Telemetry, Improved Copy Without Site Tracking, Security Fixes, and More (www.mozilla.org)

Telemetry was added to create an aggregate count of searches by category to broadly inform search feature development. These categories are based on 20 high-level content types, such as "sports,” “business,” and “travel”. This data will not be associated with specific users and will be collected using OHTTP to remove...

FalseMyrmidon ,

Telemetry is important for prioritizing feature development and support for the silent majority of users that don't disable it and then complain about ALSA support being dropped.

FalseMyrmidon ,

The update has more details

https://blog.mozilla.org/products/firefox/firefox-search-update

It's to help improve address search bar suggestions

FalseMyrmidon ,

Should just start referring to them as part time jobs. How much work can they be if he's supposedly doing multiple at once?

FalseMyrmidon ,

Because too much of SC2's design catered to the progamer crowd that liked that kind of stuff. They made some things easier from an APM standpoint but intentionally added more things to make the have not APM intense.

They really bet wrong on how popular that approach would be.

FalseMyrmidon ,

I do the same but I use years instead.

Did the premise of an entity approaching you only when it's not being viewed originate with Doctor Who's Weeping Angels?

The Weeping Angels apparently originated with Steven Moffat seeing a statue of a weeping angel in a structure in a cemetery and returning later to find out it was gone. At least according to this RadioTimes article. They first appeared in 2007 in the episode Blink....

FalseMyrmidon ,

It's kind of an inversion of "don't look back", which is thousands of years old.

FalseMyrmidon ,

"single party state"

FalseMyrmidon ,

"Be yourself" is terrible advice. What they really mean is "Be the best version of yourself that makes you a great friendly person that people want to hang out with". This might mean trying to change yourself to be whatever you think the coolest version of you is. This is fine because it's a form of self-improvement.

FalseMyrmidon ,

AWS also rarely turns off services that customers are using going so far as to support customers using outdated services for years. Of the major cloud providers only Google does this.

FalseMyrmidon ,

Always makes me think of The Station fire and hope it's fire retardant.

It was literally the first result on DuckDuckGo for me FWIW.

In larger networks VLANs let you do network segmentation across switches, which you can't really do otherwise.

I wouldn't bother at home.

FalseMyrmidon ,

Yes, you create virtual nics tied to the physical one.

FalseMyrmidon ,

Not everything needs a change management procedure, calm down there Satan.

FalseMyrmidon ,

You can keep your grubby ITIL process far away from me.

FalseMyrmidon ,

Yeah, the industry as a whole has been moving away from these types of processes for the last 15 years. There are exceptions where it can still make sense but they have significantly higher risk profiles than video games do.

FalseMyrmidon ,

I've written a post that I'd like to distribute as anonymously as possible while still reaching a large audience

Sounds like spam.

FalseMyrmidon ,

IMHO, worthless though it is, I don't get why Diablo-likes are called ARPG's. They have lots of A and no RP. (They are Gs tho.)

Because in 1996 experience points, leveling up, character attributes, and magical loot were all closely associated with RPGs. Over the intervening roughly 30 years those mechanics have been adopted by games all over the spectrum. However the genre-name for Diablo-like games stuck due to convention.

Also Diablo being called an ARPG predates Dark Souls by 10 to 15 years.

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....

FalseMyrmidon ,

100% agreed. It's well worth outsourcing to someone else for $10/mo versus the amount of work it takes to do it well unless you're a large business.

I'd make this argument for DNS too - a lot of work for how easy it is to pay someone else to handle it.

FalseMyrmidon ,

Many ISPs will also block inbound SMTP unless you have business account (and sometimes even then) because it's a common malware/spam vector.

If you insist on going through with this the key thing is to make sure that you're not an open relay.

FalseMyrmidon ,

Buy your own domain name and put it in front of someone else's service. This is going to be a ton of work to do correctly and you're unlikely to be able to host it out of your house.

Also, something you're running off a Raspberry Pi in your house is not going to meet most definitions of 'reliable'.

FalseMyrmidon ,

Personally I'd probably go with MS hosted exchange or a Google business account. If you don't trust those entities I've heard good things about ProtonMail - I imagine they have some kind of business solution.

FalseMyrmidon ,

Disarm? I don't remember having to do anything like that...

FalseMyrmidon ,

Arch-install had me create a user iirc. Most of the rest of that page was done by installing the KDE meta package for me.

A lot of the things on that page are FYIs, not things you need to do. I still don't know what you mean by detonate or disarm .

FalseMyrmidon ,

Machinima wasn't really a thing in the early 90s. Closest I can think of is Reboot but that started in 94 (what I'd call mid 90s...).

FalseMyrmidon ,

Things like screen reader access have huge potential uses by malware. Generally it should not be trivial for a program to get that level of access to everything you do.

FalseMyrmidon ,

https://www.androidpolice.com/android-13-blocks-accessibility-services-sideloaded-apps/

It just takes an additional warning acknowledgement.

Google isn’t fully stopping sideloaded apps from using accessibility services, though. Once you’ve run into the dialog saying that accessibility services are restricted for the app in question, you can activate access under the app info screen in the top right corner via the “allow restricted settings” menu entry, so if you’re a power user interested in augmenting your phone with a legitimate app, you can still do that. This seems like a loophole that nefarious apps could circumvent by instructing users to enable restricted settings. Thus, it’s possible that Google will still change this behavior before going live with stable Android 13.

When all of your factory tooling and off the shelf parts are in imperial, you use that. :shrug:

Higher frequency radiowaves actually penetrate objects worse. Today's carrier grade services are lower frequency generally.
