That there is no perfect defense. There is no protection. Being alive means being exposed; it’s the nature of life to be hazardous—it’s the stuff of living.


I thought this was single extension publicly named as ShadyPanada

I like 1998 and 2000 icons the most. 2000 in particular is so stylish.


I get the concept of these tools, but why do you need a link/copy of the output? Why is a copy even saved (and is publicly accessible via kindergarten level deduction?)?
Wouldn’t your just paste the processed code back into your local/company code repository/servers?


I got hit by a similar exploit for WinRAR, it was a very sneaky XMR miner that took over mg whole system and would push the CPU to the max or mine XMR.
I was only able to get rid of it via safe made and luck (I was able to find a removal tool via a non-english forum, I suspect they dlacoid targeting US and EU).


This what I was trying to setup when I first started (with Nginx, domain and free tier version of Google Cloud). I wasn’t able to get it all running with Nginx and HTTPS.


I am relatively sophisticated on LAN/local services (been running Raspberry Pi since 2018 or so), I was never able to setup a reverse proxy to get a true self-hosted system (i.e. remote access); got roadblocked by nginx and setting up letsencrypt with reverse proxy support.
In general, true remote access is IMO exponentially more difficult and demanding than getting things running on your local network.
For anyone starting out with self-hosting, I would strongly recommend LAN/local services where you can relatively easily deploy multiple very useful and powerful services (SMB/NAS, Jellyfin, Pi-hole, Qbittorrent-Nox).
I would suggest looking into DietPi, it’s IMO the best RaspberryPi/SBC distribution there is if you want things to just work and not bug you. Very helpful developers and community too. Excellent, user friendly CLI management tools for headless operation.


For that kind of money, I would expect the SSD drive to be able to provide some other qualities beyond technical things like capacity/bandwidth/latency.
Some very good qualities.


Yes, I am in Europe.
I actually had a Nokia N9 back in the day until I lost it.
Jolla is on my watchlist.


I suspect I will keep my old phone for banking/e-government/work apps.


I really hope there will be some solid development on Linux phones in the coming year.
I will have to drop Android once it’s not possible to use F-Droid. This is a red a line for me. In a way it’s a good thing, it will help with my goal of dropping Americans services/products.


Anyone else have problem with updating calibre on Windows?
Every time I run the installer (even with admin rights), the installer (for the latest version) fails with a cryptic code.
This is so annoying.


I don’t do software development, but I am enough of a nerd to know what python.
Good on them. The American far-right (and it’s proxies) need to be shown that they are compromised individuals that lack integrity.
AV1 content is rather rare and encoding even 1080p content (from BD) is pretty slow unless you have a 9985WX Threadripper Pro (which costs over $11 K retail where I live).
And AV1 client support (HW decode) is lacking compared to HEVC/x265.


Don’t know which country you live in but $160 for a 14 TB HDD is a good price. It’s been a while since I lived in North America, but from memory this is a good price for US/Canada.
One general tip for saving space is to get x265/HEVC content, as it tends to be most space efficient on both an absolute and a “quality per GB basis” (some caveats of course, but I digress). That being said you may want to make sure all your clients support x265 (I prefer to simply never have to transcode and have all clients support Xvid/x264/x265 and all major audio formats).


It is possible to address this, but it would require implementation of anti-corruption, criminal and judicial reform in the US and not only.
And a conservative analysis suggests that such reforms are unlikely in the US the next ~20 years if not more.


Wonder why their telegram chat/community was banned.


For a second I thought this was a corporate bittorrent client or something similar.


I never knew pet insurance existed, although I guess it makes considering how my American friend complain about the cost of veterinary services.


Russian roach will be launching an EUV based process (even though China is struggling)!
How well does this work for W10?
Some of the mods explicitly mention supporting only W11, does that mean others are tested/usable on W10?
