Pro-tip for webscrapers: using AI to solve captchas is a massive waste of effort and resources. Aim to not be presented with a captcha in the first place.

Worse is when its asking for crosswalks and its clearly a rumblestrip.

Most frequently I use it as an interactive cd. Docs on how

Saves me a whole lot of ls and cd or tabbing through completions.

Switched from ranger to yazi months ago. There’s some UI choices that I miss but the configuration via toml and lua plugins is way better than rangers.

I would like to find a git modeline plugin. Its wild to me that they have a zoxide integrated and keybound by default but no git integration.

They should change directors and aesthetics completely when they do the fourth book. Only Jason Mamoa is consistent.

I think PopOS can safely assume that its being installed on a laptop with only one drive. If there’s multiple drives involved then the setup gets far more complicated as you then must go to something like an LUKS on LVM setup. Basically, for a desktop there’s no safe defaults for FDE.

I’m pretty sure all the major distros have FDE as an option in the installer its just never on by default. Fedora does the same but with BTRFS on LUKS. I’m sure Debian does. Someone else says OpenSuse does. Maybe some derivative distros don’t but I suspect the ones with an graphical installer do.

Looks like they use eCryptFS. Never heard of it before so thats neat. I can see using it on systems where you can’t reinstall the system with Dm-crypt but it most cases I suspect Dm-crypt is a better alternative.

Idk if its faster or slower than Dm-crypt.

The standard route is to decrypt on boot. It happens after GRUB but before your display manager starts. IDK if there even is a setup that has you “decrypt on login”. Thats sounds like your display manager (sddm for KDE) is decrypting system which is not possible IMO.

Unless your laptop somehow has multiple drives you’ll want to use the “LVM on LUKS” configuration. 1 small partition for /boot. The rest gets LUKS encrypted, and an LVM group is put on the LUKS container. Or you could replace LVM with btrfs.

This will require wiping your system and reinstalling so you have some reading to do.

The arch-install script in the live iso has options for full disk encryption.

If you suspend to RAM your system will stay unencrypted, because your ram is not encrypted. if you suspend to disk (aka hibernate) your system will be encrypted. You go through the boot loader when waking from hibernation but it just drops you off where you left off.

You need a swapfile for hibernation so make sure its inside the LUKS container.

Irrelevant to the point I’m making. We, the US, are the ones starving Venezuelans, not Maduro. Everything else is none of our business.

… but it’s the US imperialism that’s at fault, obviously

It’s literally the direct consequence of US sanctions. That’s the literal goal of sanctions.

She also met privately with Netanyahu after his speech. She’s definitely more aware of the electoral consequences of supporting genocide than Biden. That’s an improvement. But to me its all hollow gestures for now. Candy coating for the election that will get dissolve once in office.

None of the actions at the protest went too far. All this is just asking for “less genocide” instead of “no genocide” which I view as genocide apologia.

Weasal words to associate the protestors with Hamas and antisemitism while ignoring the genocide they are protesting.

The US has been playing with these kinds of lasers for over a decade now. Last I saw a demonstration, the laser wasn’t powerful enough to just zap something. It had to focus on a warhead and heat it up until it exploded. It wouldn’t work on a missile in flight. Maybe they improved it, but I suspect the introduction of slow drones like the Iranian Shahed made it feasible.

The cost per shot was pennies a decade ago. But how fast can they shoot these? It must be able to shoot fast and constantly if you want to deal with swarms.

make cop training more like it is in civilized countries.

You mean instead of Israeli training? You don’t like you’re cops trained by tHe MoSt MoRaL aRmY iN tHe WoRlD?

We would easily be able to tell if an Alexa was constantly streaming audio data by monitoring its network traffic. It’d be just a wasteful inefficient implementation to stream everything 24/7. Makes much more sense to only start recording when it hears certain keywords that it can recognize locally beyond “Alexa”.

It can only recognize certain hotwords on its own, eg, Alexa. So its not recording 24/7 but it is listening 24/7 for hotwords. They could push additional words and start recording whenever they hear it.

wouldn’t shut up about him stepping down since the dude missed the toilet bowl fifty years ago

Thats one way to to phrase giving unconditional support for genocide and then completely blue-screening during a debate.

Manchin is running as an independent Senator in 2024. Giving him the nom would be the biggest “fuck you” to their voters.

Harris is the only logical choice. She’s not the best candidate but she can form coherent sentences and isnt surprising voters any more than Biden dropping.

You don’t have to replace them next election with a far left candidate, just one that won’t betray the party like those two shit-heads. You run the risk of losing the seat to the GOP but it was half GOP anyways and its worth it to maintain party discipline. Kick two senators out and no other senator is going to risk their career disobeying the party.

Also what this utter nonesense about maintaining the filibuster? It can be removed with a simple majority and the GOP does so whenever they have that majority. Its been that way for decades. Saying “It’d be nice if the GOP kept the filibuster when they were in power so we will keep it when we’re in power.” is absolute bullshit. Democrats aren’t naiive idealists, they just want excuses to not do what their voters want.
