Just let them leave, or even better, pressure them to withdraw and show some teeth finally. With this whole “pwease amewica do not leave us” all they show is that trump is right with his paper tiger argument. Fuck the US, reform or fully rebuild the NATO in a proper way, without interference of rogue and enemy states.

So fucking what that the EU does not have as much forces as the US do? If Europe or NATO learned something from the Ukraine war, then it’s that a kid with a gamepad and a 100 USD drone jerry rigged with explosives can take out heavy armor. What’s the worth of an American soldier in NATO, if he’ll go rogue on order tangerine? And when it comes to a direct conflict against the US it’s not about military strength, but only about how far the current president will be willing to go. If they decide on scorched earth (conventional, not nuclear) you’re fucked, no matter whether you’re in the NATO or they’re in the NATO, simply because of the stockpile of painful shit they have access to.

Restructure the NATO as a proper defense alliance centered around European forces and under European command, where every member contributes defensive capabilities, without hiding behind single members and with their own technology, instead of constantly relying on US and Israel tech.

Personal opinion: Came over when the API changes went live, simply because being forced to their official “app”, which was a pile of garbage in all aspects for me, was too much. And since that started the exodus, I couldn’t be arsed to mess around with 3rd party apps to make them work again, because I was too lazy and it simply didn’t feel like it’s worth it anymore. Made a lemmy account, lurked mostly as I did on reddit, content for doom scrolling was lacking quantity mostly. For me there’s now enough content for the daily scrolling session, where quality posts end about as I start to get bored or need to get my ass up, so it’s a win win here.

It really just feels that more people are here. What I’m missing are a few more different users, because it kinda feels that most people here are very similar in their views, but that also would probably pave the way for more defederation drama.

Since I’m mostly lurking and liberally use the block instance/community feature to simply hide the content I’m not interested in, for me personally it only got better, so I jump in, get my daily fix of memes, news and other random interesting things, comment occasionally and get back to whatever. I’m honestly lacking an alternative, so it’s as good as it gets for now, and I’m happy with that.

Give your head a wobble mate, you’re literally out here justifying the murder of press in war zones.

They won’t get it, the good-vs-bad is so rooted so deeply in their thought process that they don’t even realize it. At this point it’s just cheering for every death of a “bad guy”. It was bad when it started with celebrating the deaths of “terrorists”, then collateral damages started to be fine as well, as long as the target died too, and somehow we ended up here, where full on war crimes and genocides against civilians are okay, as long as they are the so-called bad guys or in the way of a mission against them.

It’s honestly sickening. They are all human beings, and we all bleed all the same. Just because someone’s been born in a Hezbollah-controlled removed, or is working for an irrelevant Russian TV outlet, they don’t deserve to die, and it doesn’t make their death acceptable.

At what point did I say it was ok? Please please show me where I stated what Israel is doing is ok?

Your initial post was “they fired warning shots, he still went there it’s his fault”, I called you out on that. You doubled down with:

Are…are you ok? You do know how wars work, legitimate or not ones. You target infrastructure, that’s what Israel was doing here. This idiot knows where they were going to be bombing, and set up near it. This isn’t journalism.

You are literally dismissing any argument with “They targeted infrastructure, which is fine, and the journalist is at fault for being there”

and it’s quite hilarious that you’re simping for RT… assuming you got a little tankie in you.

Let’s go, you also need to call me a snowflake for your removed bingo card. Should’ve thought you’re a fucking American. Saying a journalist is a human being and has his human rights is simping for RT and being a tankie. You have lost any respect and value of a human life, like most of the US unfortunately.

I’m fucking done wasting time with this bipolar shit. You’re doubling and tripling down into points claiming that you’re not making those points, and you’re not interested in anything else than making your own point anyways, so whatever lol

Are…are you ok? You do know how wars work, legitimate or not ones. You target infrastructure, that’s what Israel was doing here. This idiot knows where they were going to be bombing, and set up near it. This isn’t journalism.

Again, fuck you and your arrogance. You know who’s mouthpiecing for who, what strikes have been called where and by whom, and seemingly everything else. Obviously, there isn’t a chance that Israel could’ve lied about that and deliberately striking this guy as claimed, since the Israeli government and IDF have proven to not misreport anything and they have never deliberately targeted civilians, journalists, medical personnel, or other persons of interests. Even the OHCHR stated concerns about the excessive bombings on infrastructure in Lebanon and the impact on civilians, potentially considering those as a war crime. Israeli officials threatened to do the same razing to Lebanon as they did in Gaza, and already started to do the same mass displacement orders (also a war crime btw), but they are just warning them to fuck off before they bomb the shit out of them, so that’s all fine, right?

And what is journalism then? Broadcasting from a luxury hotel far away claiming all is well? Those people risk their life to show what’s actually happening, and that’s exactly why they are protected.

So yeah, I seem to be more okay than you, at least I’m not excusing war crimes and accepting civilian casualties.

Get off your podium kid, nothing I have ever said has been in support for Israel or the US wars.

And yet you’re excusing obvious fucking war crimes. Keep lying to yourself and get back to that delicious boot.

Oh, my bad, right. Ignoring collateral civilians isn’t a war crime, because obviously they’ve been warned to fuck off. This is an amazing concept for journalism, you just tell any journalist that is uncomfortable for you to get away or they die, and if they don’t, you just kill them. Isn’t that great?

Civilians are not a legitimate target, without exceptions.

as much as Israel can go fuck itself, they literally told people they were targeting the bridge and finishing up the road destruction"

“Fuck israel, but actually no”. If the same clip would’ve been from the Ukraine with a Russian shell in the background, you would be protesting the fucking ICC already.

You’re a bootlicking asshole, excusing war crimes with pathetic double standards. Fuck you, and everyone coming up with that unhinged argument of “It’s not a crime if the good guys done it”, “it’s not a crime if the victim was a bad guy”, or both at the same time. Fuck you, and your moral pseudo hight ground. People like you are part of the reason that the US and their Israeli buddies can invade, genocide and cripple whole countries with close to zero backlash and with zero consequences.

Yeah, because it matters which journalist is targeted. The good guys are obviously allowed to target journalists of the bad guys.

You are an absolute fucking removed, just as anyone agreeing with this stupid ass take. He and his team are fucking civilians. They are not legitimate targets.

It’s not about a different function providing different randomness, but providing a compatible implementation for environments not supporting the “regular” implementation.

If this screenshot is legit, I guarantee you that either the library is older and there was some weird branching for IE or it’s brand new and had branching for the hot new JS runtime / cross compiling.

Supporting a metric fuckton of browsers and environments takes the same amount of shims.

My interpretation was OP isn’t necessarily the target here, but a victim of some Windows hack spreading around their shared network. It’s possible the whole network was “worth” such attention.

Yeah, it might be that another system in the network was the initially compromised system, but I’m questioning whether Windows malware would be able to spread over wine to a unix machine to actually cause damage there. But that’s an attack vector I literally have zero idea about, just kinda seems suspicious.

And yeah, everything in OPs story is absolutely plausible, but it’s more of a gut feeling given the provided information that it just feels off. I might be fully in the wrong here, and they’re the unluckiest random person to ever have touched a unix machine, I don’t know. Definitely curious how this will develop though.

Something about this post is weird as fuck and some part of this story is missing for sure.

First of all, routine scans with ClamAV. Why are you routinely scanning your system, and what’s your expectation here? In most cases system compromise happens by executing something malicious or by exploiting something on your system, For the former, an active background scanner would help, but not a routine scan, and it’s easier to just not execute suspicious stuff. For the latter, your routine scanning is worthless.

Then the compromise over a WINE DLL seems something between borderline impossible on one hand, and like a very targeted and handcrafted attack on the other hand. Sure, wine is not a sandbox, but seeing this as the point of entry for a full blown persistent RAT is weirding me out massively.

Lastly, “them” setting up seemingly good persistence on your system, yet not hiding any indicators of compromise, and then nuking everything when they are seen. Why that effort? Either set yourself up for the long run and hide, or when detected just say “eh, whatever”. This also seems weird, since on one hand there’s indication for a professional, targeted attack, and other points sound more like rookie script kiddies.

Lastly, you. You seem like a pretty confident user while getting hit like that. It just feels off.

I’m not claiming you’re lying, and I couldn’t blame you for leaving information out because of opsec. But everything about this story feels off. I kinda assume that you’ve been actively targeted, and you should ask yourself why. What information or access do you have? How have you been pwned that “easily” and where did that DLL come from? How was it placed and executed?

The easiest way would be to set up caddy to use acme on the servers, and never care about certificates again. See https://caddyserver.com/docs/automatic-https.

If you insist on your centralized solution, which is perfectly fine imo, just place the certificates to a directory properly accessible to caddy, and make sure to keep the permissions minimal, so that the keys are only accessible by authorized users.

If the certificates are only for caddy, there’s no reason to mess around in system folders.

In all honesty, the constant rambling against any service provider when something goes wrong is tiring. as. fuck.

“I’m not using anything, I’m self-hosting everything and no cloudflare can take ME down!” - hot stuff buddy, let’s talk again when at some point you’ll have something interesting and get hugged to death. Or when something of your diy self hosted stack breaks or gets taken down by an attack.

“I’m not using (big company name) but (small startup name), and I’m not having any issues!” - wow, great, obviously the goal of the company is to stay as small as they are and supply your service. Let’s talk again too, when at some point your friendly startup gets sold, or grows more. Oh btw, smaller company usually also means less resources.

“That’s all because they are using centralized services, we need to federate everything to not have a single point of failure” - federation alone won’t help if the centralized service has several magnitudes of resources more. Any single cloudflare exit node can probably handle several times the load of the fediverse. We’ve seen lemmy instances go down all the same, and this will happen with any infrastructure.

I’m not supporting big companies having that much market share and the amount of control over the Internet as a whole that they have. But, have at least some respect from a technical standpoint for the things they’ve built. I’d say way over 80% here haven’t seen infrastructure, traffic and software on a scale that’s even remotely close to the big players, but are waffling about how this or that is better and how those problems should be solved and handled. Sit the fuck down.

In addition to all the suggestions - check out modding databases like nexusmods or whatever. Many older games that would not fit your definition have graphical mods that will make your GPU work.

Personally I’ve played modded stalker, fallout, elder scrolls. Hell, you can make Minecraft look absolutely amazing, but it’s a pain to set up properly. You’ve mentioned you’re not into horror games, some games also have total conversions available that do a some genre bending too.

Cyberpunk is not that old, but it’s one of the best looking games ever made IMHO.

Witcher 3, also potentially with mods.

No matter how well reasoned, allegedly fit for purpose or how much something pretends to be it, we shouldn’t be trusting those promises, especially not from people we don’t know. That does not end well neither for the free candy van nor for cybersecurity. Trust like that has been responsible for a lot of attacks over varying vectors and for projects going wrong.

On the other hand, detrimental reliance is a tort and if someone is relying on an app for a specific safety function, the app could be civilly liable if it fails it’s function in some way.

Yes, if the app would be any kind of official tool.

Imagine if you had this attitude about an insulin use tracker/calculator, that sometimes gave wildly wrong insulin dose numbers.

Yes, and that’s why regulations for those kinds of things exist, that prevent those things. There is no regulation for the ice tracker.

Maybe down the road, it’s decided that aiding and abetting ICE is a crime, and providing misinformation intentionally or unintentionally is a criminal act. App developer dude could be criminally liable if he knew or ought to have known he had vulnerabilities. You know, in your New Nuremberg trials that you are going to get sometime in the next decade or so.

If down the road a regulation would happen for, app developer dude would be forced to either comply or to stop operations.

So fucking what? He is not being paid in any kind, and anything he does on that project is volunteer work. If he was not able to do anything on that project due to regular work, vacation, personal issues, or the simple fact that he didn’t want to?

If you don’t pay for a service, you don’t get to decide what people do, deal with it

Honestly, apart from the report being potentially wrong, the researcher seems pretty entitled as well. Like good intentions and all that, but he’s given him a week to fix the issue, usual practice in responsible disclosure are 90 days. We’re not talking about a company here, it’s some single random dude providing the app.

This really sounds like some personal issue written down for public drama, while making himself ridiculous for not knowing his own shit properly.

Done.

Sorry, I am an idiot and have not read the community name. Skip the bacon and get some mushrooms in that.

• sauteed onions
• fried mushrooms
• or both!

If it’s “too heavy” for your taste, make a nice salad to eat with it, personal favorite is tomato-onion, or really anything to your taste.

I’m not vegan myself, and It tastes really good with bacon - so it might be good with vegan bacon or similar meat replacements, but depending on the product, you might need to add oil/butter to prevent it from drying out too much.

Edit: Edited out non vegan recommendation without context.
