  • I'd argue they're in the top 2 or 3.

    What they've done is far more insidious than anyone else - much of the world willingly gives everything about their lives to Google, who uses that information (and provides it to whoever they choose) in all sorts of ways.

    We know they've given data to the police which has affected innocent people.

    There's also a question about it's origin possibly being from the NSA, etc.

    This poses as much a threat as anything, and yet most people are completely unaware (and even when they are aware they don't seem to mind because "convenience"), whereas most people have some awareness of the modern-day version of Dutch East Indies company, they just don't think they can do anything about it (unlike Google and the rest of FAANG)

  • Bingo.

    This is the problem with any kind of forced financial support - it leads to centralized control, and not likely by those who mean well.

  • LDAP to UNIX user proxy

    Jump

  • That's not much of an answer, I'm not reading docs because you can't be bothered. I don't use NixOS, so if you want to use that as an example, you'll need to put in the effort to explain how it's different.

    If you don't want to use LDAP, don't. Then you get to manage each user account on each device.

    To be frank, it seems like you have an adversarial attitude about this, and you think NixOS is the answer. Every one of your responses has been "but" whatever. You don't seem like you want to understand how to use things, just complain it doesn't work the way you think it should.

  • LDAP to UNIX user proxy

    Jump

  • You need backup local admin accounts, not Backups for each user.

    Which is how enterprise does things. There are local accounts with root access, but the id's and passwords are tightly controlled.

  • Meaning what?

  • What's wrong with LDAP for users? (I'm trying to think of a negative, and can't).

  • Why is Facebook filled with so much random junk now?

    Jump

  • I have never been on Facebook, never even been on the website.

    The day it started I told my college-age family that it was a privacy nightmare. They called me paranoid.

  • Telegram changes its tone on moderating private chats after CEO’s arrest

  • Yep, nothing new here.

  • Like Brazil, the European Union also has an X problem.

  • You finally noticed?

    Its been a problem for years.

  • "Rarely happens"

    And yet it still happens often enough if you touch enough boxes or make enough changes across enough boxes.

    The thing is, you never know when or where an unbootable box is going to occur. This is why I've carried a loaded thumbdrive for ~20 years (Lacie IAmAKey was my latest, wish they still made them - mine finally died. Knockoffs are available, unfortunately the casing is aluminum, not stainless, so they're easy to bend). And why I keep hot spares around.

  • What's broken is largely insurance setting prices.

    I don't see this fixing it.

  • Streisand strikes again.

  • Snapchat is going to put ads next to messages from your friends

    Jump

  • The ads are the last straw? Hahaha

    Unencrypted shit show of a "service".

    Have they fixed the problem where if someone has the URL, they can see your NSFW pics?

  • Should one say "too many refried beans", or "too much refried beans"?

    Jump

  • Since the word "beans" is plural, and countable, it's "many".

    "Many" is for things that are countable, "much" is for things that aren't. e.g. Water - you'd say "too much water" but you wouldn't say "too much cups of water" but "too many cups of water".

    Though "refried beans" is a thing on its own, I could go either way. Like if you were spooning beans onto my plate, I may say "too much!".

    How's that for a confident, clear answer? 😆

  • Oh wow, thanks for the detailed writeup. It's a little above my pay grade (condensers used as localized generators? Wow, what an idea. They must be huge).

    Guess it's time to find an Intro to Powergrids from The Teaching Company

  • Shutup10 for sure.

    Linux, nah. It still can't do what we need it to do, so it's not the proper tool for the job.

  • I just don't get some users

    Jump

  • I just don't get some people, making a post to complain about downvotes.

    Maybe post things people want to read?

    And yes, know that this has reached me, the community will be blocked, as will this user.

  • What do you guys do about usernames / passwords for your local services?

  • IP4 is shit

    Lol, right, right. It's only run the internet for what, 40 years now?

    Guess you missed the recent gaping hole in IP6 on Windows?

    IP6 is only really useful in large (i.e. enterprise) environments . It offers no practical benefit to small networks at the moment.

    And even enterprise will only switch as they build out new infrastructure. The cost to switch is very high, and the risk is far more concerning than any potential benefit.
