Monkey With A Shell

Should not, wonder if there’s any adguard/pihole lists to smack OneDrive/box/Dropbox/etc domains and just take these services out before they can start.

Plugging a modem into the POTS made them smart I say.

Makes sense, I’m so accustomed to making virtual machines and such that it becomes just a thing but inevitably at some point admin access was required to create the hypervisor, the vnic, a virtual switch, etc. Without that restriction a piece of malware could readily exfiltrate data past a local protection by just making it’s own new pathway through on the fly or any number of other unpleasant things.

I recall using an app way back when I used to root and haxor all the mobiles that would do this. Kind of a virtualbox for the Nexus phones/tablets, but it needed root to do it. Will have to look into this, would be interesting if it can do so in user space somehow.

Edit: Damn, still needs root. Was a longshot to be able to hook into system resources without it but was hoping for some bridge function.

And the world was shocked, SHOCKED I say…

That too, I haven’t delved into the whole AR space a lot but would plenty well like the option to connect something lightweight and have a virtual giant screen.

The other question I’d have for something like that is the contrast levels. If it ends up as a ‘ghost’ overlay it could make doing things with a lot of text/terminals a big strain to look at.

Make it cost less that $2K and enable the use of a standard OS and I’d give it a go. Would also be great if the glasses could somehow not be wired, but trying to power them for any length of time would be a pain.

Can you FF sync to a chromium browser?

Created my own docker pod and has worked for a long time. No updates in years, but how many features does it need really?

Lemmy git right on that boss…

Not so sure the difference ripping a disk would make unless you have a super insulated room, but CPU heat is very much a consideration. Each summer I keep contemplating moving my rack with ~100 cores to the basement only to be dissuaded by the dampness and cable runs.

Nuking anything is never the right decision unless you’re heating up some leftovers. There is no such thing as a justified mass destruction weapon.

So now you can have the devs that shun the cheat of having AI write their code instead copy-pasting from stack overflow’s AI written code.

It’s a tired tale, someone throws a few rusty old rockets towards Israel that land in a cow field, so it gives carte banche to level everything withing a couple hundred miles for ‘defensive purposes’.

The concern here shouldn’t be are the acts ‘official’ or ‘personal’ but are they criminal. Just because someone does a crime in their official capacity is not meant to relieve them if liability.

It’s the only version I’ve come across as a pre-installed option for bought systems, particularly from Dell. A big thing going for it is if you search ‘how to do X in Linux’ you can pretty safely bet some or even most top hits are Ubuntu related.

The rise of check cards and normalizing paying for everything on plastic was a big tipping point. There’s even a Monopoly game that uses electronic cards these days. It lets activity tracking run rampant and of course the banks get to skim a fee off everything.

Franky I see it as having nothing to do with fiscal responsibility (can’t overspend the cash on hand) and more just a way to funnel more to those with means than anything. It’s funny how cash advances on cards charge a higher rate than purchases despite neither offering a security interest to the card issuer.

Is there actually a way someone gets $12.5B that’s not fraud in some fashion?

I don’t so much look to defend the D party as it stands, but rather the functional operation of the nation. The D’s are a far broader scope than the R’s and frankly I’d have loved to see something like a Sanders/AOC ticket created for president, but that’s not happening soon.

The Republicans have long been the party of NO. For them, a government de-fanged and paralyzed is a perfectly good thing, it would let the rich and businesses pillage and plunder unchecked. Let them oppress whomever they wish and force arbitrary rules on vulnerable populations at local and state levels where party plays a much smaller role. Matters like Roe and Dobbs wouldn’t exist without pressures from national level lelft-ish parties.

The Democrats often as not get the short end of the stick on deals in an effort to get anything whatsoever done. The ACA was a fairly large accomplishment given the opposition in play seeking to protect the existing middlemen and preclude those damn poor people from taking care away from the rich. They often give up things in exchange for protecting some group, the ‘fine you can keep the 47 round clips on your guns, but you have to stop shooting migrants for fun’ sort of deals.

We would all likely be better off if the existing parties where shattered up and the entire system overhauled to provide a more proportional representation, however that’s not in the cards as things stand. The other potential problem there of course is that the R’s would likely end up with maybe 10% libertarian, 20% boring basic conservatives, and the remaining 70% insane swastika wearing nuts. The D’s on the other hand would end up with a dozen tiny slices of varied groups who all want some very specific thing with great fervor. Where that to happen then the larger few groups born out of the R’s would run rampant over society more than they already do.

Lol, do you think history is only the last 4 years? They’ve had more than 50 years and multiple instances of having the supermajority.

You also cited that they’ve purportedly had several instances where they could have passed it at will when there has been realistically 1 viable time just 4 years after the original SC ruling.

A brief history of one of the biggest obstructions and also notably important tools at the disposal of the Senate. Interestingly enough one of the few times that the rules on it where changed actually was at the behest of the Democrats to allow for placing judicial nominees without the Republicans getting in the way. Actively doing away with it or making significant modifications has been kicked around for a while but outright removing it would all but nullify any input by the minority party. By forcing a 60 vote barrier to things you set the table for either working with people of different stripes (not a bad idea, we did use to get a lot more done that way) or if you happen to be in a space to have those 60+ all yourself then you can consider that a free ticket and strong demonstration of the will of the voters.

Do you think their corporate sponsors accept these kinds of excuses?

I’m sure that they’re probably held to a higher standard of performance than their Republican counterparts who tend to come from poor states with low educational standards. The R’s can be bought off for a relative bargain price to be sure, so less pressure to get on the ball.
