  • after downloadmoreram.com was such a success, i guess something like wifi-hotspot as a service should exist somewhere too

    hm, without adding “new” hardware you say?

    • add an old wifi stick
    • add an old raspberry pi 1
    • stick the stick into the berry
    • add hostapd package to berry
    • add old ethernet calble and connect berry with the switch in the picture
    • configure hostapd to mimic a wifi hotspot (thus its not “added”, just mimic’ed)
    • configure routing, nat, dns and dhcp server (wlan side) on berry
    • configure dhcp client on berry for lan side
    • use an old cable tie to tie things together so it becomes “one piece”
    • connect the switch with another old ethernet cable to your neighbours internet router

    tadaaa !!! turned into wifi hotspot without added hardware beeing “new”

    to me all sudo features make absolutely sense (except for too loose wildcard handling), also from a security point of view. if you dislike how its ‘default’ settings for your distro are like, change them to your needs or seek a distro that fits your needs. other way is dont use sudo, login as root directly, nothing hinders you (maybe your distros default setup that does not assume root login, then you’ld have to give root a password maybe) or write your own sudo alike security system if you like.

    if you dislike security at all, do everything directly as root (also web browsing), put nopasswd foe your user into your sudoers file or go to puppy linux (afair there is only the root user and thus no boundary between user and root) but as soon as you encounter any Problems related to user-was-also-root, you ‘might’ have wanted such features … afterwards then ;-)

    simple reasons to let the user input his password before running things with higher privileges:

    • trigger the user to start the brian activity called ‘thinking’ before beeing allowed to go on.
    • user uses a webbrowser that could be RCE’d by some webpage to execute a shell then running anything as root on your machine.

  • they get even more revenue from other peoples contributions.

    thats the whole point not more, not less.

    so there is no point for “you” to pay them anything.

    did you as a “premium customer” thought to be “the customer”? really? remember how little you personally pay for the service. it is mainly the ad companies who are youtubes “customers”. when you pay them for something, you only increase yt’s revenue, not more, not less, but you are not “the customer”, you are the product ;-)





  • Your experiences are anecdotal.

    by pulishing them they become measurable, which also removes the “anecdotal” flag with numbers, also maybe ask archaeologists how much of an evidence a complain written in papyrus actually is a “while” after it was written.

    also the studies that found out “why” public services don’t serve in the first place have become quite old* meanwhile, which is the very opposite of anecdotal, but nothing was done so far to change the known state of not serving services for decades, so why should they have changed without changing actions affecting them?

    *) i read parts of them >20 years ago and the studies observations and conclusions i read fitted 100% of what i personally experienced/witnessed from within a family “working” in such services.


  • i meant improving society and strengthen its immune system against threats that would otherwise cause collapses. imperiums cause and collapse/vanish all the time, just try to count the already vanished ones in “known” history, i guess while you are still busy counting the known ones there will be even more “newly found” by archaelogists. while lots of them just vanished without trace, some vanished but just weren’t found yet.





  • Which Western country has send troops to the Ukrainian front?

    so just choosing how to exactly limit the question changes if “help in war” was provided? what if western countries just helped with some nukes instead of only some normal rockets or whatever was sent there to help? what if western countries troops quick-changed their passports to be ukrainians instead?(guess that secret agencies already have enough passport printing capabilities,or just get them printed on demand), would that be sufficient to say no “western” troops were sent even if it were millions of soldiers “from” the west?

    but living in a propagandainfested country i’ld already expect such bad manipulations to happen instantaneous.

    what if western countries didn’t send “troops to the front” but to the rest of the country so that invading military would have to fight western troops while ukrainian troops could concentrate on the front. would that also not be help in war by your (seemingly) position?

    or the other way around: what if one would only call the directly by russian soldiers occupied area (like 1m² where they each actually stand) would that still be an invasion or just a US-style visit with US style damaging of democracy and economics? manipulating questions is a bad propaganda habit and does not prevent wars, it creates them.
