We need to investigate those in the Pentagon that are giving out illegal orders.

Something, something, we investigated ourselves and found no wrong doing?

you have some kind of hardware issue or corruption / incongruities in your OS deployment.

Windows, windows is the corruption you’re looking for.

The penny died pretty quick in Canada, I would argue and say it’ll be gone within 3 years, tenders will just round up/down the total and no longer hand them out.

I mean technically I am right, they are worth at least 1 billion dollars, didn’t feel like looking up their gross/net earnings.

Maybe one day they’ll fix applications on the task bar not focusing when you click on them, don’t get confused here, these are applications already open and in the background but clicking the icon on the taskbar occasionally does nothing until you manually bring it to the foreground.

Wild this is a billion dollar company.

I would rather they have funny language in their privacy policy opposed to mandatory logging, they have to cover themselves legally as well so they got to utilize legal-ise so they aren’t sued into the dirt.

I’m sure Gmail tracks the IP of your rectum.

I bet Google predicted you would say that!

Why is this a surprise? IP Logging is pretty normal for any service.

2.5 IP logging: by default, we do not keep permanent IP logs in relation with your Account. However, IP logs may be kept temporarily to combat abuse and fraud, and your IP address may be retained permanently if you are engaged in activities that breach our Terms of Service (e.g. spamming, DDoS attacks against our infrastructure, brute force attacks). The legal basis of this processing is our legitimate interest to protect our service against non-compliant or fraudulent activities. If you enable authentication logging for your Account or voluntarily participate in Proton’s advanced security program, the record of your login IP addresses is kept for as long as the feature is enabled. This feature is off by default, and all the records are deleted upon deactivation of the feature. The legal basis of this processing is consent, and you are free to opt in or opt out of that processing at any time in the security panel of your Account. The authentication logs feature records login attempts to your Account and does not track product-specific activity, such as VPN activity.

On KDE Plasma for example, there is a little tile for it on the taskbar.

Depends on how you configure KDE, typically Super-Key+V is the standard shortcut for clipboard history.

Did a little digging, not sure if you’re someone who self hosts (or owns Homekit enabled devices) but Homebridge appears to offer plugins for Xiaomi smart vacuums this will give you more “smart” functionality without the cost of exposing it to the internet.

Shame they don’t offer that flexibility natively.

I’m unfamiliar with Xiaomi “smart” products, I assume there is an app to control the vacuum, if it does have an app does it still work for you strictly behind your LAN network?

I expect it will end up with big corporations and rich people being able to pay a bribe buy a licence to use encryption and VPNs, while ordinary people will not be able to afford it.

That’s a good thing Wireguard and OpenVPN are open source and available for free to everyone.

Or they will just require ISPs to block suspected VPN traffic from home connections. If people find workarounds it’s still a pretext to arrest anyone inconvenient to the government

I mean, China and Russia have been on this mission for quite some time now and have failed over and over. Doubt the US will be any different.

Baffling that “smart” products don’t just utilize the local network for their functionality.

There are many ways, a popular choice would be managing your own recursive DNS resolver and then blocking the endpoint it contacts.

PiHole - Non recursive but offers blocking capabilities, can make it recursive with Unbound.

Technitium - Recursive but not nearly as user friendly as PiHole, also lacks the fancy Ui.

So glad I ditched discord the second they considered going public, converting people to Matrix sucks because Element is terrible for group calls, [Edit] tried setting up a Snikket server via Docker compose yesterday but their documentation sucks for manual setups, I don’t need them handling reverse proxying for me and rather they didn’t bind to the host network and instead bind to a docker network eventually my tweaks broke docker itself and I had to restart the service.

When I first started using Linux I only knew of SMB file sharing, if I remember correctly it was relatively easy to setup but eventually ran into permission issues so I then switched over to SSHFS.

You’ll likely need to purge your Nvidia drivers after upgrading to 13, I had two machines fail to start NvidiaPersistence.d.service (or something like that) which caused the machines to fail on boot-up.

Reinstalled the drivers with sudo apt install nvidia-driver nvidia-cuda-dev nvidia-cuda-toolkit if you’re looking for raytracing don’t forget to install libnvoptix1.

Mostly games to be honest! I used to have an auto-walk macro that I could toggle on and off or an auto-clicker as I don’t like to spam my mouse.

This looks promising! By chance can you toggle macros with this application so they repeat on their own without needing another key press to restart it?

Edit: Also does it support mouse inputs?

ASUS NUC’s are great for simple self hosting needs, got a 13th gen NUC myself with an i7, Proxmox as the host with a headless Debian 13 VM for a virtualized environment.
