    Most users likely do not know about recall, and as the guy in the video shows, there doesn't appear to be anything in a normal user interface showing that it is installed and configurable.

    If you are using a typical distro like fedora, debian or ubuntu, and you are wiping everything, you don't really need to know anything. The installer will handle everything for you. Just delete all partitions while installing and start fresh and it should all just work.

    If your install media refuses to boot for whatever reason, then you may have to disable secure boot in the system EFI/BIOS menu.

    What I'm thinking. If it took that long for my server to shut down, I would just sync and force reset. Although tbh, most things are VMs now, and those reboot pretty fast and would likely not be affected much by these improvements.

    If you don't want to risk getting a ban at all, the only safe thing is to not connect to the internet at all. Maybe there is some level of safety, but it could take only one mistake.

    If we assume that we fully understand how nintendo catches this, we would still only ubderstand at that point in time. They could still change or push updates which could cause you a problem.

    A ton of people using github barely understand the different between github and git and often think they are the same thing or that github and git are somewhat related more than they really are.

    Does that only happen when it tries to download files ending in .db.sig? If so, I think I read somewhere that db have no sig. So as long as it otherwise works, this error is cosmetic.

    You could use a custom XferCommand command per PACMAN.CONF(5) with wget using -6

    Something like this might work:

    XferCommand = /usr/bin/wget -6 -c -O %o %u

    If you want something similar to vim or neovim, but without all the fuss learning how to configure it and install plugins and such, you could try helix.

    I'm pretty sure my Amazon renewed HDD is DOA. Anyway I can make sure before I return it?

    I would return it, but if you are curious you can try some of the following to get experiencing identifying bad disks.

    You could try a different computer or controller to be sure.

    If you can get some writes/reads to work, you can use badblocks or dm-crypt: https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Badblocks#Alternatives

    Badblocks will write known data to disk then read it to verify its good. If the disk is malicious, this can be faked. badblocks is also a little slow.

    Using dm-crypt in the wiki will write zeros through dm-crypt which will result in random noise being written to disk, then compare with zeros to verify reads are good. This can not be faked easily since the zero stream is encrypted as it is written to disk.

    The last I looked into it, the best way to do it was to get an older kindle so you could download the older DRM copies of books from amazon. But I think some newer books are using only the newer DRM which I don't think has been cracked.

    It has probably been at least a year since I checked. If you do end up finding an updated method, I would be interested.

    I was very against Biden dropping out, but i think this is a pretty good point. I think it is still very risky for her to run due to race and sex discrimination, but it might not be a predetermined loss at least.

    recommended hard drives for cold storage

    Don't buy into tape. It is costly and is inferior to hard drives by most metrics for smaller scale operations. You can easily get 8TB hard drives for less than $20/TB. While tape is cheaper than that, the drive to actually use it is expensive, plus you get all the disadvantages of the tape itself.

    Fun fact: you can probably buy a whole server, external sas card and disk shelf for less than the cost of a somewhat modern tape drive.

    If you are wanting to store less than 100TB of data, it would probably be cheaper to use drives, then in 3-5 years buy another set of disks and still be ahead compared to tape.

    Yes, but that is always possible with most protocols, including imap.

    Take a look a FUSE and you will see all the creative things people have done with filesystems. Or DNS, lots of fun things have been done with that also.

  • Zelenskyy straight-up said Ukraine is going to lose if Congress doesn't send more aid

    You are right, you can't use only information Ukraine or Russia provides. But it probably is the case that Ukraine was stomping Russia for pennies on the dollar earlier in the war. However, Russia is not a static force. They learn and change their tactics, and Russia spends more resources now than they did earlier.

    It would be a grave mistake to stop aid to Ukraine while they are still willing and able to fight.

    They can do both, and if their stance is at all ideologically motivated, then it is necessary to focus on more than just the low hanging fruit of doing reviews.

    The free software movement is more than just the free software existing. It is also congruent to the laws that permit it and extending rights

    Right to repair is about more than simply fixing things. It's about going after companies and lobbying to get actual rights enshrined into law.
