nomad@infosec.pubto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•If someone gave you 5 billion dollars to improve the world in any way you see fit, what would you do?9·6 days agoLet’s congratulate you for being the only poster that did not want to go on a killing spree. If you want to change the world, you can do that by killing people. If you want to improve the world and start that with killing people you will never succeed. Thanks for that.
Leftist fascism killing people is not better than right wing fascism killing people. In the end everybody is dead and nothing is better. People after the second world war understood that. We have forgotten that and start looking for blood again, just to learn that expensive and painful lesson again.

nomad@infosec.pubto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•Those of you that back your vehicle into parking spots, why do you do it?4·7 days agoBacking in is the correct way to parallel park too.
That’s because the rear axle is immovable.

nomad@infosec.pubto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•They put A.I. in my truck. It warns me of everything I do wrong verbally. It reports everything to HQ. It is from a company called Solera. I take offense to this. Am I wrong? What can I do? Anything?7·12 days agoNot currently but it’s a software dev company anyways. We have to logistics software though. And not the asshole kind.

I take offense to this. Am I wrong? What can I do? Anything?612·12 days agoWhen i was fed up with the bosses in my cushy job, I made the job more cushy by starting my independent company. Same work, more money, no assholes treating me like shit and i learned from that. Now my colleges also have a cushy job, with a competent, nice boss.

nomad@infosec.pubto World News@lemmy.world•Germany’s Merz vows to build Europe’s strongest armyEnglish2·16 days agoGiven the rise of the far right in Germany, I tend to agree. This would bundle EU resources and take control from single States in case the far right takes over.
I’d very much like that the right not take control of the strongest EU army right after we build it.
Art lies in the eye of the observer.
nomad@infosec.pubto Showerthoughts@lemmy.world•I wonder if antivax kids are OK getting a cootie shot?73·17 days agoGosh. Normal people get an education and learn how these things work. And now you don’t have to trust the government or anybody for that matter because it makes sense and it works.
You don’t have to be a car specialist to know that is you put gasoline in it, it goes if you need it.
nomad@infosec.pubto News@lemmy.world•‘Inverse vaccines’: the promise of a ‘holy grail’ treatment for autoimmune diseases71·17 days agoThis is actually a very promising thing that is currently in phase 2 trials for celiac disease. The main problem with it is that you have to give the patient what triggers his disease to unlearn the thing from the system. Meaning if you are deadly allergic, this would still kill you. Recent research suggests that really small doses can still help to reduce the immune response over time (study about peanut allergy if i remember correctly).
My son was recently diagnosed with celiac. And although living with it is no big thing, and I’m not looking forward to him puking his guts out a few times, I’m hoping this will heal him permanently as celiac often is a cause for cancer later in life due to regular micro exposure. And celiac does not go away by itself right for that reason.
I’m excited for my friends with multiple sclerosis. The medication helps keeping the disease in check, but they still have to go through some of the attacks. One of those inflammation attacks could be their last ever with this treatment.
So: very hopeful, I have an alert on the study results, they are due any day now. The bookmark is on my desktop though, so might add that later if there is wider interest.
nomad@infosec.pubto Mildly Interesting@lemmy.world•14 nurses at the same hospital are pregnant at the same time14·20 days agoLuigi had a brief stay, for 14 hours.
nomad@infosec.pubto No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•Why Do Sovereign Citizens Keep Pursuing Unsuccessful Legal Defenses?14·21 days agoAn interesting addendum to your question: this is not a exclusively US based phenomenon. In Germany there are the Reichsbürgers they have similar ideas.
They think legally the state has no claim to rule and most people just don’t know they still live in the German Reich still.
So they have their own king selling them passports and they have pretty aggressive group think to try and enforce their claims.
My wife’s dad is one of them. The main thing I recognize comes from a pathological need to know better than everybody else. It’s very tightly coupled to their sense of worth and identity. They are better than everybody else because they have seen the light.
Pretty culty behavior and just enough pseudo truth to keep simple minds saying “yeah there might be something there”. Like “vaccination causes autism, they just don’t want you to know”.
Makes a loser in societies eyes, but a superhuman in their eyes. And yes, they still run into a wall and just keep trying to adjust their angle to hit that sacred sweet spot. Because now they need to prove how they are better and as they already have sacrificed so much they can’t be wrong to continue. (Just like a gambler who already lost a lot.)
So it’s a few psychological dynamics that grip into each other like gears and that ratchet them ever so tightly to their belief until there is no turning back.
nomad@infosec.pubto Selfhosted@lemmy.world•Encrypted boot drive and unattended rebootsEnglish41·23 days agoFunnily enough I have written a system to do exactly that as a bachelor’s theses for IT security.
Places client certificates and a client inside the initrd and requests securely the key to unlock.
The sever waits for you to approve the request before providing the key. The key is only held in memory during boot.
I had a version that included for a hidden key provider and planned for a version that included time based auto unlocks etc.
I was planning to package that and release it as open source.
Still might do that.

nomad@infosec.pubto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•Is anyone else suddenly waking up super early for no reason?3·25 days agoSame here, but it’s probably an eroded feeling is safety due to relationship troubles with kids.
Organic maps imports all business locations from google maps Afaik. Just import your own kml file to drop the pins. Even supports multiple different location markers. Live position tracking included and navigation if you ever want to return. No self hosting required at all.
Nobody considers the risk of them going up in flames at night. They have a temp trip safety, but there is still some risk left. Especially for cheap Chinese power blocks.
