I bet there was a fraction of this wasteful paperwork for that place in Thailand where I got laid up with food poisoning for weeks.

I read lots of (genre) fiction books but never heard of this guy before today, or any of his books.

there is an alternative, speaking as someone who purchases piles of music in lossless format from bandcamp and similar sites, from musicians who could not five a f*ck about tiktok or other lame surveillance capitalism platforms.

old Melbourne saying: "Is it the truth, or did you read it in the Herald Sun?"..

like any Murdoch rag it sometimes might put out a news article to keep up appearances, but there is usually a better source..

the source blog looks even sketchier than Risa Hoshino

a long time ago an organisation I worked for purchased a google search appliance (and actual bit of rack hardware) and I was tasked with setting it up. the inherit limits in this bit of junk made it almost useless, I expended a lot of effort trying to get it to work as it should. Part of it was that it was purchased without considering these limitations vs the orgs use case.

you should compare notes with Anna Politkovskaya about this

so when/if bandcamp jumps the shark, hopefully there will be a similar music site to jump to.

this is most unfortunate, but not having alternate copies outside of a capricious, free service like youtube was the first mistake.

how does the "provably secure" operating system co-exist in a legislative environment in Australia where software products are required to have govt (and therefore anyone) accessible backdoors?

from the wire.com pricing page, it costs $$$ for more than 5 users, I assume that means connecting to their servers.

Does that mean if a group of friends used the wire service for IM they have to pay to join a group chat of more than 5 users?

It does mention the server can be self hosted - If self hosted is it free from all licencing costs?

I know just getting rid of facebook doesn't solve this issue as youtube, etc also suffer from it - but it is a good start.

This has occasionally been mentioned elsewhere about some of the sketchier exchanges. I have never seen it mentioned with any of the exchanges I use - is there any non-anecdotal confirmation of this phenomena?

I use it a bit for buying stuff (hosting, VPNs, domains, SSL certs and other stuff when I can).. but litecoin is actually more useful for this as less volatile, faster transactions and lower fees.

we moved from OpenVPN AS to PRITUNL and so far it has been good.

It has a few annoying quirks, but generally happy with it. Stability and reliability very good so far.

The documentation is frustratingly terse in places and does not clearly state which features are available in which license tiers.

The management interface being on the same port as the interface you use to onboard new users is annoying, especially when there is no 2FA available for the admin user unless you are on the most expensive plan, when security should be baked in from the start for even entry level use.

but otherwise pretty good.

AFAIK the email alert feature is not enabled by default in fail2ban.

Is there any chance a default config of fail2ban in a typical Linux distribution would be vulnerable to this?

thanks for nothing incompetent Thai gov!

- someone who has been to Thailand frequently pre covid.

hunt for any youtube cryptocurrency content and instantly get your youtube feed filled with a torrent of garbage containing thumbnails of graphs and amazed facial expressions..

"crash" not very accurate choice of words... exchange rate dip maybe better?

the signup confirmation email for BooKWyrm seems to have stopped working.

I am disgusted by the mostly apathetic response in Australia to this terrible legislation.

As an Australian I am disgusted by these clowns who are in government.

as an unemployed computer science graduate when this came out this CPU was a big deal to me. I had just finished a subject on MINIX and had read Linus original Linux post,and getting a cheap 386sx mobo allowed me to get into Linux for relatively low cost at the time by upgrading my 286.

they are trying to catch up:

probably banned in Thailand but a great background:

not to be confused with Intel's Clear Linux :-)

https://clearlinux.org/

except when it is..

perhaps because it is the name of the style of Thai chili sauce he is making, named after the Thai town.

the first Linux was written on Minix and used the Minix filesystem and GCC that was available on minix. So built on an established software stack and kernel.
