Bit-breaker working in cybersecurity/IT. Only languages I know are English and Programming ones.

Sometimes I write things about technology.

If I told you the SHA256 for this sentence starts with 'c, 5, four, a, and a', would you believe me?

  • Microsoft admits it would have to let Trump spy on EU data if demanded

    Jump

  • Oh great, just gave Trump information for something he didn't know he could do. Now, he will do it.

  • French President Macron says France will recognize Palestine as a state

    Jump

  • France does have a history of such. Good for them.

  • It's the 10th anniversary of my father-in-law passing.

  • Where/How are you trying to upload it? On a post? on a comment? I don't see any recent attempts in our logs for you trying to upload a picture.

  • It's the 10th anniversary of my father-in-law passing.

    Jump

  • Thanks. I'll look at the error messages returned and see where that pops up at. For now, I'd suggest you try to use a smaller size image; both a smaller resolution and a smaller data size.

  • Can you share the errors you're getting with me please?

  • US demands allies' plans in event of Taiwan war erupting

    Jump

  • Why would allies share their plans with an entity that has zero opsec, is probably hacked at the signal intelligence level, let alone with Russian puppet circus that is the US government?

    Hard pass.

  • Yes.

  • Elon Musk’s ‘America’ party could focus on a few pivotal congressional seats

    Jump

  • Great. More money in politics. Just what we needed, sycophants to Musk.

  • Beehaw has a huge surplus of money. Could we use it to fund another service?

    Jump

  • Keep it stashed.

  • Another reason to love Linux

    Jump

  • So change the shebang to explicitly reference the venv python.

  • Another reason to love Linux

    Jump

  • Solved problem. Python virtual environments. Or install another python version with your package manager and make sure the python script calls it in the shebang instead of a generic /usr/bin/env python.

  • What is your most useful Linux app which others might not know about (please don't just give the name but a link and why it is good for you) ?

    Jump

  • I think that is a signal limitation not a flameshot one.

  • Clarifying Costs of Running the Fediverse with Jerry from Infosec.Exchange

    Jump

  • Yeah, Beehaw doesn't have anywhere near that MAU, but I cannot fathom how it is costing him $5k a month to run a few instances, a few of which have many less MAU.

  • What operating system and app store do you use to browser Lemmy

    Jump

  • Elinks

  • Which distro does Linus Torvalds use?

    Jump

  • uses a version of Ubuntu's modified kernel, with the non-free code (binary blobs) removed.[8

    Why not just Debian without non-free, at that point?

  • how's your week going, Beehaw

    Jump

  • Dude awesome job!

  • This whole post is that. Just because someone disagrees with you (other post) doesn't require a doubling down and an additional post of why you are right.

  • Re read the screenshot you posted of the technology community.

    Then ask yourself if your personal grievances and opinion about other people fits the premis. You're okay to talk about technology and give your opinion on it. But posting like this, just to air your problems, isn't fit.

  • Questions about Usenet

    Jump

  • Usenet is not the WWW. It operates on a different protocol and methods. It's not over HTTP(s) like this or standard web sites. Thus, your typical web user won't even ever see or notice anything on or about usenet. This is why you would need a usenet provider or access. You cannot access usenet with a web browser. One notable difference between the web and Usenet is the absence of a central server and dedicated administrator. Usenet is distributed among a large, constantly changing conglomeration of servers that store and forward messages to one another in so-called news feeds. Individual users may read messages from and post messages to a local servers.

    Usenet is literally just a collection of text files on various servers or locations. There really isn't an index builtin or a way to just 'click to the next page'. This is why you need an indexer. An indexer crawls and scrapes usenet headers to allow searching and finding of specific content or posts. It automatically builds releases and indexes them like google indexes the internet.

    When someone uploads files to usenet, it's just text. Very large files such as videos, aren't easily represented as text and don't "fit" in one post. It is spread over many different posts, sometimes hundreds. In text format. You could find all those posts, combine the text, and end up with an actual video or music file. But that file doesn't "exist" on usenet as a specific, single, item. Indexers find all posts associated with something you may be searching for, and other news reader software (like NZBGet or SABNZB) combine all those text files into one, giving you the file you actually expect after downloading all the different posts/parts.

    Using a VPN account with usenet is beneficial, but not required. It is ideal to have access to multiple different indexers to find the posts you want.
