That positions of power are held primarily by those who are motivated primarily by power ought to be the most straight forward assertion possible

Generalities like that can be useful when applied appropriately, but counter-productive when applied blindly.

My problem with all this nonsense is that it doesn’t actually solve the problem, while causing many more. You’d need to fundamentally rethink the basic design of the technology if you were to actually prevent children from accessing sexual material with it.

Absolutely - this always happens with these “save the children” laws.

That’s something they don’t want to do, however, presumably because they’re addicted to the power it offers them to spy on everyone, and exploit the population for profit.

Jesus Christ… You ever hear the phrase “never ascribe to malice that which can be adequately explained by ignorance?” Politicians do this sort of “make the people feel like we’re doing something” shit all the time. They rarely consider the ramifications beside appeasing parents.

Yes. Parent controls have been available for this stuff for ages. It’s not a problem for the state to solve.

For apt to install a local file I think you need either a fully qualified path or to use “./” at the start for a relative path.

So “./$1/opensnitch_${1}_amd64.deb”

apt install 1.6.5/opensnitch_1.6.5_amd64.deb 1.6.5/python3-opensnitch-ui_1.6.5_all.deb

Edit: Here’s a better example of what I think you would want:

#!/bin/bash
# Often good to assign a numbered parameter to a variable
VER="${1}"
apt install "./${VER}/opensnitch_${VER}_amd64.deb" "./${VER}/python3-opensnitch-ui_${VER}_all.deb"

Also - when debugging bash scripts it’s often helpful to just put “echo” before the line you’re questioning to see what exactly is being run. e.g.:

#!/bin/bash
VER="${1}"
echo apt install "./${VER}/opensnitch_${VER}_amd64.deb" "./${VER}/python3-opensnitch-ui_${VER}_all.deb"

That will show the the command that would have run rather than running it, then you can inspect it for errors and even copy/paste it to run it by hand.

I guess you just want to say whatever you like apropos of nothing. Go away.

You’re just as confused as he is it seems.

All systems have anomalies. A healthy system addresses the anomaly per the rules of the system. An unhealthy system breaks to accommodate the anomaly.

True - I’ll grant that. But the size of the anomalies in this case are very different as well. Yes Trump should absolutely be held accountable and it’s a crime that he hasn’t been. That said his crime wasn’t on the same scale (yet - he still has a second term) as Yoon. This guy declared martial law because he didn’t like the laws the legislature was passing. That’s fucked up on a level Trump hasn’t achieved yet.

so let me get this straight. you think it’s bad to hold someone who attempts a coup accountable

What? Whose ass did you pull that out of??? What a ridiculously stupid thing to assume. 🤦‍♂️

Compared to Korea it’s doing fine. Jesus you people act like trump is literal Hitler. He didn’t declare martial law and send the f’ing army to block Congress.

But it’s not a sign of a healthy system. Yes it’s dealing with the fiasco, but there is still a fiasco.

This is NOT a sign of a healthy system …

It’s one of these. I don’t know the chip but I haven’t had any issues with false positives. If anything they’re slightly under sensitive, but not enough to be a deal breaker for my purposes.

I used to do this frequently “back in the day”…

dd will create a complete bit-for-bit copy of the drive and put its contents into a file. All the way down to the boot sector, partitions, etc. Filesystem doesn’t even matter a little.

I used to do something like “dd /dev/sda bs=1M | nc remote.server 1234” and then on the remote server “nc -l 1234 -p > file.img </dev/null”. I was swapping back and forth between Linux and Windows on a work laptop that I was using for non-work related things on the weekend, at conferences, etc.

Wasn’t perhaps my most intelligent moment, but it worked!

It can be - but doesn’t have to be. It would depend on a lot of things including how reckless or negligent he was for example. And whether the local law considers “negligence” to be a factor in manslaughter or whether it’s considered to be “reckless endangerment” or something like that.

A paramedic overheard Ms Hall saying Scarlett and her father were “play-fighting and chucking knives at each other”, Mr McKone said.

In this case however… That’s pretty damn negligent.

edit:

When asked if he was responsible for causing his daughter’s death, Mr Vickers replied “I must be”, the court heard.

As stupid as he was - this is pretty heart breaking…

Much simpler than that - The motion sensors are zigbee and integrated with HomeAssistant. I have a HA automation that sends a REST call to a webservice I wrote on the PI that then just needs to write 1 or 0 to /sys/class/backlight/rpi_backlight/bl_power.

It requires a near obsessive understanding of the architecture being emulated, but generally the process is “relatively straightforward” (though not necessarily “easy”). A CPU is a relatively simple device compared to the software built on it. Your basic steps are:

1. Read an instruction
2. Perform the instruction
3. Jump to the next instruction

Throw that in a loop and voilà! You have an emulator. Granted I’ve handwaved over a lot of complexity (I don’t mean to trivialize the effort)…

To translate a binary is very different. Compilers optimize output to behave in a specific way for the target CPU that simply may not work on the new CPU. What do you do, for example, if the code was compiled for a platform that had 12 registers but the new one only has 6? You’d need to re-write the logic to work with fewer registers. That’s difficult to do in a way that is generic for any program. An emulator can just present the program with the 12 registers it expects (emulated in memory at the expense of performance).

My dad used to put them on the cars he built.

That’s pretty rad.

I’ve got a RPI running a full-screen ‘kiosk’ view from homeassitant that turns an external display on/off based on a motion sensor.

So basically it’s showing current temperatures, thermostat control, etc. but I have the display turn off after X minutes of no movement and turn on when there has been movement so it’s only on when you’re in the room.

As are many I believe? Like how most US companies incorporate in Delaware I think it’s for tax reasons.

I have an alias set up and SDKs enabled. The experience is indistinguishable from a regular install.

That’s not indistinguishable - that’s you working around the problem of running flatpak run some.domain.IForget(which - BONUS is case sensitive which is awesome) to run neovim.

Snaps install a binary you can run. Flatpaks make you remember the 3 part domain to run things. So you setup aliases after installing things to run them, and if you uninstall them you need to remove your aliases. It’s a complete own-goal by the flatpak developers that this mess exists and is completely unnecessary. Simply providing an option to create and manage a script in .local/bin or something would be all it takes to make flatpaks usable from the CLI in a way that isn’t obnoxious.
