For the last decade I have been using IISCrypto to neuter older and obsolete algorithms. I just apply the most recent PCI profile and restart.
Now granted, this program is unknown to many security professionals I talk to, which is why I mention it here: it works on all NT versions of Windows after Vista. Super-easy to restrict a system to the stronger and more secure algorithms.
Abolish all patents and copyrights, everywhere, except for a creator’s ability to assert “I made this”.
PowerPC performed much better and made design changes that made much more sense long-term.
There were also volume production issues and architecture advancement issues.
Essentially, they couldn’t get volume guarantees and they were at the mercy of a much slower improvement cycle than they would have liked.
PowerPC was absolutely an excellent top-tier processor, and the current Power11 line absolutely smokes anything else out there from either Intel or AMD, at the cost of being 100-200× more expensive. Like, think $30,000 USD for a single entry-level workstation, or $70,000 USD for the high-end one.
Windows 11 refusing to install on hardware it can absolutely run on.
RUFUS is not only a great tool with which to build your USB installer (it has an option to download the correct and latest ISO directly from Microsoft), but in the subsequent steps it also asks if you want to modify the installer in some pretty useful ways. Such as bypassing a Microsoft account in favour of a local account, and neutering some of the more recent requirements. IIRC the TPM 2.0 requirement can still be nerfed.
I’m wondering whether
Europeansthe other 96% of humanity
There, FTFY.
And yes, the other 96% of humanity would very much like to see Imperial measurements die.
Hell, as a Canadian born after 1970, I wouldn’t understand almost all Imperial measurements even if they smacked me clear in the forehead. About the most I have ever used are inches, feet, and pounds, and only because they’ve hung on in tightly-linked-to-America blue-collar industries and (until about a decade ago) grocery stores. I would have zero clue how much a cup or a Florida Ounce is.
This pokes fun at German rule-following, but as a Canadian of German descent (both parents), I can absolutely confirm that this “joke” is likely not a joke at all. Or, at least, it was lifted almost verbatim from observing another German parent.
Doesn’t exactly help when most Android phones more than a year old won’t get these patches for many months or even years – if at all.
Guardrails are only enforceable by the state. Without the state to smash capitalism and enforce guardrails against corruption and the power of greed, capitalism and authoritarianism will always step in to fill the power vacuum.
This is why communism has always failed within a few months to a few years of initiation: lack of guardrails and laws that are effectively enforced against capitalism or authoritarianism. It’s why every “communist” state in history devolved into an authoritarian, anti-communist political structure very, very quickly. Hell, even in Russia communism was effectively dead by 1918.
We are so close to having the technology to implement direct participatory democracy (A.K.A., political communism), where things like presidents and premiers and politicians in general just don’t exist, and only minor functionaries and coordinatinative councils remain to carry out the people’s directives.
What is still needed, however, is a highly educated and literate population that values education, facts, and meritocracy - thereby suffocating conservatism and strangling it to death - and for that population to have an exceedingly tiny level of economic inequality, such that the wealth is returned properly into the hands of the Working Class that created it, and most people can then acquire the mental headspace to focus on more than just daily survival needs (as in, focus on community-level or even nation-level subjects).
A strong state is not necessarily a dangerous one. What makes ours dangerous is that power is concentrated at the top, with those who have money (capitalists) calling the shots. A distributed, citizen-directed state that is utterly immune from money and power hierarchies can be built that will only ever feel oppressive to those who are inherently abusive, greedy, and malicious.
I am sometimes forced to wear size 11 shoes, despite having 9½ feet, because so few manufacturers put out 9½ size shoes in an EEEE (quintuple wide) or oversized EEE (quadruple wide) width.
At least a size 11 in a W (wide) is comfortable enough for me, and most shoes come in at least a wide.
I think out of all the shoes I have ever bought, only two styles in 40 years have been wide enough to allow me to wear a 9½. I recently found that second style in a work boot that was being surplussed (through Princess Auto) and no longer being produced, with the marketing that it was wide enough for any foot. Once I confirmed the comfort, I immediately bought three more pairs for a lifetime supply, clearing out the stock of size 9½ for that shoe nation-wide (I checked, as I wanted even more… would have gladly gotten a half dozen pairs if I could). That brand was Terra. Highly recommend, as the model I got have been fucking awesome work boots.
Am I unreasonably disappointed to not find “Correct Horse Battery Staple” - or some variation thereof - in that list?
OpenBSD does not have a docker engine. Can this be installed without docker?
Came across a recent saying that being armed and black has even worse outcomes, especially legal ones, than being unarmed and black. In states with “stand your ground” laws, most people of colour are denied that defence even when it clearly applies.
Another reason why, while AI might be a fun toy, no one who is serious about getting work done will touch it with a dirty barge pole. The gratuitous hallucinations alone ought to be a sufficient deterrent.
Well, a lot of that is processed foods and…
Oh.
Oh, Myyyyyy…
IDK, I like growing and eating zucchini. Especially Ronde de Nice and Cocozelle. But you have to check pretty much every day during peak season, those suckers can go from hand-sized to arm sized in just a day or two.
Yes,because dad cool, mom uncool.
Funny sexism from the 50s.
Or maybe mom responsible adult, dad irresponsible man-child?
It’s the funny anti-male gender bigotry of this century.
I don’t think great-grandpa could make a meme like this, so your characterization is probably going to be the much less likely source. And honestly, it has the same man-hating, man-as-incompetent-idiot stench as a lot of feminist propaganda.
Animals go where the food is.
This is why ants invade homes and create nests out in the yard. This is why spiders set up shop inside your home and mice scurry in the corners.
If you don’t want animals like insects and rodents in your house, eliminate all possible sources of food. While some will always work their way in, the lack of food will mean they’ll always die quickly or leave just as fast as they came.
Considering how I have seen some servers configured, this is a very real problem.
RustDesk all the way, baby.
All of the mainstream router manufacturers have critically insecure firmware. Nearly all routers ship with hundreds of vulnerabilities, and sometimes even zero-days, even when initially released.
It’s why it is so important to find and acquire routers that are capable of being re-flashed with third-party firmware such as DD-WRT or OpenWRT.
Check with the router database of each project to see if what you currently own is eligible. DD-WRT enjoys wider support but is more limited in functionality. OpenWRT is more powerful but needs more capable hardware to run on.
If there was an atmosphere to carry the sound, the sun would be screaming at us at just over 100db.
For reference, sounds at 85db can start causing hearing damage after only 8hrs of exposure.
