Every 2-3 years Radiosynthesys comes to the surface in science journalism. So far no one has come up with an explanation how it could work or if it could work.

They best they got is, some kind of melanin response to radioactivity, which would make sense as a protection mechanism.

It’s a cheap Chinese made, it prints when I turn it on and that’s like every two months for the last 3 years. So I guess it’s good. I also only use it to print from linux or my phone.

I got a cheap Xerox laser printer, the toner is cheap and lasts forever.

I agree with you on some points here. The problem is that these crawlers are hostile to the point of DDOSing sites

So the problem is not that someone archives your public accessible data, the problem is that in doing so either breaks your site or makes you pay for the excess traffic.

I think the web is now broken beyond repair. The commercialisation killed it and the tech monopolies are all that’s left.

So I think small invite only fully encrypted enclaves are all that is left, until someone comes up with a “new Internet”, that can resist the " Techbros", but for now I don’t see that.

Also I don’t see the Fediverse as a solution, it’s just under the radar for now, but if it gets bigger it will be coöpted and sunk.

Sure, but seeing that “gentlemen’s agreement” called international law is about to end, it will ultimately come to this.

We should also not forget that something like international law never existed for “non-white” states.

What Power? The only thing that is still left to project power are nuclear arms, and Germany has none.

She’s a Joe Rogan with a university degree.

Merz is fully bought and paid for by the US.

When the fascists lose interest in Iran and turn towards Greenland, I wouldn’t count on Germany fighting on the EU side.

The whole mobile ecosystem is a giant hardware backdoor on every phone. I think it’s too late now to change anything on that level.

I propose that the developers take turns to limit the exposition to whatever it is, that makes people go strange when they have to develop a filesystem.

Sorry but this whole thing is just snake-oil.

You can verify and sign your whole trust chain down to the last shared library and it doesn’t matter when you don’t know what the binary blobs on your TPM / CPU / BIOS / NIC are doing.

The only guarantee to a secure system is openness an all of that signing won’t help you there.

I don’t trust Microsoft, why should I start trusting IBM/Canonical or Poettering now.

If the possibility is there they will happily lock you out of your own hardware.

I’m not sure I get what you mean. In every distro I used so far rsync did use ssh by default so it would honor everything I set in the ssh config.

Yeah, don’t ever go to the Phoronix forums if you value your sanity.

*edit: missing word

Interesting, I wonder if you could do the same now with Internet. We know that DSL works over a wet rope.

Interesting, I would have thought that they would go against LGBT+ more, but maybe that hasn’t been leaked yet.

Do you have any sources for that? I don’t doubt it, I’m just curious.

BTRFS just doesn’t like me. Last problem I had was space running out because I hadn’t balanced it for a while. A filesystem should be just invisible to me, if the FS creates it’s own problems it’s not a good FS in my opinion.
