good night

@kemona_halftau meoww

Being able to unlock the bootloader of a device you own should be legally mandated. I own the hardware, I should own the functionality of it too. I can get the modem being illegal to modify, since that has a ton of regulatory and public safety tape around it, but the OS being irreplacible is dumb.

Also, unlocking the bootloader should be as simple as sending a command to the device. Screw this trend of needing unlock codes (looking at you Motorola, Fairphone, and Co.).

@f0rrest @bearmine I wouldn't recommend lemmy.world because they have cloudflare (mis)configured with "email protection" enabled (which replaces every "email address" with some obfuscated JavaScript, and of course treats every user@host as an email address, including every username and community name) and refused to fix it when I emailed them complaining about it. Their reasoning for keeping it was concerns about scrapers, but that doesn't make much sense since every post is also accessible on other instances that don't have email protection, and scrapers could just use ActivityPub to bypass it completely anyway.

@sodiboo does sharkey store remote media forever?

Boost this if you think DENIC should just hand out free hosts files in the meantime

@kemona_halftau most of my experience with ruby is with an RCE-as-a-service IRC bot significant portions of which were written over IRC and I think it was probably one of the best languages for that syntax-wise

Life finds a way

@domi currently I just don’t for a lot of data (due to a lack of places to store them). I think if I had that much data to back up I’d consider getting a tape drive.

my dear sysops: where do you store backups?

i’m looking for something below 2EUR/TB, because otherwise it’s just more cost-effective to buy drives and create a small backup server…

the whole thing would be in the ballpark of 30-40TB, so if you want to suggest hetzner storageboxes… uh…

@puppygirlhornypost2 @solonovamax as far as I can tell it’s almost entirely proprietary other than the kernel, and even the kernel sources aren’t published on their website and instead have to be requested by email (and possibly aren’t even complying with the GPL for RouterOS 7, although maybe that’s changed)

which is a shame, since otherwise that looks like quite a nice router

@kemona_halftau also xdg_uplevel, xdg_downlevel, xdg_strangelevel, and xdg_charmlevel

@hexaheximal what about a trackpoint?

With Windows 9x Subsystem for Linux you can run all your favourite Windows and Linux apps side-by-side with a modern Linux kernel running cooperatively with the Windows kernel in ring 0. And unlike modern WSL, no hardware virtualisation is used so even your 486 can run it!

Please enjoy, I think this might be one of my greatest hacks of all time
