  • I think with respect to the bodies, you should read up about Noble, Georgia, USA.

    Dead bodies are ABSOLUTELY dealt with in very stupid ways because they are a pain to deal with, heavy, and people doing their jobs aren’t thinking “what will this look like when it is found or on sattelite imagery”. They throw a few bodies on a pile to deal with later, then a few more because they are too busy or the crematorium is broken, or their digger is broken, and then it gets out of hand and it becomes way too big of a job for the people who’s job it is.

    They are not in the middle of a city having to worry about people stumbling on it.


  • Ugh I hate excel. It can’t do the most basic things like search and replace things reliably in all cases. I have moved literally all data analysis besides the absolute basic “count” and “sum” operations to python in spyder. 200x faster, repeatable, won’t freeze up with large datssetd, and has never once failed a basic operation like a search and replace. Not to mention the localization issues and the fact that it will fuck things up completely if you install a new printer because Microsoft decided the printer has priority of your document and spreadsheet layouts over choosing a default.

    I had some evaluation board software that whenever the value dipped below -1, would place the comma completely randomly in the floating point number.

    Excel almost had a heart attack when I asked it to search and replace ”-1” with “-1,” and it found all of the cases just fine, but decides to ignore the replace and not place a comma at all. If I tried to convert them to a number, it freaked out and placed the decimal place also randomly, different than the input. And of course trying to do in-place operations on a column for export is just painful.

    Hell, in notepad++ I could just regex the digit range that was preceded by a ”-1” and get everything replaced using a few brackets.

    Not to mention how terrible the graphs work in comparison and how bad they look with the default options 😅. But hey, you can automatically put in a drop shadow or frame it in a useless way.

    There are some people who can work very efficiently and do some crazy things in excel (like the excel doom) but unless you have literally been using it daily for many years and actively looking for ways to speed up, then it is just as easy or easier to do things in an actual data processing program like matlab, octave, python, or R (And I am not a coder) and you can literally copy paste a file name for the next full dataset.

    They also doubled down on it with the official proton accounts and left privavy-focused social media in favor of corporate censored social media, specifically.

    Trump is good is the official position of the company now since they doubled down.

    It really really calls into question if they are lying about their company’s values and it is just marketing. People seem to give them extra leeway because they are swiss and the whole “neutrality” BS, but nestle is one of the worst companies in the entire world and they are swiss 😅




  • I would like to see the stats on that. A lot of times people who are in the industry or know someone in it see their wages and others’ wages going up and say “wages went up with inflation” where the starting wage or the wage normalized to seniority level actually hasn’t changed much at all. For example, in engineering like electriical (outside of silicon valley in the US which has its own economical wage ecosystem) has had entry level positions that have gone up around 20% since the 2008 while inflation has gone up almost 50% since 2008 and productivity has skyrocketed with CAD advancements.


  • Yes, but the difference is that wages have not significantly gone up since then apart from minimum wage in a few states. That is the difference. People are literally poorer because of the massively increased wealth inequality coming from employers shoving down wages while making yearly record profits…

    If peoples’ purchasing power is more or less the same, factoring in inflation to game prices would result in a ton of people simply not being able to buy “luxury goods” like video games.


  • Dropping instead of blocking might technically be better because it wastes a bit more bot time and they see it as “it doesn’t exist” rather than an obsticle to try exploits on. Not sure if that is true though.

    For me:

    • ssh server only with keys

    • absolutely no ssh forwarding, only available to local network via firewall rules

    • docker socket proxy for everything that needs socket access

    • drop non-used ports, limit IPs for local-only services (e.g. paperless)

    • crowdsec on traefik for the rest (sadly it blocks my VPN IPs also)

    • Authelia over everything that doesn’t break the native apps (jellyfin and home assistant are the two that it breaks so far, and HA was very intermittent so I made a separate authelia rule and mobile DNS entry for slightly reduced rules)

    • proper umask rules on all docker directories (or as much as possible)

    • main drive FDE with a separate boot drive with FDE keyfile on a dongle that is removed except for updates and booting to make snatch-and-grabs useless and compromising bootloader impractical

    • full disk encryption with passworded data drives, so even if a smash and grab happens when I leave the dongle in, the sensitive data is still encrypted and the keys aren’t in memory (makes a startup script with a password needed, so no automated startups for me)

    For more info, I followed a lot of stuff on: https://github.com/imthenachoman/How-To-Secure-A-Linux-Server




  • They are a massive megacorp though. It always leaves me to wonder “how much”.

    Tons of capitalist companies do stock options where “technically” the employees own a share of the company, though that percentage is usually extremely small, even collectively such that they have no decision power. I can’t help but think that it is similar with huawei, but with better marketing.
