  • Today I'm grateful I'm using Linux - Global IT issues caused by Crowdstrike update causes BSOD on Windows

    Jump

  • Why should it be? A faulty software update from a 3rd party crashes the operating system. The exact same thing could happen to Linux hosts as well with how much access those IPSec programms usually get.

  • CrowdStrike legt weltweit Windows lahm

    Jump

  • Nur weil man privat mit Windows defender und einer basic Firewall auskommt, heißt das noch lange nicht, dass große Firmen das auch tun. Noch dazu hat Linux im Bereich Cybersecurity quasi keinen Unterschied zu Windows. Privat kann man sich den Antivirus sparen weil:

    1. die Nutzerbasis zu klein ist/war
    2. Linux Anwendungen normalerweise aus bekannten Repositories kommen
    3. die Nutzer sich mit Technik auskennen und selbst als Antivirus fungieren

    Als größere Firma (vor allem Banken und kritische Infrastruktur) muss man permanent mit Angriffen von außen und innen rechnen. Ne einfache Firewall hilft dir da nicht mal gegen nen basic DDoS Angriff.

    Klar kann man viel abdecken durch einfache Mittel wie gut gemanagte Zugriffrechte und das Sperren von USB ports, aber das schützt halt hauptsächlich vor der Dummheit/Unwissenheit der eigenen Mitarbeiter.

    Das soll auch nicht heißen, dass alles in so einem Software Packet relevant ist, da ist sicherlich auch viel unnützer Müll dabei. Aber ganz ohne IPSec Tools kommt man nicht weit.

  • Google and Microsoft consume more energy than 100+ countries | Windows Central

    Jump

  • And both of these companies build and purchased more renewable energy sources than all 100+ countries combined. Microsoft has committed to be carbon free by 2030, and while I don't belive in their commitment, they at least seem to be trying contrary to most nations. They even invested in nuclear plants for their power needs.

    You can fault both companies for a lot of different reasons, but in terms of carbon emissions due to power usage, they are better than 99.9% of the countries on that list.

  • Google and Microsoft consume more power than some countries

    Jump

  • Google builds entire datacenters with their own transformers and power lines, if not their own powerplants. You plug these datacenters directly into the high voltage networks that don't have big capacity problems.

    The low voltage grids in residential areas on the other hand were build as cheap as possible, so increasing the load by 20% is already too much for most of them.

  • Solar PV on the roof of the Brighton Whitehawk public library

    Jump

  • Newer panels usually don't have that big of an issue with partial shading, but it definetly isn't optimal.

  • Studying nahh

    Jump

  • That has nothing to do with age. Most people nowadays are so used to instant gratification that they struggle with stuff that only helps them in the long term, me included. Last time I tried to seriously sit down and learn I caught myself doing dishes and watering plants after not even 30mins.

  • Firefox added ad tracking and has already turned it on without asking you

    Jump

  • Let's be honest, opt in telemetry features will collect so little data they might es well not exist.

    Considering that ot is supposed to reduce user tracking by tracking ads directly, it's a net gain for everyone.

  • TIL SimpeLogin has limits for how many accounts you can make for a single site

    Jump

  • Or have a public social media account and a 'business' one I use to share my own music or something? My dual-boxing MMO accounts?

    Wanna bet that you are already breaking TOS with both of these things? And I don't mean SimpleLogins TOS, but the one of the social media platform and MMO. Most big platforms only allow one account per user, no matter how the account is used. Sometimes you can create a business account, but that's still linked to your private one. Same goes for pretty much any online game, you are limited to one account per person.

    I don't think that there is any sense behind these limitations, but simplelogin isn't concerned about that, they only care about the legality of your actions and limit their service accordingly.

    Google Maps tests new pop-up ads that give you an unnecessary detour

    Jump

  • They get that same location data with or without maps. As long as you are using stock android, Google knows exactly where you've been even if you enable airplane mode. They get your position with WiFi networks and other phones around you and store that data with timestamps. Maps doesn't give them any extra data, it simply binds you into their ecosystem.

  • How i can stop this google nag banner to login in third party websites?

    Jump

  • Technically yes, but the Google and Googlegetmanager scripts are used in so many cases that you want to keep them active permanently.

  • On SimpeLogin, How do I get past this when creating aliases? I waited 30 mins and it still shows

    Jump

  • Considering that most VPN adresses are linked to suspicious, if not outright illegal, activity, its quite reasonable to assume that they end up on automatic block lists.

  • Nuclear isn't perfect, but it is the best we have right now.

    Jump

  • Nuclear is the worst possible option to fill said gaps. Nuclear reactor need to run at a mostly stable output permanently, they are slow to react to changes and can't be switched on or off at will.

    You could use them to generate a stable base power level, but that's the opposite of what we need. It wouldn't change anything regarding the need of energy storage.

    The best option currently as a gap filler is gas cause it can be turned on or off in minutes when needed.

    Not keeping up with demand is a self-made problem. Multiple EU countries already have multiple days a year where they use 100% renewables.

  • Pity, really.

    Jump

  • Tbh, that's something I can totally understand. Some programs use very obscure savefile locations, usually hidden behind 10 subfolders somewhere under your documents.

  • Am I the only one preferring low quality media over high quality one?

    Jump

  • You don't really prefer a lower resolution, you just work within the limitations you have.

    Also, I don't notice much of a difference between 1080p and 720p

    Either your display is really shitty or you need (better) glasses. This isn't like the difference between 60 and 144hz where its barely visible for untrained eyes.

  • YouTube Seems to Be Cracking Down on a VPN-Powered Discount

    Jump

  • Tbh, that's pretty much the only thing Youtube did in the last few years that I can't really complain about. I despise their business tactics, but using your VPN to get regional prices just fucks it up for everyone. In first world countries, it's one or two hours of work. The same price in poor countries would be up to a monthly wage, that's why it costs them less. Abusing this will only end in most companies removing regional differences and blocking VPNs completely.

    There are other methods to get the same functionality, use them instead of creating problems for others.

  • Why can you join Minecrfat premium servers with cracked bedrock but not with cracked java?

    Jump

  • Java version runs flawlessly on Linux and is superior either way.

  • This company is the laughing stock of gaming right now

    Jump

  • Steam requires others to keep the game downloadable if its in your library, but they can't do anything if ubisoft decides to shut the servers down. You keep your license but it's useless.

  • The EU are voting on Chat Control this Wednesday 19th June

    Jump

  • Proton pretty much always complies with government access requests, and they never claimed otherwise. They, however, don't have access to the content of your emails due to their encryption, meaning the data they give to governments is restricted to what you give them. They can at most give out your name, payment information, and backup mail if you voluntarily gave that info to them.

  • YouTube testing server-side ad injection to counter ad blockers

    Jump

  • If YouTube decides to mangle the original content to fight back… then maybe that’s finally the impetus people will need to switch platforms.

    Switch to where? Everything that's not just a different youtube frontend is either shit or doesn't pay the creators. Federated FOSS sites aren't an option either cause once an influx of users outside the tech bubble happens, the server capacity will hit ground bottom.
