Detailed episode for pairing with the very light "A Great Day for Linux". Hope you enjoy it. Since Lemmy struggles with markdown from Castopod, here is a link to the notes.
Approaching Docker, Containers, and Compose for curious Self-hosters
This is a bonus Linux Prepper podcast, available as a detailed companion to “A Great Year for Linux”. This is a discussion with HB, stemming from this post on Lemmy learning from admins who avoid container technology.Podcasts by james.network
[CW: bombing but no blood] Today, Israel recovered its last captive in Gaza, and to celebrate, it once again massively bombarded the city of Gaza with artillery shells targeting residential areas.
They said that if the captives were returned, it would all be over... but they continue to bombard Gaza anyway.

Mindmaps with export to md/tex?
Hey folks
I find myself structuring out much larger documents these days, and I'd really like to make use of some mindmapping software to do it. I used to use kdissert (now semantik) all the time - I'd map out the idea, then add in details to each node, and export to tex for final adjustments. Really nice workflow imo.
Unfortunately, semantik is getting a bit long in the tooth, and while it builds fine on my arch boxes, its a bit of a mess for Debian. Rather than annoy myself with hunting for or making my own builds of the various packages I'd need just for this, I'm hoping that maybe there are some more regularly maintained options out there.
Any ideas? TIA

Why has Microsoft been routing example.com traffic to a company in Japan? - Ars Technica - All content (Dan Goodin)
From the Department of Bizarre Anomalies: Microsoft has suppressed an unexplained anomaly on its network that was routing traffic destined to example.com—a domain reserved for testing purposes—to a maker of electronics cables located in Japan.Under the RFC2606—an official standard maintained by the Internet Engineering Task Force—example.com isn’t obtainable by any party. Instead it resolves to IP addresses assigned to Internet Assiged Names Authority. The designation is intended to prevent third parties from being bombarded with traffic when developers, penetration testers, and others need a domain for testing or discussing technical issues. Instead of naming an Internet-routable domain, they are to choose example.com or two others, example.net and example.org.
Output from the terminal command cURL shows that devices inside Azure and other Microsoft networks have been routing some traffic to subdomains of sei.co.jp, a domain belonging to Sumitomo Electric. [...]

Ces dix dernières années, nous avons vu émerger un marché mondial de logiciels espions prêts à l’emploi (Pegasus, Predator, etc.) qui permettent aux gouvernements de surveiller leurs citoyen·nes et leurs adversaires étrangers, et ce plus facilement qu’à l’époque où ce travail nécessitait des compétences techniques poussées.
Indépendentistes catalans, militants italiens aidant les réfugié·es ou encore journalistes français : les Etats multiplient les cibles grâce à cette nouvelle forme de surveillance.
Pour comprendre comment ces dispositifs ont pu émerger et se propager, il faut revenir sur leurs origines. Les entreprises israéliennes occupent une place prédominante dans ce marché et influent sur la manière dont le reste du monde, et en premier lieu la France, surveille sa population.
Technopolice Bruxelles et La Quadrature du Net proposent une conférence pour expliquer et échanger autour de ces nouvelles menaces et mettre la lumière sur l’influence que l’industrie, l’armée et les services de renseignements israéliens ont sur la manière dont nous pouvons être surveillés ici, en France.
La présentation sera suivie d’une discussion pour échanger sur les enjeux de sécurité numérique afin de mieux s’outiller contre ce type de surveillance et contre la répression.

Their stock is literally a penny stock right now. Down 95% in the last 5 years....

I disagree that their only course of action is to layoff entire studios that actually generate their revenue.

in reply to RamRabbit • • •Sure, they need a drastic redirect on what games they’re making and their shitty launcher. They need to return to making games people want to buy, instead of shoveling crap.
This requires fairly compensated labor.

in reply to RamRabbit • • •Oh wow 😲, you mean statements like:
"You need a little friction to create games"
“Microtransactions make the player experience more fun”
“Nothing is eternal” about support for older games
And wonderful decisions like:
always-online DRM
Removal of Access to Purchased Games
microtransactions in full-priced single-player games
Making the same game 500 times
Partnerships with Tencent.
Might have been bad ideas that lead to a lack of consumer trust and we have absolutely no reason to be forced into buying from a game company we don't like since literally anyone can download a game engine and start making games for free? Are you saying Yves Guillemot has been wrong this entire time? That's impossible next you'll be telling me EA or Bethesda is just as doomed and indie games will be just fine so gamers will be all the better for it.

So strike now, sue for union busting later.

Now, who isn't getting what they deserve are all of the hardworking people that actually do the work for the company. The ones getting shitcanned.
