Isn't a "click" just physically making two connectors touch so that a circuit is made to send the signal of an action? There doesn't have to be any noise associated does there?

For example, if we used 2 springs, one to hold up the button and another to make the contact with the circuit, the click would be silent. Or maybe something already exists that I can swap out into my mouse?

Meanwhile, NixOS won't budge, as is standard.

Ah, the "only closed source should make money but I will demand opensource compete with it" take. Love it.

[-] onlinepersona@programming.dev 3 points 3 days ago

We better all flood this. It's a good chance of getting funding for opensource, which is very much needed. An EU wide mandate to get rid of US tech in anything governmental would be killer.

According to Pargin, turning off the feature can result in local files being deleted, leaving behind only a desktop icon labeled "Where are my files?"

OneDrive = ransomware confirmed!

That could've used an example of debugging recursion to show how useful the repl is. I knew about the repl and have used it to find duplicate packages for example, but what it doesn't help with is finding out how stuff was added to environment.systemPackages and, most importantly, why.

The most glaring omission in nix is the lack of a debugger with conditional breakpoints. Nix is interpreted, is it not? Shouldn't it be possible to have breakpoints?

Why is this thing so popular? Do people just love faschtech?

[-] onlinepersona@programming.dev 1 points 3 days ago

They tried, and that's admirable. Some things aren't meant to work out though.

My memory of it is how unnecessarily arcane it is. I had (and still have) a better understanding of assembly than COBOL. COBOL has hundreds of keywords. And while an instruction set can have thousands of instructions, COBOL still felt more difficult.

Also, nearly any executable can be decompiled to assembly. If you understand assembly, it has a plethora of uses. COBOL can make big bank, but it currently has very limited use.

I'd much rather write in assembly than COBOL

Haven't heard or read about it since it was kicked out of the kernel! Does it still exist?

[-] onlinepersona@programming.dev 2 points 4 days ago

Ho boy. Don't ruin the good ol' memory of the dude. Some things should be left untouched, just like the movies you watched as a child.

About time we started referring to github as Microsoft Github. It may help people realise which basket they are putting their eggs into.

I stumbled upon this video and it's mostly about using AI to fight against scammers and hackers that use AI themselves.

Hidden inside Romania is a real cyber-crime-fighting team almost no one knows about: the Draco team. These are elite malware analysts, forensics experts, and penetration testers who volunteer to hunt down cybercriminals. In this video, we go behind the scenes with Bitdefender to uncover how the Draco team helped dismantle massive ransomware groups like GandCrab and REvil, saving victims over $1 billion. We also talk about deepfakes, voice-cloning scams, and multi-platform attack chains in the next era of cybercrime.

I read an old thread documenting the opinions of Lemmy maintainers an the .ml instance. The issue of funding a project with people openly expressing opinions many find distasteful and it being the biggest reddit alternative on the fediverse came up, so here's a topic to discuss it.

What should we do? What are the options?


Answer: No fork necessary, there are Piefed and Mbin.

Bloody Roar is a Fighting Arena game made by 8ing/Raizing in 1997. It features a 3D space where movement works more like 2.5D. The Battles are fast, bloody and furious.

Eight Mysterious warriors appear, all with the ability to transform into half beasts. Blessed with super-human strength and agility, what will they choose to do with their new found abilities?

You can play as Yugo the Wolf, Alice the Rabbit, Hans the Fox, Mitsuko the Wild Boar, Gado the Lion, Bakuryu the Mole, Long the Tiger and lastly, Greg the Gorilla.

The European Union is slowly waking up to the fact that the US might not continue protecting it (a Republican senator introducing a bill to exit NATO, a new security direction talking about breaking up the EU) and the possibility of a Russian invasion. Multiple military and civilian facilities reporting drone sightings, Polish railway tracks being sabotaged, Portugal and Spain losing electricity for multiple hours, Russian submarines and warships along the EU coasts, severing fiber connections between Sweden and central Europe, the list goes on and on.

Obviously infrastructure will be attacked and communication cannot depend on Starlink, services from US tech companies, nor be centralised.

So, which networks (from software to hardware), can citizens join to bolster their communication in case of war? Meshtastic? Meshcore? Jami? Briar? Freifunk? What exists? What can work? Which limitations are there?

Sounds like a misnomer to me.

I just watched "Decentralized Authentication is Our Only Hope" and the dude presented a new method of authentication that went over my head. Back when reading SQRL my first thought was "damn, that's genius".

My credentials lie pretty far from cybersecurity and I'm way out of date on auth (OAuth I understand, but not webauthn and FIDO, etc.), so if somebody could maybe explain why SQRL didn't catch on, that'd be great. Was it too complciated? Did something better come along? Just general inertia?
