In the sense of okhams razor it’s also possible that you’re just more sensibilized to the term.

It would be a fun experiment to next time first check YouTube before looking it up elsewhere, just to eliminate the chance that the information vector is before the search.

From there then come various other possibilities (from behaviour based prediction to Lemmy profe linking).

Just to widen the search area!

I can’t argue about the historic relevance; The article you linked is from 2020, the issues from early 2019. The original matrix developing company seems to have deep ties as described, yes.

But:

If you follow the very first link I. The article you can read the history of the matrix protocol itself. It shows where and when the matrix protocol was separated from this company and what the status quo seems to be:

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Matrix_(protocol)#History

From this it seems clear to me that the information from this article are by now obviously outdated with KDE and Mozilla two big mentioned community projects that are involved.

Wikipedia as primary source is not well suited, but the fact that the article linked to it themselves seem to show that they relied on the back then status quo.

In short: in 2017 they would be absolutely right, in 2020 there were still huge issues - but by now those are mostly addressed or are unknown.

In the very first post on this thread I pointed out that I’m not talking about this specific case at all.

To your last point I fully agree!

For the first point: that’s how I understood you - what I failed to convey: adultsshould fall victim more in cases like this because parents can be a protective shield of a kind that grown-ups lag.

Children on their own stand easy less of a chance but are very rarely on their own.

And to be honest I think it doesn’t change result of requirements for action both in general but respectfully for language based bots, both from a legal as well as an educational point of view.

I see your point but there is one major difference between adults and children: adults are by default fully responsible for themselves z children are not.

As for your question: I won’t blame the parents here in the slightest because they will likely put more than enough blame on themselves. Instead I’ll try to keep it general:

Independent of technology, what a parent can do is learn behavior and communication patterns that can be signs of mental illness.

That’s independent of the technology.

This is a big task because the border between normal puberty and behavior that warrants action is slim to non-existent.

Overall I wish for way better education for parents both in terms of age appropriate patterns as well as what kind of help is available to them depending on their country and culture.

Oh the trackers are against that because they fight all the way against people working against the community and I guess that they just see more leeches coming in this way.

Personally I don’t care about the individual background as long as it’s at least a break even in the community.

Good luck!

Just as a heads-up: expect some pushback just for asking.

In general buying accounts is frowned upon on all private trackers I’m aware of, including the rule to ban bought accounts on sight.

Several private trackers give out VIP status for people buying seed boxes through them though I guess there are some where you’d get an account in the first place through this.

It all depends on your goals. Personally I wouldn’t trust account sellers. I don’t see a way for them to get accounts without it being quite easily identifyable for the respective pages.

Personally I went the “hard” route but never tried to push into the cabal tier private trackers.

Just remember to not screw your account within the first hours by not taking care of your ratio and the trackers rules.

Understandable, he was right very often and “only” his tone was…unfiltered. but I ignore the “was right” part when using that phrasing :)

I’d like to imagine that this would be close to the phrasing Linus himself would choose, although I could be off of course!

Take a sentence with 200 characters then.

And your opinion is exactly that and doesnt match security research:

For the following you’re not the target group but others reading this who might want to make their lifes easier. Just from your way of writing I at least don’t expect that minor sources like okta or the NCSC will change your mind.

( article links with high level descriptions and links to their primary sources)

I really don’t enjoy Linus’ content without context I have to admit.

He was an absolute dipshit back then and he’s one of the few people I’ve read about who not only acknowledged that but also put effort into changing it - and succeeded.

Yeah the newer mails are not as funny to third parties anymore but I’m really happy for him and especially the kernel devs around him.

There’s a xkcd for that of course! Linking directly to the explain as it has more info but the important thing is: password guidelines tricked humans into thinking in a machine way about safe passwords but long pass phrases are more secure from an entropy point of view and way easier to remember!

DHL. Fucking DHL. Not sure if it fits your question but I got triggered badly here.

They removed all forms of contact except WhatsApp and their shitty z broken chat bot. If there is ever a use case for LLM than this is it. But they use s system that can either sell you stamps or breaks.

Oh but you can call them. Do you can talk to there chat bot. Once you’ve broken it enough for it to grant an audience with a human being the connection drops.

I very rarely get worked up by broken systems but someone else chose to use this shit shoe and I’m now imprisoned in their web of bullshit.

Oh yeah I see…

As some old philosopher once said: “shit’s fucked, yo”.

Seems to be appropriate here.

Because a security engineer focused on cloud would rightfully say “pod security is not my issue, I’m focused on protecting the rest of our world from each pod itself.”. With AWS as example: If they then analyze the IAM role structures and to deep into where the pod runs (e.g. shared ec2 vs eks) etc. then it would just be a matter of different focus.

Cloud security is focused on the infrastructure - looks like you’re looking for a security engineer focused on the dev side.

If they bring neither to the table then I’m with you - but I don’t see how “the cloud” is at fault here… especially for security the world as full of “following the script” people long before cloud was a thing.

All the claims concerning telemetry in that thread are made by the person “asking” the question.

I don’t understand the intent of this post. It looks like you’re trying to start a rumor to be honest.

Telemetry in Thunderbird exists and is well documented. If someone is not happy with their engine or approach they need to switch clients and not basically tell them “I want you to rebuild everything around my nerds”.

You got a lot of relevant answers so I want to point out something else:

You’re hosting your own services. By yourself. Fuck everyone with a broom who tries to gatekeep that. And I don’t mean wooden side first.

Seriously, your question is on point here from my perspective and as long as it has a connection to running services by your own I personally would love more diversity in hosting solutions.

Personally, I’d love to see people share more about their provider agnostic opentofu deployment or someone who went all in on AWS lambdas for weird stuff.

It sorts by what seems to me historically by relevance, i.e. which day is asked more often because it seems a more frequent timeframe for everyday use in a medieval society compared to the month (with the seasons as something in between those two).

And I agree that since the digital age yyyy-mm–dd has significant advantages!

Raising it lowering the container works only if it is not protected from environmental pressure - but you’re right: creating two different pressure environments that are somehow connected is ready in a thought experiment but then you tell that to the engineer and they get their third heart attack of the week…

I’m writing only based on your text, not the video, please excuse any doubling of content.

It is easier explained if you build an imaginary machine instead of lifting / lowering that does the same thing. The single most important thing to understand is that the lower the pressure the less heat you need to add to boil something. There are funny graphs for each liquid (for example https://courses.lumenlearning.com/umes-cheminter/chapter/vapor-pressure-curves/ ).

The intro explanation

The water in your containers will behave based on their individual combination of pressure and temperature. I’d at any point the water vapor falls below its boiling point at the current pressure it starts to form a liquid. At this point you’ve made a fancy rain machine.

Note that water itself adds pressure to a system because of its volume even as a gas

A machine

Imagine you have a container at 100 mmHg which according to a random online calculator leads to a boiling temperature of 50 degrees C.

Now you heat this up and lead the water vapor into another chamber which has only s pressure of 10 mmHg. Water has a boiling temperature of only a bit over 10C there! So you keep it at 20C to be sure the water never gets liquid again.

But wait: now you’re adding water vapor into a low pressure container - you’re literally pressing a gas into it - so you increase the pressure in there.

The first container, the source of the gas, becomes irrelevant: As soon as the additional water increases the pressure to around 20mmHg it starts condensation again as now it’s boiling point moved above the 20 degrees.

The flaws

As you’ve asked for the downsides: it’s a very convoluted way of manipulating water to achieve the same result as simply heating it. You would need way more energy to lift the containers far enough or otherwise decrease the pressure than the energy needed to boil it.

Other than energy and logistics I don’t see a downside. Liquids don’t behave differently in terms of boiling no matter the source: pressure, temperature or a combination.

The thing limiting it most is the last sentence, the rest I’ve seen as well :D
