ThreeHalflings,

Eh, you’re being lazy. Just compile the kernel from source.

ThreeHalflings,

OK, so this is one of those comments that’s either “wtf, of course everyone knows that” or “oh shit, ok”, but generally wake on USB is a bios setting. Have you looked around in the bios to see what your options are?

Doesn’t explain the weird behaviour, but may be a good way forward.

ThreeHalflings,

Wiat, you don’t believe in sexual preferences? People aren’t allowed to decide what they will or won’t stick their dick into now?

ThreeHalflings,

Android has 41% market share in the US. It sounds like you’ve got some pretty heavy sampling bias going on.

ThreeHalflings,

Lol, I thought it looked like an AC/DC song!

ThreeHalflings,

Did you watch the first 30 seconds of the video?

ThreeHalflings,

So you saw the part where he shows how massively it’s changed and literally says that it doesn’t even look like the same program?

ThreeHalflings,

OK then, I guess we see differently to you.

Have a great day.

ThreeHalflings,

Love it. I’d never have thought to look for it, but I’m glad I stumbled across this post!

Your thoughts on The Orville? (lemmy.world)

When I first started this show I found it to be a really awkward mix of comedy and seriousness. It had some jokes thrown it at the most inopportune times as some kind of comic relief from a really serious situation. Perhaps the first half of the first season was actually a bit rough or maybe the show just grew on me, but by...

ThreeHalflings,

Nothing against anyone, you just don’t want homosexual people to be portrayed on TV shows?

Here’s some news, that’s something against someone.

ThreeHalflings,

There is (was?) a great website called cooptimus

In Dune, the imperialist “nonsense” was the path to salvation. Genocide by machines was what we were saved from.

ThreeHalflings, (edited )

I don’t really agree that the spice wasn’t put forward as a way to salvation. I think it clearly was key to finding the golden path.

The spice enabled the Bene Gesserit to see what was needed in their breeding program, and they were trying to breed Kwisatz Haderach who would lead humanity through a dangerous time, avoiding the destruction of the race. (Also the scene in the sietch that I won’t go into detail about, becuase spoilers)

Leto II uses the spice to see the golden path and forge humanity into what it needs to be to survive. (Also the other thing which I haven’t mentioned due to major spoilers of a cool moment).

The spice is pretty clearly necessary for the path taken to salvation.

While the spice may not have been necessary to avoid the destruction of the human race had another path been found, in the story as it was told it was absolutely central.

The 2022 movie covers the first half of the first book and that theme only really comes into its own in books 2 and 3.

ThreeHalflings,

Paul Erdos has entered the chat.

ThreeHalflings,

Spice is more LSD than meth.

ThreeHalflings,

The spice is the source of the prescience, I don’t think you can draw a line between them (the Tleilaxu could, but even then I think they used what they called synthetic spice, I don’t really recall that very well though).

Aside for that point, yep, I agree with pretty much everything you said!

Unless I’m missing something?

ThreeHalflings,

Have a good day :)

Is there a way to use biometrics + pin with a password as fallback?

I hate how every phone uses biometrics as a bypass to a pin/password instead of being used in conjunction with a pin/password. With biometric + pin, someone needs both your pin and fingerprint. And there can be a prompt for a longer “fallback” password if there is X number of incorrect attempts or at restart. Is there such a...

ThreeHalflings,

I was wondering if the Android fingerprint login had been compromised since the days of the gummybear attacks. For anyone else who was wondering: bleepingcomputer.com/…/android-phones-are-vulnera…

Interesting question OP, I’ll be (academically) interested in the answer.

Edit: this Tasker answer is fiddly and very old, but may be worth looking into: …stackexchange.com/…/can-i-make-android-require-f…

ThreeHalflings,

The market for IBM Model M keyboard clones is already pretty full.

ThreeHalflings,

No. No it is not.

ThreeHalflings, (edited )

Edit: misunderstood what OP wanted to do, leaving this here in case it’s interesting to anyone.

Sounds like what you are tyring to do is called Split Horizon DNS.

Requests from outside your network should resolve server.domain.com to the public IP, but requests from inside your network should resolve it to the private IP.

If that’s what it is then you register the public IP with your nameservers. You also run a DNS service internally which you point all your computers at (likely by putting it as the DNS server in your networks DHCP settings). That DNS server is set up to return the private ip addresses for all your servers, and to forward any other requests to some external DNS like 1.1.1.1

I’m not sure what your use case or for needing to use the internal IP address from inside the network, but it might be to avoid traffic exiting your network just to be sent back in? Or you me a that you want external requests to go to one server and internal to go to another server? I’m which case the set up above still works, but on just use the appropriate IP addresses in the appropriate places.

ThreeHalflings,

OK, I didn’t read before answering, probably ignore my answer below but I’ll leave it up incase someone learns something from it.

ThreeHalflings,

Pretty sure the ball bits are always screwed on (Archer: Phrasing!). If it’s coming loose some locktite or nylon plumber’s tape should hold it in place.

ThreeHalflings,

And we’re just ignoring the whole weapons proliferation side of things?

ThreeHalflings, (edited )

Storage of easily enriched material to prevent theft is a concern, especially given the number of incidents with jokers photographing themselves inside nuclear facilities and the results of FBI testing of nuclear site security protocols.

Additionally, given the ridiculously long half life of the products, you get into conversations about what happens on the thousands of years time scale in which it’s not reasonable to think that any given state remains politically stable.

ThreeHalflings,

An effect can be observable but still negligible in terms of the actual increase of risk.

ThreeHalflings,

The answer used to be John the Ripper, but I’m a decade out of date on this stuff, so it might not be any more.

ThreeHalflings,

Sometimes I just don’t bother learning new stuff till the old stuff stops working for me. It’s amazing how many really simple things people stroll past on their way to god knows where.

ThreeHalflings,

Wood is just less than half cellulose by weight, so wood must be safe to easy.

This mercury sandwich is just less than half bread by weight, so it must be safe to eat.

ThreeHalflings,

If something is part edible and part not, then it really depends on the nature of that not edible bit. If it’s inert, then great. If it’s not, then you could be kinda fucked.

The fact that something is 45% edible says precisely nothing about whether or not it is edible.

ThreeHalflings,

You think a mercury sandwich isn’t a realistic representation of wood.

Wow, you know, after careful consideration I think you may be right. Thanks for your wisdom. Truly enlightening.

I’ll go eat some wood.

ThreeHalflings,

Haha, my table almost had a party wipe in a combat which started with the mage and the bard out front… And continued with the bard running further out front to use Thunderwave.

I might send them this!

YSK: There's a history of animals being charged for criminal acts (en.m.wikipedia.org)

Why YSK: Did you know that throughout history, there have been cases where animals were actually charged with criminal acts? It’s pretty surprising, right? These stories give us a unique glimpse into how societies have dealt with the actions of animals and how the legal system has responded. By learning about these cases, we...

ThreeHalflings,

You can fear the implications of war without thinking you’ll lose it.

ThreeHalflings,

This is a technology post, not a “buy this car next” post. It’s moot if all you care about is your next car.

How to create a sandbox folder, restricting write access to all files contained in it to that folder itself?

Hello! Let’s say I have an executable file, but I’m unsure of the source, and may contain bugs/errors/malwares/bad things that can mess up my machine. I want to execute it anyway, but I want to make sure that it does not mess things up. Is it possible to create a “sandbox” folder, place the executable inside it, and then...

ThreeHalflings, (edited )

The old answer is a chroot jail, the new answer is a Docker container or VM if Docker won’t cut it.

I’m lazy, so Virtualbox is my VM software of choice. I keep a machine with a fresh debian install and just Clone it to make throwaway VMs.

Keep in mind that malicious software on a VM might be isolated from the host in many ways, but if it’s allowed to communicate on your network then it can still be dangerous, especially if you have samba shares, or services you don’t expose to the outside internet with weak or default passwords. (Did you change the admin password on your router’s Web interface?)

Creating a VM with no network interfaces is “mostly safe”, but you hear about VM bust out exploits now and then.

In reality, gold standard is a separate physical computer with no network connections to anything but other untrusted physical computers, and no wireless adapters (Bluetooth or WiFi). This is an “air gapped” network, but if you’re dealing with shit that makes you want an air gap, either you already know more than you’re gonna learn on Lemmy, or you’re bout to get your door kicked in by men in black suits :D

ThreeHalflings,

Also worth saying 99.9% of air gap failures are due to some idiot getting lazy with a usb stick or a phone. They’re a bitch to work with.

(Another 0.09% are someone plugging the wrong cord into the wrong switch by accident or stupidity)

ThreeHalflings,

Seriously. All this talk of automatically updating versions has my head spinning!

ThreeHalflings,

They’re usually clearly documented in support forums by people saying “MY STUFF WON’T BOOT PLESE HALP”

ThreeHalflings,

This may be a silly question, unless is isn't. Are you sure that your maximum upload speed is 300Mbps? Your maximum upload speed can be different to your maximum download speed. https://speedof.me can help you check.

If that's not the answer, sorry for possibly being overly simple, but some people might not realise.

ThreeHalflings,

So we're all in here saying "shorter copyright would be great" but still pirating stuff which came out last week?

ThreeHalflings,

What’s an ML?
