  • MOS Is a New Open-Source Server OS Aimed at Homelabs and Self-Hosting

    Jump

  • It's built on top of Devuan which is a fork of Debian which uses Linux.

    Apparently Devuan is "Debian without systemd". 🤡🤡🤡

    I would stay away! systemd provides so many well-designed APIs that are helpful for server management.

    Also most projects that promote not using systemd are weird ideologues at this point.

  • Windows Notepad App Remote Code Execution Vulnerability

    Jump

  • hilarious

    or maybe it was just a backdoor that the wrong person noticed

    The 3 people who reported it are: Cristian Papa, Romanian in Romania, Alasdair Gorniak, slav (?) in the UK, Chen, Chinese person, https://x.com/chen9918b/status/2015688020356407548, "Chinese history and culture enthusiasts & market analysis"

    its so over for the Amerikkkans. Can't even install remote code execution backdoors in peace.

  • Vercel's CEO offers to cover expenses of 'Jmail' as it has become the number 1 site for tracking the Epstein files

    Jump

  • yeah the dude is definitely doing it mostly for advertising purposes for his company (and personal reputation).

  • yeah I feel like taking free money from this guy or his company is a bad idea for a project's independence. It's bad enough that they've been hosting it on this guy's cloud service.

    You can't accept anything for free without compromising it. That's how the entire NGO world works.

  • As Feb. 7 Approaches, the U.S. Deploys Hard Power to Install a New Puppet Regime and Soft Power to Prepare Elections - Haiti Liberte

    Jump

  • It's so bleak how little money they can spend to influence entire countries.

    The NED is currently funding two programs in Haiti aimed at influencing political parties. It has contributed US$224,873 to its Strengthening Political Party Accountability and Civic Engagement program in addition to US$300 000 to the NDI for its Strengthening New Political Parties program.

    ​While these sums may seem small, in a country as impoverished as Haiti they can have profound effects.

    Of course the article says that isn't all the money involved

    ​In May 2023, author Jake Johnston revealed that “USAID allocated $5 million to support elections in Haiti.” The funds were given to the “Consortium for Elections & Political Process Strengthening,” which is made up of NED tentacles, the IRI and NDI, and the International Foundation for Electoral Systems (IFES).​

  • Waymo turns out to be using remote operators from the Phillipines

    Jump

  • It's such a ridiculously flawed concept to have remote operators. It seems like a way to make the work look better to "investors".

    We already saw Waymos all stopping when the power went out in San Francisco recently (https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c36zdxl41jro). It has no resiliency in the case of any kind of failure whatsoever.

    It's a bad idea to build anything on top of a foundation of things that can be disrupted so quickly. Like power, GPS, cell service and other radio communication. Data centers seem like another big failure point, although I think they still make a lot of sense to have.

    But making your service rely on near-real-time internet access to another country is a whole other level of single point of failure. It's hard enough to make a one-way video feed real-time.

    This obviously isn't a model for replacing all road vehicles with "driverless" ones. It will never happen. You can't remotely operate a 1 ton metal object moving at 20-80 mph.

  • It's interesting how many North Korea YouTube channels have been banned

    Jump

  • I think sometimes they're accused of botting.

    Explore DPRK I believe is North Korean media, there's a webpage that explains what happened https://youtube.fandom.com/wiki/Explore_DPRK "On March 5, 2024, the channel was blocked in South Korea possibly according to the Article 7 (Praise, incitement, etc.) of the National Security Act and Article 44-7 of the Act on Promotion of Information and Communications Network Utilization and Information Protection[1][2][3]; the channel was globally terminated by Google minutes later due to "compliance with export and sanctions policy" with the decision not appealable."

    Jump

  • I wish people would just run blogs (with videos if desired) on their own websites (with an RSS feed). But that is much harder to monetize. People make videos and put them on YouTube because you can make a lot more money off of video ads. But anyone not focused on monetization via video ads should probably not be relying on YouTube.

  • I just re-set-up Pipeline in Linux. I'll probably still end up using the YouTube website since it's more convenient still. Pipeline imports your subscriptions feed and displays a grid like the official UI, but it doesn't currently support having multiple tabs or windows open.

  • If you click the tweet link the third post says

    but you can basically get that from the first post as well.

  • I think storage is still pretty expensive. It's cheaper than it used to be, but hosting unlimited hours of video indefinitely is not cheap. Especially if it isn't done by someone that owns the disks themselves (paying for cloud storage), and colocation is a pretty hurdle that I can't imagine being done as a non-profit.
