I would say that finding that balance is up to the individual admin and application, really, which is where the defense in depth comes in. Yeah, it’s rare, and if those exploits are being used it means you’ve got the attention of someone you probably can’t really stop, but it’s something to take into consideration. Bad configs can cause data leakage across container boundaries, too, so without knowing the admin’s skill level, I tend to recommend against sharing that hardware with something that might have something valuable on it. AI has made it easier for script kiddies to find zero-days and exploit APT-level vulnerabilities, too.

It masks the registration info, but it can’t mask the IP by definition, and that can still be traced back to you.

It’s not about the container escape so much as the potential for someone to do a DNS lookup on your domain name and use that to locate you physically. Yes, it’s coarse location data, but someone on 4chan was able to locate Shia LaBoeuf from a single picture of a flagpole. It doesn’t take much.

I would NOT host a Lemmy instance at home unless you’re going to obfuscate your IP address. If you make it public, you’re inviting any whackjob that sees your username to find your physical location. Additionally, I wouldn’t host it on a PC that you actually intend to use for day to day stuff, just in case the instance gets hacked and someone manages to escape the container it’s in. If you wanted to do this, I would put it on its own box with Cloudflare in front of it, otherwise you’re inviting trouble where there doesn’t need to be any.

The PS5 in particular uses GDDR instead of standard DDR for its system RAM, so rather than making the iGPU use lower-bandwidth memory, it gets to use the same stuff a dedicated one does.

My tin-foil-hattest conspiracy theory is that it’s being done inorganically to make English as a whole a taboo language.

Surprisingly good network speeds in Albania, too.

As I recall, it was a transient packaging bug that was fixed within an hour of it occurring, well before the video even aired.

Am I weird for being angry at the latest wave of songs that straight up steal an older song’s melody and reuse it in some inane bullshit? The one that comes to mind for me is that song that ripped off “Blue” by Eiffel 65 by David Guetta. It’s not like Eiffel 65 was a modern Bach or anything, but the “I’m Good” version feels so empty and blatantly a ripoff that I can’t help but get angry when I hear it.

A buddy of mine told me a story from his Coast Guard days where one of his friends’ daughters was getting picked up for a date, so her dad was sitting at the kitchen table doing the stereotypical scary-dad gun cleaning thing. Well, the date walks in, looks at the dad, and goes “got a set for a 9mm?” And proceeds to sit down and start cleaning his own gun with his date’s dad.

I wouldn’t force yourself to do acid if it’s already gone badly. It may go better the second time around, but if you’ve already got it in your head that it’ll go poorly, then it will. Mushrooms are way milder, though, and I don’t think I’ve ever had a properly bad trip on them. I’ve had difficult ones, but that’s because they crank the introspection up to a billion percent of your baseline and sometimes that leads to you realizing things you don’t want to realize.

There’s a scene in Venture Brothers that actually describes it well. Rusty’s working with Henry Killinger, who tells him to step into his Magic Murder Bag. Rusty asks what’s in the bag, and Killinger responds “only what you take with you.” Psychedelics are kinda like that. If you have your baggage at the front of your mind going in, then your baggage will be the focus of the trip. If you go in with your hopes and dreams front and center, then that’s what you’ll see.

YMMV, of course, but having talked to others about it, that seems to be a fairly common theme.

I’ve had a few good experiences on acid, and then one bad enough that I never touched it again. I prefer mushrooms now if I’m doing psychedelics. It’s a lot harder to fuck up a drug that literally grows itself.

Windows requires you to make an online account that includes your first and last name. I’ve never once added my first or last name to a Linux install, and most distros don’t ask you anything about root anymore, either.

Also, Windows very much asks for a domain, and in fact they’re the originator of it. When it’s asking whether the computer is for personal use or work, it’s deciding whether to request a domain to join to. ActiveDirectory (the thing the domain is referring to) came directly from Microsoft as a Windows feature that you have to pay extra for. Not to mention, if you don’t have a domain, just don’t enter one. There’s not a single distro where that’s a hard requirement, and it never will be.

Do we really need to spell out “click next until it’s done” for you?

I’m not stealing this verbatim, but I’m absolutely adding “It’s Raining Men” to my plan to have my corpse launched from a circus canon into the Delaware River.

I do a “reset” every so often - maybe once a year, twice if it’s been rough. It seems to work alright, but you have to go into it prepared to be happy. I know that sounds dumb, but sometimes when we get depressed for too long, we cling to that feeling out of familiarity and subconsciously avoid or even fear the idea of being happy. So if you do it, make sure you go in ready and willing to be happy, otherwise it’ll make everything worse.

Yeah oddly enough, they help with depression too. Magic mushrooms indeed.

I’ve heard small amounts of caffeine can help sometimes, but not always. There’s also some preliminary evidence that magic mushrooms help, too.
