The policy, which some critics said was “reminiscent of the Nazi era,” was just one part of the Labour Party’s total overhaul of the nation’s asylum system, which it says must be made much more restrictive in order to fend off rising support for the far-right.

One day the policy of fending off the far right by becoming them surely has to start paying off. Maybe once the last Labour supporter has left and turned the lights off.

Web archives preserve information the US Government has deleted, like reports on the economy, climate change, and Black history. In general they work against censorship of the internet. This is just another case of using “protecting the children” as a cudgel to kill politically inconvenient sources of information.

Yet. Some exec at Microsoft is thinking “the problem is that PCs aren’t locked down like phones and there’s nothing stopping you from running an alt OS on the desktop yet.” If they can’t force everyone to use their AI crap they’ll lobby the US Government and give Donald Trump some fake award, and before you know it desktop Linux will be a crime just like fixing your own tractor is a crime.

Since they give no indication of how they’re doing it or what information they’re gathering, no one can really explain. It may be some kind of traffic analysis where an AI provides heuristic recognition of probable VPN traffic.

I see they’re promoting something called the Helium network. What’s the relationship between that and Meshtastic? Are they completely different things?

So then it’s safe to give to trans people too, and we won’t hear Republicans pretending it isn’t?

I’d use a Kill-a-Watt or similar to check how much power it uses, before deciding whether it’s worth installing anything on it. Also check how much noise it makes, unless you have a separate room for servers. Enterprise servers aren’t always a good fit for home use.

Binary on fingers really comes into its own when you need to order 1023 beers over heavy background noise. Except when there’s a mix-up and you end up with -1 beer.

“The white nationalist movement used to be very fragmented and had a lot of infighting,” Balgord said. “The reason that we’ve been warning about the size and the threat of the white nationalist movement in Canada right now is because they have managed to sort of figure out a unified and coherent strategy. And they are successfully recruiting large numbers of people doing it.”

Not good. Canada needs a broad antifascist movement, including communities and mainstream political parties, to ensure that the Nazis don’t get anywhere near as far as they have done in the USA. There’s still time, but if we leave the country in the hands of neoliberals while doing nothing to counter fascism or to provide a socialist alternative, we’re leaving the door wide open to Nazis. For now though, there’s still time to disrupt their funding and their organization. And if the NDP can pick the right leader, someone who is an energetic and unashamed socialist (like Zack Polanski in the UK) it could still provide the electoral alternative people need to steer the country away from the rocks.

The thing about this one is no one seems sure of the source (it appears to be from multiple sources, including infostealer malware and phishing attacks), so you don’t know which passwords to change. To be safe you’d have to do all of them.

Some password managers (e.g. Bitwarden) offer an automatic check for whether your actual passwords have been seen in these hack databases, which is a bit more practical than changing hundreds of passwords just in case.

And of course don’t reuse passwords. If you have access to an email masking service you can not only use a different password for every site, but also a different email address. Then hackers can’t even easily connect that it’s your account on different sites.

A password manager is still a good idea, but you have to not use a hacked one. So only download from official sites and repositories. Run everything you download through VirusTotal and your machine’s antivirus if you have one. If it’s a Windows installer check it is properly signed (Windows should warn you if not). Otherwise (or in addition) check installer signatures with GPG. If there’s no signature, check the SHA256 OR SHA512 hash against the one published on the official site. Never follow a link in an email, but always go directly to the official website instead. Be especially careful with these precautions when downloading something critical like a password manager.

Doing these things will at least reduce your risk of installing compromised software.

Every country needs to watch out for that 36% it seems.

Presumably once YouTube finishes rolling out age verification, all these age restricted videos will require logging in to view them and anonymous front end apps will be locked out.

And soon, ATAB.

Black-and-white thinking is characteristic of the right wing. You can look at any topic and see it with them: COVID, vaccines, climate change, immigration, welfare, the economy, etc. They always frame things as either all bad or not bad at all, and can’t handle shades of grey or multidimensional analysis. They will seize on Bill Gates’s statement to claim climate change is not a problem.

I’m not saying this is the ideal solution, but I’ve had decent performance from the house to a shed 60 feet away using Asus ZenWifi AX XT8 nodes in the house (with one in the window at the back of the house) and an Asus RT-AX56U extender in the shed. Most days I get decent speeds, good enough to use for work and watching videos. Very occasionally there’s a bad day. I originally tried with the dual-band Asus ZenWifi AX Mini cubes, but they were not powerful enough. Their bigger tri-band units work better.

There are probably better solutions though, using directional dishes. I just did this because, like you, I didn’t want to have to mess with holes for ethernet cables, mounting dishes to poles, etc.

Oh, and I once had bad signal so I put the unit at the back of the house at what would roughly be the focal point of a large metal kitchen bowl and pointed the bowl at the shed, and the signal improved dramatically

The Asus boxes are overpriced when new, but you can get them for cheap used.

One form of lying by omission is not to discuss whether this is unique or unusual to Chinese vehicles.

Your title still says “Kagy” instead of “Kagi”.

You can talk horsepower and dogpower all day, but I won’t really understand until you convert it to bananapower, for scale.
