You can host a Proton mail bridge to use different apps running on different machines, including phones.

Self hosting e-mail, particularly SMTP, will likely require a static IP from a reputable provider. Mail servers may reject incoming mail based on the reputation of the sending server. You can avoid this by relaying through another SMTP server and configuring your DNS rules to allow that server to send mail on your behalf, but that’s not really self hosting anymore.

Don’t worry. Next year Google will protect you from such dangerous apps by ensuring that you can only “side load” applications that they allow you to run.

The article suggests the opposite: population decline in rural areas allows the bears to spread out and get closer to populated areas.

A dystopia that Elon Musk wants to import from China where one company controls everything you do via an app on your phone.

You can use OpenEBS to provision and manage LVM volumes. Host path requires you to manually manage the host paths.

That sounds like build automation. You can use some Git forge software.

It’s not just anti-LGBTQ+. This is going to be bad for everyone. We’re just years away from banks and insurance companies factoring in your social credit score based on your activity on sites where you had to verify you’re not a legally considered a child.

You verify your age on Discord. Discord doxxes you through negligent handling of user data. Your account is found to be a member of a server that might suggest you are less responsible. Your rates are increased. Even if you know this is the reason, you cannot sue Discord because you were coerced into waiving your rights. The shareholders are happy because the line goes up. Is it already happening? I doubt any companies are rushing to tell us that they’re doing it, but the data is available to them.

America is already working on solving that permafrost problem.

If wars kept presidents in office, presidents would only leave office voluntarily or through old age. The US is always at war.

It’s the natural progression of subreddit simulator. Somebody heard about dead internet theory and had to make it a reality.

That repository is only for the Boox60, a device from 2009. They haven’t been releasing kernels for modern devices.

They’re not that open because they steal Linux: https://web.archive.org/web/20220109040915/http://bbs.onyx-international.com/t/install-linux-or-alternate-os-and-gpl2-kernel-source/698

Unfortunately, if you use either of these methods to install Windows 11, you will wind up with Windows 11. You will eventually regret it.

It’s so user friendly. It tells you exactly what to do to solve the problem. Switch to a tty (if that even works on your system) and log in, type this long command from memory, making sure not to mistake those 0s for Os or the Unicode left single quote for back tick, restart your lockscreen, which of course you know how to do, and then come back. If that doesn’t work, start terminating some processes and praying.

It says you can return using “ctrl+alt+F[N] where N is the tty number in the top left corner.” I can’t find my F0 key.

It’s not even good. It’s just scripts for some starter Arch rice, not a serious distro.

Some Unity games may be launched with a parameter that causes them to execute arbitrary code. It seems like it only makes sense on Android. Windows and Linux games can normally only be launched by a process with the same or greater privileges than the process being created, but on Android you can elevate privileges by invoking another app. In practical terms, another app can access the save data of your mobile games.

There was also something about games that register to be launchable directly from a webpage, which would allow web sites to escape the browser sandbox, but it didn’t sound likely.

Japanese people are being fed the same kind of propaganda as UK citizens and Americans. People say ridiculous things like “What if the number of foreigners increases to 20% of the total population? Then women will be sexually assaulted.” Instead of immigrant gangs taking over apartment buildings and eating the pets it’s foreigners buying up all the land to build compounds for foreigners to live in and pooping in the streets.

But there is also a feedback loop where nationalists in Japan make the news, and it’s repeated by right wing foreigners who don’t know Japan but admired their idealized, racially pure Japan where everyone is polite and orderly and this would never happen, and then that gets repeated to Japanese people as if it were large numbers of foreigners warning them not to let immigration ruin Japan as it has ruined those other countries. Most of the Japanese people in this loop don’t understand English, and the right wing foreigners don’t understand Japanese. The reality isn’t always faithfully translated in either direction, and the language barrier makes it harder for people to realize the discrepancy.

Some attackers check services that have already cataloged the services you are running, even on uncommon ports. You won’t hear from them unless you are running a potentially vulnerable service.

Isn’t this Putin’s Ukraine story?

They’re headphones. Somehow we’ve managed until this point without headphone-based spy devices. How is their translation software different?
