Preventing their shitty brute force protection from allowing someone to get a users MS account password because they are FORCING users to use a non-local account?

The computer would have to store a hash locally to authenticate that account offline, so this is very likely why this is here. Because they’ve enabled a path to brute forcing their cloud accounts without their servers knowing.

The windows shithole is just layers of bad design all the way down.

When I first started learning PCs and Linux, I just went to the local thrift stores and Value Village. Even today people turn in all kinds of perfectly working compute hardware, mostly just old. Consumer stuff doesn’t retain much resale value and many cannot be bothered with trying to sell it, so it ends up in the dump, at the recyclers, in thrift stores, or on classified ads like Craig’s list, kijiji and the like.

EBay usually only sees the stuff that can fetch a worthwhile dollar.

Great analogy.

He’s just the latest in Rupert Murdoch’s line of pets he has trying to spread his shit across Canada.

Harper was one too but thankfully his plan to implement Sun news, which would have been a news channel that was the Canadian equivalent of Fox, was never brought to fruition.

But sadly much of rural Canada drinks the Fox news firehose.

That’s fair, and people will use things different than the intention of the thing if it suits them. My point was more to highlight that you cannot group all things where buying and selling happen as “marketplaces” and expect the same protections/moderation etc.

This new tool is to replace the local ads/garage sale like equivalents with something self hosted. EBay is not one of these, regardless of how people choose to use it. As an auction site it is on a different level in both functional and legal experience. You cannot expect that from Craigslist, Facebook Marketplace Kijiji, or you local newspaper ads or garage sales.

But a classified ad site is not a marketplace, and that’s where we need to be mindful of the distinction.

EBay is an exception here, its also not a classified ads site.

EBay is an auction house. Auction houses have stricter rules.

Classified ads is you grandma posting her VCR for sale, or selling your used boat locally. Its a parallel to a newspaper classified section. There has never been any control on sites like this other than “buyer beware”. Craigslist, Kijiji and Facebunk Marketplace are all classified ad equivalents and have zero guarantee or protections usually.

Given these are meant to be local ads, the onus is on the buyer to go to the sellers house and verify what they are buying.

Is it beaver you’re lookin’ for 🎵

I’m running Kube on baremetal.

Yeah, endeavouros repos just include their installers and setup tools. The OS uses arch repos.

Zimaboard.

30 years of using Linux and I think this chart is whack. RPM based distros run by enterpises are the worst. I was happier with Slackware than Fedora. 🤣 I only use those when work forces me too and after the CentOS and SLES fiascos - F that noise. I’ll only recommend debian for work servers unless there are STIG/FedRAMP security requirements and then it’s begrudgingly over to Ubuntu.

When work isn’t in the way: EndeavourOS on my desktop, Debian on my servers, and debian/alpine for my containers or better yet; golang and scratch.

unfortunately what was real was Martin Freeman wearing rubber feet.

🤣🤣🤣

Ok, good tip. I’ll try that out and see if I can enjoy it more.

I like 4k for documentaries and cinematic shows, but Ill never watch something like TNG or Jessica Jones on 4k again. Takes all the magic away, feels like you’re standing next to the camera guy - suddenly I just see an actor in room and the immersion is broken.

Nextcloud Cooking app

This. Its a bit slow but the auto import is a life save and the app is really nice with the ability to easily scale the portions or keep the screen awake.

That is how I do it yes. As much as feasibly possible. I do really miss the local PC shops and electronics stores… sadly my options for that stuff now are Staples, Best Buy and Amazon…

Unfortunately rich and developed countries with an iron grip on the markets by a few billionaires that control them you see. They ensure our options are limited.

Canadians have very limited choices in terms of services. Even our grocery store shelves are bought out by major corps and local options struggle to get their products on the shelves.

As another example, our banks have no interpayment systems outside the interac system, and they have no standard apis for payment services. So things like apps for managing budgets involve downloading a csv after our billing date passes and a lot of manual work. Most banks offer their own budget apps and they only work with their services.

We have effectively have 3 phone and internet providers… or little guys that resell access to the big 3.

The monopoly man won the game in Canada.

Getting money to organizations outside Canada and the US, once you remove credit cards and paypal, is exclusive to wire transfer from within Canada. If i want to get my money to any entity outside of Canada those are my options. None of these alt payment providers exist in Canada, and we are barred from buying crypto from our accounts.

JCB seems like the Interac system here in Canada, which I doubt Steam would take payment from. Its essentially a bank transfer. Nope, apparently JCB is a Credit Card company like Visa et al.

Yeah, JCB is not available in the Americas
