Democrats Finally Try Something New on Oversight Committee in c/politics@lemmy.world
[–] aseriesoftubes@lemmy.world 5 points 1 day ago

TNR isn’t what I’d call the mainstream media. They’re pretty upfront about their ideological positions, unlike the New York Times or Washington Post or Reuters, which twist themselves into knots trying to be “neutral.”

Trump used Juneteenth to denounce ‘nonworking holidays.’ Some political observers say it wasn’t a coincidence in c/news@lemmy.world

Fucking duh.

I’d go a step further and say that this was intended to paint black folks as “nonworking” and lazy. Most likely a dogwhistle cooked up in the diseased brain of Stephen Miller.

US asks China to stop Iran from closing Strait of Hormuz in c/world@lemmy.world

I hope Iran waits until a couple months before the midterms to close the Strait. Nothing like sky-high oil prices to swing an election.

Trump Organization announces mobile plan, $499 smartphone in c/politics@lemmy.world

MADE IN THE USA

My goodness, they’ve found a way to open chip foundries, screen factories, and mass machining factories all within 150 days! Who needs democracy or due process or science policy when you have results like that?!

Press X to doubt.

Charlie Kirk: "My whole life, I've heard people complain about traffic on the 405. Mass deportations will help solve that." in c/fuckcars@lemmy.world
[–] aseriesoftubes@lemmy.world 16 points 2 weeks ago (9 children)

Way back in the day, a comic (Carlin maybe?) did a less-dumb version of this joke. Something along the lines of “I’m pro-abortion and I’m pro-death-penalty. I’m pro- whatever leads to fewer people on the 405 at rush hour.”

Walmart’s Billionaire Heiress Buys Full-Page Ad Urging People To ‘Mobilize’ At June 14 Anti-Trump Protests in c/politics@lemmy.world

I was initially suspicious after just reading the headline. But after reading the article, I am… slightly less suspicious.

She isn’t an heiress in the sense that most people would think of the term. That is, she wasn’t born into the family and has never been involved with the “family business.” Rather, she married a Walton heir who died, and she inherited her wealth from him.

All I’m saying is that, wealth and surname not withstanding, she could be a decent person with decent motives.

Credit card and email address leaked online. Charges cancelled, card replaced. What else do I need to do? (lemmy.world)
 

I use an email alias system to create a unique email address every time I sign up for a site.

Today, I started receiving unusual email on one of those addresses. My credit card provider also let me know that someone was trying to use my credit card to book airfare. I know exactly which site my data leaked from since I used a unique email alias to register for that site. I contacted that site and told them they've been breached.

I also called my credit card company. They're reversing the charge and issuing me a new card.

I'm still worried because I'm receiving lots of "here's your login code" and "new user registration" emails at the alias address. I can just kill the alias and I won't receive these messages again, but I'm interested in seeing what they're up to. Can these messages still be used for nefarious purposes? I obviously don't click links in any emails I don't recognize, and access to my main email account is secured behind three-factor authentication, so I don't see how someone would actually be able to retrieve one of these login codes.

Since the genius who used my credit card number tried to book a flight, I also have her name and a 50-50 shot at her location. Should I report her to local authorities?

I'm in the US.

Why shouldn't I use this motherboard to build a router? (lemmy.world)
 

This Topton-brand mini-ITX motherboard on AliExpress seems like a pretty decent choice for an Opnsense/Pfsense-based home router setup. It has four Intel 2.5gbe ports, an integrated 10W TDP CPU, and way more storage options than necessary for my use case.

However, I’m leery of just about everything from AliExpress. In this case, I assume security is probably a distant consideration after function and price point.

Am I being overly paranoid? Are products like this riddled with back doors and other exploitable components? Has anyone else out there built a router using this board?

Changing permissions for /var/lib/docker (lemmy.world)
 

Is it a bad idea to recursively change the permissions for the /var/lib/docker directory? That directory is owned by root:root and the permissions are rwx--x---.

I'm hoping to be able to access my named volumes without using sudo so that I can easily back them up.
