Live updates: FBI investigating apparent assassination attempt of Trump in Florida | CNN Politics
  • Assassination would be good for MAGA. They'd worship him as a martyr.

    I'd like Trump to die ASAP. From natural causes, like a heart attack from eating too much McD's.

    TIL: How The New York Times Lied During the Red Scare in the 1950’s and Now They are Lying Again about Israel
  • You're using the New York Times to support the idea that the New York Times didn't support the war.

    What do you think could be an issue with using that evidence?

    Nothing? It's literally the primary source.

    Did NYT support the war? Let's look at the opinion pieces they published about the war.

    The debate accomplished more for Harris than it did for Trump
  • Trump: incoherent rambling about immigrants stealing then eating pets and Democrat governors aborting newborns

    Kamala: "He lost the election, and he's clearly having a hard time processing that."

    Startup accuses Nvidia and Microsoft of infringing on patents and forming a cartel
  • Yeah, I think so.

    At first, Xockets sounded like a legit tech company to me. But a closer look at their website reveals that it's actually run by a bunch of patent attorneys.

    Review: Turris Omnia, a FOSS wifi router, NAS and Server, based on a highly improved OpenWRT, with BTRFS!
  • Part of it is the community. I really like the OpenWRT community, but it's harder to engage with them when you run a downstream distribution.

    But also I'm a bit of a hacker (in the traditional sense). I like to experiment with custom builds of OpenWRT. (And FWIW, their build system uses the same menuconfig as Linux.)

    Review: Turris Omnia, a FOSS wifi router, NAS and Server, based on a highly improved OpenWRT, with BTRFS!
  • I love my Turris Omnia!

    I got the one with the WiFi 6 card. The cool thing is that you can easily open it up and replace parts.

    I run the upstream OpenWRT rather than the customized version by Turris. They are good about submitting patches upstream.

    What is the largest file transfer you have ever done?
  • +1

    From an order of magnitude perspective, the max is terabytes. No "normal" users are dealing with petabytes. And if you are dealing with petabytes, you're not using some random poster's program from reddit.

    For a concrete cap, I'd say 256 tebibytes...

    X to close operations in Brazil 'effective immediately'
  • I think they're just stopping operations of the company in Brazil.

    But I don't think they're going out of the way to prevent Brazilian IPs from connecting.

    All Windows users should immediately update their computers. An exploit rated 9.8/10 (CVE-2024-38063) compromises all devices running Windows with an IPv6 address.
  • Where I work, everything is on IPv6. Both the infrastructure for the software services that we run, and our own internal corporate network.

    My ISP also provides publicly routable IPv6 prefixes over DHCP. Any layman in my city with this ISP will be on IPv6 by default.

    I also use IPv6 for my LAN.

    Like, it's just kind of the default in my neck of the woods...

    CrowdStrike shareholders sue over global outage, say company concealed info - National | Globalnews.ca
  • [S]hareholders said they learned that CrowdStrike’s assurances about its technology were materially false and misleading when a flawed software update disrupted airlines, banks, hospitals and emergency lines around the world.

    I don't see how they can make this argument.

    Falcon is a kernel module. When kernel modules fuck up, you get kernel panics.

    Sure, the layperson may not know enough about computers to recognize this, but it's a basic enough fact about operating systems that an investor in a company like this should take the time to learn. It's not like they hid that fact.

    If you invested in a company without knowing how their product works, that's on you.

    What type of music is predominant on this community?
  • Random Access Memories by Daft Punk is my favorite album of all time.

    Recently, I've been listening to Ænima by TOOL.

    I could listen to anything by A Devil Makes Three.

    Grace by Jeff Buckley ranks pretty highly for me.

    Spotify has a playlist called "Songs To Test Headphones With" that I like a lot.

    In general, I like anything with a lot of sounds and layers to groove to.

    Guns Are Woven Into the Life of Trump Rally Shooter’s Hometown
  • The rally was in Butler, a deep red town in the next county north of Pittsburgh.

    The shooter was from Bethel Park, closer to and on the other side of Pittsburgh. There's a subway line from Bethel Park to downtown Pittsburgh.

    Pittsburgh itself is very blue. I'd call Bethel Park purple. It's definitely more suburban than rural.

  • On my "subscribed" page, if I scroll down, the app crashes. Not sure of anything more than that. But it's definitely repeatable for me.

    cbarrick.dev Encoding tic-tac-toe in 15 bits

    I recently stumbled upon a blog post by Alejandra González (a.k.a @blyxyas) that seeks to compress a tic-tac-toe game state into as few bits as possible. She arrived at a solution in 18 bits. This got me thinking, can we do better?

    TL;DR

    • Canada plays in Toronto on June 12 and Vancouver on June 18 and June 24.

    • USA plays in LA on June 12 and June 25 and Seattle on June 19.

    • Mexico plays in Mexico City on June 11 and June 24 and Guadalajara on June 18.

    • Semifinals in Dallas and Atlanta. Bronze Final in Miami. Final in NYC.

    The article has a nice graphic schedule you can download if you want to plan travel to specific cities. Groups have not been drawn yet, so we only know USA, CAN, and MEX.

    GBoard (Google's keyboard for Android) has a GIF entry feature.

    Sync properly uploads the GIF from GBoard to my Lemmy instance, but the GIF does not play in the comments, and clicking on it returns an error "image was actually a web page!"

    For the record, they're not technically GIFs. GBoard uploads the image as WebM.

    This seems like a user journey that should be supported. Android users who use Google's keyboard to input a GIF comment would expect it to work or throw an error at upload time. Instead, Sync allows us to submit such comments, but they are broken upon viewing.

    Do people intentionally disconnect mid battle?

    I've seen a ton of DCs, both early in the game and late.

    It really hurts my enjoyment of the game. Like, even if we're getting smoked, I'd rather stick around and work as a team to the end. I mean, it's only a couple minutes. And a DC counts as a loss anyway.

    It's really frustrating to see all of these DCs. Are people really rage quitting, or is it just bad networking?

    Edit: I just got Splatoon 3 for Christmas, but I'm a veteran of the series. Rage quitting did not seem to be as big of a problem in the previous two games.
