"On a side note, I'd like to point out that my testing shows this issue, keeping the group of the original user, appears to only affect Linux. On FreeBSD group permissions were already dropped, as they were on OpenBSD, and (I think) NetBSD. Linux was the odd one out for keeping the calling user's groups. And I think this patch is worthwhile to bring Linux into the fold so it is no longer an exception."

“France’s President Emmanuel Macron said Tuesday that recognition of a Palestinian state was not a ‘taboo subject’ but that it should take place at a ‘useful moment’.

A useful moment… Like when, motherfucker? When they’re all dead? :0_goose:

Just remember that Macron kept talking for months with Russia after it invaded Ukraine, and that he kept repeating that Russia "should not be humiliated" in Ukraine.

That tells you everything you need to know about this PoS who is unfortunately the President of my country.

Americans cults these days are basically racist Christian Nationalists MAGA white power pseudo-political structures.

Thank Cthulhu, Europeans keep alive the tradition of the sex orgies guru-knows-best, one love, one planet cults.

What both of these have in common is a love of money, money, money.

I am definitely going to start my own... uh... "alt-religion" soon, as I need a retirement plan of some kind.

I think Michelin would be slightly more critical than that.

Something like: "Mostly harmless backwater, unfortunately not as nice as it used to be, since the inhabitants have discovered nuclear cooking.

The diversity of dishes has been going down and the place now distinctly looks seedier than in the past.

You can stop there for a quick nostalgic bite if you saw it in better times, but it can be safely avoided otherwise. You won't miss much".

The owner of the facility was famous. Well, Meta famous if you know what i mean. Famous for being a famous rich asshole, dedicating his twilight years to outliving all the other famous rich assholes.

Collectively the six trillionaire oligarchs who had built their burrows—each on their agreed post-apocalypse continental domains—had all hired the same experts to design those enclaves. Location: deep in the ancient stable rock of a continental craton. Supplies: Food, water and medicines to last a century, until farming could resume. Knowledge: a full archive of the Internet. Technology: every conceivable machine and the parts and tools to maintain them. Serfs: entirely separate accommodation for necessary technical staff, and hibernation for many more. Security: no, not the armed-thugs-with-shock-collars you’re thinking of; spider drones are what’s in favour with apocalypse consultants this decade.

When the Event came it blindsided even the Six. While everyone was watching the climate fall apart, the brown dwarf grazing the Oort cloud went unnoticed, obscured by the glare of the Starlink Belt. A million comets had their orbits stirred up by the visitor. It only took one, impacting in the south atlantic ocean, to tip the biosphere into chaos predicted to last three to five decades.

The balloon was up, the Six and their families executed the well rehearsed Plan Scram, and settled into their cosy bunkers to wait out the Dark Times. Serfs (sorry, “employees” in this decade) likewise. Human security personnel (unknowingly already inoculated with a delayed death sentence once their mechanoid replacements were online) set about battening down the hatches and bringing up the Evironment (2.0).

“Hey Sarge, this droid won’t boot!”

“Yeah this one too. What does ‘502 License server unreachable’ mean?”

Seriously, though, I suspect a lot of people use Google because hey, it works, and because a long time ago, they promised that they would not be evil, that they would be a different kind of company.

We won't get fooled again.

How much alone time vs socializing do you need?

For me there are a few people who are usually equalizing, and I can just be around them, so I won't count that. But generally, I find about 3 times a week, I'm game for socializing. A day in between to rest is usually nice, but the larger the gathering or if we go somewhere particularly noisy or I'm meeting new people that involves more effort, and my social battery empties sooner. I'm very curious where everyone else falls on this!

My little Python scripts can now spout "technical-oriented" nonsense...:

Another important detail the stripped-down Apache web server can secure SQL queries.

Surprisingly the rarely updated OSS sound server scrambles in most public clouds.

Digging into the HTML specifications, I am usefully reminded of the 'hidden' HTML function.

So, adding some (hidden) technical-sounding nonsense to every page of my blog could result in poisoning a very very small fraction of the AI scraping my articles.

Worth a try. Especially since generating a lot of nonsense is essentially instantaneous on my main machine.

For those who aren’t aware, Microsoft have decided to bake essentially an infostealer into base Windows OS and enable by default.

From the Microsoft FAQ: “Note that Recall does not perform content moderation. It will not hide information such as passwords or financial account numbers."

Info is stored locally - but rather than something like Redline stealing your local browser password vault, now they can just steal the last 3 months of everything you’ve typed and viewed in one database.
