Here’s a blog post from meta, they introduced immortal objects to python to help with their Instagram scaling.

Instagram runs on django.

Instagram’s back bone is written in python. I’d say that’s pretty scaled.

Yeah, Python is fast enough. Being assembly-fast is just not that important for a lot of things.

Yeah this is absolutely me but with notebooks.

“I do not consent” is indeed an opt out and you can use plex just as you were before.

NKRO is available for USB keyboards too.

• The default ssh port moved if ssh has to be exposed to the Internet. No, this doesn’t make it “more secure” but damn, it reduces the script denials in my system logs, fight me.

Gosh I get unreasonably frustrated when someone says yeah but that’s just security through obscurity. Like yeah, we all know what nmap is, a persistent threat will just look at all 65535 and figure out where ssh is listening… But if you change your threat model and talk about bots? Logs are much cleaner and moving ports gets rid of a lot of traffic. Obviously so does enabling keys only.

Also does anyone still port knock these days?

Jokes aside, Thinking Fast and Slow is amazing and I recommend everyone read it.

By default a normal user can abort the shutdown. They could also configure group policy to prevent shutdown permissions which also prevents aborting a shutdown.

The GPO is Computer Configuration > Windows Settings > Security Settings > Local Policies > User Rights Assignment > Shut down the system.

shutdown.exe -a should take care of situations like that. It’s not an excuse for taking away your options on the UI though.

There’s plenty of useful software in cars: collision avoidance systems, automatic braking systems, pedestrian detection systems, etc. Personally I love android auto / carplay for my audio books for my commute.

I expressed that Palestine should be free. I’m against the occupation. You’re more interested in politics than human lives. It’s a simple statement: you’re wrong if you kill innocent people.

No? I have already condemned the IDFs behavior. It’s obvious their track record is worse.

Terminally online people try to condemn killing innocent civilians including children (impossible)

It won’t happen by magic with blind violence.

Fuck the IDF. Fuck Hamas. Save the Palestinian people. It’s not that hard.

I condemn the IDF

I condemn Hamas
