Ah, ok, that makes sense! So there was a separate bug in the framework that granted him limited remote access, but because the server had tight control over outbound connections he had to use a novel way of getting the data back out

Basically: He crawled in through the sewer and then robbed the bank one stack of bills at a time via pigeon courier.

I’m trying to digest this

You’re saying he was stealing data from the target server by appending it line-by-line to dns requests sent to his nameserver? Wouldn’t he have needed to both be on the target server and already have access to the data?

“I have a girlfriend but she lives in Canada and doesn’t have any socials”

Lots of good suggestions here

I’m a bit surprised by your budget. For something just running plex and next cloud, you shouldn’t need a 6 or even 3k system. I run my server on found parts, adding up to just $600-$700 dollars including (used) SAS drives. It runs probably a dozen docker containers, a dns server, and homeassistant. I don’t even remember what cpu I have because it was such a small consideration when I was finding parts.

I’d recommend keeping g your synology as a simple Nas (maybe next cloud too, depending on how you’re using it) and then get a second box with whatever you need for plex. Unless you’re transcoding multiple 4k videos at once, your cpu/GPU really don’t need much power. I don’t even have a dedicated GPU in mine, but I’m basically unable to do live 4k transcodes (this is fine for me)

If i’m understanding the last graph right, it’s showing the total number of active monthly users per instance’s top communities, filtered by the overall top 100 communities?

So if an instance has activity spread out over many niche communities, that activity isn’t represented on this graph?

I would think having a diversity of smaller communities is more in-line with the spirit of the fediverse, I’m not sure of the value in slicing the data in this way.

Oh is it time for another defed campaign already?

I used to think the same thing, but I did an effort post about this about a year ago (here’s the link)

The article you linked to says something similar to my own understanding: basically, DRM circumvention for personal use is officially not allowed under DMCA and could absolutely be used against you in court, though the likelihood is low. The exceptions the author mentions are pretty nebulous, and the Library of Congress actually addresses the most common cases in their discussions and publication and affirms that they are not allowed.

I don’t personally agree with their interpretation, but I think more people ought to know that it’s officially not legal to circumvent DRM for personal use.

If Amazon started charging for smart-home solutions, they’d essentially be making the case for FOSS solutions like home assistant.

Granted, there will always be a contingent of people who are unwilling to learn how to self-manage that tech, but there are certainly enough people who are willing that they should think twice about heading down that path.

I think everyone ought to strip their media of drm, but you should know that personal use does not qualify as fair use under US law

I’m pointing out the aspect of worshipping a person, not the goodness or badness of that person.

Lmao, that’s not what I’m saying. He loves attention, absolutely. I’m commenting on his personal feelings about being shot at and wounded, not his feelings of being adored. Trump talks a big game about violence but can’t stomach being a part of it himself. He famously dodged the draft by faking bone spurs and has called wounded and disabled veterans ‘disgusting’. I don’t think he enjoys people highlighting the fact he almost died by drawing attention to his injury from it.

He likes being able to say he was the victim of a shooting, but he likely does not see actually getting hit a flattering quality. Like for the shoe, he didn’t even pick the famous photo from that day, he picked an objectively worse one where his ear isn’t even shown and he’s posing just like he does at every rally. It it weren’t for a dribble of blood on his cheek this picture could be mistaken for any other day of his campaign.

No, I don’t think he enjoys people taping gauze on their ears in reference to his injury.

Trump does not have any interest in sacrificing himself for his followers.

I’m not convinced he enjoys being reminded of his brush with death.

Depends, is his bleeding ear a symbol of eternal life and forgiveness of sins, too?

I find the comparison to religion kind of laughable. As full of himself Trump is I do not think he shares Christ’s confidence of heavenly ascendance. He sure as fuck doesn’t want to die, but especially not as a sacrifice for the sins of his followers.

A sign that also happens the be a reminder that everyone else hates him so much they want him dead

Lol I bet Trump absolutely hates this

Anyone still planning on voting Biden at this point can only justify it on the basis he’s not Trump, and wouldn’t decide not to vote without Biden on the ticket

A quality he shares with every other American with the exception of Trump himself.

The democrats only stand to gain votes by swapping him out. 75% of democrats would prefer a different candidate.

Yup, I ended up frankensteining a nas from various craigslist parts (i actually found a low-power business-class server motherboard that has worked out well for the purpose). Had to get a SAS HBA card and a couple SFF-8087 cables to do the job right, and I grabbed an old gaming case from the 2010’s to hold it all, but it was relatively seamless. I had one of the drives go out already, but luckily I had it in a raid configuration with parity so it was just a matter of swapping out the drives and rebuilding.

It’s been fun and rewarding, for sure! I’m glad I didn’t sell them like these other dweebs told me to lol

Guess ill be trying my hand at building my own pfsense router

Actually I think it’s on the people who go to .ml specifically to make an ideological statement

That’s funny because I run into that regularly on .world but I’ve never thought ‘there must be a mod abusing their moderation right now’

Well I certainly agree it’s good to be aware of the expectations of that instance if you plan on participating there, but that doesn’t make their way of moderating their forum yours to judge.

But yea, it seems some people here who are complaining about being banned or having content removed could benefit from being more aware of the expectations of the forum their engaging with. I could have sworn I read you complaining about being banned for something I could have told you is likely to earn you a ban… Must’ve been someone else I guess.
