It’s possible to bootstrap ssh host keys with agenix, it just requires a custom derivation to inject the host key at boot.

The only downside is that technically the host key is world-readable on the server.

Onani!

Definitely! If your VPN keeps logs, is in a surveillance-friendly jurisdiction, etc, then details of your internet traffic can be revealed by your VPN. I recommend Mullvad, paid with cash, for the most security. It can also help to pick VPN servers outside of the most egregious jurisdictions, like picking EU servers over US or HK servers.

DoH is meant to hide your internet activity from your ISP/cell-provider since DNS is otherwise unencrypted. If you trust your VPN, then you can trust unencrypted DNS.

The first step in security is to answer who you’re defending against. Someone stealing your phone? A cop with a STINGRAY device? All the security decisions you make are based on your initial threat model.

Generally, home internet, wifi, and cellular data are considered safe against passers-by (assuming your wifi password is strong). However, they are also assumed to be eavesdropped on by your ISP and government. Details of your internet traffic can then also be revealed by your ISP to other people during legal action, such as if you’re being investigated for piracy.

There are ways to further protect your internet traffic from being snooped on, even from your ISP and government, by using things like HTTPS, DNS over HTTPS, and of course, VPNs.

yeah, Id recommend switching on your secondary machine, so you can try it out and use it properly, but not get frustrated if it does something you don’t expect.

It would accelerate the ongoing brain drain in Hong Kong at least, and encourage the stragglers to finally leave for more democratic countries. Banning Google in Hong Kong would be a shitshow for the CCP, but Google doesn’t have any sort of spine or ethics.

The people? Democracy really isn’t that hard.

This is just taking financing power away from governments and leaving it all in the hands of private banks. Not the right thing to do when we need public sector initiatives for co2 reductions and defense.

lmao they’re already talking about chat control again when the ECHR already said that they will never allow it?

This is gonna get American tech and American clouds banned from the EU.

Ironic considering they just banned Tiktok for doing literally this.

I dont think accelerationism will help educate people about labor rights.

By default, Linux can take up to 15 seconds to write a file to disk, this is for power saving reasons. You could corrupt the last document/photo you saved, your browser profile, or your nextcloud sync.

Linux usually shuts down immediately if you don’t have any unsaved files and nothing glitches out during shut down. But yeah, windows sucks, corrupt files is probably the least of your problems using Windows.

I guess on Linux, if you run sync to write all cached files to disk, and then pull the cord, you’re probably fine.

“cubic miles”

Just use “Olympic swimming pools” like the rest of us

Journaling should make sut that the file system itself doesn’t corrupt, but journaling doesn’t magically make all writes atomic. if a program is halfway through writing a file, it will be corrupt.

It is very easy to corrupt files doing this.

Natural gas pipelines cause much worse accidents, but they go unreported because people don’t realise ch4 is 25x more potent of a greenhouse gas than co2.

Natural gas literally causes more global warming through gas leaks than it does via combustion.

The US was aware of the Israeli attack plans, according to CNN. If the US is shooting down Iranian missiles, why don’t they shoot down Israeli missiles as well? Nothing good will happen from any sort of missile exchange in that region.

That sounds reasonable. They should create a mechanism for blocking ships that pose an ecological risk from entering an EEZ.

Even just blockading them would be an act of war.
