Sorry to burst your bubble, but I’m pretty sure that’s not the one. There was no (attempt at) comedy in the one I was talking about. I kindof doubt I’d be able to find the name of the one I’m thinking about, but I might try later if I get a minute.
I have a vivid memory of staying home sick from school and watching daytime educational programming on PBS. There was a (dry, low-budget, old) math show for kids on. They had a “skit” where a couple of teenagers went and got replacement tires for their car. They came in with a set of numbers that I assume had to do with the tire measurements. (Maybe hub diameter, hub thickness, and tire outer diameter.) They found tires that matched on two of those numbers, but the guy was impatient and said it had to be basically the same because it matched on two parameters. Then in the next scene, the same teens were driving the car with brand new tires and they got pulled over for speeding. The driver was sure the speedometer said he wasn’t speeding, but the new outer tire diameter changed the calculation, meaning the speedometer read lower than they were actually going.
This is the first time in my life the memory of that show has ever come in handy.
The U.S. has always been bullies, fundamentalists, militant, entitled. All the things you don’t want in an ally. Yes, the U.S. is worse now. (I’m American, by the way.) But I hope U.S. allies have kindof seen this coming and made arrangements to weather this sort of thing, even if it lasts forever. Myabe that was kindof the point of the E.U., for instance.
The U.S. isn’t the only country going off the rails, though. Think of Brexit, for instance. I’m not saying the U.K. government is anywhere near as… quite frankly openly fascist as the U.S.'s is right now, but at least the U.K. isn’t immune. Unfortunately no country is.
Advertising? Even if only word-of-mouth.
It would have to be pretty secretive. But it’s not like there aren’t other services out there that do similar things illegally under cover of anonymity. (Silk Road, anyone?)
I don’t know where you got the idea that the key fob doesn’t transmit a signal when at rest. If you’re talking about keyless ignition with the button on the car (not remote start via key fob) the key fob transmits a response when it gets a request from the car.
The bad guys have a clever trick, though. They put one guy in your car and one guy next to you. The guy at the car hits the ignition button transmits the signal to the other guy, who transmits it to your fob. The second guy then transmits the response from your fob back to the guy in the car, who then sends it to the car. As far as your car knows, the fob is in the car. So it starts. A Faraday cage can protect against this.
“Bots” wasn’t the first thing that came to mind when I considered what the Bitcoin Cash community might be full of, actually.
But, yes. I’d be not even a little surprised if it was full of bots too.
Wait, is this an interview?
I’d be… uh… a t-rex… because, uh… I’m not afraid to… uh… take initiative?
I imagine sabots would do pretty well against graphics cards.
I… doubt it?
I took the liberty of looking in the developer tools as it failed, and there was a 500 response. The connection to Hulu’s servers was all over HTTPS and I didn’t get any certificate warning, so unless my ISP managed to get Hulu’s private key or got with a corrupt registrar willing to issue a valid replacement certificate, no ISP should be able to change response codes on a man-in-the-middle basis or a redirecting-traffic-to-a-hostile-server basis.
And given how many people have reported issues, I doubt it’s specific to any particular ISPs.
Net neutrality being dead is a huge bummer, but I don’t think this can be blamed on that.
I don’t disagree with anything you’re saying here. Yes, even though the pro-Trump folks don’t comprise a majority of Americans, it’s exceedingly concerning that they’re as close to 50% of the U.S. population as they are. I don’t think I said otherwise, though. I also didn’t say anything about whether the anti-Trump majority (if indeed it is a majority) is/isn’t/was/wasn’t/should be/shouldn’t be “silent.”
Were the anti-Trump folks really “silent” before the election? Was there something they weren’t saying that they should have? 'Cuz it’s not like there wasn’t anybody campaigning against him.
the majority of people voted for him
Eh… That’s not quite accurate. Current estimates are that 77,301,997 people voted for Trump, which is less than 50% of the 155,211,283 total votes cast. (But Kamala, the second-most-voted-for candidate got less than that at 75,017,626.)
But only about 64% of those eligible to vote voted.
So, not even half of those who did vote in the 2024 presidential election voted for Trump, let alone those who were eligible to voted, let alone all “people” in the U.S… But the ones who voted for Trump comprised many more than the number of people who voted for any other candidate.
American here.
First, you’re right. About basically all of what you said above.
I think you particularly hit the nail on the head with this:
I’m always thinking “dude, you need to chill” cause literally no one is attacking them and they’re fully secure. But it seems like they’re always searching for a fight or something.
The media here, funded by the big corporations, manufacture tons of FUD (“fear, uncertainty, and doubt.”) Things to be scared of. “They’re putting chemicals in the water that’s turning the frogs” (and by extension, your kids) “gay.” “The ‘woke mafia’ is trying to convert your kids to atheism.” “The Democrats are going to take your guns so they can install a totalitarian one world government without any resistance.” Most of it’s not true at all. Some has a nugget of truth but it’s not actually any threat.
I will say the Republicans are worse about this than the Democrats (the Democrats’ concerns are more legitimate than the Republicans’), but the Democrats are far from immune. Both are living in fantasy worlds.
…until something very bad happens like the second civil war…
Indeed there’s plenty of rhetoric out there pushing the idea that the U.S. is in a civil war. Between the woke antifa (short for “antifascist”) and the fascist conspiracy theorists.
Does it really do any good for the drive to be encrypted if it doesn’t require a password (or Yubikey or retinal scan or other authentication factor) on boot? If you’re just going to put the plaintext key/password on the same drive but in a partition that’s not encrypted, there’s no point encrypting the drive, right?
So maybe “it asks for a password on boot” is more of a “works as intended” thing?
How will I access the encrypted devices after installation? (System Startup) During system startup you will be presented with a passphrase prompt. …
The quote above is from Fedora documentation here
This is your root FS that’s encrypted that we’re talking about, correct?
If you really want an encrypted root but no password on boot and the plaintext decryption password/key on the same drive, there are ways to do it. (It would probably require customizing the initramfs somehow. But it’s Linux, and Linux certainly isn’t going to prevent you from doing such things. Just try to dissuade you.)
If we’re not talking about a root filesystem, that would likely change some things. If it’s Luks, I’m pretty sure it wouldn’t matter particularly where on your filesystem the key was so long as your /etc/crypttab refers to it. I’d say that sort of setup would probably only provide additional security if the encrypted drive is an external drive that you might worry could be stolen or physically accessed when the attacker doesn’t have physical access to your root filesystem.
Also, if you shared what encryption scheme was in use (Luks, Anaconda, etc), that would probably help as well.
Edit: Ah. Ok. You gave more info while I was typing the above response. What you want is unlocking via ssh. For sure.
Read the rest of the comments in this post. There are multiple ways he could, theoretically, and it’s not unlikely he’ll try.
Just about everyone looks better when they smile.
You’re the one who brought looks into it.
Well, I’m a mod of !fuck_ai@lemmy.world, so…
The rise of what recently/popularly has been referred to as “AI” is a massive scam/bubble.
“Osama Bin who?” And in a similar vein, “Jihad? That’s a Dune reference, right?”
“I’ll cash in on my Beanie Baby investment when it’s time to pay for my kid’s college tuition.”
“The internet is just a fad.”
“I’m so excited for the next The Matrix sequel.”
“Two bedrooms and a walk-out basement. $300 a month rent.”
Great question!
So, first off, if I knew what app(s) specifically you have in mind, that’d help me answer better, but in general:
makepkg -sf && sudo pacman -U <something>.tar.xz
. You can also get some helper scripts that do some of those steps for you for convenience. Definitely worth having the experience of doing it manually a few times first, though, I’d say.) Even if the only way to get the software in question from the publisher is in .deb form, you may still find a package on AUR that will unpackage the .deb and package the result up into an Arch package.$HOME/install/<softwarename>
. This can work even if the software is only available as a .deb file. You can just extract the .deb without installing it with the command ar x <blah>.deb
and a tar -xf data.tar.gz
and then put the files from within that .deb file where you want them.Just in case it’s useful to you, I’ll share the PKGBUILD I wrote for converting the Ubuntu kernel into an Arch package. It demonstrates how you’d go about extracting files from a .deb file in order to build them into an Arch package.

(I omitted the linux.preset
file. It’s just in the same directory with the PKGBUILD and it gets bundled into the Arch package. But it’s not really important for what you’re doing unless you’re trying to install a different kernel than the official Arch kernel on an Arch system.)
The part that extracts the files from the .deb packages is the ar x
command and the tar -xf
command. The package()
function there is what decides exactly what files will be in the Arch package and where. And makepkg
builds the package archive after running package()
.
That covers all the options for installing software not in the Arch repos that I can think of.
Maybe left-wingers are too demoralized right now because of Trump to even protest and protests will ramp back up once they’ve had a chance to grieve?
I’m not familiar enough with the scene you’re asking about to speak, though.
