I’m the administrator of kbin.life, a general purpose/tech orientated kbin instance.
Yeah. Pretty sure back in the 90s, no one actively used GiB. Well, MiB (not the will Smith one) more likely back then.
You said it was 8mb of memory and people knew, it would be the nearest power of 2. You’d say 120mb hdd, and well, going to be honest a lot of people said it was “formatting losses”. I don’t think most people were aware they were being fleeced back then.
This was my thought too. 64GB is 64GB (powers of 2) when it comes to RAM unlike storage media. So if it shows as less, something is allocating it at or before boot.
I boot into windows every time that one NTFS partition I never converted gets locked for needing a check… Come on kernel 7.1. I need that new ntfs with the fsck tool!
Yeah I could convert it. But there’s some stuff on there I might want to run from windows, once every 1.5 years or something.
Yeah one of them was Debian 12 for sure.
I mean I updated my servers and some of them on LTS releases that were not the very latest one were still vulnerable after a reboot. Hence I disabled the module on those servers. So it’s worth checking your version definitely has a fix available.
Just to note, if you are on an LTS version (which many people running servers will be), it’s likely an upgrade will not solve this. In which case you should check your installed version and if not yet corrected, disable that module. For most people it is not used anyway.
The only RGB things I have is an NVidia 3080, and the RGB ram. Unplugging those would cause me a problem. I could set them to off. But, they’re there now. So I make them Borg green.
But if either of them (or the case) cost me more to have the RGB/Glass I’d not have gotten them. It’s absolutely not something I care about.
You’re not kidding. I have no real interest in RGB. But it was cheaper to buy a case with a glass panel and the RGB ram of the same spec was cheaper than non RGB… I just made all the LEDs Borg green and left it that way.
Hey, it was really better times when you could have your computer in any colo(u)r you wanted, so long as it was beige.
Way way back. I was given a 486 (when pentium 90/100s were normal) at work to run the experimental internet connection on (the head of the company at the time didn’t think this internet fad would last). So I installed some magazine coverdisk linux and connected the office to the internet via a single modem.
I think it had a peak uptime of 550 days before it was replaced.
windows is crashing linux is flowering, with linux there is no old pc only bad OS.
Unless it is a 486 and you want to stay current :P
I was also thinking that. As an example, retail work seems to me to be a kind of hell I don’t think I’d want to endure. But I know people that really enjoy it. So it’s probably true of any job you might think is only done by those that are forced to.
I think, if AI and robotics replace most jobs. After some years of pain when capitalists enjoy the infinite money glitch they’ve discovered, there will either be a revolution or a natural coming to understand that things need to work differently.
Now, understand this would only work if the vast majority of work could be done via automation. In this case the vast majority of people would be able to pursue what they enjoy, a bit like the star trek anti-economy. If all remaining required jobs were no longer filled by those that volunteered to do them, there would be some kind of draft (think like jury duty), where people able to do a job have a chance to be called in to do it for a few months then released back to pursue their own interests.
I’ve always seen capitalism as the carrot on a stick we need, when we need human productivity from the vast majority of people. If that’s no longer the case, it’s not a suitable solution and all the ideas like universal basic income are just stopgap measures to try to eke a bit more time out of the capitalist system that has already run past the point where we can keep enough people usefully employed to make it work. That’s almost certainly the reason we’re seeing the huge wealth disparity that increases. As the productivity per person goes up, all the increased value only ever rises to the top.
Bit of a mini rant there, sorry about that.
I’m not saying you’re wrong. But you realise how that reads right? It sounds like you’re saying we should keep a boot on the neck of “the little people” so the rest of us can have a good life.
If you set the ip of the router to fe80::1 then anything directly connected should be fine to connect using that address.
The thing is. Any year can be the year of IPv6. Google is on ipv6, youtube is on ipv6, facebook is on ipv6. Pretty much every datacentre I’ve used (OK limited to Europe) give you IPv6 for free by default. Deploying a web site to be IPv4 and IPv6 is trivial and people that use automation should be able to quite easily apply ipv6 to those scripts.
It’s really just the ISPs (more so in the US as I understand it), lazy IT people and the FUD myths holding us back at this point.
IPv6. No. Badly configured IPv6 routers, yes. But that’s something that would fix itself if it became the only protocol in use. And most routers now are pretty good at it from what I’ve seen. But it used to be the case it was easy to find bad routers.
The myth seems to be that NAT provides security. But a good default configuration for consumer routers would give the same security as NAT while providing the advantages and extra security IPv6 provides.
IPv6 usually has privacy extensions enabled. Which means it will generate throwaway IP addresses that rotate regularly for your outgoing connections, these IPs do not accept incoming connections. So someone cannot nmap you to find open ports based on the IP you connected to their server with.
Not to mention that most ISPs give each user more IPs than the whole IPv4 internet has. So, port scanning an entire /64 is not going to be fun.
Well you could accept the default generated one, or set it to fe80::1 manually. Don’t most good routers now have a DNS server in? So you could make it router.local or something?
I think some even by default make a DNS entry call router.local or similar pointing to themselves. This isn’t a real problem and if IPv6 were adopted fully, then all routers would likely come with something like this setup anyway.
However, my understanding is that this could be exploited only by authenticated users with permission to add new media. Not like that’s a risk to ignore, but it’s not like it could be exploited by anyone on the Internet.
I wonder if that’s the reason for setting the default live TV management permission to false. Since that permission might well the the route to adding your own malicious m3u link for that second change.
Reverse proxy will let anyone connect to it. VPN, you can create keys/logins for your intended users only. Having said that, from what I could see, nothing in the security fixes were to do with authentication. I think (just from a cursory look), they could only be exploited, if at all from an authenticated user session.
But personally, something like jellyfin where the number of people I want to be able to access it is very limited, stays behind a VPN. Better to limit your potential attack surface as much as you can.
If you see a ticker board like that, wake up. Or actually don’t. Use it as a trigger to know you’re dreaming and have a nice lucid dream.
