My point was that it’s one of a very short list of free top-level domains, and was likely chosen because it was free and didn’t have the same reputation that, say, .tk had.

I doubt that was literally their intent, it’s just a free TLD

Probably “shiny gold”- it was super impressive for the time period but was never finished officially and didn’t age super well.

Lowe’s uses a customized Linux distro for their department terminal computers. Most of what you do is in browser or terminal applications, if genesis is still in use.

Because Microsoft isn’t responsible for every program that runs on their OS.

CrowdStrike is an EDR that enterprises choose to install. The bug was caused by a dodgy content bundle update, which is something that’s meant to be 100% safe but evidently they found and triggered a bug.

Thanks for posting this for awareness! I love this theme now

But, eventually exploitable is still a pretty major concern for anybody who has systems running longer than a few days at a time.

Satellite sos was only available on 14 or newer on release, which is even less support for the prior gen than apples intelligence features (which at least supports the pro lineup from the prior gen, as well as every apple silicon Mac released)

I think where valve went wrong was not requiring specific minimum specs. It led to a very inconsistent and hard to support platform.

Steam deck leading to a standard “steam device” hardware platform with consistent OS and hardware is my dream, but I know their goal thus far has been to refine steamos and release it for OEMs to use on their devices.

Massgrave is a tool that can create legit (oem) keys for windows and office out of thin air*

  • it’s not literally creating them from nothing, it’s using a system Ms themselves run to get working keys. Evidently they don’t have a huge problem with it.

It’s not unheard of in folks who are in software dev because they love the repetition and routine. Farming is pretty similar to programming a computer, just with tons more manual labor.

Umami has been pretty good to me. Plausible was a close choice but I ran into technical difficulties getting it going.

I didn’t get around to trying it, but goatcounter looked promising as well.

This is the third attempt they’ve made to work with that guy that actually got routed to me because their salespeople don’t do their due diligence. Shocking.

Edit; a little extra context: I have an email alias on a domain similar to one he might use, and regularly receive email addressed to him. Reddit marketing folks reached out in a less cookie cutter manner a couple times last year, this is more of a mailing list outreach attempt.

The host I was using for radiation.party became extremely unreliable, extremely quickly, leading to an extended downtime while I worked on finding a good alternative.

I've shoved my lemmy instance onto one of my other dedicated servers for the time being, with the goal of eventually migrating it to its own beefier server.

There will be, unfortunately, a flood of posts for missed content on current sources. This has already happened as of me posting this post, so I sowwy.

If you'd like to help fund shoving this community onto a beef boy server, let me know here - I might set up a tipjar or something to allow folks to contribute at will.

Hi all! I frequently see irrelevant garbage posts being published on these so-called tech news sources, frustrating you and me alike.

This morning, I've updated the bot to support loading a list of blocked phrases from its config. As of writing this, the block list currently contains:

"blockedPhrases": [
	"couches",
	"vegan",
	"diet",
	"progressives",
	"save $",
	"astrology",
	"disney plus",
	"hulu",
	"apple deals",
	"prime day",
	"linoleic acid",
	"freedom caucus",
	"mental health",
	"laptop deals",
	"smart gadget",
	"and your money",
	"folding phones",
	"chatgpt"
]

If there are common phrases that are usually used in blog spam, but not in real tech news, feel free to let me know and I can update the config when I have a few minutes to SSH in and tweak it.

The current list is pretty small, I’d love to expand it- so let me know what tech-oriented news sources you’d like to see!
