It seems to just be more attack surface for very little actual gain on JS. At least with JS I have NoScript, Ublock and some actual say over what loads/runs on my box. For this reason, I usually just disable all wasm/webgl/webrtc until I find out that I actually need it which for me is basically never or only for very short periods.

Some upgrades require human input like when core service config files upgrades are offered. (ex. would like to update /etc/samba/smb.conf with the maintainer’s version or keep your own?)

In my experience this can occasionally cause background apt processes to hang while they wait for your answer to that kind of question. There is a debconf trick you can try. debian_frontend=noninteractive. You can create your own cronjob, as root, that runs a script with this export command, apt update, then apt dist-upgrade -y.

So if AI is running fuzzers to find bugs, credit should go to the fuzzers, not the AI.

Please stop reposting the Anthropic shit posts. This is pure advertising spam from a disreputable company.

If your machine is a Tuxedo laptop, this thread might interest you. Seems as though this user was hitting thermal limits and their laptop would freeze/poweroff to keep from dying.

Run your workload in a guest VM and limit its resources to whatever you desire. You can also consider c-groups if you already know which processes are causing all of the trouble.

Ignoring what users want is the tradition in GNOME and yeah ofcourse Fedora is gonna do whatever RedHat/IBM tells them to do including push AI-slop.

I would look at these things first.

1. Try another DE, something like XFCE. See if the problem persists. Sometimes swapping compositors or display managers can help too.
2. Run memtest. Failing memory can definitely cause lock-ups.
3. Lastly I’d look at graphics drivers. If you’re running Nvidia, switch from nouveau to the proprietary driver or vice-versa and see if that helps.

Based on the relationships he maintained, Ehud Barak, Robert Maxwell, and others … Epstein having ties to the CIA is a given. People who have worked in the US Government understand how much Israel is embedded within the cyber/intel aspects of it. It is difficult know where US/Israel ends. Any intel agency would kill for the photos/videos that Epstein appears to have amassed with his VIP guests as they ‘partied’ with minors and each other.

The content produced by humans was scraped en-masse for the explicit purpose of training models which were then monetized into business products.

I struggle to reconcile that with Fair Use.

I can see if the source was EULA’d to remove all rights to what you post to things like Reddit, Stack Overflow, and if somehow those entities were contacted ahead of time and negotiated usage. You, I and the web server logs know that this was almost never the case.

This project has never been more relevant in light of the recent acceleration of enshitification over at Microslop. Might be time to donate a few bucks.

unbelievable sadness

It should but you can test that assumption by trying to ping any other device on the non-guest wifi. (and try ping in the other direction)

Do not, under any circumstances, conduct any private business on it. What isn’t being logged by Microsoft and shared with your employer, advertisers, various governments will be screenshot’d every n seconds. Additionally, I highly suggest, if you haven’t already, to setup a separate VLAN for this device if you ever bring it home and connect it to your home network. Defender absolutely does passive sniffing and active network scanning now. It will also be collecting and logging visible SSIDs as well. Enjoy!

So the thing with useful quantum computers is that if they ever do make it actually work and manage to scale it up, the first thing they will do is render most modern encryption obsolete over night. My guess is that Bluffdale has a mountain of encrypted data they’d start cracking immediately.

My cynicism can’t allow me to think that we’d hear about it until years after that backlog is cleared and the NSA (and now by extension Israel and Russia) have backdoored any network of interested 10 times over.

The far more likely scenario is that this like stable/cold-ish Fusion, practical graphene, CRiSPER miracle cures are still way more theory than driveable cars at this point and for next several years at least. These folks just want more money and have to keep claiming they are close to get it.

Prolific cannibal promises to review their choice in seasonings to be more tactful as they continue to feast on PC users’ privacy, freedom and last scraps of digital dignity on a global scale.

I am sure that this empty promise of change has everything to do with their user empathy and absolutely nothing to do with their recent financial results which indicated how hollow their AI-slop-bullshit revenue growth was last quarter.

Wireguard should be the default here. The rest is just networking configuration implemented in both routing and firewall. I never understood why people use Tailscale, like why would you intentionally pay someone to be man in the middle of your virtual private network? Twingate I am not familiar with.

OpenRC seems to work pretty seamlessly on Gentoo. Just throwing that out there.

So … device attestation … the same shit coming from Google, Microslop and others. At least Poettering is consistent with his shit ideation.

You might have too many old kernels installed. This would potentially fill up the /boot partition. One way to check this is:

df -h

Look for the line indicating space left for /boot.

You can then get a list of the installed kernels with:

dpkg --get-selections | grep -v deinstall | grep linux-image

If you need to remove old ones, use uname -a to identify the running kernel (should be the latest version if you’ve rebooted after the last kernel update) then remove all of the older kernel packages with:

sudo apt remove -y linux-image-amd64-xxxx

More generally speaking, I think that sudo apt autoremove should leave you with only the latest 2 kernel packages by default.

Except that Microsoft basically puts a gun to every users head to login with a Microsoft account which can/does backup the recovery keys.
