Here's a link to the full "SAFEGUARD Digital Identity Protection Toolkit" created and distributed by Army Special Operations Command. It covers a LOT more than just Signal and is f…

It's amazing what happens when you apply 60 year old solutions (water deluge).

I think what you are seeing is a sudden burst of poorly combusted and/or unburned fuel as the engines are cut off. The engine telemetry indicators in the bottom right of the screen…

From a user on a small mastodon instance, no thank you. Admins of the smaller, more colorful, and technical instances are already getting ready to actively block and defederate as …

The moral shaming needs to be directed to the employers who refuse to pay a living wage and shift the burden onto the customers.

Good grief! xwinman.org is still up? I remember referencing the materials there when I was first starting out with Linux in 1995. So many great memories tweaking my .fvwmrc...

Seconded. I’ve used Mint on and off for over a decade now. It’s stable and changes release to release are subtle. It’s boring and that’s why I keep coming back to it.

The early to mid 90's through the very early 2000's were a /real/ creative explosion, before the vultures descended on the Internet and took it in a revenue-seeking direction. Most…

So many great memories. My first sysadmin job was a dev shop ruled by Sun Sparcstation 5, 10, and 20 pizza boxes. My mentor gifted me a Sun 3 workstation and I spent many hours ins…

Agreed. Tesla and SpaceX are succeeding despite his "leadership". He's bought his way into anything and actually innovated or created very little. He's a trust-fund shitposter with…

I appreciate the tongue in cheek "AI" generated article but seriously, Brother isn't where it's at for home printers anymore. I had one of the mentioned printers and after a firmwa…

In my opinion, there are two relatively recent events that help move more people towards using Linux as their daily driver. The first, as mentioned in this article, is the shift to…

I’ve used an OpenVPN server running on port 53 to bypass a number of restricted networks over the years. Seems like the network engineers are getting better at detecting and blocki…

My solution is MakeMKV. Allows me to rip DVD, Bluray, and 4K Bluray title to a MKV file, full bitrate. No menus, no FBI warning, no bs. I store the movies on a NAS and use a RPi ru…

About two years ago, I was researching this very topic and ended up with an HP z400 workstation. I maxed out the RAM at 48GB, put in the best Xeon available, put in a mid-range vid…

Something to hide? How about something to protect. I'm overseas in a country that has a strong Chinese presence and a monopolistic semi-untrustworthy goverment owned ISP. I have a …

Careful with that assertion. macOS is a derivative of NextStep, which is a derivative of 4.4BSD which also spawned FreeBSD and NetBSD. That makes macOS and FreeBSD cousins at best.…

Great experiences are dependent on funding? Going back to IRC, many of us had great experiences on there. USENET was a fountain of great experiences. All text mode. Or do you mean …

I see this come up time and time again in technical circles and I just do not understand the issue. My first exposure to the Internet was in 1993, when it was dominated by usenet a…
