Yup, since a specific subscription I already pay for started inserting ads randomly into their programs, I've added a second 16TB seedbox to my house. Now if I hear that someone at home is interested in a particular series, or that an old program has been added to the service that someone wants to watch, I just queue it up for download and watch it on the TV using the VLC app.

In other news, Piracy is still free.

Yeah, I can read this both ways, but I'll assume that since he's a CEO, it's the way that makes him sound like a flaming dickhole.

Man, the total and complete lack of self awareness... It would be hilarious if it wasn't tragic...

The document thief himself bitching about stolen documents getting leaked... Damn, you can't dream this shit up on shrooms.

This meshes with the news that Boeing is run by accountants, not engineers, like it used to be.

Uh, between SolarWinds and XZ and the supply chain attacks being conducted by the NSA that were revealed by Snowden... They already know.

The whole point to Endpoint Protection is to quickly and easily send updates to block currently exploited vulnerabilities to the systems most likely to be affected. Adding a delay for in-house QA testing (and the associated costs) doesn't make any sense.

Uh... So who is paying for that right now?

I always heard this joke as "If you hold a stoat up to your ear, you can hear the sound of your own voice, screaming."

Uh, one side is unrelenting about suppressing everyone else's rights, and has demonstrated that they're willing to take control by force and violence if they don't get 'their ideals'. If you're on that side, you're an asshole, and being 'painted' as an asshole is the least that you deserve.

Please stop for a moment, step outside your yourself, and ask... "Am I the baddie?"

Reeks of desperation to bring back the porn after how literally every other mainstream platform has walked away from it.

I’m going to concede defeat here because obviously I’m not doing a good enough job in explaining my position.

It's because your position is indefensible given recent history and the trajectory of the political landscape.

"We have no intention of invading Ukraine."

To add to this, self-hosting is also best when you minimize everything - limited service, with limited functionality, on dedicated hardware that doesn't share access to your internal network or storage. Folks who use point-and-click apps to install a half dozen unauthenticated docker containers, all open to the internet, running on the same PC they store the only copy of their family photos and music/movie collection on... make me crazy.

Not strictly teh ciberrz, but upgrading to OpenBSD 7.5. Might rebuild a mail server this weekend.

I use it for managing the RFID keyfobs for my building. I can keep copies of each apartment's fobs -- which makes it trivially easy to disable lost fobs by using the 'delete' fob, followed by the lost fob (or all of the fobs for a specific resident), then re-enable new ones.

I've also played with the NFC toys, but the built-in capabilities are rather limited. I was able to copy a RFID hotel room key (a room which I was staying in) by cracking keys with the F0 itself, which just shows how terribly weak these things are.

I haven't been able to use the SubGHz module to do anything particularly interesting aside from cloning a remote control for a fan and an LED light.

It's a neat toy, and it absolutely exposes how trivially easy it is to break access control systems.

If a website you're using uses SMS for 2FA, then you seriously need to switch companies.

The country currently conducting a genocide, having been created after their religious siblings were genocided... And you're asking how they get away with... software...

Talk about asking the wrong questions.

Judge asks the hypernuclear question: "Have you tried NOT catering to Nazi's and racists?"

1. Electoral reform, at all levels. Start with municipal governments by offering tax dollars to help with the transition and to educate citizens. Once a municipality has successfully held their first election under the new system, they get some more money to continue their education plans, then move up to provincial, federal, etc.

2. Boost healthcare. The state of all healthcare systems is shameful. Bonus transfer payments for strengthening the healthcare system with higher wages and benefits, lower wait times, more equal access to care, and fewer people without family doctors.

3. Get serious on the environment. Nothing else matters once you can't drink the water and breathe the air. Stop subsidizing carbon, collect carbon taxes, and direct the collected money back to individuals. Big rebates for energy efficiency projects, electric cars & charging.

4. Kickstart housing. It's not rocket surgery that cities and suburbs need higher density housing, with accessible public transit nearby.

That's just off the top of my head...
