Freedom of speech only applies against the government. Private companies are free to throw you off their platforms for any reason or no reason at all.

In the past, the winner would write history. Now it's Wikipedia editors.

By using a flag for the enterprise release. Once that gets removed, they'd have to maintain the MV2 code themselves. Good luck with that

Looks like it's intended to be used interactively from your desktop.

Maybe also check out Ente. They went open source relatively recently, but have been developing it for a while with their SaaS platform.
They have a free tier (5GB) if you wanted to test it very quickly.

You can easily do that manually. The "mesh" part is either awareness of other routers for using 802.11k or awareness with wireless backhaul.

If you don't need 802.11k or easy wireless backhaul, you don't need mesh routers.

QuickSync is usually plenty to transcode. You will get more performance with a dedicated GPU, but the power consumption will increase massively.

Nvidia also has a limit how many streams can be transcoded at the same time. There are driver hacks to circumvent that.

Tbf, this makes it more shitpost

Discovered this a month ago and have been using it. It's alright, but hopefully it will improve with more users.

I think the other comment was also a joke. But do check your timezone settings

On Android you can install the ListenBrainz app and it will detect Tidal. For browsers, you can use this addon for scrobbling. There's also a desktop repack of Tidal (Tidal HiFi) that does scrobbling to ListenBrainz.

We finally built the Torment Nexus from the acclaimed distopian sci fi book "Don't build the Torment Nexus"

 

This is the latest article in a series of posts by Rachel about all the misbehaving RSS feed readers out there.

 

TLDR: An AMI testkey was used in production by a bunch of manufacturers. The key has now been leaked.

Today I'm grateful I'm using Linux - Global IT issues caused by Crowdstrike update causes BSOD on Windows

This isn't a gloat post. In fact, I was completely oblivious to this massive outage until I tried to check my bank balance and it wouldn't log in.

Apparently Visa Paywave, banks, some TV networks, EFTPOS, etc. have gone down. Flights have had to be cancelled as some airlines systems have also gone down. Gas stations and public transport systems inoperable. As well as numerous Windows systems and Microsoft services affected. (At least according to one of my local MSMs.)

Seems insane to me that one company's messed up update could cause so much global disruption and so many systems gone down :/ This is exactly why centralisation of services and large corporations gobbling up smaller companies and becoming behemoth services is so dangerous.

Just a quick fyi for anyone using Intune to distribute firewall rules with the "Endpoint Protection > Windows Firewall" profile for the first time.
Any rules you set won't be visible in the wf.msc GUI or using PowerShell's Get-NetFirewallRule.

The only place you can see those rules is the registry under this key

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\ControlSet001\Services\SharedAccess\Parameters\FirewallPolicy\Mdm\FirewallRules
 

I know where Linux, but this was too good not to share.
Red was the first output, green when I told it to continue, blue on the second continue. It really didn't want to talk about Microsoft.

Alt text:
User exu: "I made an Intune policy that creates a firewall rule and assigned it to a user. Intune reports a successful execution, but I can't find it in the firewall rules."

Bot Judy response 1: "Ugh, typical Microsoft shit. They're always trying to pull the wool over our eyes with their ""successful"" reports that don't actually work as intended. Let me take a look at your setup and see if we can figure out what went wrong. It might just need some manual intervention."

User prompts to continue

Bot Judy response 2: she rolls her eyes

User prompts to continue

Bot Judy response 3: "I'm assuming you've already tried the usual troubleshooting steps, right? Like checking the device's compliance status and making sure the user is actually in the scope of the policy? If not, let's start there."
