    Anonymous Releases 10TB of Leaked Data: Exposing Kremlin Assets & Russian Businesses!

    Jump

  • I downloaded this and poked through it; I don't know that it's as juicy as you'd think. It's a lot of information about vulnerabilities that could be used to further infiltrate these institutions, and in a lot of cases (famous people's twitters or instragrams) it's just a cursory web scan of headers returned.

    Live Updates on the Global Market: China raises its retaliatory tariff on the US to 84% effective April 10

  • Can there be some form of exception, maybe prefixing the title with "Live Update:" and it affords some grace to changing titles?

  • Capitalism and socialism are a pendulum, acting as a response to each other and the exploitation of the flaws in the system. The real enemy is authoritarianism which defends whichever system is in power at the time.

  • Parents turn to smartwatches for their children amid global phone screen-time pushback

    Jump

  • We do this, 2 timex family family connect watches, the older green ones off eBay. It's perfect and it opened up the privilege of walking home from school, walking to the park, and walking to friends houses as long as they keep it charged and check in. The newer ones look like an apple watch which I felt made them a theft target but the old ones have changed the family's life. Then, we can ask them to do chores when they get home from school, and if they do, they can ask us to unlock tablet.

  • Asahi Linux Lead Developer Hector Martin Steps Down As Upstream Apple Silicon Maintainer

  • What the actual fuck are you on about? This is a technical argument about whether rust should be allowed innthe Linux kernel and the impact of that decision on devs, you absolute troglodyte.

  • This is not gonna happen. They're an extension of Falun Gong, who runs the Epoch Media Group which pushes the Epoch Times, a far-right paper in the US which worked very hard to curry favor with Trump, meaning you are immune to regulation or prosecution.

  • Trump tariffs on Canada, Mexico and China begin Saturday, White House says

  • You know, I like the way this is going. The last 2 republican disasters that democrats had to dig us out of (the 2007 financial collapse when I entered the workforce, and the 2020 covid pandemic when my kids were entering school) really had long slow dramatic burns which were unpleasant gradual declines. If he makes it bad enough fast enough, the reaction will be nice an swift so we can begin formulating a rebuilding plan earlier, even if that plan has to look like settlement building in fallout 4.

  • Are you learning networking? You're entering the world of vlans. In the networking OSI model, Layer 3 is where you're dipping your toes.

    I'm gonna try to over-simplify this, but each network has a gateway, which is a layer 3 device that helps a local network talk to other networks, either in the house or on the internet. That doesn't have to be a physical device, it can be a virtual network device on your bigger layer 3 device. Most residential network gear won't understand this. When you get into vlans, it's like having multiple separate networks on the same devices; if you have "vlan 10" and "vlan 20"; devices on vlan 10 cannot see devices on vlan 20, even if they're connected to the same switch. This is done by "tagging" ports, which is where you specify what network each port is on. You can also have a port with multiple vlans on it, which is called a "trunk", but for this to work the network traffic has to carry a tag specifying what vlan each packet belongs to (though each trunk also has a "native" port, think of it like a default vlan if a packet isn't tagged). The verbage changes based on the vendor, but that's the idea.

    In the actual world, here's how that works. Ports with devices on the other end with multiple devices/networks on them (access points, switches, firewalls) usually are trunks, then end client ports (your computer, a printer) are "access" ports. You would apply a single vlan to access ports, or make it an "untagged" port, whereas you "tag" multiple vlans on trunk ports. The networking devices will make most of that happen.

    So how can you shape the traffic between them? Your firewall/gateway/layer3 device. The easiest entrypoint into this is get a small computer (1L PC which you can get nearly as ewaste, having multiple network ports is good) and installing opnsense on it. It's free and good for learning, and I use it in prod today. The opnsense box, let's say, has 1 physical nic, then you create a virtual vlan interface on vlan 10 and 20. That becomes your "default gateway" on all client devices on the respective networks. All traffic leaving the networks go through this device (so faster network ports is better) and that is why firewall rules get to allow/block ports, IP's, endpoints, etc. Your port forwards to the internet happen here as well. You can make a firewall rule to say your other network allows passing traffic to the original network on port 53 to the pihole, for example, so dns servers on a different "lan" can still be used.

    This is a complicated subject, but getting some gear on ebay (a "managed switch") is a great way to learn. For example, I have an access point with a management interface on my "mgmt" vlan (99, number is arbitrary), then I have 2 ssid's, one for IoT stuff (vlan 5) and one for my devices (vlan 4). The port going to the access point on the switch is native vlan 99 but tagged to allow traffic with packets tagged with vlan 4 or vlan 5, and the access point tags the traffic based on which SSID the client connects to, the client doesn't care.

  • Trump says military 'turned on the water' in California. State officials say that's false.

    Jump

  • Man pushing the narrative that Trump sent the military into a liberal state to fix things with positive results is surely not a precursor to anything sinister...

  • Axiom Space pitches idea to produce chipmaking materials in space, plans trials aboard ISS

    Jump

  • This seems like an insane idea, cosmic radiation causes so many measurable impacts even on earth with things like bit flips, this would be a huge issue in space with no magnetic field and atmosphere. I would think this would focus on low density slower speed chips, and likely avoid anything with flash storage.

  • Experimental Linux Address Space Isolation "ASI" v2 Patches: I/O Throughput Lower By 70%

  • Seems like it still in development, they have improvements in mind to reduce unnecessary system calls, and at this time you would only run these patches if memory safety was ago critical you didn't care about IO performance, which is niche.

  • Apple, Google, and Samsung will accept Matter certification for their own Works With programs

    Jump

  • Anything that gets us closer to mattercast. If we can have one interop standard to be able to cast to devices, whether it be a kodi box running the casting server, a smart speaker running Home Assistant's voice, or a google/amazon device, one open standard to rule them all is the world we need to get to.

  • Which Linux tool or command is surprisingly simple, powerful, and yet underrated?"

    Jump

  • I know everyone likes tmux but screen is phenomenal. I have a .screenrc I deploy everywhere with a statusbar at the bottom, a set number of pre-defined tabs, and logging to a directory (which is cleaned up after 30 days) so I can go back and figure out what I did. Great tool.

  • California Gov. Gavin Newsom declares state of emergency over bird flu, calling it a "proactive action"

    Jump

  • I don't think the impacts of this are being fully realized yet...like the stores here (Sacramento) are low on eggs, the zoos have taken the birds off exhibit, and I live next to a large wildlife preserve that's a huge bird migration path and they just like haven't been there this year. Those giant starling clouds were an annual thing for a week or so and they just didn't happen this year. It really feels like there's a LOT less small birds; the big herons and stuff are still visible, but like walking the preserve is noticeably quieter.

  • Marjorie Taylor Greene threatens to beat up Sarah McBride on day before Trans Day of Remembrance

    Jump

  • This is a threat without any risk to MTG. If she does it and beats McBride up, she'll be a hero to her base and will get pardoned if she catches a charge. If she does it and McBride fights back, her narrative will become "violent trans people" and "a man dressing as a woman beat up a congressperson." Saying things like this are 100% wins to the psychopath party and their base, and I'm ashamed to share this country with them.

  • It's probably more than you are looking for but if you are already looking at self hosting things connected with NextCloud, use NextCloud Talk. We use it for the family and it is great.
