AmazonLinux doesn't have epel on by default afaik? Seems unlikely this is Amazon the company and not their customers

Doesn't metal usually burn up on re-entry too?

Citation needed.

Who's ignoring hallucinations? It gets brought up in basically every conversation about LLMs.

Yep, no one claimed otherwise.

Firefox 126: New Search Data Telemetry, Improved Copy Without Site Tracking, Security Fixes, and More (www.mozilla.org)

Telemetry was added to create an aggregate count of searches by category to broadly inform search feature development. These categories are based on 20 high-level content types, such as "sports,” "business," and "travel". This data will not be associated with specific users and will be collected using OHTTP to remove IP...

FalseMyrmidon ,

Telemetry is important for prioritizing feature development and support for the silent majority of users that don't disable it and then complain about ALSA support being dropped.

The update has more details

https://blog.mozilla.org/products/firefox/firefox-search-update

It's to help improve address search bar suggestions

Should just start referring to them as part time jobs. How much work can they be if he's supposedly doing multiple at once?

That's a reputable org.

It was literally the first result on DuckDuckGo for me FWIW.

In larger networks VLANs let you do network segmentation across switches, which you can't really do otherwise.

I wouldn't bother at home.

FalseMyrmidon ,

Yes, you create virtual nics tied to the physical one.

What to be aware of before opening port 25 on a postfix Raspberry Pi?

I have a raspberry pi running postfix. I Realised unless I open port 25 I absolutely cannot receive emails (I have 587 open and can send but not receive them). However I heard there are scaries online which someone could potentially send emails from your server without consent. I believe as well my ISP doesn't block port 25. Is...

FalseMyrmidon ,

100% agreed. It's well worth outsourcing to someone else for $10/mo versus the amount of work it takes to do it well unless you're a large business.

I'd make this argument for DNS too - a lot of work for how easy it is to pay someone else to handle it.

FalseMyrmidon ,

Many ISPs will also block inbound SMTP unless you have business account (and sometimes even then) because it's a common malware/spam vector.

If you insist on going through with this the key thing is to make sure that you're not an open relay.

FalseMyrmidon ,

Buy your own domain name and put it in front of someone else's service. This is going to be a ton of work to do correctly and you're unlikely to be able to host it out of your house.

Also, something you're running off a Raspberry Pi in your house is not going to meet most definitions of 'reliable'.

FalseMyrmidon ,

Personally I'd probably go with MS hosted exchange or a Google business account. If you don't trust those entities I've heard good things about ProtonMail - I imagine they have some kind of business solution.

FalseMyrmidon ,

Things like screen reader access have huge potential uses by malware. Generally it should not be trivial for a program to get that level of access to everything you do.

https://www.androidpolice.com/android-13-blocks-accessibility-services-sideloaded-apps/

It just takes an additional warning acknowledgement.

Google isn’t fully stopping sideloaded apps from using accessibility services, though. Once you’ve run into the dialog saying that accessibility services are restricted for the app in question, you can activate access under the app info screen in the top right corner via the “allow restricted settings” menu entry, so if you’re a power user interested in augmenting your phone with a legitimate app, you can still do that. This seems like a loophole that nefarious apps could circumvent by instructing users to enable restricted settings. Thus, it’s possible that Google will still change this behavior before going live with stable Android 13.

Oh, so it's just not funny

Amazon Ditches 'Just Walk Out' Checkouts at Its Grocery Stores (gizmodo.com)

Amazon is phasing out its checkout-less grocery stores with “Just Walk Out” technology, first reported by The Information Tuesday. The company’s senior vice president of grocery stores says they’re moving away from Just Walk Out, which relied on cameras and sensors to track what people were leaving the store with.

He means the namesake, not the web service from the last 20 years.

Apex Legends streamers surprised to find aimbot and other hacks added to their PCs in the middle of major competition via anti-cheat software (www.pcgamer.com)

Wow it finally happened. So glad I switched to steam running on linux mint last week. I refused to install helldivers because it wanted to install some no holds barred god level permissions anti-cheat software. Windows 11 was the last straw for me. Good times.....

An EAC RCE 0-day would be worth a lot of money to nation states or organized crime.

That page starts by complaining that alternative medicine is represented negatively. Going to skip the rest of the blog lol

FalseMyrmidon ,

You can already do that. How does federation help?

FalseMyrmidon ,

The location tracking on my phone is in no way precise enough to determine this info.

FalseMyrmidon ,

You've never had the location or direction be incorrect in Google Maps?

FalseMyrmidon ,

Why is Google Maps often inaccurate then?

FalseMyrmidon ,

Agreed, the original was a stupid design. This is much more realistic looking and looks 'fine'. Though it doesn't look like it's worth 3 grand either...
