I agree with this. Self-hosting requires the user to understand their network, their software, how it all interacts.

If you provide a hardware product and call it a solution, people are going to expect a turn-key solution like a plug-and-play router.

You’re going to end up supporting a bunch of newbies who, by no fault of their own, can’t tell you an error code in the console let alone whatever UI you give them.

I think a better solution would be a course that walks newbies through self hosting.

Creative Commons-BY-NC would be better.

Ubuntu is a good idea to get the money for the new building

Exactly. This shouldn’t be used to store your taxes, for example. But it might be good if you want to post details about your baby shower without your parents getting the details.

Differentiators? The idea behind the tor browser specifically is to make it harder to fingerprint you by giving trackers the exact same information for each browser session across all its users, making it harder to differentiate between one user and another.

It might depend on the VPN provider. If it’s someone like Google, no way.

But Mullivad that has a proven track record of not keeping logs, that might be worth it.

I’ve also heard tor over i2p but don’t know enough about the latter to have an opinion

The government is cagey about how, exactly, this criminal activity was unearthed, noting only that Herrera “tried to access a link containing apparent CSAM.” Presumably, this “apparent” CSAM was a government honeypot file or web-based redirect that logged the IP address and any other relevant information of anyone who clicked on it.

It looks like a combination of bad opsec and clicking on a download link.

I know there has been some back and forth whether it’s good to use a VPN with tor and feel like this is just going to open up that conversation again.

It looks like the fundraiser is closed.

When I was growing up it was all Macs due to their scholastic program.

I believe that there is a project that aims to do just this but I can’t remember its name.

This was one of my issues when I was a Christian. There is no external authority that the Bible was the inherent word of God and no way to ensure that the words within it were transcribed or even translated within the Authority of God.

There is a whole study of Bible hermeneutics that is about finding authority within the Bible.

You know how in the show Community Abed was always trying to meta the show? Imagine that, but really not funny and it’s taken seriously.

This was true maybe 20 years ago.

I’ve been using Linux as my daily driver for a bit longer than that and it’s only been recently in the last year I’ve come across two issues that are preventing me from doing what I want.

Edit: now only one. I solved one of them just now.

How “scriptable” is virt-manager?

My biggest issue with VirtualBox is that I have to install OSes as if I’m actually installing them. There aren’t any images (at least that I’m aware of) that can run with a command, like deploying an EC2.

You need a line break between your paragraph and your list.

Depending on the car you might be able to physically disable telemetry. Here are some thoughts/ideas I’ve been collecting:

• Hit “SOS” button and opt-out of all services through customer service. This of course requires trusting the company to actually do it.
  • It’s possible that the info could be stored locally and then uploaded when it gets serviced though
• Remove the fuse to the modem/data communication module (DCM)
• Disconnect wiring to the LTE antennas
• A number of people have mentioned that they can get the dealer to disconnect the telemetry as a precondition to buying. For instance, here.
• Jump the data communication module (DCM) cable with a ~$70 dongle to bypass just the telematics components
• Disconnect the DCM cable, which will likely gimp the infotainment if not other systems, or remove the entire DCM unit

I love OurGroceries!!! It’s so handy. ngl…the app would be worth an annual subscription and makes me wonder how they keep their app running with just a one-time payment.

That’s my method as well. That and a folder to hold all the receipts. When I sell the car, I print out the spreadsheet and then trash the receipts.

I always felt that this is where cloud computing should be. If you’re not building all the time, then 32GB is overkill.

I know most editing and rendering of TV shows happen on someone’s computer and not in the cloud but wouldn’t it be more efficient to push the work to the cloud where you can create instances with a ton of RAM?

I have to believe this is a thing. If it isn’t, someone should take my idea and then give me a slice.

When I was last looking for a fully remote job, a lot of companies gave you a “technology allowance” every few years where they give you money to buy a computer/laptop. You could buy whatever you wanted but you had that fixed allowance. The computer belonged to you and you connected to their virtual desktops for work.

Honestly, I see more companies going in this direction. My work laptop has an i7 and 16GB of RAM. All I do is use Chrome.
