For the consumer tech yeah that makes sense, but I actually meant for infrastructure and workstations where you would otherwise be using linux.

FreeBSD is actually pretty mainstream because everyone who doesn’t want to follow GPL or any copy left licenses tends to use it.

Which usually ends up being large companies like Netflix, Sony, or Nintendo.

Yeah I can’t wait for when enthusiasts want my stacks of 2004 laptop RAM sticks and LCD panels.

The demand will open up any second now

I can link to a Research paper with that in the title therefore I am right

I know there was a lot of AI slop memes about Netanyahu being dead but I think Iran successfully killed one of their leaders or at the very least injured someone important which is why he went into hiding for a week.

Israel has been underplaying the damage from Iranian missiles, and now that their air defense is degraded, Iran can carry out strikes with much less ammo.

(I don’t need strong censorship resistance; it just has to work in offices and hotel WiFis.

Wireguard on 443 or OpenVPN + Stunnel on 443

Wireguard is easier to setup because there’s no OpenVPN app that packages stunnel (afaik), so you have to run 2 apps on your phone to make it work.

A server like caddy can also accept HTTPS traffic for some regular websites next to the VPN server.

Wireguard uses UDP, so just run whatever you want on 443 TCP with caddy (unless you want QUIC for some reason?)

Anything beyond that and you’d be looking at using a proper obfuscation solution like Shadowsocks or obfs4, in which case you should look into Amnezia or Tor bridges.

shred is what you should be using if you really want to destroy a file, but I’m actually not sure that works well on all filesystems.

I’m pretty sure FAT32 and NTFS leave behind partial file artifacts when you edit/append data, and especially when you physically move it around.

It just seems inevitable you’ll leave behind deleted blocks with data, which only a fulle drive wipe would guarantee removal.

The modern web is an insult to the idea of efficiency at practically every level.

You cannot convince me that isolation and sandboxing requires a fat 4Gb slice of RAM for a measly 4 tabs.

It would be spectacular if Iran destroys the petrodollar.

The US economy has been essentially immune to such crashes because they can just print more money since everyone trades in USD. 2008 was financially devastating for the average person, but banks maked a metric ton of money and the government bailed them out of any losses.

But one of the big reasons everyone trades in USD is because all of the oil shill states only sell for USD, and they only sell for USD so they can invest it directly into the US economy.

If buying oil from said shill states is no longer an option, there’s no reason to keep using USD since the alternatives are Russia, Iran, and formerly Venezuela.

Yeah about the only thing we got was Biden’s recorded discontent with Israel’s failure to hide the obvious in Gaza.

And even for that he did literally nothing, despite the fact that it actually would have helped his reelection campaign significantly.

Hey to be fair I know several people who do know, but so poorly that they’ll still be defnitley grinding your gears lol.

There was a thread on one of the tech communities about CS horror shows, and one of them was a guy telling a story about how Amazon had to completely redesign their smart home printer function to run through some monkeychain cloud pipeline because right before launch because they realized one of the libraries related to CUPS was AGPL, which is a blacklisted license at Amazon.

The kicker was that the library also offered a lifetime corporate license for $100.

Amazon redesigned their entire printing functionality stack to avoid paying $100 (or following AGPL lol).

Define right wing because the last time I used that insult, it was against users spamming DNC propaganda lol

I would make fun of you for using toslink but eARC is such a scam that I don’t know why they didn’t just bother to upgrade toslink anyway.

I think they’re lying when they say it can’t handle the bandwidth. It’s a fricken fiber optic cable, just bump the transmitter.

You can have windows running on a literal super computer and you’ll still get slapped with the “This won’t take long” screen lol

Oh I actually gave the benefit of the doubt and thought you weren’t buying into Indian slop propaganda lol.

no viable proof for it

It’ll take me a hot second, but I can repost all of the wreckage footage here if you’d like.

I would trash on the Rafale for a number of reasons, but IAF’s losses had a lot more to do with their failure of real time strategy and overall capability in the air.

Regardless of the Rafale’s features, simply buying more of them isn’t going to solve the problem. You need a long term plan that includes a significant upgrade of ground and air radar platforms, SIGINT capabilities, EW and ECCM capabilities, an actual data link, modern long range BVR missiles, BVR training, etc, etc.

I thought PAF was bluffing when they said they intercepted cleartext air comms in 2019, but they proved it this time by publishing an audio snippet during their presentation, which means they either successfully jammed encrypted channels or India is using a heavily outdated cipher suite that can be trivially cracked.

Either one points to a serious lack of progression in the IAF’s ability to fight on a modern battlefield.

Ted Ts’o being awoken by the “next gen fs” devs screaming outside his house

Probably not within the given time frame, the US is still trying to figure out a way to topple the government without a land invasion which would be insanely more expensive.

Even without it, their airforce is practically nonexistent so they would be under constant air strikes which could cause desertion or internal rebellion.
