  • Helsinki police seize opioid 'more dangerous than fentanyl' | Yle News | Yle

    Jump

  • "...but if used orally it has been shown to have approximately 10 times the potency of morphine"

    Per wikipedia, so grain of salt and all that. Still...

    Vast difference in potency between fent and morphine.

  • Time enjoyed is not wasted.

    Of course, Tik Tok isn't my jam, so it would be a waste of time for me.

  • I've often wondered how the world would cope without 24 hour IT support.

    All I know is I would love to see the chaos unfold, sadly, I think more than a few lives would end as a result so I can't condone that for all fields.

  • German railway seeks IT admin to manage MS-DOS and Windows 3.11 systems

  • Me too.

    In high school, there was a kid who was always trying to make money. Like even then, he wanted his own business. In fact he had a couple small ones back then.

    One of his endeavours was massive LAN parties. He had the capital to rent spaces, hardware, and was even able to get sponsorships.

    He did not have the tech chops to do it though.

    Myself, and one circle of friends were THE computer nerds of the school, but it wasn't really seen as a negative for us - then again we did orchestrate a "free day" and got away with it by taking down the schools network from inside and one person had a loud fucking mouth, but we covered our tracks.

    Anyways, we got in free to these LAN parties as long as we set up and maintained shit. Surprisingly very few problems, about once a LAN party we had to fix something. And it was useful experience.

    That shit was fucking amazing. I loved it.

    I got home from work. Wife works from home. She has had an ongoing tech issue I can't really touch because it's that companies property. But I just don't want to hear it. At all. I'm dead inside in that regard.

    It's gotten so bad that I had an issue with my gaming rig.

    I needed to reseat the RAM. Not hard, except the case is mounted on the wall as a display piece that would require moving a bunch of shit before getting a ladder and yada yada.

    I just didn't game for three days. Just could not muster the energy to care about that. I hate it.

  • Hackers Crack Tesla Twice, Rake in $1.3 Million at Pwn2Own Automotive

  • Bounties are a bit nebulous.

    Actual pen testing companies have red teams (attackers) that have a scope of what they are allowed to target, and how they go about it.

    For example, just because a red teamer can get into the data center to do stuff locally doesn't meet the scope requirement of testing their web page externally. They would be prosecuted most likely.

    Pen testing companies also have lawyers, at least they should, who help negotiate scope and what is legally allowed and in what context.

    Due to the secrecy needed for some tests, the security staff may not be aware a test is in place. From what I understand, generally people have some sort of paperwork on their person, or at least the contact information of someone at the company with the authority to authorize this red team pen test.

    That being said, cops may still get called, you may still get arrested, and have to deal with the courts.

    Or worse, some trigger happy security guard shoots you.

    I'm just studying that stuff though at the moment, so take what I said with a grain of salt.

  • Has anyone ever successfully utilized ADA protections in a work environment?

    Jump

  • In school, yes.

    Before laptops in every classroom was a thing, I was struggling heavily with hand written assignments.

    I'm dysgraphic. Where dyslexia fucks with input to the brain, dysgraphia fucks with output. Hand writing is the most noticed, but affects typing and speech too. Hitting backspace to fix a word is a lot less consuming than trying to fix mistakes in pen.

    So I got approval to use a laptop. Thankfully my family had the means to provide one.

    Wouldn't you know it, my grades improved dramatically when the teachers could actually read what I had written.

  • Oh, well that's totally affordable and won't affect the consumer market at all.

    Repeat.

    Which game am I talking about? Doesn't matter, it's the Ubisoft formula these days and has been for a long time.

    Wake me up when Ubisoft metaphorically burns to the ground, or they do something innovative.

  • I have a relative who did it.

    But they are super into genealogy.

    At this point, to go deeper, they would need to learn a new language and travel half way across the world.

    I was not consulted before this was done. I would have cautioned against it.

  • As a Texan, I concur. I've talked about it.

    It either falls upon deaf ears, or it's quietly agreed to and pushed into the background so as not to cause waves.

    When polite discourse doesn't work, it leaves people looking for alternatives to talk.

    Sadly, being humans, violence inevitably is proposed at some point.

    I don't condone violence, but Martin Luther King Jr. made a salient point, "A riot is the voice of the unheard."

    The grand experiment that was America is crumbling before our eyes, and I am unsure if we as Americans can make things better without it getting worse first, and ultimately becoming something else in its place.

  • This makes me miss a bar I used to go to, and was the favored watering hole for most of the staff at a previous job.

    It had had several owners, and it's name changed on official paperwork every time. Locals still called it Big Tree.

    Why?

    It was built around a big tree that went out of the roof lol.

    It was bought and demolished, the tree removed.

    Nothing has been done with the lot since, and it's been a couple years.

    Damn shame.

  • So, timeshift or NixOS?

  • I know a little linux, but obviously I'm still learning. I've picked up everything I know on my own, for the most part - internet guides from the linux community tend to be pretty solid, and I know enough to not totally FUBAR my system.

    Is there a listing of standard linux directories and what they're for? Lite /etc, things like that. Because I seem to find bits of different stuff in a variety of directories.

    I've recently moved to linux on my gaming rig, which is my daily driver - that being said, it is mainly for gaming. Anything can surf the web or play videos and shit, for the most part.

  • Cost and a personal bias, also I've seen more helpful communities amongst Linux and FOSS advocates than trying to deal with a big brand.

    I've done a lot of IT stuff in my life, even before working in IT.

    I've seen too many issues from big brands, and its usually caused by the company.

    I have a Pi 2 from way back. I've thrown so many distros at that thing over time, and without fail I don't run into any problems I didn't personally create while learning or through human error.

    I understand all too well that those big brands have support for businesses, warranties, etc. It makes them cost effective long term for business. At a personal level I just don't see the benefits outweighing the negatives.

    Again, personal bias. Same core reason I avoid apple products, bias, though I mainly dislike apples cost combined with their closed off, well, everything.

  • Server Hardware?

    Jump

  • I've got enterprise level hardware, rack moubtable all that jazz.

    Between the cost of power, and the heat it generates (which uses more AC and thus power) its not feasible to run it.

    I'm looking into clustering some raspberry pis for a more power (and heat) efficient hardware as my next project. Barely scratched the surface of research though.

    So hey, if anyone has any tips or links, it would be much appreciated.
