He just wants to be wanted by somebody. He was wanted for stealing a vehicle, so logically he stole another one so they would want him even more.

Tsk, everyone knows you shouldn’t use magnets to hold floppy disks. Just staple them into your lever arch file.
It depends what you want to do with it. If it’s just for storing files/backups then encrypt them before uploading and make sure the key never goes anywhere near the VPS. If it’s for serving up something like a simple website, you probably care more about data integrity than exfiltration, so make sure you have the security, including selinux or equivalent, locked down, and regularly run integrity checks. If it’s for running something interactive, or where data will be generated or downloaded to the machine, you’re out of luck, there’s no even theoretical way of securing that against an adversary with that much access.
Maybe it’s just a different viewpoint, but I find the sarcasm of that headline vastly more damning than just saying ‘Trump lies again’. It basically saying that his brain is so fried that he’s unable or unwilling to engage with the reality the rest of us experience.
Not morons, just not educated enough about them to understand exactly what the implications of that action are.
Use cheap, low density wax and it’ll slowly melt under the studio lights over to course of the program, which would be hilarious.
That only works if you can get everyone to stop talking about them. Unfortunately, he has a large enough cult that someone will always be talking about him positively, so the only reasonable counter is to flood the conversation with mockery. Against a more well balanced candidate that would just rankle, but it’s really got under his skin, and under the skin of those who support him, so it’s proving to be a worthwhile tactic.
Very well said. The key question is how do we, as a society, turn politics back onto that course, of considering the what and the how, not the person or the party.
The problem is more widespread than just America, it seems to take root anywhere you have an elected representative system and the electorate forget that they are the key part of the system.
Look, I’m not attacking them over this, as you rightly said, it has plenty of other drawbacks and concerns, I’m just emphasising that Google do have a large degree of influence over them. For instance, Chromium is dropping manifest v2 support, so Brave pretty much has to do the same. They’ve said that, as Chromium has a switch to keep it enabled until June (iirc) they’ve enabled that, but after Chromium drops manifest v2 the most they can do is try to support a subset of it as best they can. The Brave devs may not want to drop support, but Google have decreed it will be dropped, so they end up dropping it and having to put in extra work to keep even a subset working for some period of time.
If Brave gets even a moderate market share, Google will continue to mess them around like this as they really don’t like people not seeing their adverts.
Ultimately it’s software, so the Brave devs can do pretty much whatever they want, limited by the available time and money. Google’s influence extends to making that either easier or harder, it much the same way as they influence the Android ecosystem.
Both Brave and Chrome are built on the open-source Chromium browser engine
That’s from the Brave website: https://brave.com/compare/chrome-vs-brave/
Yes there are plenty of changes, but it’s built on it, and shaped by it, and Chromium is heavily influenced by Google. If chromium doesn’t support v2 manifests it is unlikely that Brave will. In this particular case it may be that Brave’s ad blocking and privacy features are equivalent to uBO, but it’s still underpinned by an engine that Google has strong influence over, so it can’t completely shake their influence.
I know it’s trite to say “calm down Satan”, but, calm down Satan. You’ve captured the spirit of a Fae deal really well.
You win the internet for today.
The issue with that is a criminal can commit a crime, then have an accomplice commit a crime against them. Now when the police investigate the latter and find out about the former they can’t use the evidence, so convicting the criminal of the, presumably, more serious crime becomes impossible. Create a ‘crime loop’ and no one can be convicted.

It’s a non-starter for me because I sync my notes, and sometimes a subset of my notes, to multiple devices and multiple programs. For instance, I might use Obsidian, Vim and tasks.md to access the same repository, with all the documents synced between my desktop and server, and a subset synced to my phone. I also have various scripts to capture data from other sources and write it out as markdown files. Trying to sync all of this to a database that is then further synced around seems overly complicated to say the least, and would basically just be using Trillium as a file store, which I’ve already got.
I’ve also be burnt by various export/import systems either losing information or storing it in a incompatible way.
I’m really not sure there are any shortcuts here, he is such a uniquely awful human being that any comparison will fall short. He’s not the most evil person in the world, he’s not the most racist, or the most homophobic, he isn’t the thinnest skinned and he’s not the most selfish or vindictive or vain, but he only loses out in any category by the smallest of margins. I fear that trying to find a yardstick to measure him by that encompasses all of the negatives is a vain errand, and in future he will be the yardstick we measure others of such a veanal and contemptible nature.
You are being deeply and unreasonably unfair to five-year-olds. The ones I’ve met tend to be curious, happy, utterly inclusive and considerably more coherent than the orange one.
I enjoy reading dead tree books as much as anyone, and whilest the publisher/distributor can’t take it away, there are plenty of ways you can lose access to them. Fire and flood being the two obvious ones, whereas digital books can be backed up offsite. It’s also easier to carry many books when they’re digital compared to physical.
For books I care about I try to get both a physical and a (drm free) digital copy for the best of both world.
