Also, they totally know where their luggage is, it'll just take a couple of days to show up.

Props to Alpine and Kali for disabling this bullshit out of the box (lemmy.world)

Context for newbies: Linux refers to network adapters (wifi cards, ethernet cards, etc.) by so called "interfaces". For the longest time, the interface names were assigned based on the type of device and the order in which the system discovered it. So, eth0, eth1, wlan0, and wwan0 are all possible interface names. This, however,...

jonne ,

Also, canonical decided to try and solve the same 'problem' in a different, equally convoluted way.

jonne ,

I really don't understand why they still use those heavy lead acid ones. Couldn't you at least get a lighter lithium battery if it has to be a separate circuit?

jonne ,

If only a few control the LLMs that write the news and run society in general, bad shit will happen even if 99% of the profits went back to the people as UBI or some other distribution method.

Not sure what the solution is, but if AI is to become the new means of production, it can't be entrusted to a few capitalists.

jonne ,

They did say what works and what doesn't. Attack private jets and block oil refineries, don't spray paint Stonehenge or paintings. It's not hard to figure out what's going to be popular and what isn't.

jonne ,

Yeah, people don't care that it washes off easily, they don't hear about that part, the point is that those actions aren't popular, painting/blocking private jets is, so just do more of that instead?

jonne ,

There's that one time they did it, also the time they breached the private jetway in Schiphol and cycled around. Not sure if it happened more times.

jonne ,

I didn't search it out, that's what I remember from it being reported on at the time, ie. the thing you asked me about.

Electric Aviation is already better than you think - Volts with David Roberts (www.volts.wtf)

Electric vehicles that can take off and land vertically, but then fly like a plane, are already being sold and used by hospitals and shipping companies. These vehicles have 5 batteries that give it a range of over 350 miles using current battery technology, though the batteries are intended to be swapped over the life of the...

jonne ,

If you replaced every vehicle with an electric airplane the electricity needed would be astronomical.

jonne ,

It's not even copyright laws, it's everyone insisting on exclusive contracts. There's no reason a piece of content couldn't be on Netflix and Disney+ at the same time. It would be a lot better for consumers if streamers could compete on price and service instead of which content they managed to create/licence.

jonne ,

All of those things already exist. Typically it's just a Plex server running on a cloud service.

jonne ,

You pay like $5/Mo for the content of all streaming services and more instead of the $500/Mo it would cost to subscribe to each of them individually. Plus you're not taking any legal risk as a customer.

jonne ,

Yep, you choose between Spotify, Tidal, etc based on price and how well the app works, not because one service has the band you like while the other one doesn't (not that music streaming isn't its own shitshow for other reasons, of course).

jonne ,

I'm guessing banging your employees counts as work to this guy.

jonne ,

Valve did some work to support it in steam deck, it's going to work its way upstream hopefully.

jonne ,

Probably depends on how much effort you want to put into it. Probably works in some distros with certain repos, but won't work out of the box everywhere.

jonne ,

But in order to get the money for those programs, especially if their effect is to lower the workload for police, you should get the money from the police budget, otherwise it's just wasted money. Are you just going to keep giving the NYPD a billion dollars a year to do nothing?

Do you think people would be okay with 'Recall' if Apple did it?

With the recent WWDC apple made some bold claims about privacy when it comes to so called Apple Intelligence. This makes me wonder if they did something to what Microsoft did with Recall feature, would people be less concerned and to an extend praise their effort?...

jonne ,

One thing it claimed was the ability to rewrite copy. Basically finally an improvement over spellcheck which has been the same for like 20 years. Would be nice to have something better built into the OS in every text field.

You could also have stuff like suggestions in your terminal when you're starting to write a command based on what's in the man pages and the layout of your filesystem.

jonne ,

Yeah, but that's just the kernel. Anything above that (window manager, the utilities that they didn't outright copy from BSD, apps, ...) is basically closed source.

jonne ,

I guess it's just the lack of any crumple zone, similar to the VW van your legs are essentially the crumple zone.

jonne ,

*planted obsolescence

jonne ,

Now everyone will get to run Wordle!

jonne ,

Oh no, there's communists involved in my free global collaborative software project!

jonne ,

I think when you remotely wipe the phone you can make it show a message with your phone number, in case you're actually a honest person that found the phone instead of a thief.

jonne ,

You mean hosting your own crawler/indexer? That doesn't really sound like a thing you could do cost-effectively.

jonne ,

Yeah, I guess the P2P component sort of solves part of the issue I was imagining by distributing indexes and crawling. I was thinking that people were trying to run all of Google on a raspberry pi at home.

jonne ,

Going against traffic is actually the safe option in some situations. Being able to see oncoming traffic is a good thing.

jonne ,

It's the biggest issue I have with the media, they don't call out liars. As long as it's someone 'official', they can get away with any lie. Whether that's the NYPD, LAPD US military, Pentagon spokesman, white house spokesperson, IDF, etc.

jonne ,

You're always supposed to use multiple methods regardless.

jonne ,

TIL China will kidnap people globally for saying the wrong thing.

jonne ,

Eventually even those customers will look at alternatives too if there's only like 50 companies worldwide using it.

jonne ,

The episode with Drew Carey, Weird Al and Thomas Lennon was definitely one of the highlights. I enjoy the show, but as you said, it really depends on the guests.

jonne ,

That's really only in theory. I don't think there's any country where the government does what the polis wants in every instance.

jonne ,

Damn, even your slurs get maximum privacy.

jonne ,

Pretty sure Twitter strips it out by default.

jonne ,

Red Hat used to pay the main ones, not sure if that's still the case post-IBM acquisition.

jonne ,

I wonder if the guy that designed autopilot had the same idea. "So when the car detects resistance up ahead in the form of a crowd or wall, it will accelerate to make sure it goes through!"

jonne ,

For a thermostat that's built into a house, 16 years doesn't seem long enough, tbh. A 'dumb' thermostat can easily be in use for 30+ years before anyone would even consider replacing it.

But yeah, as you said, if it's connected to the internet you have to worry about software patches, certificates, etc.

jonne ,

In the last 16 years there's been multiple SSL vulnerabilities, so if someone was motivated enough, they could probably hack it, especially considering they'd have physical access. You could probably even dump out the filesystem and overwrite certificates with your own.

jonne ,

Home assistant can talk to homekit devices without involving Apple, so you can assume it'll be around for a while.

jonne ,

Not quite everything. The stuff that calls home to their own servers can't be saved by home assistant. If you take care to buy stuff that can be controlled locally, you're more likely to have some longevity out of your devices.

local cloudflare alternative

hi is there any local cloudflare alternative becourse from my reading it seems that that using it for jellyfin is against cloudflares TOS and i would like to get jellyfin to my domain but i dont wanna pay for it, so a loxal alternative would probably be my best bet, i also would prefer not to open any ports

jonne ,

You can use your own domain and set a CNAME to any of the DDNS ones. So eg. home.mydomain.com can be a CNAME for oliper.ddns.com.

jonne ,

So is the implication that he's just going to source all those things from a Chinese company? Basically the next Tesla and chargers will just be rebadged BYDs or whatever?

jonne ,

That's definitely something I want to see when I pause YouTube to take a phone call or whatever.

jonne ,

Yep, now they own ansible and terraform. No way they'll let both exist long term and they'll likely kill both.

jonne ,

I bought a dedicated mini PC for it, and if you just manage it using proxmox it's pretty straightforward (if you already know how to do Linux things and paste the right commands from the tutorial in there).

There's still stuff I need to fix to make it the only smart home controller, right now I have a ton of different stuff (switchbot, meross, Google home and HA).

Google fires 28 employees after protest over Israel cloud contract (www.theverge.com)

Google fired 28 employees in connection with sit-in protests at two of its offices this week, according to an internal memo obtained by The Verge. The firings come after 9 employees were suspended and then arrested in New York and California on Tuesday....

jonne ,

Unfortunately it doesn't appear to be enough for most western countries.

jonne ,

I guess Google didn't want to risk finding out.
