On regular desktop environments I really like Guake - it’s a drop down terminal emulator similar to how old games used to do it. It’s nice for quick use here and there. Though these days I just run tilling wm with xfce-terminal. It gets the job done and still looks good.

I see your edit but in case you’re interested - a capacitor is technically a 0 resistance battery for DC.

What was that about him doing twitter’s technology policing and leaving running the company to the new CEO?

Your own article says it’s VMs. The tpm itself can be bricked. Ok that sucks. Still not persistent like you describe.

I haven’t worked directly on gov cloud but I’m familiar with its design. The two systems are completely isolated from each other with internet in between. I know you can port forward in AWS so a solution would be to spin up a VPN server in AWS and connect to it from gov cloud.

No they don’t. Worst case known attacks have resulted in insecure keys being generated. And even if malware could somehow be transferred out of it you wouldn’t have to trash your whole computer - just unplug the TPM

I’m unable to look at the exact config screen but I remember you could configure the stick to map to absolute mouse position in deck’s configuration.

Tpm modules are pretty good. And you can buy them separately like another card. Motherboards usually have a slot for them. They are tiny like usb drives. They essentially are usb derives but for your passwords and keys. You can even configure Firefox to store your passwords in tpm

Yeah I had a similar feel.

Is this a homework assignment?

That’s actually a decently good analogy, though a random redditor is still smarter than ChatGPT because they can actually analyze google results, not just match situations and put them together.

8 years ago I posted on facebook that whoever is interested in keeping in touch should text me and I deleted my account a week later. 4 people texted - all 4 were my high school friend. I’m very good friends with them still. We have a tiny discord server for communication. Since then I had maybe 4 more people who I thought “huh, I wonder what are they up to now” over the years, but my curiosity wasn’t big enough to start facebook again. For the rest I didn’t really care.

JavaScript is much much higher level than C, but there are vulnerability announcements in npm all the time. C does, however, let you implement more kinds of vulnerabilities associated with memory handling.

I think a lot of American privacy/security folks start with realizing the US government isn’t about privacy, so they want smaller government, but the only party pushing for smaller government pushes bigoted views to so the privacy folks get sucked into that mental space… not condoning them at all but I think this situation is the result of two-party government. I’m in security sector, but I do research and so there are a lot more left-leaning people around me. Sorry I don’t know any podcasts to recommend though.

It’s not much of a war. Beehaw is just waiting for better mod tools before refederating.

I define success of a social network proportional to the level of fun in having there. So far Mastodon and Lemmy are the most successful for me.

The article is behind a paywall so I can’t read it all. Does it sound like the law has potential to be abused? Religions are not formally defined because that’d open a whole another can of worms. Can someone claim rummaging through a cash register - their religious ritual?

Solutions? From current politicians?!
