I don't expect my machine to reboot unattended. I immediately imagine the government prying it from my hands, booting it and then searching for vulnerabilities in lightdm / dumping the RAM (just checked and I have a line "TSME enabled" in kernel logs so dumping data from the memory sticks probably will be useless)

I've never thought much about secure unattended reboots, thank you for suggesting

as long as it's not the government who is doing the censorship / content moderation then I'm OK

since the government is too powerful and can enforce its ideas with legal violence

I always struggle to understand the point of using disk encryption with TPM, as opposed to the disk encryption with LUKS + passphrase which you remember

With TPM you depend on it so much. What if it breaks? Should I backup the recovery key beforehand? My life has enough keys already Moving the disk to a new laptop also becomes pain

man! I love the instant mouse movements in unreal 1 games

maybe my PC just sucks but it feels in modern games your mouse movements go via so many abstractions and it feels like your movement is constrained by some liquid

yes, writing data to a local disk is faster than sending bytes over a network to your (redundant and replicated) network attached storage

run your own dht crawler

man if you organize a group which can assemble in public like this https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Committees_of_correspondence#/... in Russia, you won't be coming home tonight

Americans are so naive about the "turn on their motherland" part. It's not really a reply to you, I just remembered some american whom I met and he was treating us as kids, saying things as "alone you are weak but together you are strong!"

yes if you could magically organize 10_000 people they could overthrow anyone. But organizing is hard. Starting from a fact that they need some secure comminution channel, and the government fights VPN quite actively. How would you reach these potential people? You could do sort of broadcast a public message "if you don't like tsar let's take a walk tomorrow" but this signal would also be received by the police, so they can prepare. And we don't have the beautiful gun ownership culture of America.

And if you do something alone you just perish in prison.

great question, I don't have a good answer. supposedly there are modern gpus in Russia, here you can rent a H200 (a GPU which was released after the war had started) https://selectel.ru/services/dedicated/hgx-h200/

But how many of them exist and how easy is to replace, I have no idea

why are you mentioning roce and ml training? These are cpu-only machines with 10 Gbit uplinks shared between every virtual machine. I'm not super familiar with the helmet offering, but last time I checked their GPU servers were baremetal

Maybe calling the setup "suboptimal" is incorrect and it is optimal given their fleet and customers

a river crab? Is this a joke related to the chinese great firewall?

- dht network crawler, to have your own index of torrents

- vpn exit node

- personal email server

it's a part of internet. To properly block it, you need to block it on the IP level

It feels like your treat the facebook as some common good, and censorship made by it thus preposterous, something which should be punished

But it's a multimillion dollar corporation in a foreign country, to me the idea they owe you something is strange

---

Governments are still more powerful than corporations, this is why I am more afraid of the censorship of the internet by governments than of it by corporations

how do you block access to it without going to TCP/IP level? And when governments do that, everything goes to shit

Yes, this would be a better outcome. Or at least make it illegal for politicians to use facebook / TikTok

From where I am, one third of politicians in recent elections have tiktok. It's a shame, everyone knows about human rights violation in China but the european politicians have no issues with using tiktok.

nothing good usually comes out of governments censoring internet

there was a source code leak and you can see some examples there which make the president's image more alluring. e.g. if you search for "Putin" they add an invisible "-crab" to your query

that's the most innocent example from the top of my head. There probably are many more serious censorship issues

I wish yandex worked well, but the enshittification wave reached it too. It used to have such a great reverse image search, now it's useless

evaporating it so it's relocated somewhere else. Damn clouds

yes

is there anything decent actually which is not on the internet? I thought it's an outdated place

so true

nice to see ai making the same mistakes as I did

Please don't do it. Now somebody will come and will try to improve your bread analogy. We will be discussing bread for eons

I think it a reference to "default city" from the russian internet, when people noticed that people from Moscow never specify the city when talking about topics which would normally require knowledge of which city are they residents of

Eventually it evolved, sometimes people say "hey, I'm from DC" or "hey, I live in DC2" (that means the second largest city, Saint-Petersburg)

The page doesn't tell what the product does aside from "cleanness check". Of course my website is not "clean", who would want a clean white page for a website?

man the woman in the video says "you got to try it to believe it", didn't you hear it

Have your seen safe_sleep.sh?
