Been reading about this malware China is using written for Linux:

sysdig.com/blog/unc5174-chines

and it struck me: Why mount /tmp and /var/tmp without noexec, nodev, nosuid? Seems crazy to allow a directory anyone can write to, to run executables.

While we're at it, get rid of wget and curl and anything else that would allow them to even get a "dropper" on the system?

Isn't this common sense stuff?!

Hey / folks! How difficult is it to wire a British house built in 1950? I got limited power sockets, the fibre comes into the house next to the front door & it would be nice to stick the WiFi AP in the direct centre of the house. How difficult is it to run ethernet cabling? I am not really a home DIYer so any tips would be appreciated.

Please boost far & wide for coverage and many thanks in advance!

Hello everyone. I'm The Owlbear. I've been on Easymode.im for a while, and Bluesky, and now I'm here.

I'm into many nerdy things, particularly TTRPGS, Video Games, and Science Fiction. A few of my favorite things:

* Pathfinder 2e and Golarian in general.
* Murderbot
* Terraria (I suck at it tho)
* Fallout NV, 4, and London
* K-On!
* The two Alien movies (Alien and it's sequel, Aliens). I'm so glad they never made more.
* TTRPG design
* Trying to support LGBTQIA2S+ folks
* Owls

hard to fix Tusky bug 😒

So there is one bug that I'm aware of since at least a year and already spent days trying to fix it.

Here is how it goes:
You click a post in the home timeline, but a different one opens. You click an image, the app crashes (because it tries to open an image from a different post that has none).

I have seen it myself multiple times and got it reported often, but I have no idea what triggers it.

(continued in next post)

i'm never sure why, but folks tend to intuitively trust me, even if they don't know me well, it's always been that way

i'm a pretty gentle soul, and so i try to use that for good - i've had the privilege of supporting a lot of folks early on in their transitions, it's super fulfilling to know that i've made a difference

it'll remain an open offer - if you're alone or afraid or need help, i will always be a safe presence for those who are vulnerable and need one. dm me anytime :heart_trans:

도널드 트럼프 대통령이 ‘태평양 섬 해양 유산 보호구역’에서 상업적인 어업 활동을 허용하는 행정 포고문을 발표했습니다. 야생동물 보호구역 7개가 모여있는 이 지역은 멸종위기에 처한 거북이·상어·철새들의 서식지이며 지구 상에 얼마 남지 않은 청정 해양구역으로 꼽히는 곳입니다.

I came across information that the original quote in Futurism which said 99% electricity use was incorrect.
futurism.com/google-ceo-congre

The transcript says “3% to 9%”.
techpolicy.press/transcript-us

The larger point remains, though. AI and data center energy and water use is surging, and we are only at the beginning of this whole thing. For years, data centers energy use stayed below 1% and we were told not to worry. In countries like Ireland, data center energy use is now already over 20%

Former douchebag Google CEO says we should go all in on building AI data centers because 'we are never going to meet our climate goals anyway' so let's pour more fuel on the fire even faster. And anyway it's only going to be you poor plebs who'll die. We rich folk have got all sorts of escape plans. You're such suckers, using all our services, giving us your data for free. If you've no respect for yourself, how on earth do you expect us tech bro gods to respect you?

Diese Woche wurde ich erstmals in einem Interview mit einem Sender des ÖRR bei einer Äußerung zum Geschichtsrevisionismus gebeten, die #AfD nicht explizit zu erwähnen. Begründung: Das wird sonst nicht gesendet.
