There's an embedded video above the headline. It's easy to dismiss as an ad. I did, too.

Thanks for the tip!

This was a long-standing showstopper for me & Wayland. I got rid of my work computer instead, but if I get another one I'll be sure to test this out.

And 1m is only 12 crayons.

They've been delaying a vote on it because they haven't had enough support to get it through.

Looks like they'll prepare another round in October, which would be voted on in December. They'll want this to pass under the radar, preferably behind closed doors.

Seems enough countries have changed their stance that it could pass this time, unless we keep putting pressure on our representatives.

Google also has an app called just Gallery which doesn't pull this crap.

When I was little we'd play this game called auts.

The levels were basically just bitmaps with one colour signed as alpha.

I scanned a picture of my math teacher just so we could fly around it and blow it up. Good times.

https://www.59-north.com/ take you on as crew for different lengths of legs. I think they usually go back and forth with two boats per year.

Same. I bought some 70 bitcoins for 50€ when I first heard of it. Kept mining on a radeon 9770 or something at about 1BTC or 5€ per week. Electricity was included in my rent then, but I stopped because fan noise.

I lost a bunch on mtgox. Cashed out for a down payment on a house way too early (2016). I'd be rich if I had hodled.

Why would they name their robot after the second best autobot?

Everyone knows Ultra Magnus is the best one.

Telegram chats are encrypted. (in transport)

Only "secret chats" are fully e2ee, though.

I think you got the point. Criminals use the same services as the rest of us. CSAM is being used as pretext to outlaw or bypass end-to-end encryption.

It's a noble cause, but it puts all of us in a vulnerable position. As post-communist countries know from past experience, once these measures are in place the next government will use it for surveillance of all kind when it's their turn.

Yes, I know. If you have nothing to hide, you have nothing to fear. I'm not doing anything illegal at the toilet, but I still prefer to keep the door closed - even if I'm home alone.

Chat control 1.0 has been voluntarily inplemented by big platforms, but it has not been fruitful. Lots of false positives and not enough resources to look at the true positives. The delegates preparing this have demonstrated poor technical understanding.

Whistleblowers won't have confidence in anonymity. A journalist asked the author (Ylva Johansson) of the proposal if he, as a journalist, would still be able to receive tips from whistleblowers with secrecy. She stumbled ln her answer and said that CSAM should be illegal.

Police and officials are of course exempt from chat control 2.0. Secrecy for me, but not for thee. . .

Except the getaway driver is just a cabbie who will drive anyone who gets in. He didn't know he was part of a heist.

Would you hold the CEO of lyft responsible if one of their self-driving cars were used in a heist?

Looks like France is enforcing chat control 2.0 a bit prematurely.

The EU council is meeting to discuss it again on October 10. A new vote is likely in mid-December. Many parties and countries have turned their coat to support the proposal.

The fight is not over.

You forgot the /s

I usually travel by car and with my dogs out of necessity.

Airbnb is the most cost-effective when you need a room that allows dogs.

and not lose files

Which is exactly why you'd want to run a CoW filesystem with redundancy.

I switched in 1997.

The internet was taking off, and it was built on Linux and un*ces. It was just a lot more fun.

Also, C-programming. M$ had just gotten protected memory in NT4.0, but a lot of applications just didn't run on NT. It'd take another three years before protected memory hit mainstream with win2k. No novice programmer wants their computer to bluescreen every time they do a tiny little out of bounds error.

My spouse has switched from Plex to Jellyfin

Maybe it's time to try again? Or consider another spouse?

I worked at a niche factory some 20 years ago. We had a tape robot with 8 tapes at some 200GB each. It'd do a full backup of everyone's home directories and mailboxes every week, and incremental backups nightly.

We'd keep the weekly backups on-site in a safe. Once a month I'd do a run to another plant one town over with a full backup.

I guess at most we'd need five tapes. If they still use it, and with modern tapes, it should scale nicely. Today's LTO-tapes are 18TB. Driving five tapes half an hour would give a nice bandwidth of 50GB/s. The bottleneck would be the write speed to tape at 400MB/s.

Was just about to chime in with the same. I haven't had any contacts on briar, but plenty on meshtastic. Both serve the same purpose. Meshtastic needs a bit of extra hardware but has great range, briar works on your phone as-is.
