…dead echidna — a spiny creature similar to a hedgehog, which is usually found in forests, woodlands, shrublands and grasslands.

damnit! I did not have “universe gives us an actual land shark” on my 2024 bingo card. this decade is just gonna stay weird, isnt it…

well, perhaps. but there are a plethora of escape routes if/when it gets too bad for them.

hey, windows users… your OS actively hates you!

that is all.

then you go up to buying a half pound or a pound

good, strong flex there.

have a look at quassel for persistent IRC connectivity and quasseldroid for mobile client access back to your quassel instance.

I am shocked there is even a single downvote on this comment. parent is 110% right. a kernel level compromise in the vast majority of exfiltration events its just needless (but nifty) icecream on top of the pain pie being served to the user.

well, I mean… anything can leak memory. but yeah, enterprise/carrier grade devices are designed to be in continuous use for years and they generally do that pretty well.

we are not talking about backend systems here.

we are talking about user devices in the wild, likely in an unknown state, with highly variable usage patterns by the user. someone with experience can usually determine how deeply to poke based on 30 seconds of questioning the user.

“reboot” is absolutely valid when the issue is trivial, non-recurring and the equipment is not sensitive. if a reboot destroys logs then the device was not important to you to begin with.

bingo!

“have you tried swtching it off and on again” solves 90% of support requests - at least for a little while ;-)

I understand. hugs.

But I’ll take Biden over Trump any day, because at least Biden has never incited an insurrection

not trying to be snarky here, but this says it all. this is what late stage capitalism has delivered to us and the world. I have a very hard time seeing how we course correct away from the looming dead end.

donald “I could shoot someone” trump vs joe “nothing will fundamentally change” biden remains a likely species ending proposition.

exactly. I have been begging multiple ISPs for direct IPv6 allocations for 10+ years now. its always “we are internally testing - not available for distribution yet”. the most recent request from me was less than 3 months ago when I needed a IPv4 /29 for a remote site. figured I would see if I could also get a nice sized IPv6 allocation as well. nope. just gotta keep paying a premium for that dwindling IPv4 address space.

Hurricane Electric is to be commended for their public IPv6 tunnels, but without direct allocations from your immediate upstream, its just play.

lag bolts into shields into concrete may be secure if its done really carefully. it still leaves possible issues with the frame integrity - there are quite a few low quality frames and cabinets out there and mechanical stress on those vertical rails and all of the connection points in-between when equipment is extended on rails is no joke.

I am used to datacentre grade mounting gear (even in my home lab), so I am a bit spoiled. however… take a look at Rack Solutions for harder-to-find quality mounts, rails and adapters. a source for excellent quality steel open racks/frames and enclosures is x-mark (now owned by belden). thats the stuff I use for myself.

edit: as was mentioned in another comment, OEM rails are almost always your best bet, however high quality 4-post sliding shelves have saved my butt on ocassion. Rack Solutions also offers those.

I understand caution when approaching things like secure boot - it can absolutely be abused by monopolies. however… barring inherent or implementation flaws and ensuring that signing keys are under user control it conceptually (and practically) allows for some useful things.

a fully extended chassis on rails in a wall mount anything (frame or enclosure) is going to place an extreme amount of pull force on the wall attachment points.

I would personally not place anything but a static, fixed load into a wall mount.

equipment on rails is a lifesaver and, if you really want to do it, consider a freestanding enclosure thats designed to take deep servers, extended loads and has anti-tip features.

just my 0.02

israel has become the very definition of a rogue nation.

…exactly what the us wants from its middle east attack dog.

“We’ve also said we don’t want to see a major ground operation in Rafah that would really make it hard for the Israelis to go after Hamas without causing extensive damage and potentially a large number of deaths. We have not seen that yet,” - John Kirby, National Security Council spokesperson

“but we are secretly eagerly awaiting it and already have the popcorn on order!” - also this fucker (probably)
