Other people have made accurate posters here about MAS, but if you are concerned you can always set up a KMS server in docker.

Gimpydude ,

I never registered. I got my draft card while I was in boot camp in the '80s. Never filled it out.

Gimpydude ,

You know what’s funny? The official name for that tape is “Passenger Restraint Tape”.

Gimpydude ,

I was born in 1968. I definitely remember the duck and cover drills. Our school was a fallout shelter & they would rotate out the supplies every now and then. All the way up to high school. This is in the northeast.

Gimpydude ,

Why would you not be able to continue chat from the phone? I don’t all the time.

Gimpydude ,

Totally a typo lol

Gimpydude ,

That’s just so wrong-headed. How else do you expect billionaires to monetize every aspect of our lives?

Martha Stewart was convicted for lying and obstruction, not insider trading.

Gimpydude ,

Easy mistake. The M stands for Moron, not mother.

Gimpydude ,

The American justice system is about punishment, not rehabilitation. If it were, we wouldn’t have the death penalty.

Gimpydude ,

The idea that Linux is not susceptible to malware is a really dumb take, in my opinion. I work in security and see Linux machines get popped all the time. Also, wine is good enough that malware will run under it.

Gimpydude ,

Telegram is and always has been shitty. WhatsApp is shitty too. Use Signal instead.

Gimpydude ,

This is the correct answer. Both Alice and Bob approve.

Gimpydude ,

For this type of use (larger scale group chat) I would agree. What are the flaws with signal though?

Gimpydude ,

Do that while explaining how that contract clause works!

Need recommandations for a home server

Hey, I’m always searching a home server (already post here lemmy.ml/post/15083947), I was thinking about a Lenovo P500, but maybe the PSU is a bit too special… My budget around $140, will buy used parts and one of the most important thing is the power efficiency (don’t care about the peak wattage but want to stay around...

Gimpydude ,

Try getting a used server. You can find one on labgopher. For the budget you have, don’t expect something great but it’ll be a start.

Gimpydude ,

ClamAV is alive and well. Immunet != ClamAV even if that was the engine Immunet used.

South Dakota governor, a potential Trump running mate, writes in new book about killing her dog (apnews.com)

The Guardian obtained a copy of Noem’s soon-to-be released book, “No Going Back: The Truth on What’s Wrong with Politics and How We Move America Forward.” In it, she tells the story of the ill-fated Cricket, a 14-month-old wirehaired pointer she was training for pheasant hunting....

Gimpydude ,

In my mid 50’s. I use a steam deck and my PC running Linux.

Gimpydude ,

Similar for me. I went with PopOS this time, and it all just works. I’m thinking of switching to KDE Neon, just because I’m a KDE fan. One piece of advice I have is to have your home directory on it’s own so that if you do switch distros, you just install to the system drive and you don’t affect your data.

Gimpydude ,

I’ve dabbled a little with it, but I really want something that’s as easy to use & set up as the commercial offerings like Google Home and Amazon Echo. I want to have an interface where I can connect my light bulbs, and have little hockey pucks that will listen for a wake word and do what I ask of it, and play my music. I also want to be able to get under the covers and do something that solves an odd problem that might come up.

I’m very hopeful for the project and I do think it will get there eventually.

Gimpydude ,

Sure, but if I had a Pi (or similar board) with a speaker and a mic, I’d hope to be able to do the same thing. A Pi Zero would definitely be able to do the job.

Gimpydude ,

Yeah, that’s why I said I’m very hopeful. It says so in my comment.

Gimpydude ,

Privacy issues aside, for wider adoption the user experience needs to be better. Most people don’t want to be a sysadmin for their house, they just want to live in it.

Gimpydude ,

I’ll take a look at that, thanks. It’s been a year or so since I last looked at it but back then there was a push button that you could use but I couldn’t get it going.

Gimpydude ,

Thanks, I will definitely check out both of those

Because only women are worried about becoming step-parents? (This prolly could've been an Ask Lemmy.) (lemmy.world)

I’m looking for some good reading on how to, eventually, best help be a step parent to my partner’s children and NEARLY ALL books are geared toward the woman’s perspective as though men don’t want to be a strong teacher and develop these kids into healthy adults. Ugh!...

Gimpydude ,

As a stepfather to 3 over 2 marriages, just treat them like people with respect and support them as much as possible. It can be hard, but try to give guidance without trying to impose authority. Love them.

Gimpydude ,

You should take a look at getting sas enclosures. They’re pretty cheap, like $200 for a 16 bay. That will be so much more reliable.

Gimpydude ,

That makes sense. I’m a lazy guy and I didn’t want to try testing so I went with a known quantity.

A German state is ditching Windows and Microsoft Office for Linux and LibreOffice on the 30,000 PCs it uses for local government functions (www.theregister.com)

Schleswig-Holstein, Germany’s most northern state, is starting its switch from Microsoft Office to LibreOffice, and is planning to move from Windows to Linux on the 30,000 PCs it uses for local government functions....

Gimpydude ,

I used to work at Merrill Lynch, we had a Linux desktop pilot. We were an 80k company but had less than 1k users in the program, and most of us were capable of self-support.

It’s definitely doable at scale especially since most apps are web based these days, but there certainly is a retraining effort needed for support, and Windows would still be there. For most organizations, that’s not worth the effort.

France votes to ban ‘forever chemicals,’ exempting frying pans (www.politico.eu)

The French National Assembly on Thursday unanimously adopted a bill aimed at restricting the manufacture and sale of products containing per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances — also known as PFAS or “forever chemicals.” The MPs, backed by the government, voted to exclude kitchen utensils from the scope of the text....

Gimpydude ,

I’d add carbon steel pans as well. They’re the good tradeoff between stainless and cast iron.

Gimpydude ,

Yeah, I do that too. Cast iron is amazing for stuff like that.

US judge receptive to Trump documents claims in warning sign for prosecutors (www.reuters.com)

A federal judge overseeing the criminal case that accuses Donald Trump of mishandling classified documents has signaled an openness to the former U.S. president’s defense claims, in a sign that prosecutors might face a difficult road ahead....

Gimpydude ,

That’s both sad and true. If it weren’t, the system would be even more politically stilted than it is.

Gimpydude ,

God-tier shit post. I hope this becomes legendary copypasta.

Gimpydude ,

So is PornHub, xVideos and Playboy.

Gimpydude ,

But they don’t do that. Cops don’t defend people, they look for people to prosecute.

EA just added classics like Dungeon Keeper, SimCity 3000, and Populous on Steam (www.theverge.com)

There hasn’t been a lot of good news out of EA lately, but here’s some: the company just launched a bunch of classic games on Steam. The new (old) releases include nine games in total, spanning franchises like Dungeon Keeper, Populous, and SimCity....

Gimpydude ,

I’m OK with them wanting to keep making money from it as long as they update it for compatibility with newer operating systems. Selling something they have completely abandoned us not cool.

Gimpydude ,

A lot of TVs these days won’t start working without wifi. I set up a temporary ssid, set up the TV then delete it.

Gimpydude ,

Meta could easily have the WhatsApp client upload decryption keys to their servers without any notification to the user.

Gimpydude ,

What I’m talking about has nothing to do with the line protocol. Each client has encryption key pairs. The public key of the first party shares it with the other parties, and vice versa. If it’s encrypted with the public key then the private key can decrypt it.

If Meta gets the private keys, they can decrypt any message they want independent of whatever protocol is being used.

Gimpydude ,

Yes.

Gimpydude ,

I think that was a familial thing, not romantic.

Gimpydude ,

I stood and watched the first tower fall. One of my brothers was in 5 World Trade, another in 7 World Trade. They’re both still alive, but saw people jump. I get it’s been a long time, and people should be able to make memes like this. To this day, I still can’t watch any shows or TV shows even remotely related to the towers falling. This definitely still affects people.

Gimpydude ,

It is not. They 100% want to make it shittier.

Gimpydude ,

There is. Look at Streamfab (same company) as well as AnyStream. Both are great products.

Gimpydude , (edited )

Seriously? I’m subscribed to eweka and news hosting for nntp, as well as nzbgeek and nzbfinder for my indexers. Nzbgeek has a lifetime subscription option. You can get anything you’re looking for. It’s a simple subscription process.

What are you considering as ‘top tier’ that won’t take a subscription?

Some sites for reference:

Gimpydude ,

Then what are some of them? What are they providing that the others don’t?
