demesisx, to linux in Easiest way to switch distros
@demesisx@infosec.pub avatar

I wish you luck… but honestly, it sounds like a lot of painful steps to get the exact same thing that a solid config flake in NixOS would get you.

I use NixOS btw. ;)

demesisx, to worldnews in Biden says Hamas raped, mutilated women during Israel assault
@demesisx@infosec.pub avatar

What’s funny is that they want us to simultaneously believe that these are religious zealots that are so dedicated to their holy book that would die to uphold the laws set out in it but they also openly violated one of the major laws (rape) it specifically forbids just to “own the Jews”. If one Hamas member saw another raping a woman, they’d have license from their holy book itself to execute that person on the spot. There’s almost no crime in the world of Islam more severe than rape. Look it up.

Confessions of an Economic Hit Man

The book provides Perkins’ account of his career with engineering consulting firm Chas. T. Main in Boston. Perkins claims that the NSA arranged for him to be hired by the firm, and that he was subsequently seduced and trained as an “economic hitman” by a mysterious businesswoman named Claudine. Perkins writes that his primary role at Chas T. Main was to convince leaders of underdeveloped countries to accept substantial development loans for large construction and engineering projects, thus trapping them in a system of American influence and control.

demesisx, to linux in Spending a few days with Hyprland made me realize how awesome Gnome is
@demesisx@infosec.pub avatar

I use xmonad as my main WM, so Hyprland would be a very easy transition. I would have switched by now but I just love Haskell

so much.

I’m not talented enough to port Hyprland to Haskell (at least the configuration aspect) but I wish someone wanted to do that. What I like about xmonad is that its core is actually formally verified.

I use Arch BTW. jk

demesisx, to programmerhumor in Rust To Impose Prima Nocta
@demesisx@infosec.pub avatar

GHC to Rust:

Lower your flags and march straight back to Mountain View, stopping at every home to beg forgiveness for a hundred years of theft, rape, and murder. Do this and your men shall live. Do it not, and every one of you will die today.

Paraphrasing: “Aaron doesn’t agree in lockstep with American military propaganda so we added this disclaimer to discredit his near-perfect record of truthful journalism.”

demesisx, to asklemmy in what are some of the best purchases you've made ?
@demesisx@infosec.pub avatar

Spec-wise QNAP has always at least had parity but where they sucked was customer service. That’s why I didn’t even mention them.

demesisx, to asklemmy in What is it, that you currently imagine is stopping you from being content with your life?
@demesisx@infosec.pub avatar

Government corruption and corporatism that lead to ANYTHING that is in my best interest being locked behind exceedingly impossible profit motives. Citizens United, first past the post, a two party system, capitalism, the CIA, the World Bank: they are all to blame for the life getting less and less enjoyable and more filled with work.

@demesisx@infosec.pub avatar

I have a Synology NAS too but YSK they’re an absolute shit company who only does well because they’re the only game in town. They used to be great but they’ve started doing some questionable things in recent years with “official” drives and their customer service is SO bad.

Also, they’re closed source.

demesisx, to worldnews in IDF evidence so far falls well short of al-Shifa hospital being Hamas HQ
@demesisx@infosec.pub avatar

Motherfuckers PLANTED those too.

There’s Zero chance that Hamas would have stored machine guns and ammo within three feet of a FUNCTIONING MRI MACHINE. There’s zero chance that Hamas labels their power bricks in Latin characters and somehow manages to use type M plugs which are used in Israel but not Gaza.

Nice. He recognized a good technology. You sound SO stupid.

Here’s some easy ways to spot fraud in a crypto project:

  • not open source
  • not decentralized
  • anonymous team (not always a sign of sketchiness)
  • the crypto is locked in someone else’s wallet (not your keys, not your crypto)
  • promises of ROI that are too good to be true (like TerraLunas 20% guaranteed return or the unsustainably high return promised by FTX)
  • not formally verified
  • an actual use-case rather than leveraging buzz-words to sell a utility token (looking at you IOTA and AGIX)
  • initial token allocation is all insiders (Ergo had one of the fairest launches in the whole space, for example so I’d be shocked to see that one be a pump and dump)

I didn’t predict the failure of FTX or TerraLuna but they also didn’t smell right to me because they ticked MANY of the warning boxes above. I’m fairly centered around Cardano ecosystem projects but even in that ecosystem there’s bound to be some fraud. I protect myself by sticking to my gut feeling and using that small checklist. I have yet to be defrauded and I’ve been investing the space since 2017. It’s not hard and I am not Nostradamus but thanks for the compliment.
