Exactly my thought on Bush/Obama hybrid

[–] Sparkega 15 points 6 days ago

Summary: The administration wanted to put blanket tariffs on everyone (minus Russia) and used bad faith math to justify their actions.

Countries who provide a trade surplus (buy more from America then they sell them) are getting tariffed as well.

By their own math, all goods will average a 10% inflation in price.

Gabe Newell believes piracy is a result of inferior service or access. I believe the original poster is stating that piracy has become the answer here because it's the only place to find this media.

I'm sorry, we're currently in the process of dismantling the USPS. Please feel free to have some user data. We're not sure if it's really yours or not since our authentication procedures have been reduced. I'm sure you have the best intentions. Good day.

Does this imply he dies on his future birthday? 🤔

Malicious QR codes were used to establish a separate device as a 'linked device' which would allow the attacker to receive and read Signal messages sent to and from the target

There is an effort to reterm away from the dehumanizing and victim blaming "Pig Butchering" to "Romance Baiting".

Thanks, great reference! It's going to take some time to digest, but I know it will be useful.

Thanks. I'll look into it. Does it sync feeds across devices?

Request RSS reader option

Hello, everyone. I'm trying to shift to RSS for news and looking for the best way to access a feed across multiple devices.

Most recommendations I've seen are for Feedly, but the free version has some limitations like sponsored ads and no more than 100 sources. It also seems to be very corporate and starting to integrate AI into its model.

I've heard that Friendica can integrate RSS into your social feed. Does anyone have experience using Friendica as an RSS feed?

Any other good options that can sync an RSS feed across devices?

If you're familiar with self-hosting, Immich is a photo backup and cataloging tool. You retain all your photos on your own server so you have maximum security and privacy.

I think this is the answer. Thanks for your recommendation. I'll test this out soon. It seems to check all the boxes and I found this website providing good reasons to use it.

The reasons I prefer Jitsi Meet to Zoom include the following:

  1. no subscriptions are required to use all the features of Jitsi Meet;
  2. unlike Zoom, Jitsi Meet does not require you to sign up;
  3. unlike Zoom, Jitsi Meet does not require the installation of an application — it runs in Google Chrome or Firefox;
  4. unlike the free version of Zoom, Jitsi Meet does not impose a time limit on the length of the meeting;
  5. unlike the free version of Zoom, Jitsi Meet does not have a limit on the number of meeting attendees;
  6. Jitsi Meet provides end-to-end encryption for one-to-one video calls*;
  7. I find the performance of Jitsi Meet better than Zoom, which seems to be corroborated in basic benchmarking by Jitsi Meet’s developers (‘WebRTC vs. Zoom – A Simple Congestion Test‘);
  8. I find image quality better in Jitsi Meet;
  9. I find Jitsi Meet on a desktop/laptop more intuitive and easier to use than Zoom;
  10. if I share audio in Zoom for Linux, the audio is very distorted**;
  11. I find the UI of the Jitsi Meet app for Android easy to use (the app can be installed via Google Play);
  12. Jitsi Meet is open-source, so anyone can inspect the source code;
  13. if I wanted to, I could download the Jitsi software to my own server and set up a Jitsi Meet server to handle meetings instead of using the Cloud server provided by 8×8, Inc. (the company that develops the Jitsi Meetings software).

I'm looking for an alternative option to video chat and stream Jackbox games with my family.

Currently when we play, I set up a video chat on meet that family members join via laptops and then I connect a separate computer that shares its screen and audio from the running game.

Features I'm interested in:

  • Cheap/No cost
  • Easily to access (web based ideally)
  • Shares computer screen and audio
  • Unlimited/long meeting time (sometimes we play for up to 3 hours)

Does something like this exist?

Edit: We had a successful game last weekend using Jitsi Meet. Everyone was able to connect and we played for 3 1/2 hours. Jackbox audio and video went through nicely.

 

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth last week ordered U.S. Cyber Command to stand down from all planning against Russia, including offensive digital actions, according to three people familiar with the matter.

The exact duration of Hegseth’s order is unknown, though the command has been told the guidance will last for the foreseeable future, according to sources.

Russia is a bastion for cybercrime, with state-linked and criminal ransomware actors striking targets around the globe. The command has become a key player in countering the malicious activity.

Outside of internal challenges, the order could derail some of the command’s most high-profile missions involving a top U.S. digital adversary, including in Ukraine.

Video Archive (self.tomscott)
 

Sorry to hear Tom isn't making videos anymore. Anyone know about an archive of his videos available for downloading for later viewing and archiving?

 

I should have known if the apps free, you're the product. Duolingo appears to harvest the most data compared to other language learning apps.

Long Resting (self.baldurs_gate_3)
 

I've never played D&D and I'm getting into BG3. I must be marathoning my characters cause I'm usually out of spells when I run into fights. My useful exploration spells also cost spell slots so I'm usually proceeding with cantrips for my adventures until I decide I really need to recharge.

How often is everyone else going through a long rest? I know there's a trade off of consuming camp supplies and so maybe I'm just the guy who saves all the items for end game and never ends up using them.

Researchers analyzed 190 million hacking events on a honeynet and categorized the types of hackers into Dungeons and Dragons classses.

Rangers evaluate the system and set conditions for a follow-on attack.

Thieves install cryptominers and other profiteering software.

Barbarians attempt to brute force their way into adjacent systems.

Wizards connect the newly compromised system to a previous to establish 'portals' to tunnel through to obscure their identity.

Bards have no apparent hacking skill and likely purchase or otherwise acquire access. They perform basic computer tasks.
