1984

I used to do a mix of ordinary pushups and calisthenics, and the hardest parts were to do really slow pushups. Now ive been getting a bit lazy again and not working out as i should.

Whats a good starting program to get strong again?

This is pretty cool and one of the top comments on Hacker News describes it the best:

It's easier to understand this if you look at the onion protocol. Broadly, it introduces noise between all users on the network by constantly sending and receiving random bytes to and from each node. This prevents external listeners from figuring out where the main server is. Originally designed to protect naval command ships, it was later used for the "dark web". If you don't know which node is the server, you can't shut it down, or read data off of it. Simplex does something similar. A connects to B. B connects to C. And A and C connect. They all chat. but there is no way to know A, B, or C, because from the outside, it all looks like: X connects to Y, X connects to Y, X connects to Y. So who spoke to whom? This is great. Even if "the authorities" demand access to chat logs, first, they won't know what to ask for. Chats between whom? Second, they still won't know who spoke to whom even if they have all the data. It's anonymized chats. They would have to sift through all of it. It still won't prevent someone invading privacy if they have physical access to your device, since the identities are stored locally for your usage convenience.

As usual, very quick fixes for these vulnerabilities on Linux.

This flaw is now patched in the 5.10.179-5 kernel package of Debian GNU/Linux 11 “Bullseye” and 6.1.38-4 kernel package of Debian GNU/Linux 12 “Bookworm”. However, to fully mitigate the vulnerability, users will also have to install the intel-microcode 3.20230808.1~deb11u1 package.

I just created a Technology community here and you should join it!

I think the more communities that are spread out on smaller instances, the better. We should aim to avoid centralized like reddit.

So join up, post something interesting. :)

Infosec super-band the Cult of the Dead Cow has released Veilid (pronounced vay-lid), an open source project applications can use to connect up clients and transfer information in a peer-to-peer decentralized manner.

The idea being here that apps – mobile, desktop, web, and headless – can find and talk to each other across the internet privately and securely without having to go through centralized and often corporate-owned systems. Veilid provides code for app developers to drop into their software so that their clients can join and communicate in a peer-to-peer community.

I think this sounds absolutely awesome. So when can we integrate this into Lemmy for private messaging?

Who is surprised by this? Its a bone headed move to force people back into the office. There are literally only advantages to working at least hybrid, up to 4 days per week. At least in the technology field, if you are someone who needs to focus to get shit done.

I dont know who is a neovim user here, but its one of my favorite code editors for a long time.

I didnt use vim much but neovim is built on its core principles.

Editors come and go. Right now its VS Code that is popular. But it will eventually fade away and be replaced by something else. As a person who also really dislike big tech, I want to use an editor that doesnt come from a big tech company. And neovim is just amazing.

If anyone wants tips on resources etc, just ping me.

I've been playing around with themes a bit, and also with the new user interfaces we just got on Lemmy.today, but I still think the default web theme is the best.

I'm on mobile apps most of the time but when I use the web version, I prefer the default.

Am I alone with this opinion? There seemed to be so much hype for the optional user interfaces. They look kind of cool at first but they are a bit too messy for me.

The Enshittification may have begun of this service too.

I'm actually a paying customer myself of Chat Gpt, and I havent personally seen any ads. But it's bad enough if this is something that will start to appear in people's answers.

Anyone else experienced this?

Update: The reason for this was found and it wasn't the service itself that started doing this.
