Global IT outage: Airlines, businesses affected by CrowdStrike, Microsoft issues
  • Because Microsoft isn’t responsible for every program that runs on their OS.

    CrowdStrike is an EDR that enterprises choose to install. The bug was caused by a dodgy content bundle update, which is something that’s meant to be 100% safe but evidently they found and triggered a bug.

  • Thanks for the sunset theme.
  • Thanks for posting this for awareness! I love this theme now

  • OpenSSH: race condition in sshd allows remote code execution
  • But, eventually exploitable is still a pretty major concern for anybody who has systems running longer than a few days at a time.

  • I completely missed Apple's WWDC Keynote. You can watch it here in case you have missed it too.
  • Satellite sos was only available on 14 or newer on release, which is even less support for the prior gen than apples intelligence features (which at least supports the pro lineup from the prior gen, as well as every apple silicon Mac released)

  • It's Time to Bring Back the Steam Machine
  • I think where valve went wrong was not requiring specific minimum specs. It led to a very inconsistent and hard to support platform.

    Steam deck leading to a standard “steam device” hardware platform with consistent OS and hardware is my dream, but I know their goal thus far has been to refine steamos and release it for OEMs to use on their devices.

  • Nintendo Switch Surpasses 140 Million Units Sold
  • The Wii didn’t officially support dvd playback (and didn’t support hardware video decoding of typical dvd codecs, so few dvds worked with the homebrew software to enable it)

  • Worth the effort to obtain a copy of MS Office on the high seas? *SOLVED
  • Massgrave is a tool that can create legit (oem) keys for windows and office out of thin air*

    • it’s not literally creating them from nothing, it’s using a system Ms themselves run to get working keys. Evidently they don’t have a huge problem with it.
  • Neofetch development discontinued, repository archived
  • It’s not unheard of in folks who are in software dev because they love the repetition and routine. Farming is pretty similar to programming a computer, just with tons more manual labor.

  • Recommendations please: Self-hosted web site analytics
  • Umami has been pretty good to me. Plausible was a close choice but I ran into technical difficulties getting it going.

    I didn’t get around to trying it, but goatcounter looked promising as well.

  • I've never played games. Suggest a couple of addictive games I can play on Linux
  • Classicube for that simple block-building itch

  • The Superior Lemmy Experience
  • Classicube is pretty sick

  • I have a slight suspicion that it is a scam
  • It was more common for commercial discs and some consumer discs to have the data layer sandwiched between the bottom surface and label layer, especially later in cd/dvd’s heyday, to prevent tiny scratches on the label or sharpie marks from destroying bits in the data layer.

  • How to watch pirated tv shows from usb on ps5?
  • Cinavia! Allegedly it’s still around and mandated in all consumer Blu-ray players.

  • I'm giving them a year until lifetime licenses start to mean nothing.
  • Plex has been good to me but I grow ever more concerned that they will drop lifetime Plex pass features as they become more focused on being a provider of media and not just a streaming middleman.

  • What do people think will be the fate of ryujinx?
  • Nintendo made no legal demands nor threatened to sue any involved party, their letter just formally requests that dolphin wouldn’t be published on steam.

  • Two very rare Covid vaccine side-effects detected in global study of 99 million
  • Definitely not in my neck of the woods, unless they had thousands of crisis actors at every hospital in my area.

  • Two very rare Covid vaccine side-effects detected in global study of 99 million
  • It’s relevant because it’s largely regional or circumstantial. The distribution of Covid deaths depends heavily on healthcare system capacity and population density, and when it was bad, it was really bad.

  • once again, reddit emailing an address they believe is owned by Andrew Tate

    This is the third attempt they’ve made to work with that guy that actually got routed to me because their salespeople don’t do their due diligence. Shocking.

    Edit; a little extra context: I have an email alias on a domain similar to one he might use, and regularly receive email addressed to him. Reddit marketing folks reached out in a less cookie cutter manner a couple times last year, this is more of a mailing list outreach attempt.

    [META] Radiation.party is back up!

    The host I was using for radiation.party became extremely unreliable, extremely quickly, leading to an extended downtime while I worked on finding a good alternative.

    I've shoved my lemmy instance onto one of my other dedicated servers for the time being, with the goal of eventually migrating it to its own beefier server.

    There will be, unfortunately, a flood of posts for missed content on current sources. This has already happened as of me posting this post, so I sowwy.

    If you'd like to help fund shoving this community onto a beef boy server, let me know here - I might set up a tipjar or something to allow folks to contribute at will.

    [META] I added a basic article filter

    Hi all! I frequently see irrelevant garbage posts being published on these so-called tech news sources, frustrating you and me alike.

    This morning, I've updated the bot to support loading a list of blocked phrases from its config. As of writing this, the block list currently contains:

    "blockedPhrases": [ "couches", "vegan", "diet", "progressives", "save $", "astrology", "disney plus", "hulu", "apple deals", "prime day", "linoleic acid", "freedom caucus", "mental health", "laptop deals", "smart gadget", "and your money", "folding phones", "chatgpt" ]

    If there are common phrases that are usually used in blog spam, but not in real tech news, feel free to let me know and I can update the config when I have a few minutes to SSH in and tweak it.

    [DISCUSS] What RSS feeds would you like added?

    The current list is pretty small, I’d love to expand it- so let me know what tech-oriented news sources you’d like to see!
