  • Hegseth says he’ll order random pizzas to throw off monitoring app

    Jump

  • There was a tmnt toy back in the day that had a pizza cannon (I think it was the turtle van). I think tech might have caught up to that point by now to do it in real life.

  • Or maybe they'll do one fake order the day before the real one and keep doing it like that, and the half-assing just means the pizza index predicts it one day earlier.

  • Oh yeah, not saying they are generally equivalent, just in that one particular aspect: access to comment data for any purpose.

  • FYI, any data on Lemmy can be used for the same for free. The federation infra can even be used to give AI models more direct access than even reddit is likely giving them. Just in case anyone is assuming that because this is community-run that it means the data isn't being sold. It's not, but it is being accessed by the same entities, if they want it.

  • No, it's older than that. It's what militant civilizations were based on, this idea that it was fine and normal to go around with your warriors and dominate other groups while doing everything you could to prevent other groups from dominating you.

    Just instead of swords and spears being the main arena to determine who dominates who, now there's a system where words determine who dominates the other in a particular issue and it is enforced by warriors that answers to another neutral (in theory, not always in practice) power.

  • Generally agree with you but piloting a ST starship is different from piloting an airliner, main thing being that the starship is stable in space. Like you can cut all power to engines completely and it isn't going to fall into a planet or star, other than during specfic maneuvers. There's also the rest of the bridge crew present to take over if something comes up that he couldn't handle. I see it as more equivalent to letting a kid take the helm on an ocean ship. Still some potential for it to go wrong, but if the kid isn't a little shit wanting to see what happens if he yanks the wheel, it'll probably be fine.

    Between the shields and deflector array, anything that could pose a threat would likely be picked up by the sensors long before it was close. Other than a cloaked ship ambushing them, but even then I bet Riker could just bark out "computer execute evasive maneuver alpha and beam Wesley to sick bay. Data, take the helm. Red alert!"

  • If I were in the ST universe, my life would probably just be about getting energy that I would use to power my holodeck and maybe one of those external ones, too, to hide my presence on some planet whose geothermal energy I've tapped or whatever. Just make my own paradise until I get bored of it.

  • A sneaky demonstration of the dangers of curl bash

    Jump

  • An alternative that will avoid the user agent trick is to curl | cat, which just prints the result of the first command to the console. curl >> filename.sh will write it to a script file that you can review and then mark executable and run if you deem it safe, which is safer than doing a curl | cat followed by a curl | bash (because it's still possible for the 2nd curl to return a different set of commands).

    You can control the user agent with curl and spoof a browser's user agent for one fetch, then a second fetch using the normal curl user agent and compare the results to detect malicious urls in an automated way.

    A command line analyzer tool would be nice for people who aren't as familiar with the commands (and to defeat obfuscation) and arguments, though I believe the problem is NP, so it won't likely ever be completely foolproof. Though maybe it can be if it is run in a sandbox to see what it does instead of just analyzed.

  • Lol I wonder if windowscentral and MS got in a feedback loop and that's why MS was surprised at how much people hate copilot integration with the OS and every program they can shove it into.

  • I need more information. Are the potatoes stuck in your throat mashed? Or if they aren't, are you able to get a masher in there? Might help loosen it up and make it more delicious if you add some butter and milk or heavy cream.

  • It's something I've thought about a bunch and the strategy I've come up with is:

    If your breath is blocked, hold your breath at first and stay calm. Trying to breathe in could wedge it farther in. And trying to breathe out will likely move it, but gravity might just drop it back where it was only with less air in your lungs, which you need to help dislodge the obstruction. Panicking will make you more likely to waste your chance at getting it without needing to fall on something and potentially break ribs (or fail and die). You'll probably have to suppress your cough reflex. I've never done this before and have no idea how much conscious control one would have in that moment and I'm also someone who trained myself to be able to suppress coughs (to avoid embarrasing bong hits lol).

    Lean forward, the farther the better, to the point where loose food in your throat will just fall out your mouth. Then cough, if you make it also a growl, you can add more force, as you don't want to half-ass this. Your air might still be limited.

    You should be able to feel if you're making any progress. If you are, keep at it, if not, switch to the "fall on something to knock the wind out of you" strategy, still keeping your mouth angled down and add a cough as it impacts.

    If that fails, make a big ruckus. I've told my daughter that if she starts choking and can't speak to get my attention, knock dishes onto the floor to get my attention. If you're completely alone in your home, throw a pot out your window before running out your front door. Try to be efficient with your time and energy. Dial 911 and hope they send someone and don't assume a prank call or a kid when no one responds.

  • Learn to be ok with taking the L and spit food that is too hot back out of your mouth instead of swallowing. Also, test the temperature with smaller bits that will cool inside your mouth easier before going for a big bite.
