  • Is it reasonable to be concerned about security issues when switching to Linux?

    Jump

  • I'm closer to the average user than someone who has built a fortress. I use Firefox with ublock, ghostery, and privacy badger. I use the free tier of proton vpn. I run avast daily and malwarebytes weekly.

    I think that I should already be close to best practices but I'm not sure how changing OS will affect that. I'm not really worried about being targeted for anything. I don't think that I really do much risky beyond the occasional torrent or downloading a patch for a game. I get games primarily from gog, don't open strange emails or click strange links, and use a password manager to generate secure passwords. One of the things that I'm most unsure about is keeping everything updated. Microsoft manages keeping everything updated for the most part on Windows and the last time I needed to find a driver anywhere except from Microsoft it came on a 3.5" floppy.

    I use my computer primarily for single player gaming, discord, and fediverse sites. I need a spreadsheet and word processer, I use open office for that right now. I do financial and work related things on a different device.

  • Darth Plagueis was alive up until Palpatine was named Chancellor. Darth Maul was a match for Jedi Masters. Darth Tyranus was a very accomplished duelist even before becoming a sith. So I would say it was through training/sparring with his master and apprentices as well as the use things like training droids.

  • Not my most controversial take. Mace Windu never had a chance against Palpatine. Palpatine let Windu take an advantageous position in the fight as his final ploy to turn Anakin. I offer three points as evidence for this.

    First, Windu went to Palpatine's office with three other Jedi masters, all of whom were members of the council, to arrest Palpatine. Despite having four of the most powerful Jedi, knowing that Palpatine was a dangerous Sith Lord, and having every opportunity to choose the place, time, and manner of the confrontation two of the four Jedi were dead before Windu even got his lightsaber activated and a third died almost immediately after.

    Second, Windu got the upper hand just as Anakin arrived in the office. Palpatine appears to be a weakened pitiful old man as Windu turns his force lightening back on him and then decides to execute him instead of arresting him but as soon as Anakin attacks Windu formalizing his turn to the dark side Palpatine is on his feet and both his force lightening and his trademark cackle are at full force.

    Third, despite his supposed grievous injuries, a day after the duel with Windu Palpatine fought Yoda to a stalemate.

  • Luke's 23 in Return of the Jedi when he defeats the combined power of Darth Vader and Emperor Palpatine to not only resist turning to the dark side himself but also redeem Anakin turning him back to the light side of the force. Luke's the real strongest Jedi even with his truncated training.

  • Movies confirm that Anakin is roughly equal in power to Obi-Wan and Yoda is roughly equal in power to Palpatine. Anakin is the chosen one and the prophecy that he would bring balance to the force was fulfilled at the end of Episode 3 when those were the only four left.

  • In 2024 a reporter asked Jordan if his 90s Bulls team could beat LeBron's Lakers and Jordan answered that they could but only by a slim margin. When the reporter followed up by asking why it would be so close Jordan explained that most of the 90s Bulls team are in their sixties and have slowed down a bit.

  • Trump advisers scramble to justify US military intervention in Iran

    Jump

  • If the US invades Iran are we taking bets on whether or not Israel gets nuked? They may not have the ability to produce a nuclear arsenal but I bet Iran has at least a rudimentary device that could be used in a suicide attack.

  • The Boy Scouts is basically a feeder organization for the US military and the DoD has financially supported the organization and given them special access to military events and resources for decades.

  • Given the same methodology (search algorithm) a larger sample size gives a truer picture of what that methodology favors. If the methodology isn't neutral or doesn't bias in the same way as your desired outcome then a smaller sample size analyzed by a different methodology may provide better results.

  • Realistcly how much can be cleaned out of a house, as a child of a hourder?

    Jump

  • I think that you're looking at it from the wrong angle. You're looking at the forest and in this case it's the trees that you should focus on. If there's no rotting food or other health and safety issues then the only time pressure is your own comfort and anxiety. Deal with that kind of pressure by breaking the task down into manageable chunks and prioritize.

    How much can you do in a week? Would one room a week would be manageable? More? Less? How much you can do at a time is the lesser of how much time and energy you can put into the work and how much you can take away or have taken away in the given time period. Maybe you just work until the garbage can is full and then start again after trash day. Maybe you don't fill the garage can but between cleaning, organizing, and selling stuff on eBay/Nextdoor/etc you use up as much time and energy as you can devote to this task in this time period. As long as more is going out than is coming in during any given time period you're making progress.

    Start with the areas that will make the most difference to you. Probably your bedroom, the bathroom that you use most often, kitchen, living room. Looking at it as one task, cleaning and organizing a whole house is an overwhelming task so don't look at it as one task. Tackle the forest by dealing with one tree at a time.

  • There are already lawsuits filed for refunds of tariff payments. Of course the money will go to the companies that made the payments. All of us who actually paid them by paying more for basically every consumer good are out of luck.

  • There was a post from one of the admins saying that the other admin was the only person with server access and has gone mia. Apparently one admin did setup and rented the sever space to host and the other was responsible for day to day maintenance. They didn't know why the admin with server access had stopped responding to their messages.

  • The answer to the ICE thug asking if someone is a man should be "Are you? The way you're acting you seem like a little boy playing at being a man." "Real men don't attack vulnerable people. Real men stand up for their community."

    They misgender intentionally as an insult because they have a conservative concept of gender. Give the evaluation back to them based on the best version of their flawed concept.

  • I fixed both upper and lower GI problems by changing my diet to get at least forty grams of fiber a day. It's crazy how much difference it made. Lentils, edamame, other beans, steamed or sauteed veggies, whole grains. If you want convenience foods then keto or carb smart.
