I was assuming devices being shut down. With running ones you’re of course right, the lengths e.g. GrapheneOS has to go to secure these are insane.

With home devices you very much could make them shut down, which would of course be necessary. E.g. various deadman switches, physical and logical ones. It sucks how common people have to think about this shit by now… fucking fascists…

A new automated bot rush found a way around safety measures. I’m sure our admins and devs are already on it.

Sigh, people in this sub keep posting nice things without the source code or self-hosting information. Unbelievable.

The concept sounds interesting. I do wonder how to make this “raid proof” though. Like, how do you make sure the device also becomes unbootable if I̶C̶E̶ ̶F̶a̶s̶c̶i̶s̶t̶s̶ ̶J̶e̶f̶f̶r̶e̶y̶ ̶E̶p̶s̶t̶e̶i̶n̶ ̶Y̶o̶u̶r̶ ̶M̶o̶m̶ ̶F̶r̶o̶n̶t̶e̶x̶ the police comes in and takes both? By now there are dogs able to sniff out PCBs even in walls (apparently they got a distinct smell K9’s can be trained on).

Does this software by any chance support two servers that both have only a part of the secret? That way you (and/or someone you trust) could deposit a Pi somewhere else and have some way to remotely disable the boot process.

Thank you, it’s already over 5 years ago (System is as bad as ever though). I’m past the dangerous timeframe and the cancer is gone. 🙂

Our conservative party would like to quit public healthcare and go into a system with health insurances and only private, for-profit hospitals.

That’s exactly what they did here in Germany, and it’s as bad as you can imagine. 2nd class citizens (those who can’t afford or aren’t healthy enough to switch to private insurance) have to wait anything between 4 to 14 months on doctor’s appointments, the hospitals are chronically underfunded (but apparently very profitable), yet we pay hundreds of euros per month. Some specialists basically do not exist for the 2nd class (the few that still do it have zero appointments or are burned out). The usual waiting time for therapy is between 1 (if lucky) and 3 years. Doctors can’t freely prescribe everything they deem necessary as some things might cause claims for compensation by the insurance years later. Or the other way around, they’re enticed to prescribe “specific stuff” just to keep their “business” (the doctors office) afloat, since doctors only get paid once for each patient every quarter. The second appointment within 3 months already makes your doc work for free. Oh, also one appointment is deemed to be only 5 minutes long by insurances. In some regions you can’t even find a General Practitioner anymore, let alone a hospital. It’s deemed “unprofitable” there.

Hell, when I was in hospital there were about 5 nurses for up to 32 cancer (!) patients with up to 8 of them in isolation rooms (including me for a while). At night there was ONE nurse (looked like a refugee desperate for a job) for the WHOLE station. During chemo the bladder doesn’t work too well, I had to call the nurse and waited about 25 minutes in the middle of the night next to a wet bed after scrambling for clean clothes before he stormed in, changed the whole bed in 60 seconds without saying anything and storming back out. I’ll never forget that, if I was still capable to feel a lot inbetween pain, dizzyness and nausea I would’ve felt incredibly alone.

There’s only one thing all of this causes, which is more money for rich people and higher numbers on stock markets. If they push that shit through you’ll suffer.

Those “epic deals” are mostly scam. I’ve looked at different stuff, and e.g. the beyerdynamic Amiron was supposedly 30% off or sth. but that was just the normal price for months. Same with TVs, just the normal price that sits well below MSRP suddenly praised as “Prime Day Deal”. Genuine reductions are usually merely ~5% and for e.g. blu-rays and stuff.

The only two things that were truly cheaper I found was a Brother printer, which went from 250€ to 200€, as well as a 9k BTU Monoblock AC (300 -> 230. Completely sold out within a day). All the other things were not worth it or just lies.

Damn bro, you’re treating yourself for sure! The RAM alone is what, 2k? 🥴

Going out during heatwaves usually is a recipe for bad memories.

Life is expensive no matter what you do.

More than Hungary or (formerly, but still somewhat given Neofascism) Italy? Oh god.

Not so sure about that, this probably heavily depends on your individual character and perhaps even more on who likes weapons when you were really young. If someone you intensively hate as child preached pacifism (or vice versa, people you looked up to being gun nerds) you’d be drawn towards weapons I’d assume.

You probably learned a lot from your mom, both her values and that she apparently trusted you to explore stuff she might dislike herself (even if you had to nag her to death for it). Sounds very healthy to me. 😉

They’re catching up.

Every individual is capable of good and evil, it doesn’t require a specific person for it. In fact believing it does (and therefore usually believing it isn’t you or your social group, but others) is a shortcut to inadvertently do evil shit without noticing any of it.

They already do.

Yikes. My first instinct would be to check the whole Z-axis for obvious construction defects or parts that are stuck at a certain height.

Another explanation could be your part detaching from the plate at some point and warping upwards, pressing against the nozzle. That would explain the massive sudden buildup of material (and weird one-sidedness of it) and ongoing wobbliness.

Edit: nvmd, just saw your comment about no sign of lifting.

For filehosts probably at least 90% of all uploads are illegal if you ask a copyright lawyer. 🥴 But that’s mostly just people sharing culture.

Of course damn CSAM is a different (and actual) kind of issue and plain awful to deal with. If I remember correctly some organisation from the US provides a free list of checksums of known crap that’s circulating to automatically check media file signatures against, I think that’s the first thing I’d look for to have some baseline defense against those disgusting fucks. Or (depending on your jurisdiction) even be compatible with the law for public hosting services.

Better use Tor & a trustworthy search engine when looking for infos how to implement such an upload filter, I wouldn’t trust automated systems from Google to not misinterpret your intention with these topics.

Raise the GDP, of course.
