Every nation in the world should fund open source technologies with a large chunk of their tax revenue. The fact that this isn’t even close to happening almost everywhere says all we need to know about world governments and their corporatist nature.

You conveniently dodged my question, then asked me stupid questions, thinking I’d have to agree with cherry-picked offenses by China. I am not a fan of China. I just think they are justified in defending themselves. Furthermore, I think it’s hilarious that the the US decided to offshore our high tech goods to have them manufactured there as if we weren’t ASKING to be hacked. The only solution going forward is CLEARLY domestic RISC-V manufacturing and not allowing our enemies to manufacture our critical technologies.

Do I support China’s:

• domestic surveillance: of course not
• transnational repression: of course not
• supression (sp!) of free speech and freedom of the press: of course not
• bullying of its neighbours: of course not
• aggression against Taiwan: of course not

Do I support China engaging in pre-emptive cyber warfare against aggressors: absolutely

Do I support the US engaging in pre-emptive cyber warfare against aggressors: absolutely

Do I support Israel engaging in pre-emptive cyber warfare against aggressors: absolutely

Do I support war crimes being committed by ANY of these countries: NO

Embedding Trojans in your enemy’s infrastructure and leaving them to be switched on in times of war is ABSOLUTELY defense. You may not like it. But that’s called cyber warfare.

Quick question: Do you fundamentally disagree with what China is accused of but fully support Israel and the US’s extrajudicial backdoors, Trojan horses, domestic spying, pager bomb assasinations, AI targeted air strikes, and other clandestine war crimes just because they are perpetrated by “the good guys”?

This story deserves a “no doy!”

All major world powers are bolstering their cybersecurity. If they weren’t, they wouldn’t survive in such an opportunistic world.

Not to be confused with absolute eunuchs:

If you can use another method, disabling SSH entirely would do it. ;)

This is how Talos Linux achieves best-in-class security properties.

I’m impressed that a pro footballer found Lemmy. Welcome!

I used to keep a list of repos to pull onto my NAS in case they someday went closed source. I use “mr” for it. It worked great. I had it on a systemd timer.

It feels AOC is doing all the heavylifting grandstanding while all the rest of them smug bunch are just watching with “told ya dis was gunn happen” drawn on their face.

Please tell me my ignorant ass is just blatantly wrong because I ain’t getting any news.

You’re blatantly wrong. AOC lives to grandstand and pander. Just like mamabear Pelosi, she kept REALLY quiet about everything (including the ongoing genocide she voted to keep funding) when her team was in power.

Here’s a video showing how she was hand-picked from 10,000 applicants in a nationwide talent search for a pretty face to intentionally and impotently pander and drum up support from low-information identity politics dupes to keep eroding labor movements under the guise of being a leftist.

Cast your attention to Rashida Tlaib if you want a real one. AOC is as fake as professional wrestling.

Yes. They did, after all, assassinate him.

It’s pretty funny to see this thread filled with wrong answers by lemmy.world users and those same smuglibs downvoting anyone that suggests otherwise when it’s pretty universally accepted that he was killed by the CIA.

The CIA even did a distinctive CIA-style cleanup job , eliminating all parties with knowledge of the hit afterward.

What for many years seemed unthinkable has turned out to be true after all.

There was a CIA cover-up. The CIA did suppress information. The CIA did stonewall both of the official government investigations of the JFK assassination. And as a consequence of this Agency misconduct, both investigations were compromised in important respects-particularly in regard to the fundamental issues of whether the assassination resulted from a conspiracy and whether Lee Harvey Oswald (alleged to be the sole assassin in the Warren Report and alleged to be one of multiple assassins in the Report of the House Assassinations Committee) was affiliated with the CIA.

I’d go with NixOS in impermanence mode coupled with home-manager and a NixOS service that does the backup “cron job” that another poster talked about (just in case).

Even if she somehow managed to brick the system, you could completely restore it within minutes to the EXACT state you left it in using just these three or four Nix tools. Hell, she could even do it herself by rebooting and selecting a previous config at the start screen. All she needs to do is be able to press down and enter.

home-manager for NixOS has escaped your notice. ALL of my dot files are declared in my nix-config.

Furthermore, this module would likely complete the possibility of building a grandma-proof immutable OS complete with immutable home folders: https://wiki.nixos.org/wiki/Impermanence

Look into one Mr. Frank Grillo for all of the things you seek.

He’s truly not very nice! In fact, he’s (IMO) the polar opposite of someone classy like the late Christopher Plummer (RIP) whom I got to work with on a feature years back.

Edit: or Anthony Hopkins who introduced himself to my friend as “Tony”.

I worked on a few movies with him.

Here’s the exact exchange I overheard between him and a PA on the set of Finestkind:

PA: “Can I get you anything, Mr. Jones?”

Tommy Lee Jones: “I’ll have some hot tea please.”

PA: “We have Oolong tea, Earl Grey, Green Tea, or would you like something else?”

Tommy Lee Jones: “I’d like a hot cup of too many fucking questions!”

So yeah. This is EXACTLY what he’s like. He does NOT put up with bullshit.
