What if I had a firewall installed in Linux

A previous company of mine, required an "AntiVirus" installed on the Linux computers too.
The one the IT guy installed, ran in the background all the time, doing nobody-knows-what and and slowing down every thing and having multiple segfaults in a minute, shown in the journal.

Long after I left, I also saw an RCE vulnerability related to it. So essentially, my system would have been more secure without the app.

I am having difficulty understanding whether it broke its own cycle and is now crying, or broke someone else's cycle and is now being intimidating.

Oh, and also, all the information in your CV that you also painstakingly rewrote into our forms, is going to be spread around to other companies who will use it to send you spam and phishing messages.

Good luck with your future endeavours of staying sane with others trying to get money out of you, that you don't have.

Damn reasonable people pushing back the Nuclear Apocalypse, the Global Heating Armageddon, return to Dark Ages and all such major fun events/s.

Reading this thread, I kinda feel weird.

When I was a child, I use to take tablets for headache (no idea which ones. I was a child.) and almost every time, the headache came back more intense than before, when the effect wore off.

Later, I started understanding that headaches (and other pains) happen for a reason and it is better to find out the reason and fix it, than just turn off the alarm.

So now, even if I get hurt due to something, I say no to pain relievers. This has even saved me from re-injuring a previous injury a few times.

  • Sprained ankle / back pain : exercise and yoga.
  • Cramps from exercise: next time do proper stretching after exercise.
  • menstruation: I have no idea. never had that. sorry. But I can say for sure, people around me don't tend to resort to taking pills all the time. Even those that have it hard.
  • broke a ligament: definitely don't take a pill, or you won't realise if you are about to break it again.

Over here, pain management pills seems more like a last resort and not to be used for something that happens regularly. So, reading about it being treated like cereal, feels pretty weird.

So you realise that when a lawsuit has a larger corporate backing, they get to bribe the arbitrator more than you and now you back off from arbitration.

Sad that this cannot be done to companies that already agree with others.

The cucumber just fell out of a peddler's basket who was moving ahead of the woman under the tree.

I don't get how that's going to help with multiple keys on my cheap keyboard not registering properly, when pressed at the same time.

IMHO, nKRO is the best solution to get rid of ghosting.

The wall of text was the error message.

I just prefer using the parsed outputs from IDEs which also take you to the line of code on click.

It becomes increasingly difficult to add a subconscious actions with age. And I didn't consider it worth the effort.

I could still drive on a highway with low traffic. And I have never seen an automatic transmission yet.

Yeah, I did driving lessons once and realised it was too late for me to start learning driving.
So I decided to be the stupid people with their bicycle and I'm much happier.

I feel much more in control when I am the motor and tend to get much better reaction times. On top of that, the lack of vision blocking, making it easier on my low situational awareness.

It's way cheaper too.

Relevant Article: Asian News International sues Wikipedia for "Defamation" and Archived version

Apparently, Delhi High Court asked Wikipedia to disclose information about editors of said article, which made some controversial edits on the Wikipedia ANI page.

The article states that Wikipedia failed to provide said information.

From the article

Wikipedia explained that the delay had been caused as the platform didn’t have any physical presence in India.

β€œIt is not a question of the defendant not being an entity in India. We will close your business transactions here," the judge said in a stark warning.

ANI asks for removal of said "controversial" edits and wants β‚Ή20000000, ~$240k from Wikipedia.


Archived original article


From the related article:

2022-10-10: Ayurvedic Medicine Manufacturers of India filed petitions to the Supreme Court, saying that an article on Wikipedia about them, as defamatory. To that, the bench said, "You can edit the Wikipedia article..." and that they could use "any other remedy available to them".


Additional information from me:

  • IP Addresses of people in Talk and the times of edit are available freely on the Wikipedia page.
  • Wikipedia SHOULD NOT be expected to have the ability to trace people on the internet any more than that.
 

I came across a stackexchange thread asking if system root access will be required to be given to the user.

And the answer explaining the license and saying they needed to let the user be able to swap the libs on the system somehow.

And because I just joined the community and can't comment there, here I am.

I feel like, the seller doesn't really need to give root access to the user as long as they allow the user to copy said proprietary software on another system (and this act not be restricted by the license) and then do whatever they feel like, as long as the original system is immutated.

Thoughts?

Came back to the game after a year or so, just to see this:

Shows how to opt-out

At least they let us disagree to the ToC. Not sure if I can play the game after that though, since I just exited after clicking the disagree button.

Also, at least they show us the changes on the top, so we know what happened.

 

Would it make sense to consider asking Tokodon to support connecting with Lemmy servers, or is there too big a difference between the APIs, requiring a separate application?
