Illiterate Domine

So that’s why Quetzalcoatlus stopped texting me back.

Close, its Danny Devito smacking Nate Mooney with a 2x4.

Its a scene from It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia.

There are many ways to setups full disk encryption on Linux, but the most common all involve LUKS. Providing a password at mount (during boot, for a root partition or perhaps later for a “data” volume) is a but more secure and more frequently done, but you can also use things like smart cards (like a Yubikey) or a keyfile (basically a file as the password rather than typed in) to decrypt.

So, to actually answer your question, if you dont want to type passwords and are okay with the security implementations of storing the key with/near the system, putting a keyfile on removable storage that normally stays plugged in but can be removed to secure your disks is a common compromise. Here’s an approachable article about it.

Oh, yeah. Language is just fun to observe because its easy to not notice.

I understood it to mean “the end of something”, though I guess “repeating the game” might be more concrete. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ It’s poetry.

“Starting a game over” is an interesting phrase. I know exactly what it means, but the words themselves are nonsense.

.bak gang rise up.

The difference, as I understand it, is Beeper hasn’t claimed to not be doing that. Sunbird/Nothing touted E2EE and that was a lie.

The full article is paywalled, but the abstract of this meta-analysis states “In the past 10 years, estimates of the social cost of carbon have increased from US$9 per tCO2 to US$40 per tCO2 for a high discount rate and from US$122 per tCO2 to US$525 per tCO2 for a low discount rate.” Published May 15 of this year.

Plasma isn’t a KDE OS, but Neon is.

Blyesky doesn’t federate with ActivityPub/Mastodon or anything else at the moment. They say federation is coming, but its a different protocol than the Fediverse.

Often, if an rss link isn’t on the page, there’s still a feed available. /rss and /feed are the most common places to find it.

I made that move and had no issues. You can copy/paste your way through DNS setup and the rest is just configuring your proton account how you want.

You’ll want to be familiar with proton and some of the tradeoffs in its privacy model, but it’s most likely more feature-full than a hosting provider. Dreamhost, for one, is quite basic.

Most self-hosters are probably using dns services through their registrar, but you don’t have to. A registrar with poor api support might still be a good choice, if that was the only negative.

Well, I’m back and can confirm the sneaky DNS resolver. I have two roku devices and they both were making requests to 8.8.8.8.

Thanks for this post! TIL.

Interesting. I set an adblocking dns via DHCP and, as far as I know, the Roku respects it. Ads are blocked and I can see it failing to delivery telemetry in my dns logs (most persistent thing on the network).

I set a rule to catch outside dns to see if anything, the roku included, has been misbehaving.

Carson’s political beliefs and work with drug policy reform have made him a target for conspiracies and vitriol online. Popular pundits like Andy Ngo, Matt Walsh, and Nick Fuentes have all brought up Carson’s death, blaming it on “leftism,” anti-cop beliefs, and soft-on-crime sentiments. “The Ryan Carson story shows how leftism short circuits your brain and interferes with your ability to make common sense, instinctive judgment calls,” Walsh wrote on X (formerly Twitter).

DNS blocking (Pihole, adaware, nextdns…) Can take care of those ads on dedicated streaming boxes.

The first line is Marx, but the rest is Adam Smith. Book 1, Chapter 6 of Wealth of Nations.

As soon as the land of any country has all become private property, the landlords, like all other men, love to reap where they never sowed, and demand a rent even for its natural produce. The wood of the forest, the grass of the field, and all the natural fruits of the earth, which, when land was in common, cost the labourer only the trouble of gathering them, come, even to him, to have an additional price fixed upon them. He must then pay for the licence to gather them; and must give up to the landlord a portion of what his labour either collects or produces. This portion, or, what comes to the same thing, the price of this portion, constitutes the rent of land, and in the price of the greater part of commodities makes a third component part.

There’s a spike in 2021 and then things started to come back to earth, but its an overall upward trend throughout that time.
