Interesting SSH Authentication Mechanism (blog.cloudflare.com)
 

My first exposure to this and supposedly just a two line change to the SSH server configuration.

Anyone set this up on their own servers yet? Just for kicks?

"Fearing job loss, employees work longer hours for no additional pay, allowing employers to slash even more of the workforce."

Ugh.

Dodge Chargers Now Have Pop-Up Ads at Every Stoplight in c/[email protected]
[–] [email protected] 50 points 3 months ago (10 children)

Took my Dodge vehicle in for service. They wanted my email address "so they can get in touch with me if I don't answer the phone." I gave it to them.

It took less than half a day for the first spam mail to hit my inbox.

Read Beans and Rice (www.delish.com)
 

I love red beans and rice. Try to use real red beans rather than kidney beans if you can. As for the meat ingredients in this recipe, feel free to vary the ratio of meats and use more or less to taste.

Do you have a favorite RB&R recipe?

Alternative Beans for "Hummus" (www.mashed.com)
 

If you're not using chickpeas, it's not really hummus. However if you're willing to overlook that, other beans can be used similarly. One example is white beans.

You can see our light pollution fillth from space as well. For a long while now.

Not too many care about that either.

Another Take on the First Railroad Coming to Fort Worth (www.texasstandard.org)
 

At one point Fort Worth's population dropped from 3,000 to 600. Until the unified effort to bring the railroad to the town.

Recent History of Anasazi Beans (a federal crime today) (www.westword.com)
 

Dude was gifted a pocketful of 800+ year old beans by a ranger at Mesa Verde National Park. He took them home and managed to grow them, eventually turning the crop into part of his business.

Old Vickery Elementary School Restoration Attempt (www.wfaa.com)
 

The old Vickery Elementary School building, while dilapidated, still has nice bones. Hopefully the Beta Tau Lambda chapter of the Alpha Phi Alpha fraternity will have success in restoring it.

It's worth a drive-by if you ever get a chance. Walking past and around though is pretty dicey. There's a good supply of derelicts around and some use the place for overnight stays.

Comparisons of Grocery Stores and a few product offerings in Fort Worth (fortworthreport.org)
 

Shoppers tend to stick to a handful of stores they are comfortable with and don’t regularly compare prices. People are creatures of habit, he said, and retail stores take advantage of that.

The retail store can get away by offering you deep discounts on a few items, and they don’t need to offer you frequent discounts.

Advantages of Canned vs Dry Beans (www.tastingtable.com)
 

I would rather cook my dried beans from scratch. But this article has some arguments for when canned beans are superior.

Security updates should be mandatory. Something like safety recalls on a vehicle.

Our data. About us. Bought by our government. With tax money we gave them. How can I get a piece of this pie?

Yes, these companies they are buying from are getting rich off our tax money. Boycott Google? Not gonna happen. They just get your money indirectly.

Give it some time. Everyone's life priorities will change and something like this won't be at the top of the list.

And just like that, uninstalled their app from my Android mobile device. It wasn't that great anyway.

Besides speed, what would actually suck about surfing the internet back in the day compared to now? in c/[email protected]
[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 years ago

No mention of Mosaic (first web browser)? What sucked was you generally had to compile it yourself. That meant installing all the build tooling, building it, and turning it loose. Oh. Windows? Lol. No go. Gotta get an early version of Linux up and running first. That usually meant 20+ diskettes of Slackware installation.

But then you could surf in all the basic HTTP glory. It was a new world and it was awesome.

Just got a notice from my antivirus when I reloaded the lemmy.world Local Communities page, that I was protected by being blocked by something called derp.foo botnet. in c/[email protected]
[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 years ago

I got flagged on my work computer for connecting to derp foo (probably for an image). To satisfy security, had to remove all chrome extensions and reset chrome.

So I don't use Lemmy on my work computer anymore. That's sad.

[help] Learning to code in c/[email protected]

  • Hello World
  • Read a file
  • Write a file
  • Read a file and loop through it line by line, printing each one (for loop or equivalent)
  • Program that consists of 2 or more source files

What I'm getting at is instead of a full program, write code snippets and small programs. In doing this eventually an idea for something larger will pop into your head.
