In the past I've been hacked for some owncloud lldap vulnerability.

Do not allow access to owncloud without a vpn!!


I don't doubt your experience, but I wonder what the issue was. The only LDAP-related issue I find (cve-2021-40537) also requires compromised admin-credentials to exploit. Of course, with compromised admin credentials, all bets are off anyway.

I know it is only anecdotal, but I have been running OwnCloud for many years now, available without a VPN, with no security problems.


I see absolutely nothing special in a pc that lives 10 years. Most pc last that long. And my centrino-1 vaio laptop from 2004 is still alive


Agreed. My dad (74 now) uses an IBM Thinkpad T23 (2001, fully upgraded to 1Gb of RAM) running Linux with an old version of Rocrail to control his model railroad.

Install the version from F-Droid instead.


bringing back species because we'd like to taste them is somehow interesting


The guys who manned the lighthouse on the island said they are awful.

Kākāpō are apparently pleasant to eat, but very little meat on them, you'd need 3 - 5 for a good meal, according to Charlie "Mr Explorer" Douglas.


ha! we'll fix that through breeding, like we did for cows and chickens.


On the other hand allegedly giant tortoises (not yet extinct) are the most delicious animal on Earth.

There's probably still a niche market for novelty meats from extinct species though.


If lab grown meat takes off there's no reason in principle for why cattle, chickens and pigs couldn't be replaced by say the blue whale, dodo and black rhino.

We might even find human meat at the supermarket. If all you need is a small cell culture to bootstrap most or all current ethical, conservation and disease concerns will go out the window.

Or completely novel creations.

Spoiler: Project Hail Mary brings up the concept briefly. Interesting novel otherwise, too.


I seem to recall a short story about a future in which you can order not just human meat but your own meat and even the meat of celebrities. It doesn't seem entirely implausible if you consider porn performers already lending their "likeness" to sex toys. You or I might find the idea revolting but there is absolutely a market for "eating your favorite celebrity". Alternatively in such a future one might make the ethical argument that "your own meat" is the only meat you can ethically consume because it does not require anyone else's consent (which might be coerced).


Who says it only has to be a real animal? Give me Rapirin Corto(TM) - the naturally spicy fruity sirloin!


Taco Bell chubacabra tacos.


I don't see many people rushing to eat lab grown meat unless it's signifiantly cheaper(i.e cheaper than what's used in junk food "restaurants").


And I don't even think people are the primary market, but large industry; they're all about min/maxing, and don't care where the meat that goes into e.g. chicken nuggets or sausages comes from.


People also hated lobster back then.



I have a 2000 days streak... I finished the Japanese course twice, all gold. Now they changed and I am at unit ~45/90. It will take me ~45months to finish it again.

And I am still not able to understand even a basic Japanese dialogue

I wonder if Rosetta Stone is better


oh, it's for mac only


I'm a huge fun of Beyond Burger. It's awesome!

...but it is so expensive. In my country (EU) it's easily 2x the price of real meat. And sells frozen in packs of 10. And there is ONE store that sells it.

At reduced price, packs of 2 would be a hit. Like this it's "yeah I tried it once, it was good... nope, not going to buy again"


All a matter of time... the same exact sentiment was once said for flat screen TVs, laptops, cell phones, etc.


His family should have monitored his online activity but failed horribly to do so.


He was 21 at the time and thus legally an adult.


You can't really have it both ways. If he was a responsible adult then he deserves the punishment that he's getting. If he wasn't fully capable then his family really needed to be practicing ongoing oversight over him.


#1 Problem is: sweat

Even in winter, after a couple of minutes the headset screen is completely foggy and my head is uncomfortable

I tried the oculus, htc, cardboards... all the same. At this point I think this technology will simply not work for me


for Quest, BoboVR makes a pretty nifty face adapter with exhaust/circulation fan that works pretty great at mitigating the fogging.

and now donate to Wikipedia, because you just caused them to pay for 95Gb of (useless) traffic


That really isn't how it works.
