  • Why Your VPN May Not Be As Secure As It Claims

    Jump

  • I think that mitigation requires two things for it to work.

    1. You need to use a a Type 2 hypervisor (like Virtualbox, VMware Workstation/Fusion).
    2. That VM needs to be configured in NAT mode.

    The two primary ways you can configure a network for a local virtual machine are NAT and Bridged.

    Bridged mode places your VM effectively on the same network as your host OS, meaning that any DHCP server that exists on your network (rogue or otherwise) will give your virtual machine and IP.

    In NAT mode, the virtualization platform itself includes a DHCP server to dole out IPs, and handle the routing between your virtual machine and your host OS's network.

    The thought process is that if you trust your laptop, the DHCP address handed out for NAT mode will not have the VPN breaking DHCP option and your VPN inside the VM will not have it's route table screwed with.

  • Ron DeSantis bans 'global elite' lab-grown meat

    Jump

  • I think that's the point of lab grown meat. If you can harvest the stem cells of a living animal and use those to grow full sides of beef (I'm vastly oversimplifying the process), then no animals have been killed.

    Bonus, emissions may be lower depending when comparing typical animal emissions vs the facility that produces the LGM.

  • Tractor-trailers with no one aboard? The future is near for self-driving trucks on US roads

    Jump

  • Oh you sweet summer child. There is zero chance that the cost savings will be passed on to consumers. In fact, I'll bet prices go up after an initial plateau.

    At first, profits will rise due to the lack of $30/hr costs - and shareholders will celebrate the innovation.

    Then when the migration to self-driving semis is complete and that profit levels out, shareholders will be pissed that the profits don't continue to rise - so prices will rise again.

    Substack Competitor Ghost Announces ActivityPub Integration

    Jump

  • Adding to the Nazi comment - substack is basically a long form blog format, very similar (AFAICT) to Medium.

  • It's anonymous bulk text posting - great for sharing logs, but don't discount the more grey side of the internet. If you browse recent public posts there's often some fun things like scam links, credentials, etc.

    It's definitely fallen out of favor for password dumps though.

  • I use skyline in our environment and man, that log collection is crutch for getting tickets updated. Oh, you need the logs? Request what you need and I'll approve it - or I can just click a few buttons and upload the logs when I create the ticket.

  • Microsoft is silently installing Copilot onto Windows Server 2022

    Jump

  • Are you looking for a Windows, server, replacement or desktop replacement? Your experience will differ depending on which one you're trying to replace.

    For instance, if you're trying to replace Windows active directory services with a single Linux server, might have a bad time. I'm in the process of migrating from AD to FreeIPA, PowerDNS, and isc-dhcp (or something similar for DHCP).

  • "My team will get to the bottom of how this clandestine network of clinics has subjected children to puberty blockers and irreversible surgery, often without parental consent,” he wrote in a statement.

    Ffs, he makes it sound like toddlers are getting snatched off the streets to get "trans'ed".

    Give me one fucking case anywhere in this state where a minor was given surgery without parental consent. Go ahead, I'll wait.

  • True, but you can (for now) buy a smart TV and never hook it up to the Internet/use the smart functions.

    I have a little Linux micropc hanging off my "smart" LG TV - the TV is effectively a 52" monitor.

  • Fun fact (that I just took advantage of in a CTF), sudo can also limit command line arguments. If you only want a user to restart a service but not stop it, you can restrict sudo to only 

     
        
systemctl restart mysvc.service

  • Meta just showed off Threads’ fediverse integration for the very first time

    Jump

  • I agree, but it's a hard pill to swallow that Meta is the best partner to grow the fediverse. There are real lessons to learn from Embrace, Extend, Extinguish (look at XMPP and Google), not to mention privacy concerns and content moderation issues that seem to be a "feature" for Meta products vs bugs.

    I'm not sure what Zuck is up to, but for whatever it's worth I think the best think the fediverse can do is be somewhat reactive to Meta's movements.

    If instances start getting overwhelmed with content, then block.

    If Meta starts showing signs of EEE, then instances can block.

    And us users can move to instances that we feel match our personal stances on things - hate Facebook like the plague? Look at one of the defederated/blocking instances. Do you miss interacting with a larger audience? Stay on instances that are embracing (or withholding judgment) the Meta federation.

    It's a complex topic to be sure, and the only way we'll know the right way to deal with it is with the benefit of hindsight in a few years

  • Not the OP, but Eternal September references the massive culture impact on Usenet when ISPs started lowering the barrier to joining the then somewhat exclusive forum-esque part of the internet.

  • After 114 days of change, Broadcom CEO acknowledges VMware-related “unease”

    Jump

  • At this point virtualization is legacy technology.

    Man, I'd love to believe that - and please Lemmy, prove me wrong, but virtualization, especially commercial products like VMware have one huge advantage over things like kubernetes - it's effectively plug and play and has full support available.

    1. Boot off this esxi iso
    2. Deploy this VCSA OVA
    3. Have vCenter auto config VSAN
    4. Deploy fully ha/Drs managed VMs

    I would kill for a similar experience with kubes - something that I cannot for the life of me get to work in my homelab given the myriad of walkthrough in various states of accuracy.

  • Trap happy

    Jump

  • Where an animal is camera trap shy or camera trap happy, detection probability is compromised and the assumptions of the method cannot be met. Even the study of animal behavior can be compromised if an animal exhibits atypical behavior (Gibeau and McTavish 2009). Attraction of certain species and individuals to our camera traps would confound assumptions of some other population estimators (Table S2) because the device effectively becomes a lure (Foster and Harmsen 2012).

    I gotchu fam.

    Granted I don't know if it's the same kind of trap happy, but at least it's a phrase in one research paper.
