We can make synthetic methane with renewable energy though. I don’t have a problem with building such infrastructure becsuse it can be used with renewable energy

Synthetic methane.

@delirious_owl@discuss.online avatar

No reason we can’t produce hydrogen from solar, wind, hydro, and geothermal.

Add carbon dioxide to the hydrogen, and you get methane that you can transport through existing gas pipelines without the issues of hydrogen

Its a battery. It makes more sense than electricity because its extremely energy dense, can be transported long distances far more efficiently than electricity, and can be stored indefinitely in low-tech gas tanks instead of electrical batteries

It is too dangerous, and we don’t need that risk. Renewables work great.

Both XMPP and Matrix support unencrypted communication, which is a huge unacceptable barrier to adoption by many orgs

I once made a cloud filesystem that used tweets encoded with base64 as a back end storage

Have a separate computer for work. Use site-specific- browsers for Facebook and sketch sites. Block them from your main browser.

No reason you’re fucked because you use these shitty platforms for marketing. Just keep them separate.

Probe to failure. Just use an entirely separate device, same as if you worked for a business that you don’t own

As a business owner that accepts monero, I agree with this statement. Reach out to Monerica and offer a 10% discount for payments in crypto.

The community is really nice.

I was looking at the firefox flatpak on flathub. Won't this warning make a non tech-savy user anxious? This might make them think they'll get a virus or something like that. (programming.dev)

Imagine your friend that does not know anything about linux, don’t you think this would make them not install the firefox flatpak and potentially think that linux is unsafe?...

@delirious_owl@discuss.online avatar

Considetng flatpak doesn’t verify the authenticity of what it downloads, all flatpak users should just expect that what they download is a virus

Elon Musk haters have vandalized dozens of Tesla Cybertrucks being held ahead of delivery at a parking lot in Florida.

Literally the first sentence of the article. The owner isn’t going to take this loss. Tesla will.

Causing financial harm to corporations that are harming society is a valid form of protest that had been used as a tactic for over a century.

Drones trespassing in my property

Idk if anyone had a similar problem before, but I live in EU by the countryside, at first there were only a few but now it happens more and more often to see drones passing over my house, I am sure they are civilian drones because law enforcement has no reason to use them since the area is quiet (and honestly I doubt they would...

I think jamming the radio would be much easier and faster

that’s how you use it.

More like, “shit, I totally lost contact with my drone when I flew it over this home, and i never saw it again. Never gonna do that again”

Did you also say that to folks who worked on the underground railroad?

So can we now track the location of police? That sounds like valuable data that should be public

delirious_owl,

They say the same thing about some of the other data that they encrypt, but then they store the encryption private keys on their servers.

Encryption doesn’t mean they can’t see the data. It means only the people with the private keys (and those who can crack the private keys or a device with the private keys) can see the data.

One must know if the data is encrypted both at rest and in transit. What type of encryption is used. Where the private key is stored. And what are the protections in-place where the key is stored

That’s what the NSA said about DES. Fun fact: they were lying.

Is the source code public so we can verify the implementation matches the spec?

Chat control vote postponed: Huge success in defense of digital privacy of correspondence! (www.patrick-breyer.de)

Today EU governments will not adopt their position on the EU regulation on “combating child sexual abuse”, the so-called chat control regulation, as planned, which would have heralded the end of private messages and secure encryption. The Belgian Council presidency postponed the vote at short notice.

Success means passing legislation affirming digital rights in a way that makes such surveillance legislation illegal.

This wasn’t a win, it was a small setback.

Campaigns Can Now See What You Watch on TV. (www.notus.org)

Televisions that can stream platforms like Hulu or Max usually come loaded with technology that collects information on what viewers are watching, and buyers consent to have their viewing tracked when they open their new TV and click through terms of service agreements. Sometimes, data firms can connect those viewing habits to a...

Probably because the uid on their key must match their email address

what's your current linux distro?

wanting to hop into the world of linux on a dual boot method (one of my favorite games unfortunately cannot be run on linux at all, and it’s a gacha.

Not possible. Not secure.

delirious_owl,

Depends if its signed and how you get the key

Apt and yum are almost always more secure

Can you please write a guide for how to run this on some sort of highly scalable load balancer that serves as a fronting for a back end web server, so it can be an easy replacement for orgs who use cloudflare?

Can you please submit a PR to integrate this in Lemmy?

Can you implement it in WebAssembly so it runs in the user’s browser directly, contributing to a site-wide account, where you just track individual user work on your end so that work is allocated to your visitors instantly?

What didn’t you understand?

We already have mCaptcha and a few others… The reason none of these POCs ever actually get adopted is because the barrier of entry is too high.
