Re last, альт предоставлен ChatGPT: Война с Ордой. Сергей Ауслендер Пока весь мир осуждает "трусливый" удар Израиля по Катару (а почему "трусливый", взяли же на себя ответственность?) и спасает территориальную целостность эмирата, спонсирующего всех террористов Бл. Востока, в Польшу прилетели 10 российских беспилотников. Кто-то может сказать, что это произошло случайно, но увы. Один - да, два - туда-сюда можно поверить, но десять - так не бывает. И как-то не слышно хора голосов, осуждающих этот "трусливый" удар и поддерживающих территориальную целостность Польши. Кстати, а что там с пятой статьёй НАТО?
We really need a legislation to force Android vendors that are selling their phones in EU to allow "bootloader unlocking".
Like, come on. It's literally a one-bit check by an "application" before loading the Linux kernel. Yet, vendor after vendor is removing the ability to skip this check for muh "security".
It's never about security, it's about control. If you can't install your own OS, they can collect your data to sell and push ads onto you. It's basically like buying a laptop in 2008 with Windows Vista and pre-loaded malware that made it unusable. Everyone wiped it and installed a clean copy of XP or Linux, imagine being unable to do that...
If we don't stand up to vendors, in the future they'll take this option away. I hope they realize there'll be no reason to buy Android anymore (no way to "sideload" due to Play Protect, no way to replace the OS/remove GApps) and everyone will go "fuck it, I'm just gonna get an iPhone".
For many years Android/iOS duopoly was unbreakable, but thanks to Google's recent (stupid) decisions this could (and I hope will) change. Current "smartphones" are just the prefect tools of digital dystopia.
I would be really cautious with the wording. Instead "bootloader unlocking" I would force something as "alternative system installation with posibility to apply same security measures" as much broader set of features is needed to install OS.
You want to allow unlock bootloader, flash custom OS, load custom cetificates/keys/... to bootloader, relock the bootloader, verify and boot alternative OS signed with alternative keys.
Fingerprint reader functionality under #Linux sucks.
1. Every few reboots/updates/whatever-triggers it, the fingerprint functionality GETS DISABLED all by itself. The bug is there in BOTH Ubuntu and Arch Linux ( #gnome ).
2. GDM won't let me choose between pass & fingerprint reading. This has repercussions for gnome's keyring.
3. Because the keyring is not unlocked, launching things like Chrome requires you to type a password! Again!
True. Unlocking account without also unlocking keyring is useless. And it is quite unreliable. After several sleep modes, fingerprint reader just doesn't work. But this is probably firmware/driver problem.
@stepan Yes, it happens after waking up, after reboots (but not consistent when it happens). I don't know who's bug it is, Canonical should not have put their stake on this laptop that came preinstalled with Ubuntu and it's supposedly "fully supported".
@stepan same thing here. If I interpret the crash log correctly, the fingerprint reader is connected via mobo internal USB hub and simply not (yet?) available directly after wakeup. So either the process should wait until peripherals are online or do something else until they are. Now it just terminates. Problem is, I have no experience at all fixing something like that…
I could use a bit of help from the blind/visually impaired community. Boosts appreciated.

I need to get a sign made for the public wild space and I'm struggling to find a signmaker that will do it. Aside from recommendations for anyone who could make a weatherproof B/VI-accessible sign in the UK it would help to know:
* We have been told more visually impaired people are able to read raised text over braille. Is that likely, would raised text be the more inclusive option? * We're planning to note the length of the nature path on the sign, which we assume would be helpful (please correct me on that though) but we also want to note the location of a bench. Is this practically useful? * The bench is just off the main path, literally next to it. What would be the best way to indicate its location so it could be found. By distance from the sign? * If you do use signage in community spaces or wish there were more, what other information might you want to have on the sign apart from the above, and contact details? We are reaching out to local organisations to raise awareness of the nature walk too.

After a long long work day I finally had a chance to read the specs on the new phones. I think I will probably be staying with the Pro line. I do wish though Apple improved the accessibility of their video editing apss so that we can take advantage of this awesome hardware without having to always download to the computer Imovie, I'm thinking of you! :) .

this is a vulnerability only for users using "ws://" explicitly so such users would presumably override a secure-only filter if there would be one... (which there isn't... yet)

I made a tool for generating a Yggdrasil key/address so you can template your configs and dynamically deploy nodes that will be able to all mesh with each other.
It's kinda clunky trying to figure out how to consistently generate and deploy the configs otherwise. You'd have to generate a config normally just to get the key, but you won't know the address it will be, then try to apply your changes to that config, etc etc
I have a local FreeBSD port for it too, it's just simple Go code

The Carney government's suspension of the EV mandate has nothing to do with “pragmatism” or “moderation” as I heard an interviewee say on the CBC this morning.
It's about the Ontario car industry realizing they don't make EVs or even Hybrids that can compete with Korea, Japan, or Europe (let alone China).
People want them. BC is at 20% new (the mandated level), Quebec is at 30%. Those are the #2 and #3 most populous provinces in Canada btw.
It's politics, and... specifically with Carney, cowardice, nothing else. BC’s Energy Minister Adrian Dix called it out
“I want to say this: Their target for this year, we achieved four years ago,” Dix said of the existing federal electric vehicle mandates. “The issue here in Canada -- and I think the federal government needs to engage in this a little bit -- is first and foremost with Ontario.”
British Columbia’s energy minister says the federal decision to delay its electric vehicle sales mandate largely reflects circumstances in Ontario, and Ottawa should follow through on a more Canada-wide policy after its review.
In a rare outing in DC to a public restaurant, President Trump dined at Joe’s Seafood this evening with a disruption inside by protesters waving Palestinian flags and small banners, according to radio pool reporter Sagar Meghani.
This question has been thrown at me several times this morning from the Apple keynote event. Remember that the LIDAR which is helpful to so many blind or low vision folks for detecting objects etc is present in the iPhone 17 pro and 17 pro Max, it is not present in the iPhone 17 or iPhone 17 air.
@FreakyFwoof @ppatel Just reread the original post. It certainly makes sense given that both Air and 17 are less powerful and thinner profile devices. Pro is a Pro for a reason! :)
@vick21 @FreakyFwoof @ppatel Perhaps a stupid question, but what's the advantage of having a lidar? I'm genuingly curious what the benifits are for blindness apps.
Is there anyone on my timeline using Remote Incident Manager on Mac OS 15.6.1? I’ve been trying to use this with AIRA but don’t want to waste my minutes as RIM crashes as soon as it tries to establish the connection. There are known issues with this OS, as noted here, manual.getrim.app/en/macos/iss…, but not as severe as what I am experiencing. I would like to test with someone before calling AIRA again. Anyone? Thank you!
Ah, wonderful! And just like that, I've used up my alloted 30 minutes with Remote Incident manager by troubleshooting their crashing issues. I connected remotely from another machine but, apparently, was counted as connected even though there was no active session. Not good! :)

Citi’s price cut and rising competition test Nvidia’s dominance. While NVDA still leads AI infrastructure with soaring revenues and strong demand for Blackwell chips, challenges from Broadcom, hyperscalers, and China are real. Long-term strength remains, but it’s no longer a “buy at any cost” stock.
Nvidia stock faces turbulence after strong earnings, with Citi cutting its target price. Is NVDA still a buy, or has the AI chipmaker’s rally run out of steam? Get the latest analysis.
Hi! Is there any chance we can encourage you to trend #NVIDIA when that's the company you mean, please?

Is Meta the Next Nvidia? A Deep Dive into Its AI Potential
Meta is quietly becoming a serious AI contender, with $72B in AI infrastructure spending, superintelligence labs, and open-source Llama models. Despite 30% YTD stock gains, it trades at a big discount to Nvidia. With 3.48B daily users and massive cash flow, Meta offers muted downside and huge AI upside.
Could Meta stock become the next big player in AI? With massive infrastructure investments and ambitious AGI plans, Meta offers a unique upside at a significant valuation discount.

there's an old comment (~2015) on HN by the rsync.net team saying they removed WebDAV support from their service because of issues with mod_dav in Apache and it was abandoned / couldn't reach the devs...
but the git history disagrees with that. It came back to life.
you could run another SFTP server on a different port or in a container. Just add the keys you want. It's what I use for personal transfers between my stuff.
it would need to be SFTP in a jail/container that's behind a wireguard tunnel that goes to a cloud server... would not be fun to set that up; would have to definitely use a separate port from 22 and then I couldn't integrate it with my LDAP auth as easily unless I setup all the pam ldap shit...
edit: also some of the things I use this for do not support SFTP, sooo
@verita84 I'm so mad at about it too, it's insane. Trying to figure out the right goddamn commands to make a role and policy and then apply it is frustrating. Everything feels so opaque without the UI. The mc command just isn't good and their docs suck
Yeah. So glad I went back to NFS instead of that shit. I was a big fan of them for years and even helped in their Slack channel and earned a minio sweater.
We're they GPL or some other license that will prevent a fork to fixing their mess
@verita84 there was a bug at one point where deletes didn't actually work, but it returned a 200 response code. I looked through their codebase and they weren't actually testing the functionality. They were just faking a success code to the command line tool. I asked them in their slack why they weren't actually testing the real functionality of Minio and they just made stupid excuses.
One problem with webdav is that there isn't a standard way to write partial files. The spec only allows complete overwriting of files. Apache and others provide an extension to do partial updates, but as you mention in your post, the v is for version, and so it wasn't designed to do partial updates, only wholesale replacement.
I can dig up references that talk more about it, if you want.
I was looking at it for general usage, where users expect to be able to do partial updates of large files and not have it take a minute to update. Some clients can do partial updates, but I abandoned the idea of using webdav because none of the clients publish what features like these they support, so how knows when macos or windows will break/deprecate/remove partial updates.
@encthenet It would be nice to have it for sure, I really feel like S3 should have never escaped Amazon and something like a refreshed WebDAV should have been done
Yesterday, the Oaxaca state government, headed by the "leftist" MORENA party, unveiled 75 new assault rifles for the state police purchased from Israel Weapons Industries.
De acuerdo con Karina Barón Ortiz, titular del Secretariado Ejecutivo del Sistema Estatal de Seguridad Pública (Sesesp), se trata de 75 fusiles semiautomáticos con un cañón de 14.5 pulgadas, calibre 5.56.
