My bias makes me immediately think that anything they're claiming should be considered suspect.

Frankly, if an antivaxxer told me the sky was blue, I'd go outside to check.

This is a case where you should find a second or third source making the same claims, as well as a better source that says how much and specifically what was found in the cookies because it's entirely possible to have dangerous things in something but at levels that are not actually dangerous, and I see no specific units being claimed anywhere.

And I mean, glyphosphate is something we've sprayed on every inch of the globe at this point anyways and is on every single thing you're going to eat, so sure, it's bad, but it's only bad at certain concentrations. (It's Roundup)

Swears liking femboys is straight.

...this is a thing? Man, learn something new and facepalm-worthy every day, seriously.

Huh.

Usually when I run into that I just bounce the Portainer container and it sorts shit out.

Maybe that's actually causing the tokens to rotate/expire and thus doing the same shit?

Well, no benefits for you anyway.

You just know this will end up mandatory.

Huh it’s Tuesday again.

New title: Rich guy who has bought his way into everything in his life admits to buying his way into boosting his accounts, internet expresses great lack of surprise.

You say poor opsec, I say free advertising.

Would anyone in this thread have paid ANY attention to this movie otherwise?

Well I have a new project for the weekend.

Same.

There's almost never only a single option to offer me what I'm after, so I'll just go back to my search results or whatever and pick the next link and move on.

There's no way in hell I'm giving some jackasses my phone number, though. I don't even like giving people who really actually need to be able to call me my number, so why would I give some sketchy-ass website it?

No.

I pirate everything, but am very very reluctant to do so with software or games.

I only pirate in cases where the company involved is just too gross to support (looking at you, Adobe), or if there's absolutely no other option.

But I consider pirated software and games absolutely suspect 100% of the time, because I'm old enough to remember when every keygen was also a keylogger, and every crack was also a rootkit and touching any pirated software was going to give you computer herpes without fail.

So maybe it's not that bad anymore, but I mean, do you fully trust in the morals of someone who would spend the time helping you steal someone else's shit to not add just one more little thing to it for themselves?

It's pretty much the same thing yeah: you find something you're somewhat interested in, and then The Algorithm will shove increasingly aggressive content at you and hey presto, you've fallen down the rage-bait circlejerk hole for whatever side you were already somewhat aligned with.

I'm old enough to remember when you could have friends with different political opinions and it never went past 'oh, cool, well i don't agree but whatever'. That's 100% not a thing anymore, because everyone on both sides of any issue have been completely radicalized.

The right are Nazis, and the left are raping children, and that's where the discussion starts now, and thus you have... the mess we have now.

I don't know what the solution is, other than literal deprogramming, since that's almost exactly how a cult works: the cult leader affirms what you already think, tells you that you're special, and then makes sure no voices of dissent are heard.

You know, like social media's algorithms do in the name of "engagement".

As far as it matters for this, a hypervisor is a hypervisor.

I use qemu/kvm because it's what I'm used to on the linux side, but I don't think it has any particular feature that makes it more safe compared to like virtualbox or vmware or anything else.

Laptop for Linux use (forum.uncomfortable.business)
 

So I'm looking for a laptop, but before you downvote and move on, I've got a twist: I'm looking for a laptop with Linux support that's going to intentionally be console-only and rely on TUIs to make a lower-distraction device.

I was looking at older Thinkpads with 4:3 screens and the good keyboard before Lenovo went all chicklet with them, but I'm kinda concluding they're both way too expensive AND way too old to be a reasonable choice at this point.

A X220 or T40-whatever would be great and be the perfect aesthetic, but they're expensive, hard to find parts for, and using enough crusty old shit that this becomes yet another delve into retro computing and not one into practical, useful computing which is the goal here.

So, anyone have any recommendations of any devices in the last decade that have a reasonable keyboard, screen, use modern enough components that you can source new drives and RAM and batteries and such, and preferably aren't coated in a coating that's going to turn to sticky goo?

Thin(ner) and light(er) would be nice, but probably not a dealbreaker if the rest of the pieces align. This will be almost entirely used at a table for writing and such.

 

So I've got a home server that's having issues with services flapping and I'm trying to figure out what toolchain would be actually useful for telling me why it's happening, and not just when it happened.

Using UptimeKuma, and it's happy enough to tell me that it couldn't connect or a 503 happened or whatever, but that's kinda useless because the service is essentially immediately working by the time I get the notice.

What tooling would be a little more detailed in to the why, so I can determine the fault and fix it?

I'm not sure if it's the ISP, something in my networking configuration, something on the home server, a bad cable, or whatever because I see nothing in logs related to the application or the underlying host that would indicate anything even happened.

It's also not EVERY service on the server at once, but rather just one or two while the other pile doesn't alert.

In sort: it's annoying and I'm not really making headway for something that can do a better job at root-cause-ing what's going on.
