Someone should make a Monty Python style sketch out of this

 

Note that the outcome of the underlying case, which is about the future of the Murdoch media empire (i.e. whether control over it will fall exclusively to conservative Lachlan Murdoch or be evenly split among all four heirs, of whom three are comparatively liberal), will be extremely consequential for both media and politics on a global scale.

I'm curious about both things you mention. Do you have the name of the kernel module at hand? And can you point me to a source on the monitor flash memory (as I couldn't find anything on that)?

To add to this, I'd recommend to go through the BIOS/UEFI settings and turn off things you don't need, e.g. certain card slots, ports, fingerprint scanner, maybe the webcam.

I feel you basically. I have given up trying to control the RGB on my RAM (even though it's probably decently documented somewhere).

Physical! The same as if you reached with your hand to access your monitor's inbuilt settings dialogue.

Your comment has now motivated me to add a Windows section :)

I know nothing about this, but can OpenRGB (Linux tool) talk to your device in any way?

Rather than running a Tor relay, running a simple Tor bridge (e.g. via the browser add-on Snowflake as suggested by @ryokimball@infosec.pub) is probably the best thing to do with one's home hardware.

Actual relays must suffice certain requirements, according to the Tor project:

Requirements for Tor relays depend on the type of relay and the bandwidth they provide. ==== Bandwidth and Connections ====

A non-exit relay should be able to handle at least 7000 concurrent connections. This can overwhelm consumer-level routers. If you run the Tor relay from a server (virtual or dedicated) in a data center you will be fine. If you run it behind a consumer-level router at home you will have to try and see if your home router can handle it or if it starts failing. Fast exit relays (>=100 Mbit/s) usually have to handle a lot more concurrent connections (>100k).

It is recommended that a relay have at least 16 Mbit/s (Mbps) upload bandwidth and 16 Mbit/s (Mbps) download bandwidth available for Tor. More is better. The minimum requirements for a relay are 10 Mbit/s (Mbps). If you have less than 10 Mbit/s but at least 1 Mbit/s we recommend you run a [/wiki/doc/PluggableTransports/obfs4proxy bridge with obfs4 support]. If you do not know your bandwidth you can use http://beta.speedtest.net/ to measure it.

As for exit relays aka exit nodes, the obligatory advice is of course to not run them at all unless you know exactly what you are doing both legally and technically, and probably only if you're a foundation or something.

 

This makes it much easier to set your screen's brightness to a comfortable level at each time of the day, and to save energy.

(For Windows, see the very bottom of this post.)

On Linux, if you currently have no keyboard shortcuts for that available, a good way to create them is via ddcutil. Once you have ddcutil installed, have your displays' properties printed in the command line by typing ddcutil detect.

This should show you a list of parameters for each of the displays you have connected. For a display of your choice, try these commands:

ddcutil -n <Serial number> setvcp 10 - 5 # reduces brightness by 5 %
ddcutil -n <Serial number> setvcp 10 + 5 # increases brightness by 5 %

ddcutil -n <Serial number> setvcp 12 - 10 # reduces contrast by 10 %
ddcutil -n <Serial number> setvcp 12 + 10 # increases contrast by 10 %

ddcutil -n <Serial number> setvcp 10 0 # sets brightness to minimum
ddcutil -n <Serial number> setvcp 10 100 # sets brightness to maximum

If these commands all work, you can create in your desktop environment's settings (e.g. KDE) custom keyboard shortcuts that execute these commands. Personally, with my two displays and with dedicated "Brightness up" and "Brightness down" keys (macros) on my keyboard, I am using combinations with the modifiers Alt to address the secondary instead of the primary display, Shift, to adjust contrast instead of brightness, and Control to set an absolute value (0% or 100%) instead of going by increments.


Further notes:

Instead of addressing your displays via their serial number, you can also address your display via most other parameters shown in ddcutil detect by using another option than -n, e.g. via bus number or manufacturer name, but I've found that bus number is not persistent over the years, and manufacturer name ("Mfg id") may contain spaces which may lead to problems.

A full list of all other possible vcp commands (the numbers after setvcp) can be obtained through ddcutil vcpinfo.

If you're using a laptop, brightness adjustments for its internal screen are of course almost always a no-brainer.


On Windows 10 and perhaps 11 as well, you can apparently do the following:

Step 1: Press the Win + A to open the Action Center.

Step 2: Press Shift + Tab to select the brightness slider.

Step 3: Use the left and right arrow keys to adjust the screen brightness.

Die Autorin ist vom Wunsch nach einem möglichst umfangreichen Datenschatz so sehr eingenommen und ist so einseitig auf die Nachteile der "teils sehr feingliedrigen Möglichkeiten der Patienten" fixiert, dass sie nicht mal darüber nachdenkt, inwiefern ein Mangel an Privatsphäreoptionen Patient*innen von bestimmten medizinischen Behandlungen gänzlich abhalten würde (und damit sogar aus Datenschnorchelsicht Nachteile haben könnte, von den medizinischen und persönlichen natürlich ganz zu schweigen).

Dr. Susanne Koch berät deutsche und internationale Mandanten aus der Gesundheitsbranche und unterstützt bei Fragen zur Regulierung von Produkten und Dienstleistungen und Erstattungsthemen ebenso wie bei der Entwicklung neuer Geschäftsmodelle und im Kontext von Transaktionen.

Sie hat also auch nichts mit der Patientenseite zu tun.

Habe es bislang mal mit Brennspiritus probiert, da sorgt aber das Vergällungsmittel für einen Geruch in der Kleidung, mit dem ich die Stücke nur daheim, aber nicht unter Leuten tragen würde. Könnte aber sein, dass das ausreichend erträglich wird, wenn man die Kleidung danach noch ein paar Stunden draußen lüftet.

I have tried household ethanol, but the denaturant therin causes an odour in my clothes with which I would only wear them at home, but not when going out with people. But it could be that this becomes bearable if one airs the clothes outside for a few hours afterwards .

Nebenbei:

Als die Kostümwerkstatt des Theaters Heilbronn zum wiederholten Mal eine größere Menge Wodkaflaschen bestellte, bat der Intendant den Leiter Manuel-Roy Schweikart zu einem vertraulichen Gespräch zu sich. Was ist denn bei Ihnen los? Wozu brauchen Sie denn den ganzen Wodka? Hat da jemand ein Problem? Der Chef der Kostüm­abteilung konnte den Theater­leiter beruhigen: Wodka ist einfach das beste Mittel gegen Schweißgerüche bei Kostümen, die nicht permanent gereinigt werden können. Man füllt das hochprozentige Getränk in eine Sprühflasche und bringt den Wodkanebel auf das Kleidungsstück auf. Anschließend wird es zum Lüften aufgehängt und duftet am nächsten Tag wieder frisch. Warum das funktioniert? Der Alkohol tötet die Bakterien ab, ist aber geruchlos. »Wir haben viele Kostüme aus speziellen Materialien, die man nur schwer reinigen kann«, sagt der erfahrene Gewandmeister. Das ist ein Mittel, das man übrigens auch für den Hausgebrauch nutzen kann – statt Jacketts häufig in die Reinigung zu geben, lieber einmal mit Wodka behandeln, dann werden sie wieder frisch. Auch Stinke-Schuhe kann man auf diese Weise von lästigen Gerüchen befreien.

Beiguß.

DeepL translation:

When the costume workshop at Heilbronn Theatre ordered a large quantity of vodka bottles once again, the artistic director asked the head, Manuel-Roy Schweikart, to join him for a confidential discussion. What's going on with you? Why do you need all that vodka? Does someone have a problem? The head of the costume department was able to reassure the theatre manager: Vodka is simply the best remedy for sweat odours in costumes that can't be permanently cleaned. The high-proof drink is poured into a spray bottle and the vodka mist is applied to the garment. It is then hung up to air and smells fresh again the next day. Why does this work? The alcohol kills the bacteria but is odourless. ‘We have a lot of costumes made from special materials that are difficult to clean,’ says the experienced garment master. This is a remedy that can also be used at home - instead of taking jackets to the dry cleaners frequently, treat them with vodka once and they will be fresh again. Stinky shoes can also be freed from unpleasant odours in this way.

 

If you need a no-water option for any secondhand item that can’t be washed, like cashmere or books* etc:

Take a plastic bin with a lid that’s several times larger than the stinky thing. Sprinkle some baking soda in the bottom.

Loosely crumple and ball individual sheets of non-glossy newspaper until it fills the bottom of the bin.

Place the stinky thing on top of the layer of crumpled newspaper, and add another loose layer on top and around it.

Close the bin and set it in a sunny spot.

Throughout the day give it a little gentle shake so the baking soda in the bottom gets stirred a bit.

It can take a few days, and you’ll have faster success if you take it out in the evening and let it air outside then use fresh newspaper and baking soda in the bin when you put it in the sun again the next day.

*For books: Lay them inside opened and change up which page it is opened to once in a while so the funk and humidity etc have an easier time escaping.

 

Kennt ihr gute und ausreichend aktuelle Artikel darüber, welche Bruchlinien und Zwistigkeiten es innerhalb der AfD gibt? Ich glaube, ein besseres Verständnis derselben könnte uns sehr dabei helfen, gegen die AfD und sonstige Faschisten insgesamt vorzugehen.
