No, I don’t thing scrubs / balances resume on boot up, they’d have to be started again.

No, it makes no sense. Keep looking. Worst case, buy some locally for cash.

Convinces clueless FOSS communities to move off IRC. Onto a unusable protocol designed around netsplits they never cared about, yes, but it’s n o v e l!

Oh yeah. I’ve started Marvel Midnight Suns, and 4 hours of cutscene later they show how you deploy on a mission: by walking on a rainbow bridge or something. I’m like: “brilliant, now that’s a way to disguise loading with something I’m doing, even if it’s just walking” , and then, at a random place of that bridge, an actual loading screen appears for a good minute. What’s wrong with you.

Syncthing, a peer to peer file synchronize that basically everyone needs, they just don’t know it.

How does it look like in a proper 80x25?

Now when we have Matrix, we also need to deal with rescuing people from a NIH protocol designed around a property nobody needs.

Blocking UA access via JS alone is not enough.

I can’t even make it through the maze of your thoughts. Being sponsored by people who make killing utensils = bad, while being sponsored by people who literally kill = good? This is beyond logic.

NixCon Europe gets sponsor money from a military company. Taxpayers of the greatest democracy ever had a knee-jerk reaction, because not only they were having such a nice peaceful day before getting reminded that military exists, and they themselves are sponsoring it, while, clearly, in the enlightened world like ours military = bad, “every rifle made is money taken from good causes”. Also, wars are something that only happens in history books anyway, not, say, present-day Europe, amirite? Tons of internal value dissonance, fediverse buzz and free PR later, said military company gets their money back.

NixCon NA gets sponsor money from the same company, because the value proposition of the previous PR stunt was so sky-high, it’d be negligence to not repeat it. Taxpayers of the greatest democracy ever are reminded once again they don’t have a slightest say say in what they’re funding, so they try their best to not get funded back with their own money and bury their heads back in the sand again. Tons of free PR later, said military company gets their money back.

Now the foundation publishes a sponsorship policy, the community debates whether it is or is not enough to prevent said military company from diverting funds from the stuff they find so revulsing and towards the stuff they are so excited about. This round of free PR is on the house.

What’s gonna happen next, we all wonder.

inb4 “what would you say when the Nix-powered killer drones arrive to your country to start cost-effectively slaying your people”: “it’s 2024, dafuq took you so long”

And before Pidgin was named Pidgin, it was named GAIM, which was short for GTK AIM, which was short for GIMP toolkit AOL IM, which was short for GNU Image Manipulation Program toolkit America Online Instant Messenger, which was short for GNU’s Not Unix Image Manipulation Program toolkit America Online Instant Messenger and it never ends.

I run syncthing with my own relay and I trust that setup. Owning me through syncthing would basically require backdooring the software, something that’d be likely to go noticed by the syncthing community.

Rustdesk is a backdoor by functionality and it’s already using infra I don’t control. I don’t feel comfortable using that.

It’s literally a third-party service that let’s others control your desktop. Doesn’t matter how FOSS the clients and end servers are, one also needs to trust the intermediate servers. If those running them are caught dishonest about which country they’re located, the trust evaporates. China or not.

Whenever you get your podcasts, is it’s not RSS, it’s not podcasts.

True, all but NixOS and indistinguishable.

Guix doesn’t count.

You can use insecure boot and not enter the password. It can’t make stuff meaningfully more secure though, it just plain doesn’t add any protection against evil maid.

IMO NUCs are wonderful for a homelab beginner for 1. the vPro/AMT capability (that you’re skipping on for some reason) 2. the ability to go passive with aftermarket cases. If neither if that interests you, they’re… not much better than an equivalent laptop?

I do. While I could’ve self-hosted it easily, I’m just consciously OK with it being public.

I see you’re holding to the Australian view on cryptography.
