Dear hacker,

How did you get my camera to work on NetBSD? I’ll send whatever shitcoin you want.

It’s no longer open source. Big Deal in my books.

Vault features are cool. I really like it. But with Hashicorp now there is this big risk of “rug pulling” regarding its license.

The wise thing, in my opinion, is to avoid this company as much as possible.

They apparently bribed some of the ActivityPub protocol developers and fediadmins into signing NDAs contracts with Meta.

Now FediDB is showing Meta as “just another fediverse” instance. Pixelfed is very happy to work shoulder to shoulder with Meta devs.

You are not gonna block the most popular man in the Fediverse, are you?

Of course it’s a lemmy.ml user.

If your comments have been federated to other instances, they will be there until they are deleted locally. If someone clicks on your user profile, they will get a DNS error if the domain is no longer there. Images in the comments pointing to you instance will be broken too. Nothing terrible actually happens.

Migrating accounts a la Mastodon is not happening soon in Lemmy.

My advice is: Go on and save some money.

I’m too lazy to label them. So, I usually keep the PDs connected to the charger and that’s it.

But if it becomes a problem I’ll probably use a wire labeler.

It would be nice if they came labeled from factory, though.

The acorn slayer was a man. And he panicked even worse. He got hit on his imagination, then rolled like an idiot before shooting to his car.

• me: I stole a bike.
• owner: Plz, gov, help me get it back.
• me: Here, my income taxes.
• gov: Yup. We’re all goood. Bye.

so, jesus can it?

Sorry to read that.

I’ve dded an external drive instead of an SD card once by mistake. I’ve never felt more stupid than that day.

I’m not an expert. But I believe it is something to do with information redundancy.

If you mishear a word but surrounding words must match gender and number, you may reconstruct the misheard word.

As a native spanish speaker, I don’t think of the actual sexuality of objects, it’s just a characteristic of the word that should match other words in the sentence. For example the word screen (pantalla) is femenine, and the word monitor (monitor) is masculine. So when I see my monitor I don’t think of an actual female or male object. But the nouns should match adjectives gender, so if someone says “broken monitor” (monitor roto) or “broken screen” (pantalla rota) I have this kind of redundancy if I misheard a word.

But I’m not an expert of linguistics. Don’t quote me.

Spanish enters the room: words have gender, but there are special cases where the definite article switches gender.

“El hacha roja/Las hachas rojas”, “El agua fría/Las aguas frías”

Also, some words may have both genders:

“El computador/La computadora”

It’s running NetBSD, isn’t it?

I saw no spam, but lots of people talking about it.

And fediadmins begging for stopping open registrations.

In order to pass my english exam, should I learn uppercase? Or just lowercase is OK?

Also, wtf is a looped cursive?

Some security tips:

Firewall should block everything by default, and you start allowing incoming and outgoing connections when you need them or if something fails.

Disable passwords and root access in ssh daemon.

Use fail2ban or something similar to block bots failing to log-in.

Use random long passwords for everything (eg: like databases). And put then in a password manager. If you can remember the database password, it’s not strong enough. If you can remember the admin password for a public web service, it’s weak.

Don’t repeat the passwords. Everything should have its own random long password.

.env files and files with secrets should be readable only by its service user. Chmod them to 400.

Monitor logs from time to time to see if something funny is happening.
