  • Monero (XMR).

    I'm aware that Fake Internet Money™ is not without issues. But if you're going to accept tips/payments in any flavor of buttcoins, XMR (for privacy and speed) and BTC (for ubiquity) are the ones to fuck with.

  • 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;
        
  • This is why I say it can't be reformed.

    But shitlibs from .world wanna argue. Which is kind of a microcosm of why we are where we are in this country.

    Is a secret ICE detention facility in the works for Newport? Clues reveal scope of Oregon coast federal project

  • 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.)

  • 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,”

  • 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).

    • No ruins, probes, artifacts, or lingering tech
    • No Dyson spheres or interstellar beacons
    • No signs of past galactic empires

    Would we really be able to see any of these if they weren't right in the immediate neighborhood?

  • A few weeks ago I went on a wiki dive about some pedo shit that happened in broad daylight in the USA in the 1970s and was only solved after it got so fucking egregious the cops could no longer ignore it / write off all the dead kids as "runaways" and not investigate, and holy mother of jebus I can see why some people would believe in shit like Pizzagate after reading about shit that literally did happen in this country in living memory.

    Start point: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dean_Corll ... and this is only the start point, it branches out from there into major conspiracy involving dozens of motherfuckers who mostly got slaps on the wrist if any punishment at all

  • I mean they did anally rape the guy with a knife and curbstomp him in the chest, soooo the optics are not great.

  • Radiators on Earth have conduction and convection available to them as well as radiation. Conduction and especially convection account for the vast majority of heat shed from the radiator.

    Radiators in space have only radiation available.
