... or check on #winehq whether your favourite #windows #exe application or game can run with #wine on #linux:
https://appdb.winehq.org

those who want a #linux install with #wine, but don't want to wipe their windows, can make a #persistent #liveusb.

@f @ai6yr @briankrebs I think it's less of a "#political" question but an act of #SelfDefense and #MutualDefense at this point.

• So far @torproject / #TorBrowser set to highest security settings is the most secure option that has proper maintenance & track record and ain't a #TUI-only app like #LynxBrowser.

Re: #TechIlliterates that are unwilling to learn, act like a "#BenevolentDictator" and enshure they can't harm themselves in the sense that they don't get #sudo or other administrative privilegues and can't do any #persistent #changes.

• And if that means they get forced to use #Tails then that's a "necessary evil"...

After all, societies almost everywhere ban people from driving motor vehicles faster than 6 km/h by people who actively refuse to even take basic exams and classes for a #DrivingLicense.

• And I'm convinced one can do more damage as #TechIlliterate with a #PC than a single-cylinger two-stroke engine driven motorcycle...

@ai6yr @briankrebs OFC this targets #TechIlliterates and the only effective means here are:

1. Teach #TechLiteracy instead of consumerism.
2. Mandate #confirmation & #notification - #PopUp|s for every use of #Clipboard (similar to #webcam use by websites)...
3. Ban #JavaScript - seriously!
4. Ban #Windows, because it's a #Govware, espechally since #Windows10 and even more so on #Windows11 that is *insecure in every configuration!
5. Put #TechIlliterates before a system they can't feck up. I.e. @tails_live @tails / #Tails for that reason alone (can't run such commands if they neither got #root nor any #persistent #storage to target).
6. Normalize the use of @torproject #TorBrowser!
7. #Teach #tech #literacy instead of #consumerism!
8. Ban #GAFAMs and their shitty products!
9. Migrate every #TechIlliterate to #Linux and don't give them administrative privilegues.
10. Teach tech literacy instead of consumerism!

@JustOneMoreThing

They're #smart, they're #stubborn and #persistent, and their teeth and claws can get through almost anything else - the hardware cloth I have is a 1/4" steel wire mesh made of (I think) 19- or 20-gauge steel wire. They can get through anything flimsier than that. So it blocks off parts of the rooms we don't want them in (wires, speakers, etc) and you learn to live with The Rabbit Owner House Look.

Don't get too attached to soft furnishings and carpets either

@moebeus @adafede @ainali @wikidata @querywikidata
Same approach.
This project merges the data fetching (#SPARQL + github action) and the data processing/display. My approach was to split these two concerns into two github repositories.

At Wikimania Singapore, i heard Wikimedia was considering creating a similar online service, so #persistent, rapid, and regularly #updated results stay available and fetchable in millisecs. Question are: true ? Then when ?
#wikidata

@iska #Persistent #ObjectStorage instead of a #filesystem?

Yeah, while there *were* OSes that tried that, most of them died for a number of reasons (including blatantly anticompetitive political shit sometimes).

#Database #storage would qualify too, since most of them can do vacuuming of delete/unused backing storage.

Otherwise, #persistence / #prevalence libraries exist for a few languages but that'll be very program-specific.

@quikkie Somehow VMWare Hub is linked in as a ?container? to the Knox Security service that is on Samsung. The Factory Reset using the ADB didn't get rid of the Hub software. It is a pretty good #Infosec #Andriod #Persistent #Threat. I certainly hope that #VMWare has thoroughly tested their Work Profile software, seems like a good entry point for #Redteam or #Blackhat #Cyberattack (or third party compromise). People have been looking at holes in the software and have found some already (may have been patched)

#Paracelsus', “the dose makes the poison”, is an irresponsible axiom for #managing #persistent substances that accumulate in the environment. In 1962, #RachelCarson did not know that PFAS could be a poison, and in 2023, scientists are still researching the dose.

And to wrap - if you don't have your own apache instance, you can absolutely pull off this same level of shenanigans with what we did earlier with verified #github:URLs, same code:

https://github.com/DrCuff/drcuff.github.io/blob/main/index.html

Same dealio, just change the names and URL, add a custom DNS to point at "the hub" .io address and there you have it, "#persistent" #mastodon URL -

It's like an amex, don't leave home without it.
