Du bekommst auch kein regulaeres Arbeitslosengeld ohne Meldeadresse.

Vor ~14 Jahren war absehbar dass sich mein damaliger Arbeitgeber verkleinern musste, und ich wollte aus der Gegend wo ich gewohnt habe eh weg - also hatte ich die Wohnung aufgeloest, eingelagert, und hab zum Zeitpunkt der Arbeitslosigkeit bei ner Freundin geschlafen. Antrag auf Arbeitslosengeld konnte mangels Meldeadresse nicht bearbeitet werden - ich haette eigentlich erwartet dass die froh sind dass da jemand kommt der sofort einen Job ohne geographische Grenzen annehmen kann.

Ich hab dann weniger als einen Monat spaeter bei meinem Finnlandurlaub ein Angebot bekommen mit Start "jetzt sofort" bekommen, und bin dann einfach hiergeblieben.

Vodafone will wohl bis April 2025 2G abschalten.

Vodafone und Telekom werden eine gute Uebersicht haben was bei deren M2M-Tarifen genutzt wird - und zumindest Grosskunden auch in Richtung 4G-Migration treten, falls das nicht von alleine klappt.

Alles was nicht ueber nen M2M-Tarif laeuft wird bei der Ueberlegung ob man 2G noch weiterlaufen laesst uninteressant sein.

Inkludiert der Vodafone Deal auch 2,3,4G

3G ist in Deutschland weitgehend abgeschaltet. 2G duerfte die naechsten 2-3 Jahre auch nicht mehr ueberleben.

Relevant fuer 1&1 ist hier wirklich nur 4G, und moeglichst viel 5G - 4G wurde stellenweise auch zu Gunsten von 5G schon reduziert.

autoMemoryReclaim – Makes the WSL VM shrink in memory as you use it by reclaiming cached memory

This could finally make WSL2 somewhat usable - though at least for my usecases living in the Windows namespace as is the case with WSL1 is still more beneficial, even if that finally works.

Fang mit dem relativ neuen Fall hier an, und von da solltest du dann genug Info haben um selber zu suchen was die letzten Jahre passiert ist - das ist exakt das wovor damals gewarnt wurde, aber wer den hysterischen Irren die alles was irgendwie mit "Teenager entdecken Sexualitaet" mit dem Strafrecht erschlagen wollen mit durchdachten Argumenten kommt ist dann ja direkt auch ein Paedophiler.

This was just a matter of time - and there isn't really that much the affected can do (and in some cases, should do). Shutting down that service is the correct thing - but that'll only buy a short amount of time: Training custom models is trivial nowadays, and both the skill and hardware to do so is in reach of the age group in question.

So in the long term we'll see that shift to images generated at home, by kids often too young to be prosecuted - and you won't be able to stop that unless you start outlawing most of AI image generation tools.

At least in Germany the dealing with child/youth pornography got badly botched by incompetent populists in the government - which would send any of those parents to jail for at least a year, if they take possession of one of those generated pictures. Having it sent to their phone and going to police for a complaint would be sufficient to get prosecution against them started.

There's one blessing coming out of that mess, though: For girls who did take pictures, and had them leaked, saying "they're AI generated" is becoming a plausible way out.

I don't expect it will make much of a difference. It will make it easier for some of the ones who managed to stick with it until that point to stay in academia - the article also mentions the high rate of dropouts early on. What you want to get to the talent is to reduce those dropouts.

One part of that should be free education - and in case of university education, free housing and a small unconditional stipend to make sure money is not an issue.

I like how you have a home smartcard. I can’t believe many do.

Pretty much anyone should do. There's no excuse to at least keep your personal PGP keys in some USB dongle. I personally wouldn't recommend yubikey for various reasons, but there are a lot more options nowadays. Most of those vendors also now have HSM options which are reasonably priced and scale well enough for small hosting purposes.

I started a long time ago with empty smartcards and a custom card applet - back then it was quite complicated to find empty smartcards as a private customer. By now I've also switched to readily available modules.

Why do you think cloud operators are lying?

One of the key concepts of the cloud is that your VMs are not tied to physical hardware. Which in turn means the key storage also isn't - which means extraction of keys is possible. Now they'll tell you some nonsense how they utilize cryptography to make it secure - but you can't beat "key extraction is not possible at all".

For the other bits I've mentioned a few times side channel attacks. Then there's AMDs encrypted memory (SEV) claiming to fully isolate VMs from each other, with multiple published attacks. And we have AMDs PSP and intels ME, both with multiple published attacks. I think there also was a published attack against the key storage I described above, but I don't remember the name.

I agree that our stuff is unlikely to be victim of an targeted attack in the cloud - but could be impacted by a targeted attack on something sharing bare metal with you. Or somebody just managed to perfect one of the currently possible attacks to run them larger scale for data collection - in all cases you're unlikely to be properly informed about the data loss.

Not enough onions. Your average mettigel has better mett/onion ratio.

Yes, but I'm asking you to use pbzip. bzip at best utilizes one core, both for packing and unpacking. pbzip uses as many cores as IO bandwith allows - with standard SATA SSDs that's typically around 30.

pbzip can only utilize multiple cores if the archive was created with it as well.

If you want to do more than just "pack this directory up just as it is" you'll pretty quickly get to the limits of zip. tar is way more flexible about selecting partial contents and transformation on packing or extraction.

Don't try to take my raw ground pork away from me.
