  • can't disable SSL certificate verification in dbconfig-mysql setup of PhpMyAdmin

    Jump

  • I managed to figure out how to bypass the cert verification in dbconfig-mysql (named on the tin as dbconfig-common) and got my appliance set up!

    1. apt install dbconfig-mysql before installing the PhpMyAdmin package

    2. In /usr/share/dbconfig-common/internal/dbc-mysql, in both sections where temporary my.cnf is defined, set ssl-verify-server-cert = off right below the port = line.

    3. to install PhpMyAdmin, run DEBIAN_PRIORITY=low apt install phpmyadmin and follow the prompts

    4. In /etc/phpmyadmin/config.inc.php add the following line directly under $cfg['Servers'][$i]['host'] = $dbserver;:

       
              $cfg['Servers'][$i]['ssl'] = true;
    $cfg['Servers'][$i]['ssl_verify'] = false;

  • [proposal] a better content-recommendation system

    Jump

  • How about open source pluggable algos which can be optionally marked shareable between users and selected from a list sortable by number of "installs"

    So like a user could define an algorithm to select posts, and then mark it shared, and other users could see it in a directory and try it out themselves, and optionally clone and hack on it, release a new version, etc.

    As far as how the post selection algos could be defined, I'm thinking of something similar to the boolean query syntax in the Quod Libet music player, but one could also implement a more code-like syntax.

    (I'm aware this is a huge ask, but I've had this idea for 8 years since my first Mastodon account, and have been too busy being oppressed by life to do anything about it.)

  • 'Next Step Is Primaries': Calls for Schumer Ouster After Leading Shutdown Surrender

    Jump

  • The eight senators were Sens. Catherine Cortez Masto of Nevada, Dick Durbin of Illinois, John Fetterman of Pennsylvania, Maggie Hassan of New Hampshire, Tim Kaine of Virginia, Angus King of Maine, Jacky Rosen of Nevada, and Jeanne Shaheen of New Hampshire, but Levin said many more centrist lawmakers were likely “in on the play.”

    On **MSNBC Monday, Shaheen acknowledged that Schumer was “kept informed” of the eight senators’ negotiations with the GOP regarding reopening the government.

    [...]

    “The coordinated nature of this—none [of the lawmakers who voted yes] are facing voters in 2026—means that either Schumer approved it or failed in his job as Senate [minority] leader to stop it,”

  • To what extent dœs mass-overwriting files with random data wear out NAND storage ?

    Jump

  • Bold of you to assume it's overwritten rather than being unlinked and having the random data written to entirely different flash blocks.

    If you want to rely on "overwriting" data for security, you need deterministic storage; only CMR hard drives mostly qualify (leaving aside the question of bad-block remapping).
