Sounds like Durak?

How do they ask permission without filming them first though? With such a device, I’d assume it is always recording and sending data to Meta servers.

I use KDE/Linux btw

I use en- and em-dashes religiously in my LaTeX documents, and I’m not going to start using the wrong kind of dash on purpose. Might as well abandon grammar while we’re at it.

I have my AP connected with a trunk link and configured to offer different SSIDs for different VLANs. I connect IOT devices to the IOT WiFi, and home assistant can see them since the machine running it is connected to that VLAN as well. Apart from the initial setup, this feels like less of a hassle, as firewall rules are already set up for this VLAN (no connection to internet or other VLANs). If I had to manually make sure that every new IOT device I add is incapable of talking to the internet, I think I’d go mad.

Yes, in that case the dependence is quadratic, a special case of polynomial

‘Exponential’ is not the term you’re looking for here

I usually go in the morning because it is incredibly packed in the afternoon / evening.

Employers demand to see your facebook account? That sounds illegal.

I didn’t think people still opened new user accounts on facebook

ssh is a protocol that is used to log in to a computer remotely. Servers are usually administrated not by plugging a keyboard and monitor into the server, but from another machine via ssh. You can configure ssh to allow login with the same username+password you would use locally, but it is common practice to only allow authentication with an ssh key.

ssh keys allow for much higher entropy like you suggested. They are also asymmetric, and the private key can be password-protected or stored on a smartcard.

Have you heard of ssh keys?

What about container images?

But I think ‘encrypt home directory’ only encrypts your home partition, not your root partition. Not sure why many distros offer only this option in the graphical installer

Yes, the sad reality is that Windows is not quite there yet for desktop usage

Imagine hosting a software on your own hardware and still choosing the one that makes you dependent on the whims of a corporation lmao

Yes. By ‘VPN technology’ I mean e.g. wireguard, openVPN, which are infeasible to ban since companies probably use the same software stack.

VPN technology will never be banned, as most companies rely on it heavily, e.g. for remote work. The only thing I could see is ISPs keeping a blacklist of known addresses of commercial VPN providers, but that seems like an uphill battle

Why not make it a felony to propose laws that are ruled to be “obviously unconstitutional”? A citizen can go to jail for even trying to break a regular law, so it seems reasonable to do the same for politicians who try to break one of the foundational laws

Xorg never worked quite right for me with multiple displays of different resolutions, orientations and refresh rates. Even after extensive setup, I would get screen tearing effects all the time. In wayland, everything just works OOTB for me.
