It may be well-intentioned

It may, but it is not.

In addition to the other comments… These functions transverse the target subdirectories and try to copy/move files into themselves, which just won’t work but is a waste of time and you’re gonna see these errors. Just skip them like so find . -path ~/png -prune -o -iname "*.png" -exec ...

It’s only downhill from there for Discovery.

The exact opposite is true for Lower Decks, I hated it in the beginning, but it ended up being my favourite show in 20 years.

The UK offers an early case study of how well-intentioned online-safety laws can go wrong.

What a huge presumption that these laws are well-intentioned.

still it is concerning, that any program can know about the sites I visit

As other noted, that’s the case in Linux, by default all processes are equal, so if your shell process can access a file, the Firefox process can access that file.

But there are in fact many ways to sandbox processes and prevent exactly what you are worried about. One way is to install applications via Flatpak (or Snap), that can limit what files the app can see, while still running as your user.

If there is an app you need and don’t trust that’s not available as a flatpak (or snap), there are ways to sanbox it manually. It does require some tinkering, but people can help you on !linux@lemmy.ml

Turns out the light at the end of the tunnel is the huge white margins on this meme

Clicked this post to say just that

Was Nunavut known by that name at the time? I thought this name for the part that was split from the Northwest Territories was given in modern times and just means “our land”, but I may be wrong.

I don’t really need the encryption

In this case I’d say, LUKS is an overkill and just complicates your life. Try to think of a worst case scenario and what you are trying to protect against. Full disk encryption protects you against someone physically and clandestinely tampering with your server to compromise you by altering your OS, I’d say most selfhosters aren’t at risk of this (I do use LUKS on my laptop, because if I’m not available to decrypt the drive then there’s no reason for it to get decrypted). My approach to the server is to have encrypted directories as needed. For example the SFTP directory, the logic being that some of what’s there may be sensitive, so encryption at rest prevents leakage after the drive is eventually disposed of. But my Git repos (including private ones) and calendar aren’t encrypted at rest. Other services (e.g. Matrix, Borg, Vaultwarden) provide E2E so don’t really need further encryption.

But with SSS and m=3, n can only be 1, 2 or 3. If n=2 there is a possibility for a conspiracy of 2 and a redundancy of 1, if n=3 then all three have to agree, but there is no redundancy, which was the case here.

Online bookings, such as through Expedia, are immediately canceled, even if they concern hotels in France.

I kinda wonder about that, hotel bookings usually require name and contact information only. So does Expedia and/or participating hotels blacklist all individuals with the name “Nicolas Guillou”, or is it based on email address / phone number (that could easily be changed)?

3 is just a small number in this context, you can prevent a conspiracy (of 2), or have a redundancy (of 1), but not at the same time. They choose wrong… It’s always a risk when something hinges on a single human individual.

As the article says, there are different flags flown there all the time, including the Israeli flag, the arguments against flying the Palestinian flag specifically don’t make any sense. I’m unfortunately out of town now, I would have loved to be there.

I don’t know if OOP knows it but there’s actually a dinosaur called Albertosaurus, named after the province (it went extinct before the mass extinction though). Edmontosaurus though was one of the dinosaur genera to have lived until the very end of the Cretaceous, and witness the asteroid that ended it.

Exposing stuff to the internet shouldn’t be that scary… I haven’t had any incident so far in 8 years. Yes, you see plenty of illegitimate access attempts in the logs, but if everything is properly patched, it should be OK.

This post is quite profound

Square metres is pretty easy if you grew up with square feet, the convention factor is close enough to 10. When I was on the market for a home, I talked to my agent exclusively in m². Even though she’s really not used to it, we communicated pretty well.

I don’t like reboots or parallel universes so not disappointed.

I was unhappy that Dougie decided to spend our tax dollars on ads in the US, but now I’m upset he’s pulling them. Are we getting a refund for the ad slots we didn’t use?

1% random error but the systematic error is probably pretty huge.
