I’ve never considered that since I’m in cybersecurity, so the oldest paper I’ve seen that is from the late 80s. The majority is from the mid 90s onwards though, and due to the fast moving nature of the field anything that is old enough to have a dead author is likely out of date.
Paywalled articles are still openly available if you politely email the researcher. While we should strive to have no barrier, if you can’t afford to publish openly those who need the research can still acquire it under the table. Having research unpublished because the researchers could not afford to pay the fee is worse than having the research published in a closed journal.
I’ve gotten a few dozen papers from closed journals that way, and I’ve never been told no.
Personally, I want to see the removal of capitalism, as it is a terrible system, alongside other oppressive systems like the State. Because that doesn’t happen overnight, and it isn’t something congress would ever vote on, I support strong social systems, high taxes on the wealthy and corporations, strong environmental protections, and especially legislation that strengthens communities. Strong worker protections and benefits wouldn’t be bad to see either.
Thanks a ton! I don’t know how much use I’ll get out of it because my groups are now fully online, but if I ever get to play in person again, I’ll definitely use these.
It can also be used to manually harden fedora 39, which I think is great as well!
When I was at college, I used a free tier AWS box to allow me to make things inside the school network public through some SSH and proxy shenanigans, and I used the box to let me escape the anti-vpn firewall rules they had by tunneling my VPN service through SSH
Unfortunately, this is a third party, but considering its a cloud platform, it might be a bit more reliable than a third party service.
The solution is gay tolerance candles
I’ve been pretty depressed by the current political atmosphere in the US, lately, and living in a more conservative area of my state makes it even more alienating. Today, I went to a left wing book fair at a city I’m considering moving to, and it was an amazing change of scenery.
Those aren’t worth it imo. Those specs are pretty bad for the price. As someone who has a server like that (although newer specs), it is pretty expensive to run, sitting at between 100-200$ a month in electricity if run non-stop, granted I live in an area with higher-than-average electricity prices. Taking out 1 CPU will be negligible on power, but have drastic impact on performance. Another consideration is storage, which will be expensive with enterprise 2.5” drives, so be aware of that. Fans in dell servers (or at least the one I own) tend to be quiet if configured to use low fan speeds when under low load. I used to have one in my dorm room under my bed, and I could barely hear the fan whine when trying to sleep, but I could drown it out with a box fan or quiet music
This looks like a port scanning address, which is normal. Being scanned is just a fact of life if you host a service on the internet. What exactly was in your access log? Is it a connection on /
? Is it a 404 on a weird path? Is it accessing data on a service you run?
Personally, I’d block the IP and move on, since 99 times in 100, its not too big of a deal since an automated scan won’t do much. If it is scanning services you actively run, it would warrant digging in deeper, reading all logs and bit more closely, but it is still not too likely it will result in an intrusion.

From any other company who runs a social media company with a spam problem, I’d say this is an interesting solution. You can identify some bots and sock-puppet accounts by PCI. For Musk’s twitter, I’m not exactly trusting it, it feels like enshittification is in full swing.
I wonder how this will affect diversity of opinion on twitter, since I feel those already critical of twitter won’t be as likely to spend a dollar
And I’m a little skeptical that this will dissuade botting, since 1$ is nothing
Yeah, its an undercover cop
A corner store near my college occasionally had 4 cans for $2. I’d stock up for weeks at a time when that happened, and I got a sick finger workout carrying a ton of paper bags full of them home
They don’t taste great, but for less than a dollar a can? 100% worth it
Neovim + LLDB, because I like vim motions and hate electron apps.
At work I used VS Code with vim integration, or an OpenSUSE tumbleweed VM with neovim, which I “integrated” into the windows terminal. Unfortunately, WSL was not allowed due to valid security concerns.
I’m finally beginning to escape a 6 month long depressive episode. I’m beginning to feel happy again, and I can finally find joy in my hobbies. Not everything is going great right now and I’m still struggling to get by, but things are beginning to look up. Hopefully, I can harness this newfound energy to finally begin to deal with everything looming over me.
I’m also beginning to read some leftist books. I’ve picked up “Black Metal Rainbows” by Daniel Lukes, et. al, and I’ve grabbed a copy of “Debt: The First 5,000 Years” by David Graeber. I’m hoping to read some other titles when I get the chance. Hopefully, I can get back into reading again, it’s a great break from staring at a screen all day.
I’ve read half of Black Metal Rainbows so far, and I think it’s pretty good, even as someone who isn’t in very deep the black metal scene. The book is a collection of essays, art, stories, and interviews, and so far I’ve read about topics ranging from anti-fascism and removing fascist and nazi bands from metal, queer artists and their experiences in the scene, feminism, sex work, men’s mental health and DSBM, and an interview with Dødheimsgard (my beloved). I’d highly recommend it if you are interested in black metal or leftist communities in metal.

which one is better suited for gaming?
All linux distros use the same set of tools for gaming: proton + wine. Any distro that has graphics drivers for your gpu will be fine.
… Microsoft is using ubuntu, does this mean it is more compatible with their other applications?
Unfortunately, microsoft does not make linux versions of their apps. Online versions work fine.
AMD is better suited for linux
AMD is better suited for linux because of open source drivers, but nvidia still works. I run a 4080, and it works perfectly. The only area where AMD works where Nvidia fails is Wayland support, which works perfectly on AMD, and is hit or miss with nvidia.
where should I get started?
The best place to start is just using linux. I started my linux journey by just installing debian on my desktop, and sticking through all the mistakes I made along the way. I highly recommend installing fedora, since I’ve found it to be easy for new users, up to date, and extremely stable. Ubuntu is another good choice, but I found it to be less stable long term (my installs always broke 8-12 months in). I would avoid using arch based distros since they are more prone for breaking updates. The most recent Debian sounds really nice, but I haven’t used it yet.
I’ve taught a few people cybersecurity, and I always start with linux because the tools are linux exclusive. With that in mind, I’ve had success having people just use OverTheWire Bandit, which teaches you how to use linux using ssh. It is somewhat difficult to jump in blind, and it is fully self taught as it requires googling how to use commands to do things to solve the challenges, which is a useful skill in itself.
