The same thing happens to every gifted student program in America, not always so dramatically. One example is how many public schools now push uninterested students who lack the preparation to succeed into AP classrooms. Usually not for div

That wasn’t the comparison I was making, it was about whether a rank and file Republican non-politician would feel personally responsible for ICE’s actions if they are ever found to be criminal.

Being a CPC member is a bit more involved than being registered Democrat or Republican. And the article specifically points to them having a chapter at Bytedance. Again, this is normal in China, but it’s not really comparable to anything he

That’s silly, of course you can point to things American governments have done that the average voter wouldn’t feel personally responsible for. Many Democrats would accuse the current administration of trying to carry out a genocide against

The evidence that TikTok is a mouthpiece for China, according to NPR's account of the Commerce Department memo (I still need to read it myself): 1. Bytedance employs 130 Party members. 2. The party members had a rally with Communist sa

In my experience the video compression on PS Now is very noticeable, especially in dark scenes. Lag is usually fine at least for games that aren't particularly lag sensitive, but there are days when it's spiking so much it's

I recently set this up, but with Podman since I was experimenting with CentOS. It turned out to be quite simple to use network namespaces. I created a new namespace for wireguard and moved wg0 into the namespace, then had the container use

The price looks really good compared to Stadia, and being able to use a dirt cheap Fire Stick that many already have instead of a $100 hardware investment is a huge plus. To really drive adoption they could cut the price of the controller a

Sure, the executive has constitutional powers, but the powers used in this WeChat ban come from the National Emergency act and the International Economic Emergency Powers Act, not the constitution. So I think the misunderstanding comes from

Yeah, there are applications that are very common, but still exploits against them won’t be as universally applicable as Windows ones. You’re likely to find a Linux server with either Samba or nginx or some VNC software but all at once is l

This is not about state control of technology in that sense, that’s just a propaganda line intended for people who can’t understand the economic stakes. All the politicians who want massive expansion of US government surveillance also suppo

Generally no, for many reasons. I think the most important one here is that in a Windows server there’s a lot of software bundled together (AD services, the SMB server, IIS, RPC stuff like this netlogon interface, WMI, RDP, many others) tha

If they had a domain controller with ports opened to the internet they would have been hit some other way already (not to mention suffering from constant account lockouts from random brute forcing), so this would probably not be the initial

Sorry if I wasn’t clear - I was saying that people who are unsatisfied with systemd vs earlier or current alternatives are usually better off using a distro based on openrc or runit or s6, as you suggest. Not that there is any lack of good

Compared to systemd I feel like most of the issues with pulseaudio circa 2009 were distro or application specific, like the current situation with Wayland. You could run Ubuntu and have PA eat all your RAM and not even work, but switch to F

In my opinion the SSH example with a non default port, random username and easy password is a perfect example of a bad kind of security through obscurity: instead of a user friendly and foolproof approach (disabling password authentication

That’s great if you can do it, unfortunately companies with big slow IT departments that don’t like making changes they didn’t ask for tend to see “MFA on all remote services” as a multi year project and widespread use of hardware tokens as

It looks like it’s based on looking for the companies’ domains in password and data dumps, in which case 97% is utterly unsurprising and I bet the 3% are just too new to have had any users in a major breach.

If the repos were served with GnuTLS (not likely), it wouldn’t matter if the apt client used GnuTLS or not.

by resfirestar 6y ago
This post is misleading I think, the problem as described in [1] is with the TLS server in gnutls, regardless of the client software. How does that impact packages like apt and mutt, which aren’t serving anything? To be fair, the post does

While think of the children is a factor, I think without an ongoing moral panic or any evidence of rising crimes against children it doesn’t have the political base needed to spur action one way or another. The political push for backdoorin

Mitigating password reuse is far from the only purpose of MFA. If you are using any sort of SSO or account that signs in to multiple services (I think Xbox falls into this category as a Microsoft account), then it can also protect you from

Yeah, I think "VPNs won't protect you from the law" is far too broad a brush to paint with. There's no credible evidence that these services won't prevent a court or regular law enforcement from tracing an IP to a n
