Hey! Please contact me at my primary Fedi account: @lemann@lemmy.dbzer0.com
In the day and age of streaming sercices like Spotify, record labels/companies like Sony Music etc should not exist IMO.
Back when people purchased their music from brick and mortar stores on vinyls, cassettes, and CDs, they had a place to facilitate a relationship with distributors etc to get your music on the shelves, handle marketing and a bunch of other stuff. Nowadays, this all can be done digitally, independently.
Edit: clarify record label

A nice eye searing lime green that I used to use a bit when I first got into web development. Originally copied from goodness knows where lol.
Now I use it in my current job alongside the color red when designing CSS grids
I miss seeing the “Macromedia Shockwave” loading screen when firing up online games on Win 98 back in the day 😢
It kinda depends on the setup I think, especially when vlans and firewalls are involved, you’d likely need additional payloads to make further progress in that kind of environment IMO. Something granting persistent remote access to the compromised machine would be the most ideal option.
As always physical access is pretty much game over though lol.
My cams are only accessible via an authenticated endpoint hosted on a dedicated machine, which acts as a “bridge” between the VLAN that the cameras are on (no internet access), and another VLAN hosting internal services, like home assistant, plex etc.
Aside from physical access, the only way to access the cams (that I can think of) would be via some exploit in Home Assistant, or by brute forcing the password to (any of) my network switches to access the management VLAN, changing the VLAN the cameras are set on to something else (bypassing the routing, firewall setup, and auth “bridge” entirely). Or maybe just exploiting the bridge machine directly and dropping a payload to forward the cams out to the net via the services VLAN
With physical access, you could chop up the PoE for an external camera and using that as an ingress point - but you’d only have access to the cameras and the bridge machine unless you exploited that too. At this point the zabbix client on the bridge machine would have notified me that a camera’s dropped off the network, unless you dropped a payload to force it to return a good status lol
Does sound like a very fun exercise though tbh
100% this is the best choice for op IMO.
A big pro is that they literally don’t need any Google services whatsoever by the sounds of things
Seems like a smart strategy, sounds a lot like a bus but just automated and much smaller in size, particularly running through residential areas that are typically seen as not worth transport investment.
The minivans are probably much easier to climb into (for injured or impaired individuals) compared to an SUV which may have an unnecessarilly high ride height and a door that doesn’t slide across for extra room
Very classy merc 👌
The owner clearly cares for that thing well - the finish, bodywork and chrome-like elements look absolutely immaculate
Mic drop
Dang, that thing is the bees knees!
Would make more sense to replace just the batteries rather than the whole unit IMO. Looks like it takes standard 12v 7Ah sealed lead acid batteries, so should be doable for under $120 (if you buy them individually and use the existing battery harness)
I have three other UPSes, but none of them are as good as yours lol:
Edit: fix bullet list formatting
I agree here entirely.
The article is pretty much at fault here, as far as the bot is concerned if garbage goes in, garbage comes out
Nice, thanks for the link 👌
Adobe is the one company i’d never, ever, ever want to support, especially with a subscription. 🏴☠️ all day every day
The tldr bot is pulling directly from the article - it used to use ChatGPT wayy back when it was originally created, but it got expensive for the creator, so now I believe it uses some sentence interpreter library to compare relevance of paragraphs, in combination with semantic HTML tags/markup.
The code for it is on GitHub
Flash drive hidden under the carpet and connected via a USB extension, holding the decryption keys - threat model is a robber making off with the hard drives and gear, where the data just needs to be useless or inaccessible to others.
There’s a script in the initramfs which looks for the flash drive, and passes the decryption key on it to cryptsetup, which then kicks off the rest of the boot mounting the filesystems underneath the luks
I could technically remove the flash drive after boot as the system is on a UPS, but I like the ability to reboot remotely without too much hassle.
What I’d like to do in future would be to implement something more robust with a hardware device requiring 2FA. I’m not familiar with low level hardware security at all though, so the current setup will do fine for the time being!
Steroids? They’ve done a complete speedrun lol
Imagine if it was a more mundane issue, let’s say the air line in a carriage has blown out and none of the doors work under their own power. Roll the train into the third party workshop to carry out the fix… a copyright notice flags up on the panel screen and now you’ve got a long 20 ton dead brick in your workshop
Imagine this happened with cars, that would be outrageous man
With the fake parts scandal for airplanes I wonder if this should be mandatory for parts that impact public safety for public transport like trains, buses, planes and so on.
Airplanes are vastly more complex though. Four engines, flying at extremely high altitudes at hundreds of km/h, fully airtight, powerful onboard generators, food prep areas, bathroom etc, extensive ethernet networking for the small IFE units and WiFi access points, list goes on…
Whereas a train doesn’t have anything close to that, even the high speed ones with all the bells and whistles, so I think it would be a bit unreasonable to expect them to be held to the same standards as an airplane.
The only train I’d suggest an exception for would be a maglev though - OEM parts only there please, especially for traction and em equipment 😳
Dont get me wrong, I want a full right to repair enshrined in law and using a system like this just to prevent it is clearly wrong, but if it could be adapted to allow for critical parts to be made under license by third parties and helped prevent fake parts then may be a small amount of good can come from this shitty practice.
Some independent validation of the manufacturing materials, their grade and assembly quality could work well here, since I’m not too sure if blindly trusting the parts manufacturers would be a great idea as long as they have profits in mind
I’m in the same boat as @shnizmuffin@lemmy.inbutts.lol, lab has been nice and stable and have nothing to contribute as of yet.
At the beginning of the migration I was popping in and out of r/homelab, but as it stands now I haven’t visited there in ages!
It was purchased by Epic Games a year ago, who recently sold it to Songtradr, a licensing platform for background/‘mood’ music. Songtradr only retained 50% of existing Bandcamp staff (the rest were laid off a few weeks after the sale AFAICT, with the worst affected departments including Bandcamp’s editorial team and customer support. Epic Games handled the severance package, for some reason.)
People are pretty upset about the editorial team being laid off because it provided exposure for smaller/niche artists in a weekly publication. I’ve never checked it out personally checked it out because I never knew it existed - wishing I had now
Such a large layoff so quickly by the new owner feels like a sign of darker times ahead for Bandcamp IMO, seeing that it’s apparently been profitable since 2012 (Wayback link, new owners have nuked this from the site?). No need to milk the cow even more when the bucket is full…
