  • I like both, but usually prefer Ubuntu

    Jump

  • I don’t mind Ubuntu server, though you’re right you need to clean it up a bit by uninstalling snap and killing the login ad of managed k8s, the LTS versions have been quite consistently easy to deal with and stable, but then again so has Debian.

  • By making him sound like an insane conspiracy theorist instead? Nah. He could have given a plausible answer like “it wasn’t going far enough” which would have been sufficient.

  • My wife has an iPhone. I have a Samsung S23. Why do videos she texts me look like super low res shit?? Can iPhones not text videos?

  • I’m also the signal guy amongst my friends and family. There are dozens of us!

  • Would you buy "self-hosted in a box" hardware?

    Jump

  • I think a possibility is a series of open source anvil or nixos scripts that you can run on most hardware with minimal changes, in an extendable architecture of some kind to add or remove functionality and they perhaps get maintained by the community or some structure of the kind of Linux distributions.

    This could enable people with minimal skills set up and maintain a reasonably useful but secure environment just by changing a few variables.

  • In which case how does a community of that scale operate without a rule enforcement arm?

    Will there be environmental laws? Traffic laws? Food safety? Defence? Adjudication of differences?

    How does it work?

    Will someone be issuing driving licenses based on competence? Who’s going to check if I don’t have one?

    If I don’t have the sense to drive properly or secure a dangerous load, or I drive drunk or I keep running people over or running red lights who is going to stop me?

    If I assault or murder someone is it vendetta rules? What if someone accuses me of that but I haven’t done it - who figures out what happened? Are there investigators? Who’s going to stop me? Or defend me?

  • I’m not sure there will ever be a society that doesn’t require adjustment.

    Anarchocommunism - I see. In my mind seems like a theoretical construct, a temporary situation that would quickly shift to something else either by internal or external forces, a construct similar to libertarianism.

    And indeed historically this has been the case.

    This “small communities” construct is also pretty unhealthy if you ever had any experience in small communities as I have.

    Your neighbours are your oppressors and you theirs.

    Societal norms of dress, sexual preference and everything else, are enforced by societal shame, isolation, expulsion and occasional beatings in extreme cases. The rumour mill would whip up neighbours into all kinds of idiocy. They know everything about you and you about them.

    Anyone that has lived the village life that had any sense couldn’t get out of there fast enough and into the anonymity of a large city where the people didn’t police each other but if needed was the protection of an independent and dispassionate (from interpersonal animus) arbiter that mostly left them alone.

  • I mean, I think there are, most Nordics for one.

    Whether US police is a uniquely thuggish corrupt arm of the moneyed establishment or not, is a different question.

    But the way you are phrasing it I think you are skirting with the idea of anarchy as a (non) system of governance so the primary question here is if you think there is a need for any rules at all.

    And if there is, how are they agreed upon, adjudicated and enforced in societies larger than a village.

  • They’d support it quietly like they’ve done for many things in the past. You’d and 99% of the voting public would never hear about it unless you’re glued to the docket of the senate and the house.

  • Founder and CEO of Telegram messaging service arrested in France

  • What if telegram refuses to cooperate with law enforcement in a timely fashion to provide details of the people sharing that material? What should law enforcement do then?

  • Unlike other chat services Telegram has a “social” aspect and search capabilities for locating public discussion channels.

    Furthermore E2EE is optional and most people don’t turn it on and is certainly not on in public channels.

    While techies are freaking out about an attack on encryption the articles I’ve read so far don’t mention anything about encryption or otherwise it seems that French police is concerned about moderation or attempts at moderation of those public channels, that Telegram specifically refuses to moderate.

    Perhaps this will be an attack on encryption by stealth but at this point that’s not what it looks like.

    As a personal anecdote when I installed Telegram a few years ago and searched for my city’s name the top 20 results where channels offering to sell you heroin - which I thought was so blatant as to be certain it was police sting operations - but who knows.

  • You’re right of course it’s racism, he knows his audience. But his schoolyard bully tactics always make fun of the unfamiliar, perhaps you mean Anglo sounding?

    Because I’m pretty sure he would make fun of his own family name (Drumpf) if it belonged to an opponent. And I can’t imagine it would be any better if they were named Nieminen (Finish) or Svobodova (Czech) or Nikolakopoulos (Greek) etc. Same with first names.

  • Just kind of makes sense no?

  • The vast majority of the benefit comes from the fact that they are bifacial not vertical.

    In fact depending on the weather a standard mount but with bifacial panels will outperform the vertical.

    This guy here does a very thorough comparison.

  • See how much an exploit for iPhone vs Android will run you in the open market.

    Also how fast a discovered security hole will be patched and distributed to the fleet between the two systems.

    Most Android phones will never get a patch, some will get it 6 - 12 months later and very few within the month.

    Also one is run by an advertising company.

  • What's the dumbest blockbuster movie you have seen that somehow received high praise?

  • Black Panther.

    It had so much hype in the media, i was so excited to watch it. It turned out to be rather boring and forgettable.
