Me too, but I woke up… Checks watch … 25 minutes ago, and I’m still pretty out of it.

Thank you very much. This is the first I’ve heard that his attendance was to a sex party for underaged persons, and that he partook in the event. Even if it’s “just” an allegation.

Hebephilia is a new term for me as well; my immediate opinion is that anyone bothering to make the distinction between paedophilia and hebephilia, is already problematic and likely either trying to justify paedophilia, or differentiate some action to distance it from paedophilia, despite it meeting all of the criteria for paedophilia.

I can sort of understand attraction to persons who have completed their physical development (post-pubescent) who may not be legally an adult yet… Not that I would agree or even condone anything of that nature, but hebephilia, for anyone who doesn’t know, is attraction to those in the early stages of puberty. Regardless of what it’s called, you’re a fully grown adult and should have enough self discipline to refrain from pursuing any inappropriate and/or illegal intimate relations. Grow up, be the adult you are.

Don’t take this the wrong way, but, is there evidence that he had inappropriate relations with a minor?

I’m not trying to defend the guy at all, I’m genuinely curious what I may have missed. I tend to skip over most of the Trump coverage in the media… I’ve seen enough of that Tropicana shithead.

I know there was some pretty strong correlations with Epstein that was brought to light recently, and I think someone testified that he was present at events that included under aged persons, but I have yet to see him accused of any specific activity. He was just… There.

I mean, I don’t need any evidence to dislike the guy, but if I am to take up a defensible position against those that are still deluded enough to support the commander and cheeto, I would like to be working from a solid source.

Thanks in advance. <3

Always has been.

Long live gaben.

Honestly, I’m worried for what might happen if steam ever becomes dependent on how happy shareholders are with the amount of money they can squeeze from their users.

A lot of things on steam are not cheap, but the platform itself is really really good.

Keep it up chaps.

Let’s stop mincing words here.

You want me because I have a particular set of skills that you think will be helpful to you in your pursuit of profit.

I want your job because I can leverage the skills I have for money and benefits that will provide food, and shelter.

Your main concerns are profits.

My main concerns are survival.

Employment is where these things meet in the middle. Let’s not pretend that we’re here because we’re friends. We are not family. Fuck you, pay me.

IMO, this would be more ironic if the post was closed automatically by a bot. But that’s not the vibe I’m getting from this.

It’s 7 bits…

Pay attention. 🤪

I’m not going to link shame.

You like what you like.

No, we can’t. Otherwise how would people like Elon and Bezos know that they’re better than us?

I’ve been preaching about this for a while. Many modern systems are getting bitlocker turned on by default.

If your system gets messed up, or simply won’t start because of some security vendors bad update, goodbye data. You need the recovery key, and if you don’t have it, you’ll never see your bits the the correct order again.

Hey, get your Gentoo propaganda out of here.

While I have some sympathy for anyone who loses months of work, as an IT administrator by day, all I have to say about their lack of backups, and lack of RTFM before messing with shit is:

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA HAHAHAHAHA. you got what you deserved fucker. GL.YF.

One thing that was recommended to me by someone a while ago, is that, unless you need it for something specific, mount your media in Plex as read only.

Plex has functions where you can delete content from the library from their UI. If you need that for some reason, obviously don’t make it read only. If you’re hoarding the data, and therefore never delete it, or use an external system for deleting files, then RO all the way.

The only caveat to this is if you’re using a local disk on the Plex system, which then shares out the drive/folder for adding new content, in which case, you’re screwed. It has to be rw so the OS can add/remove data.

In my case, as I think may be common (or at least, not rare), my back end data for Plex Media is on a NAS, so it’s easy to simply have the system running Plex, mount that network share as RO, and you’re done. The data on the NAS can be accessed and managed by other systems RW, direct to the NAS.

Since Plex is exposed to the internet, if anyone with sufficient rights is compromised, in theory, an attacker could delete the entire contents of your media folder with it. If you limit RW access to internal systems only, then that risk can be effectively mitigated.

This I can get behind.

I don’t need it on all my 18650s, but a few would be nice. Also 21700s.

Someone bring this back.

Fair enough. I haven’t used spectrum, so I have no opinion. I’m not in the right country to subscribe to their service, so there’s that.

Have a good day.

Yes and no.

Modern HTTPS connections send the URL you are connecting to in the initial hello, so the remote webserver knows what security certificate to use when you connect. A lot of web servers host multiple sites, especially for smaller webpages, and so it doesn’t assume that since you connected to that specific webserver, that you’re connecting to the site that the webserver is hosting, even if it’s only hosting a single site.

This can leak the data to anyone sniffing the traffic.

You can also determine some traffic by IP address, this is for larger web services like Facebook, youtube and other sites of similar size. They load balance groups of IPs for their traffic, all are serving the same data. So if you connect to an IP that’s owned by Facebook, for example, then your actions can be easily derived.

Since the connection is still secured by TLS, the content can’t be deciphered, but the location you are going to absolutely can.

It really depends on a lot of factors.

All ISPs are legally obligated to forward that shit to you. The alerts are not from spectrum, they’re just relaying the information.

Right now, copyright owners do not have legal permission to find out who you are directly without a court order. They would only seek that information if they were planning to file a lawsuit.

Media companies know, from the Napster incident, that such actions can backfire stupendously. It’s rare that they even bother anymore. I can go into detail on why, but I’ll leave it out for brevity.

So they send the notice to your ISP, who is legally obligated to match the information on the notice to the subscriber and forward the notice to you.

For many, this goes to an ISP provided mailbox, which most people ignore the existence of it. Clearly spectrum operates differently.

The notices are from copyright holders who have no idea who you are, and can’t determine that information unless they intend to sue you. So those can be, for the most part, ignored.

It’s not your ISPs fault that you got those. They couldn’t give a shit less about what you do on their service, or what you download. They just want you to pay your bill every month and keep the gravy train rolling.

Depends on the UPS. Many cheap offline UPS units don’t. Anything line interactive or online will.

APC makes low end offline UPS units, which are cheap garbage.

They also make line interactive and online ups units, which are decidedly not completely garbage.

I pick up line interactive APC units from used locations like eBay, and go buy off label replacement batteries. Haven’t had any problems with them so far.

To date, over the last ~10 years of running a homelab, I have used mainly SMT 1500 units, one was a rack mount. I’ve recently upgraded to an SMX2000. I’ve replaced batteries, but never a UPS, and never any server components due to power issues. I’ve run servers ranging from a Dell PE 2950, to a full c6100 chassis, plus several networking devices, including firewalls, routers and PoE switches. Not a single power related issue with any of them.
