the GPMI cable comes in two flavors — a Type-B that seems to have a proprietary connector and a Type-C that is compatible with the USB-C standard
I actually copied this from the article to come here to the comments and have a whinge about all the different USB-C standards, and here you are explaining the reason why.
This is what I do. Changing the port to a higher number will prevent almost all bots.
I understand that obscurity is not security but not getting probed is nice.
Also ssh keys are a must.
I do log in as root though.
However, I block all IPs other than mine from connecting to this port in my host's firewall. I only need to log in from home, or my office, and in a crisis I can just log in to OVH and add whitelist my IP.
I can't stop watching this train wreck. I mean fuck it's bleak but I just can't look away.
Anyone care to guess what's in store for the week to come?
I wouldn't be surprised if there's a run on TP.
I read some comments about food shortages as Mexico exports to other markets. I wonder how likely that is?
I just have no. freakin. idea. how the MAGA crowd is going to react to price increases. I mean, it's pretty hard to explain any of this away or blame it on anyone else. Even official propaganda people don't know what to say.
Is a mutiny even in the realm of possibility? If there are food shortages and riots, would the republican house ever pass an impeachment?
Trump's plan was to get elected. He did that by saying he was going to MAGA, and he proposed to do that by removing immigrants, cutting government services, and taxing imports.
He got elected, so now he's doing the things he said he would. He's going to die in a decade or so, and he's going to live in a hotel between now and then. He absolutely could not care less about the plight of the average global citizen, or that of the average American citizen for that matter. It's like a game of sim city when you've covered the whole map. There's not really anything left to do other than unleash some disasters.
Imagine a world leader learning that the world is flat. He directs his navy to sail to the edge of the earth and observe the earth in it's true form. The navy leaves port because that's what they were told to do but there's not really a "plan" because the order is fundamentally flawed.
I can acknowledge that she's probably an awful person and deserves to be destitute while simultaneously feeling sympathy for her and not wanting her to make any rash decisions and make her situation worse.
Things are pretty bleak. Not in a "haha trump is gonna look so dumb" kind of way, but a supply chain interruption, famine, rioting and civil unrest kind of way.
There's lots of people to blame but that doesn't make me feel any better.
Even if you're not "out of work", your work becomes more chaotic and less fulfilling in the name of productivity.
When I started 20 years ago, you could round out a long day with a few hours of mindless data entry or whatever. Not anymore.
A few years ago I could talk to people or maybe even write a nice email communicating a complex topic. Now chatGPT writes the email and I check it.
It's just shit honestly. I'd rather weave baskets and die at 40 years old of a tooth infection than spend an additional 30 years wallowing in self loathing and despair.
I'm an 80s kid and I'm cut. It's never bothered me, my parents thought they were doing the right thing at the time.
I had a son a few years ago. We didn't have him circumcised. We never seriously considered it, and the question never came up. If someone had have asked I would've been resistant.
So now the actual question: I had actually assumed that in 2025 the practice is more or less discontinued? Do doctors still do it? I thought they refused generally just because there's no medical reason for the practice.
As to my preference I just prefer mine the way it is, but I assume that would be the case even if I were not cut.
I feel like most commenters here haven't understood what you're proposing.
I've thought about doing this, I've seen other commenters say they're doing it. It's not a terrible idea. I haven't done it myself because ... it's just not a priority and I'm not sure it ever will be. Anyway ...
If you're willing to set up and self host your own email stack like mail-in-a-box or whatever, then configuring a separate outbound SMTP server is fairly trivial in comparisson.
If you already had your own stack set up to be self hosted you would ordinarily be using the SMTP server there-with to send emails.
Firstly configure your client to use whatever other SMTP server you have access to. I think it's possible to use mailgun or one of those API transactional senders. You could get a cheap plan with mxroute or any other email host and just use the SMTP server.
Suppose your client is Thunderbird and you set up your account like smtp.mxroute.com for outbound and imap.myserver.com for email storage. When you send an email tbird transmits it through mxroute and then stores it on your imap server at myserver.com in your sent folder.
The potentially complex part is configuring spf & DKIM records on your domain.
SPF
I'm not sure if I'll be able to explain this clearly but... suppose a recipient's spam service receives an email purportedly from marauding_giberish@myserver.com but transmitted by smtp.mxroute.com. That spam service will look up the DNS records for myserver.com and inspect the records for the spf record. This record pretty much lists which servers are authorised to transmit email from addresses ending in myserver.com. So with a more typical set up an spf record might be:
"v=spf1 include:myserver.com -all"
This would indicate that only the smtp server at myserver.com can transmit email from your domain.
You would edit that to include the mxroute smtp server like this:
This way, recipients can confirm that the owner of myserver.com domain has formally designated mxroute as an authorised recipient.
DKIM
Your SMTP server will have a public & private key pair which it uses to sign outbound messages. Recipients can use the public key to confirm the signature and thereby confirm that the message has not been altered in flight.
Whatever SMTP server you use will tell you the public key and instruct you to add that to the DNS records of your custom domain.
That's the one that looks like this:
"v=DKIM1; k=rsa; p=MIIBIj [ ... it's a long key ... ] op3Nbzgv35kzrPQme+uhtVcJP"
Once this is in place recipients of your emails can query the DNS for myserver.com and find this public key, and use it to confirm that the signature on the email they received is authentic.
“Manufacturers are scrambling to determine the exact implications for their operations,” National Association of Manufacturers president and CEO Jay Timmons said in a statement on Wednesday. “The stakes for manufacturers could not be higher.”
The tariffs, which Trump continues to erroneously claim will mean other countries paying the U.S., will in fact “threaten investment, jobs, supply chains, and, in turn, America’s ability to outcompete other nations and lead as the preeminent manufacturing superpower,” according to Timmons.
That's pretty black and white honestly. You can do all the analysis you like but the president of the National Association of Manufacturers would know.
The hubris here is breath taking. We've all known since 2016 that Trump is an arrogant idiot but this seems to be an order of magnitude above anything that has come before.
I keep looking for the master plan, "what are they actually trying to achieve", but then something like the signal shitstorm happens and you realise - they really are just hapless idiots.
