Endorphins, better blood oxygen capacity, much better sleep, eventually better stamina in everyday life … all very tangible benefits of daily exercise. You don’t need a gym or equipment either. Running, walking, burpees, crunches, push-ups, maybe a pull-up bar can take you pretty far on their own.

None of this will directly fix all of your problems but it can better equip you to deal with stuff. A diet that is mostly fruits and veggies helps a ton too but that’s a whole other discussion.

This video is penguin/click bait and not a meme. Maybe I missed the joke.

Check your passkeys. You might still have one in the OS credential manager.

Codeberg does actively try to prevent bot scraping.

Is it easier to secure, monitor fewer, bigger reactors or thousands of* small ones? Accidents are still going to happen and I know which scenario makes more sense to me. Especially in light of Trump’s recent push to deregulate nuclear energy, kill the EPA, and pretty much any other kind of sensible management efforts of technology that is great until something goes wrong then it quickly becomes a multi-generational clusterfuck.

Solar, batteries and long-range transmission infrastructure just makes too much sense I guess.

The focus appears to be entirely on tariffs which have solely been a tool for Trump to extort various countries, they don’t seem to really stick around or stay very high for very long.

I have not heard the Feds say a word about the AI-bubble’s affects on the economy. Ignoring the great sucking effect that it has had on private and public capital as a whole, the RAM/storage price situation is going to show up in pretty much everything that needs a computer and I don’t see anyone at the Fed factoring that in. It will(and already has) hit everything from consumer PC/gaming/TV/SmartPhones but also Cloud providers, Automotive, Infrastructure technology. Remember that it is not just those who want to replace or upgrade old tech(these could wait in theory) but also applies to repairs for things that can’t wait.

If you cut rates now or too soon, asset(house) prices will sky rocket due to private capital (smart money) fleeing the AI-bubble and rushing into housing. Then you will have a situation that is somehow worse than the present.

I don’t really think that rate cuts will do anything to address AI-layoffs, offshoring of hundreds of thousands of good paying tech jobs and manufacturing jobs, or labor jobs that immigrants(illegal and ‘legal’ ones) have taken from the natives. We need sweeping policy reform to bring all of that work back. It will push wages up(and hopefully margins down) and least begin the process of undoing decades of wage dilution and price distortions.

Laughs in Gentoo. That’s adorable!

Darwin just getting ever more creative over time.

Straight out of the NSA ANT catalog aka LOUDAUTO and others.

… Says the person whose entire net worth is entirely determined by how much AI bullshit and myth he can spread around amongst the rubes… I was recently sent this absolute fever dream which itself was poorly generated by AI for maximum irony.

The Colorado River will soon be the Colorado Ditch.

If you have ever spent any significant amount of time in Louisiana you’d understand why they might be running out of room in the current amount of prisons.

If you haven’t, sort by homicide.

This is like that part in Don’t look up when the Jennifer Lawrence’s character tells her BF to wait 6 months before she meets his mother.

Prosody XMPP + Pidgin/(Monal|Xabber) has always worked for me. It is not hard to setup or manage, has E2E encryption too.

Well … are you a fish? If so, no… if not, yes.

I sincerly hope that this is a troll post because if not, well. Sigh.

Because every single foreign government hacks every other foreign government every single chance they get. If I get any say in the matter I’d rather keep my list of enemies as small as possible(aka only the US government). Most rational people would agree with that. At least you have some say in accountability for the US government, in theory at least.

I feel like every time this topic comes up people forget all of this and also forget that China’s energy, automotive, literally every industry in China is controlled by PRC/CCP, 100%. Even the US/China joint ventures have to follow rules laid out by the PRC/CCP.

The logistics accolade that you mention here is wartime logistics. That is ability to get the bullets and bandages to the places and people that need them all in a timely manner. The US is good at this because we have bases and transport logistics everywhere.

Military supply chain logistics(multiple sources for stuff, supposedly US companies…) is absolutely a consideration as well but this concept has been hallowed out over time. What used to be locally sourced materials and manufacturing by American companies is now much more dependent on overseas labor/materials. These ‘American’ companies might have corporate offices here and the c-levels, marketing/sales teams live here but all of the actual product is sourced/made in Mexico, Canada, China, India, Vietnam, etc. There are definitely specific industries like aerospace that still make a lot of stuff here but that is a small fraction of the larger whole.

We’ve already been providing direct subsidies and tax subsidies for all of these companies for decades. Nothing comes from it and as a member of the tax bracket that actually pays taxes I am not willing to keep doing it. If we need to nationalize truly mission critical companies I would rather just do that instead of continuing to privatize profits and socialize costs.

Ignore the idiot posting about this RAT.

If you want to secure your Linux system, use ClamAV, a local firewall like UFW or even opensnitch for a start. Also use your head when adding apps to your system. Stick to the official repos from your distro. Things like Arch’s AUR, random PPAs in Ubuntu and any random github project are going to be much riskier by their very nature so act accordingly.

If you need to risky stuff, do it a VM and network that guest into a private internal network that can only exit over a companion PFSense VM that is dual homed to the regular LAN and the private internal network. Take a snapshot of the risky guest before you use it in a session and when you are done, roll back to your clean snapshot.

Store your passwords in something like Keepass(strong master password!) and then use syncthing to push copies of the database to at least one other box locally or in the cloud if you really have to.
