Rioting Pacifist

the industry has moved beyond simple IP address checks to deep packet inspection of wireless network identifiers.

I don’t think this is a good description of what happened.

The app likely used the BSSID based location service or even did that itself with their own service.

But it renders the advice kind of useless:

• Use Cellular Data for Sensitive Transactions: - Android has the WiFi scanning setting under location services, if that’s enabled the actual connection you use doesn’t matter.
• Utilize Private Hotspots: -same
• Review App Permissions: - the correct fix.

While they cannot stop BSSID collection at the network level

They litterally can, no app installed from the app store is setting your interface to promiscuous mode & manually reading SSID headers, if you don’t give permission to use location services they can’t read use the services that translate BSSIDs into locations.

Whereas Discord the Nazi & groomer site, is completely pedophile free?

Weird to consider Google Pedos you want to keep away from your Discord account.

Seems like you could use swap if this is just running out during parts of the install.

Define securely.

I’ve run my nextcloud online for a few years with no incidents, it’s behind Apache, I keep it up to date, I have a bit of extra hardening (but none of it really hardens nextcloud itself it would just make running exploits on my server more visible).

It doesn’t really add security in the traditional sense but for a personal server logging outbound traffic and having it email me when something non standard initiates a connection also gives me an added sense of security.

Because snaps is a Ubuntu thing, and not particularly widely used on Debian.

I actually don’t understand what use case snapd on Debian covers better than docker on Debian or snapd on ubuntu

A bit overdue, but as a Debian user who doesn’t contribute back, not really my place to criticize.

What do you mean by lacking?

I think QML apps are meant to be designed to work on touchscreens but whole pre-QML apps prioritize a mouse+keyboard interface I’d be curious as to how that sucks for touchscreens?

You can never be sure there is no spyware because if your infected a sufficiently advanced spyware can hide itself.

In theory you can use a liveCD to scan your OS for specious signs but if someone has written bespoke spyware for you it may be hard to detect as it won’t match any of the signatures.

Yeah it’s funny with AI they are deliberately obfuscating what they can actually do to scare people CEOs with FOMO.

Running an ISP is simpler than a powergrid, sewer system or water system.

It’s how rural America got electricity, it’s wild that the system is so captured that many people believe it’s easier to launch junk into space than to run cables to people’s homes.

1. It came from a corporation so was designed by 1 guy not a committee and some people will never forgive it for that.
2. The systemd suite is far more than an init system and keeps getting bigger, I genuinely think it’s just a matter of time until it has a mail retrieval service built into it.
3. It offers clear benefits so even distros resisitent to depending on a tool when there are alternatives have adopted it
4. It doesn’t pander to slacktivist on stuff like including an optional DoB field

That’s about it, I find it kind of annoying sometimes as it messes with stuff I knew how to do (harden per-user-tmp partitions), but overall the benefits to distro maintenance must be worth it so I don’t worry about it too much.

Much like the DoB stuff I find the pushback to it far more annoying than the actual inconvenience of sometimes not being able to configure a tweak how I’d like.

Maybe it’s not slop, but this can lead to lazy developers that don’t grok the code they write.

Linus was right to be sceptical about unit tests in the kernel, writing to test without understanding the problem is common in my paid job. The AI enabled equivalent of writing code without truly understanding it, is going to be much worse and is a separate issue to the pure slop AI generates at the moment.

AI is also likely to write bugs faster than they are reported.

Maybe the rust code would help in this.

Why? Are these bugs in modules that are memory management related?

What’s the timeout on a TCP connect?

Could you not wake from suspend in that window? Maybe even a full hibernate.

I use powetop on laptops to recommend config optimizations, it could run on a server too.

hdparm can configure HDDs to powerdown, but I’ve never had any success using it on my router.

In theory I think You could use WoL and have your router wake a device before sending traffic but I haven’t seen any guides for doing this so maybe I’m missing something.

Just so I got this straight I’m a Fed simping magat, because I think you’re being hysterical about a Californian law that doesn’t require verification and returns a locally stored unverified age?

I’m honestly kind of neutral on the law but the hysteria around it as a slippery nipple to completely different laws is ridiculous.

California is a blue state

Lmao, you realize it’s a state law right?

Honestly the level of delusion around this is Alex Jones Turning the Frogs gay, there is a shred of truth but that’s about it and you’re our here popping vines over a PR that does very little.
