Adding a second ISP can provide resiliency and ensure a critical infrastructure stays connected even when 1 ISP fails.

I would be surprised if the White House didn’t already have such resiliency.

My speculation is they just want to avoid red tape and circumvent the restriction and strict access control applied to existing connections.

There’s always a beer in Phoronix articles. Please drink responsibility, ie as little as possible.

The devil’s in the details. And there aren’t much details in this article.

Flip a coin. Seeing duplicate posts on the home page is annoying.

Like how Stephen Colbert setup his own SuperPac on air, showing how many ridiculous and unethical things are legal with US’ current campaign finance laws.

This alone doen’t make you a Nazi, but that’s still a terrible course of action.

A wise man once said…

The world will not be destroyed by those who do evil, but by those who watch them without doing anything.

Calling out Musk and his actions, and avoiding the company that he owns and control, are the least one can do given all the trouble he’s causing, or trying to cause.

Several companies sell electric vehicles, and unlike Tesla, most aren’t owned by a Nazi (sympathiser).

He shoudn’t send DanSupp a cheque directly, but help him setup a non-profit or foundation for Pixelfed, then give that foundation a cheque.

Dan is doing a good job developing Pixelfed, but it looks like a one-man show, and that’s a bottleneck for the project.

No source is visible in the post. I don’t know if that’s an issue with my client, or an oversight.

“more speech and fewer mistakes.”

You can’t make moderation mistakes if you stop moderating. tap head with finger

Japan’s JPCERT released IOCs for MirrorFace malware earlier https://blogs.jpcert.or.jp/en/2024/07/mirrorface-attack-against-japanese-organisations.html

Kudos to them. Sharing IOCs and samples with other CERTs and vendors is important to protect others who may be targeted.

It’s going to make even more nurses run away, when many places are lacking nurses.

In addition to not connecting stuff unnecessarily, connected devices that consume/produce lots of power need safeguards.

Like a random 0-60sec timer for remote power on/off operations. 50000 panels powering down over 60sec is easier to handle than if they do that simultaneously.

Temu sure wish they didn’t, but they do in fact need to adhere to local laws in juridictions where they’re doing business.

There already are complaints against Temu for noncompliance to EU regulation. For instance https://www.beuc.eu/sites/default/files/publications/BEUC-X-2024-046_Temu_Why_the_fast-growing_online_marketplace_fails_to_comply_with_the_DSA.pdf

It may be trickier to enforce law against Temu vs a more classic and direct seller of goods, so it may take more time, and it may become a game of whack a mole, but there will be some enforcement.

If not the chineese manufacturer, then whoever is importing them .

They should force a recall.

There are hypotheticals precisely because Tiktok is not transparent enough. It sounds like they’re doing an estimate on the best data publically available.

At the very least, this put pressure on Tiktok to be more transparent. Tiktok could prove the study wrong by publishing more about their energy and resource use.

As an alternative to newspaper and magazine subscriptions, go to your local library’s (website).

My library card allows me to access a bunch of newspaper and magazines online, and cost me just a very low yearly fee.

He’s also giving more material to the CoC board by posting this. He’s free to do it but it’s not helping.

I wish he would avoid commenting and stay away from the drama, until he hears from the board if there’s any complaint and what it is.

“I can potentially make it really big,” Lin said, hopeful despite the modest earnings.

This sounds like Uberisation, ie relying on entrepreneur wannabes to replace employees and warehouses with self-employed workers and their living room. I’d be curious to see if it allows them to earn a living wage with a 40h week, or if it’s exploitative.

Every service may be abused to spread misinformation. Here, the complaint isn’t that people abuse a service against the owner’s will, but that the service is operated to spread misinformation.

One way to address this could be to look at moderation. Is there meaningful moderation to limit misinformation? A service operated to spread misinformation wouldn’t moderate it.
