How many people who read a certain book on IA would actually be able to buy it during the crisis? I think that that number is really low, so the loss is really low as well, but sometimes authors prefer not to sell or give away even when there is no perspective or benefit. Some time ago, I needed an old book that wasn't popular, but nobody wanted to sell a new copy of it at even a remotely decent price...

Apple was doing the same thing.

I do

Isn't that shadowbanning?

A coworker sysadmin once told me that when he was inspecting the web server access logs (for an unrelated reason) he noticed that many requests to a resource on our website have a strange referer URL that was never present in requests to pages. He inspected that site and found that they were using our resource. We didn't really care about it, but that was really interesting.

Maybe it's the same with these sites?

Or maybe they just stolen code from FBI website to have a feature and pulled way more code than required without even knowing what it does.

I think that since building ventilators is very difficult and beyond the capability of the diy and foss communities and has a fairly low survival rate anyway, I think that we should focus on other ways in which we could help.

One way to help would be to aid physical containment. The first thing that comes to mind are online tools for communication, learning and doing basic daily life things. I think that there is still room for improvement.

The next thing comes to my mind is that people need to go out to buy food, medicine, etc. They also need to drink something and in some places water needs to be sanitized. Maybe DIY sanitizers are an option?

Food and other supplies might be bought online, but companies doing online sale and food delivery seem to have issues handling the load. I think that the biggest issue is finding drivers and delivery man to bring groceries do people's doors. Surely, self driving cars and trucks and robots taking packages and climbing staircase or using the elevator aren't an option, but I have other ideas.

People could order stuff through internet from their local shops and supermarkets and then pick them packaged in boxes from parking spaces or a drive through with store employees putting boxes in people's trunks or even a system where people go to a door with a belt, scan a QR code from an app, see the door open and their package arriving on that belt.

I remember that when the epidemic was starting, journalists reported that people rushed to shops and all the pictures of people with their carts filled with toiled paper standing very close to each other in a very long queue. To me it seemed like the best way of getting infecded.

I have many other ideas for 'improvements' and notice other 'mayor problems', but this comment is already way too long...

I hope that this isn't off topic in the ventilator thread.

Well. Grow your entire system by 60%. Even with 128GB it will be non negligeable.

I have `vm.swappiness = 1` for that. Who would want a job to be OOM killed?

This actually makes sense. It is also morally bad to sell cigarettes and alcohol to minors because it is proven to be bad for their health and the society has determined that before the age of 18 people are unable to choose what's good for them.

So they became skeptical about the content they see on TV, but not on YT? How can you be sure about that? Maybe they became more skeptic in general?

Also, how can one blame YT or any media for providing/proposing content that changes one's views? Arbitrarily blocking content that present a different view on events discussed in mainstream media would seriously threaten democracy.

What app was it?

Really? It's basically impossible to distribute apps for iOS outside the AppStore and very difficult (all security, warranty warnings, settings, etc.) to distribute them outside the PlayStore.

Ad hominem arguments are always unacceptable. People with various mental illnesses (depression, autism, asperger, OCD, etc.) can still hold perfectly valid claims. The fact that somebody might see the world in a different way does not discredit them.

Yes, but it isn't very effective because if the computer is left with the login screen visible after Ctrl+alt+del opened in a full screen browser, users will simply proceed directly to typing their credentials. Then an endless logging in dialog could be presented, so that the user thinks it is a problem with the computer.

This wasn't an ElAl flight, so I don't understand why they care.

How could you prevent users installing their own TLS certificates, changing the ones in the binaries or patching the TLS library form inspecting the data and detecting that a ghost user joined or that the number of keys increased?

Also, I think that this is a really bad approach as anybody who manages to compromise the server can add a ghost user. This is a step backwards as E2E won't protect against active attacks anymore.

Do you really want platforms to decide what can be put and what can't be? How should they decide that an article is IP infringement and what isn't?

Are there any plans for adding new transport protocols (for c2s and s2s communication other than HTTP)?

I didn't see Fractal being mentioned. IIRX they have received some founding from Puri.sm recently. Sorry if I messed it as I didn't read the entire article.

I only see a database error on this website.

I believe that the only party that suffers from those sanctions are actually the populations living in those dictatorships who don't have a say about who is their leader. Who does actually benefit from them and who do they really harm?

Why don't you use a free alternative as Matrix? If you self host, then you are the only one who controls who your users are.

I recommend avoiding staying close to windows. I think that such an attack is very unlikely to happen in a crowded area. Not sure if earmuffs can help.

The article only reported cases of diplomatic personnel being affected, but I found some other sources stating that tourists were also affected, but those sources are not as reliable as this one.

Anyway, with the number of tourists traveling there, it is very unlikely that you might get affected.

I don't think that they had to bribe anyone. There is just no quality assurance or standards.

Products sold in China must be cheaper than those exported, so that workers can afford them. That means that standards will be nonexistent.

How is that different from what Django does?

You might also want to help with F-Droid.

For most of them the day after, when I get a notification from my RSS app...

No. I also don't expect them to choose device based on security. That is very bad as vendors won't care about patching their older devices (look at Android devices, home routers...) and vendors won't care about patching their flagship devices fast as they have the possibility to request very long embargos.

Making compromises for those vendors and giving more time for security agencies and other bad actors to silently exploit the vulnerabilities (where FOSS projects would have made patches for users that care) is not the way to go. That philosophy actually makes everybody less safe.

No as I would know about it by following security news?

Yes, but that would result in them not getting notified for any other vulnerability.
