  • There isn’t really another choice: Signal chief explains why the encrypted messenger relies on AWS

    Jump

  • Nevermimd that signal's centralisation makes it vulnerable to this kind of outage, and that was a conscious design decision. So nobody should be surprise this has happened.

  • For fuck's sake, why can't we have nice things?

  • Qualcomm buys Arduino, releases new Raspberry Pi-esque Arduino board

  • I give them less than a year to turn sour and start "pivoting to a new strategy"

  • Microsoft insists Copilot+ PCs are 'empowering the future'

    Jump

  • To be exact, they are empowering Microsoft future. This is because of the absolute insane amount of money they are pumping into LLMs while still not finding a business case for them.

    Simplify home hardware for selfhosting

  • I know, yes. But I'm talking about virtualization, not containerizarion

  • Removed

    Simplify home hardware for selfhosting

    Jump

  • Personally, I want to properly isolate the services with virtualization. The main reason is I expose some of the services online, and I don't t want to only rely on keeping all software up-to-date at all times. This allows me to limit the damage if one of the services is compromised.

    I wouldn't use MacOS as the virtualization platform, and instead use something else, like BSD, Linux, or xen-based for my servers

  • Google to require developer verification to install and sideload Android apps

    Jump

  • Sounds like my next phone won't use Android then, and I'll tell everybody to avoid it. If only Linux mobile was in a hood place :(

  • Microsoft's latest Windows 11 24H2 update breaks SSDs/HDDs, may corrupt data

    Jump

  • Sorry, I made a typo, I meant drives, not drivers.

    Firmware is software embedded in the SSDs, and Windows has no control over them. Microsoft can't fix this and the SSD manufacturers here are at fault.

    Do note that I escaped Windows in 2017, and wouldn't like to go back to it because of how nauseatingly user-hostile it is.

    Jump

  • Eh... Reading the article it's clear what's causing this are faulty SSD drives. Windows might stress their crappy firmware, but the fault lies on the hardware.

  • Nothing Phone (3) will have 7 years of software support

    Jump

  • Isn't that the bare minimum mandated by the EU?

  • Ori studio in crisis: No Rest For The Wicked could be their final game

    Jump

  • It didn't get review-bombed. It got negative reviews after the last update because people don't like it.

    Personally I bought it and don't like it: it's an awkward mix between diablo-likes and souls-like, while not reaching the heights of either, it also has its own unresolved issues, like lack of descriptions for weapons or abilities. This might have been fine on the first release of the early access, but we're almost a year in and people expect initial 8ssues to be fixed.

  • Synology Lost the Plot with Hard Drive Locking Move - ServeTheHome

    Jump

  • Performance comparison between various Hypervisors

    Jump

  • Xcp-ng might have the edge against bare metal because Windows uses virtualization by default uses Virtualization-Based Security (VBS). Under xcp-ng it can't use that since nested virtualization can't be enabled.

    Disclaimer: I'm a maintainer of the control plane used by xcp-ng

  • Italy to require VPN and DNS providers to block pirated content

    Jump

  • But the individual network packets are usually at most 1500 byes long, and applications encrypt the content. Hashing doesn't prevent jack squat. It's more likely to be DNS + IP blocks
