I don’t believe small lithium batteries can explode like that. Not even big car batteries explode like that. They make a big fire but not this kind of explosion.

Either explosives were implanted somehow by IDF in the supply chain, or Hezbollah is crazy enough to put explosives there, just in case the devices fall in enemy hands, and IDF learned that and trigger the explosions remotely.

git is already a decentralized version control software. Your local git repos are mirrors by themselves.

Put some git fetch in a server crontab, and you’re done. You can access them via ssh if your user have permissions.

Everywhere, except India, it’s about 3%.

With India the average is a bit more than 4%.

target the largest market segment to gain the most conversions.

Windows market share is bigger in desktop only. In fact, is kinda sad that still there are serious institutions using Windows for non-desktop stuff. I hope this incident changes it.

the real difference is you need a few decades of linux experience to fix anything in a timely manner.

[ citation needed ] Probably you are meaning desktop again. Although troubleshooting Windows is not easy task neither, there are way more desktop users familiar with it.

The real thing is

• 1. There is no single “linux” OS. There are lots of different OSes based on Linux kernel. And they are for servers, desktop, embedded systems, smartphones, etc.
• 2. More important. Security is a process, not a product from a vendor. The root cause of this incident is that some institutions are seeing that you just buy “security”, install it, and call it a day. No important stuff should auto-update. And no institution should auto-update lots of important stuff at the same time.

So, Linux is not really more secure. But is built in a culture where security is taken more seriously.

Sorry, I can’t hear you over the artillery noise.

As a spanish/romance speaking person: ahahahah LOL!

Where do you thing “gratis” and “libre” come from?

Wait.

Does Portainer ask your email? I haven’t used it in years. I though it was just a container that you run, with mounted docker socket, and that’s it.

Is it now doing some “telemetry” and sending user data, like email, to their servers? If so, I’m glad I’m not using that anymore.

Well, thank you for pointing me to this project. Didn’t know about it. I’ve just built it. So, the part of I’ll do my best to see what can I help with applies here to.

The project management may have some obvious problems (jOin dIsc0Rd sErVEr; w0rD “thEy” t0o p0liTicAl). But we really need an alternative to browsers funded by Google (Chrome and Firefox).

So I’ll do my best to actually build from sources and see what can I help with. Attacking the author is helping nobody.

And for the folks who are saying “wHy n0t rUst”, you can always show me the (rust) code.

VPS + VPN is the cheapest option I believe for the services. It doesn’t have to be “elaborated”.

You can port-forward public VPS ports to your private addresses/ports. If you don’t want to use iptables you can use firewalld.

The only “but” will be latency. For gaming it won’t perform as you may need.

It’s no longer open source. Big Deal in my books.

Vault features are cool. I really like it. But with Hashicorp now there is this big risk of “rug pulling” regarding its license.

The wise thing, in my opinion, is to avoid this company as much as possible.

you are a printer we are all printers

“Have taken up farming.”

Oh, it’s gonna use polkit. Sudo bloat is a grain of sand compared to polkit.

Why people want to replace sudo with polkit? Visudo is no near as obscure as configuring polkit.

I hope distro maintainers don’t follow this.

Parallel Desktop

There are several FOSS alternatives. All of them are more popular that Parallels.

Nobody likes Adobe, nobody wants to work with Adobe. Nobody can avoid Photoshop. That’s just the world we live in and I don’t like it.

This sounds like Stockholm syndrome. You are just too familiar with Photoshop, so using anything else is hard and less efficient.

In photography there is this mantra about “the most important part is right behind the camera”. A good photographer is not a good Nikon user, or good Canon user. A good photographer can deliver decent pictures with a potato camera if needed.

Sure, a potato camera is less efficient for any work that an actual good one. So it’s good to invest in a good brand. But the point is: if you are not capable to make average results with a potato software, the problem is not in the software.

Not true.

The immutability of the thing is just Merkle trees. And integrity of the writings is any form of authorized blocks. From a certificate from an authority a la PKI to proof of work. And anything in between.

The thing is that there are not too many applications for slow distributed inmutable databases.

DNS is the only thing that I know that is globally distributed, with slow updates of domains being acceptable.

omg they were roommates!
