If the employer wants to prevent remote desktop sessions they can configure it that way with group policies and an always on VPN. In this case they are apparently fine with a personal computer being used which makes RDP actually a slightly more secure solution.

Separate your personal and your work computer. You don’t want to be in a situation where you have to explain a software issue caused by your decision of not running standard software. Put Windows and all work related software on a separate work laptop and use remote desktop from your Linux PC to do your job.

Soon in the Microslop support forums: “Please help, I asked Copilot for the photos of my late grandma and it deleted my entire C drive”.

open source is always a spectrum

It most definitely is not.

If I understand it correctly this just proxies ssh connections through a more efficient type of socket when its a ssh connection between a VM and its Host machine. No SSH daemon is started by systemd by default making this once again misinformation by the anti-systemd crowd.

The rule about not consuming blood depends on the flavour of Christianity you subscribe to. Catholics, for example, argue that it was just a temporary rule to keep the peace while a lot of Christians lived side by side with Jews.

Ever heard of self-contained deployments or native AOT? No separate runtime install needed.

“We asked spicy autocomplete to come up with a story about an AI that is self-preserving and the story was really scary and we are very concerned.”

I am also very concerned; because this apparently qualifies as research and people seem to take this drivel seriously.

Unsafe C# and Span<T> make it viable for a lot of low level code as well. You can get really close to C or Rust performance with these features.

[…] official investigations found that the police saw the pastor as a threat to Islam, Malaysia’s majority religion.

Isn’t that just lovely, religion and cops doing what they do best.

I opened the article. I saw that its something about the DKP. I closed the article. These Putin loving idiots can get stuffed for all I care.

Yes those are too old. I think it must have been something released near 1998. The game I remember was in a cartoon style and not as pixelated. It might have been something only released in German as well.

No, unfortunately that’s not it.

There was a fantasy point and click adventure on the school PCs about two lost goblin or gnome children. I think it was some sort of learning game released during the 90s. The only things that I clearly remember are a mini game about getting red and yellow llamas across a bridge with a passing point, and a labyrinth where you had to solve riddles. Never figured out what it was.

Wrong empire. The Holy Roman Empire was dissolved 60 years before Germany unified as the German Empire.

I am used to the uninformed complaining about Rust but suggesting JAI of all things as an alternative is new.

Why do journalists have to do this work as opposed to the German secret service or military?

My favourite of these company names is still BOIFUN who obviously sell DVD players, baby monitors and door bells.

See Wikipedia:

The Nostr protocol was first written in 2020 by a Brazilian open source developer known by the pseudonym “fiatjaf” as a response to perceived moderation issues on Twitter, as well as both technical and cultural disagreements with other protocols such as ActivityPub and Secure Scuttlebutt.

Looks like it was never about function or protocol in the first place.

In 2024, in an article reporting on the project’s funding, Business Insider claimed to have identified fiatjaf, and had found two websites previously published by this person to disseminate the work of Olavo de Carvalho, a far-right conspiracy theorist.

Sounds lovely and taking one look at a random relay confirms this. The only things discussed there are Bitcoin, “Women-are-evil-because-they-dont-sex-me” and some AI bullshit.

If this ever happens I am going to put my soldering iron to good use and figure out a way to lobotomize my microwave.
