  • That's the beauty of it! You can't! AI can't commit malpractice, because you have to prove professional negligence! /s

  • Ventoy my beloved.

  • The advantage of Ventoy is its ability to work in any environment and handle 99% of ISOs. Compiling the binaries at build time requires a mature development environment to be able to build these utilities.... Your exponentially increasing the size and complexity of the project to solve a relatively minor security issue.

    Ventoy is not the only way to create a bootable drive... If you don't trust the blobs then don't run the software.

    Forking ventoy to add the complexity of building these utilities is only going to be available for *nix base environments so Windows users are pretty much shit out of luck. Your exponentially increasing the size of the project, it's complexity, and simultaneously significantly narrowing its usability....

    I said it before and I'll say it again it's such a bad fucking argument. It's not mature software. It's a literal confluence of hacks... And if you're not comfortable with using it then don't use it. It really is a huge security risk. But advocating that nobody use it is such stupid fucking thing.

    Advocate that people understand the risks of using it but to just run around and scream about how nobody should be using it for any reason whatsoever until the maintainer closes the security hole that makes it run is pretty stupid.

  • Well, that's the plan.

  • This has always been the key. Amazing to me that not many seem to take it seriously.

  • There's no way to emote it, but you know when those old Italian ladies spit at people to keep the evil away from themselves? I just did that in your general direction...

  • Is Google deliberately crippling my phone...

    Jump

  • I still use my 3a XL without issue. This is very likely a usage issue, settings issue or even a hardware issue. It's not a software issue.

    Clear your application cache. If that still doesn't work, try uninstalling Google Chat, then re-install it. If it's built in, uninstall the updates, and then re-update. This resets all the notification settings.

  • No. But the argument itself is so stupid to me.

    Ventoy has never been a secure tool. People are making the argument that it should be, which is just nutty.

    If you're one of those people that grab random fuckin' ISO's from all over the internet to test em out, then no. You really shouldn't use Ventoy. If you run official ISO from recognized sources, then realistically the risk is ever present, but minimal.

    Like getting in a wreck on the way to the store to pick up milk. It's always a possibility, but not many people would stand around and make the argument that you should stay home forever because you might get into an accident, which is basically the argument against Ventoy. It's "we'll, it's a crazy useful tool, but you shouldn't use it because something might happen."

    It's just such a bad argument. Fact of the matter is, is that if there were a non-hacky as shit way to do what Ventoy does, it would be available right now. But it's not... Because it's really not.

    The only way to avoid the issues that Ventoy employs is to not use ISOs and use something like netboot.xyz, which presents its own set of issues. How do you know you're not being MITM from the iPXE environment? Like, sure. You can technically verify it, but how do you know for sure on the fly?

    Like, if you sit down you can pick apart any software for being an insufferable gaping asshole of security vulnerabilities.

  • Trump Tells NBC He ‘Couldn’t Care Less’ About Higher Auto Prices

  • No, because the dollar is about to go the same way as the Pengo. I wonder who they're gonna put on the 100 Quntillion Dollar bill.

  • From RSS to Bookmark Manager – how would you integrate?

    Jump

  • Because it has integrations for The Internet Archive: https://x0.at/Wny_.png

    It says "local html" but I have a feeling it simply grabs a copy from the internet archive. I can't even find where its storing these copies with it enabled.

  • Interesting SSH Authentication Mechanism

    Jump

  • So does requiring all users to phone you ahead of time to get a temporary password that's only alive for 20 minutes.... But that's also not done because it's...stupid.

    There are dozens of tools and methods (like jumpboxes) which facilitate the authorization and usage of currently available and time tested tools for usage with environments without reinventing the wheel. Stepping away from the unix philosophy is heresy of the highest degree.

    It's not a problem with the tool, only the plumber.

  • I think rather you missed something. Not once have I said anything about the value of the dollar being China's responsibility.

    I answered your direct question while ignoring the rest of the bullshit you made up without even pointing out that you pulled it from nowhere and it's stupid. I think I did a pretty good job.

  • Accessability of github for europe

    Jump

  • The same way you do any other project. If you're interested, you go looking. You find my project which has a link to the repo. A link is a link. You're simply fighting over where the link goes to, and I'm pointing out that it's a stupid argument to be had.

  • Accessability of github for europe

    Jump

  • Github is an important resource.

    And there's dozens and dozens of replacements available. The issue you're speaking of isn't an issue with Github at all. It's an issue with developers.

    If Github going off the map borks your development because PROGRAMMERS can't use anything but Github, you have much bigger problems than you think.
