A meme for math people
  • This dude is great at explaining math, including this: https://yewtu.be/watch?v=r0_mi8ngNnM

  • What's going on with typescript?
  • I think it’s more of a JSDoc > TS thing. I need to check the drama, but I don’t believe anyone would want to write vanilla JS without some type declarations..

  • Addictive
  • I’m with you on this one, but everyone experiences this differently. I have never forgotten a single dose since I started about 5 years ago. The difference with and without medication is night and day, I’m barely at 20% functionality without them, and 90-100% with.

  • So, what should I make of this?
  • Looking at the behaviour, this is some really shady piece of software, changing credentials, adding scheduled tasks as an admin, etc.

    Avoid.

  • My ISP sends me letters even if I am torrenting on VPN. Is there anyway to make my traffic not look like torrenting?
  • What, they don’t allow torrenting legal stuff? So you can’t download Windows 11 as a torrent from Microsoft? Sounds like a sassy ISP.

  • Lemmy.world and another instance have been compromised
  • It’s worse than that. Until Lemmy is more mature, I would reccomend using the lite version of Lemmy, the JS-free version, for sake of client side security. Alternatively, or as an added point of security, the front-ends themselves should implement more sanitazion themselves. I’m willing to spend some free time vulnerability testing, but I would need a dedicated sand-box for that.

  • Facebook turns over mother and daughter’s chat history to police resulting in abortion charges
  • Yes, I’m not arguing or anything, I forgot to mention I appreciated the added context you provided. Just wanted to further expand on it for those wanting to get more context, as it seems to be a lot of people in the thread that didn’t read the article

  • Facebook turns over mother and daughter’s chat history to police resulting in abortion charges
  • The article:

    Court and police records show that police began investigating 17-year-old Celeste Burgess and her mother Jessica Burgess after receiving a tip-off that the pair had illegally buried a stillborn child given birth to prematurely by Celeste. The two women told detective Ben McBride of the Norfolk, Nebraska Police Division that they’d discussed the matter on Facebook Messenger, which prompted the state to issue Meta with a search warrant for their chat history and data including log-in timestamps and photos.

    From Motherboard (where you also can read court documents):

    The state’s case relies on evidence from the teenager’s private Facebook messages, obtained directly from Facebook by court order, which show the mother and daughter allegedly bought medication to induce abortion online, and then disposed of the body of the fetus.

    According to court records, Celeste Burgess, 17, and her mother, Jessica Burgess, bought medication called Pregnot designed to end pregnancy. Pregnot is a kit of mifepristone and misoprostol, which is often used to safely end pregnancy in the first trimester. In this case, Burgess was 28-weeks pregnant, which is later in pregnancy than mifepristone and misoprostol are recommended for use. It’s also later than Nebraska’s 20-week post-fertilization abortion ban, which makes allowances only if the pregnant person is at risk of death or "serious risk of substantial and irreversible physical impairment of a major bodily function." (Nebraska’s abortion laws have not changed since Roe v Wade was overturned).

  • Facebook turns over mother and daughter’s chat history to police resulting in abortion charges
  • 1984 indeed..

    However, private chat messages are only one component in a whole range of digital evidence that is likely to be used by police to prosecute illegal abortions in the United States. Investigators will be able to request access to many data sources, including digital health records, Google search history, text messages, and phone location data.

  • Facebook turns over mother and daughter’s chat history to police resulting in abortion charges
  • (Also not a Lawyer) I’m not familiar with the laws in Nebraska, but they wouldn’t be able to get the messages from Meta. They would need to get on the devices, but it seemed like the people charged themselves tipped off about using Messenger to the police. The only other way to get E2EE message from a device without consent is with the use of force.

    From the article:

    However, campaigners note that Meta always has to comply with legal requests for data, and that the company can only change this if it stops collecting that data in the first place. In the case of Celeste and Jessica Burgess, this would have meant making end-to-end encryption (E2EE) the default in Facebook Messenger. This would have meant that police would have had to gain access to the pair’s phones directly to read their chats. (E2EE is available in Messenger but has to be toggled on manually. It’s on by default in WhatsApp.)

  • Eivind Trædal fra MDG vil bekjempe gjengvold på Grønland ved å selge hasj på polet.
  • TL:DR; Veldig mye må gjøres, og jeg tror vi må starte med å tilgjengeliggjøre god informasjon, redusere skadene som skapes av tunge stoffer, og kontrollere distribusjonen av milde stoffer (som foreslått i artikkelen)

    Jeg er enig i det du skriver, men jeg tror ikke det er mulig å få folk til å slutte med f.eks. sniffing av kokain. Jeg tror heller da det er en bedre strategi å redusere skader, både fysiske, og psykososiale. Det må være mulig å gå bort i fra å straffe bruk, og gå over til å tilby helsehjelp, og ikke ta i form av "pisse kontrakter", "signér her for å velge avrusning fremfor fengsel, og lykkes du ikke må du i fengsel".

    Ved å selge hasj på polet nornaliserer man i en viss grad stoffet, hindrer majoriteten av "eksperimentell ungdom" fra å få et kriminelt nettverk, og fratar en stor andel inntekt fra kriminelle, men dette vet vi alt. Jeg tror bare ikke det er overførbart for andre tyngre stoffer.

    Det burde være mulig å kategorisere rusmisbruk av narkotiske stoffer på samme linje med alkoholmisbruk, selv om mange assosierer det første med noe helt annet enn det siste. Det burde informeres mye bedre hvordan disse stoffene virker.

    Jeg vet det informeres i fengsler at en stor andel av de som dør av heroinoverdose dør etter de kommer ut av fengsel og ikke tar i betraktning at toleransen er tilbake på null før man setter skuddet. Dette kunne vært redusert med sprøyterom i alle kommuner, hvor man kan snakke med helsepersonell, med naloxon på veggen.

    Det burde normaliseres å gi bort testutstyr på linje med prevensjon(kondomer), helst med alternative metoder til nettbestilling som ikke samler inn personalia, for å få ned dødsfallet blant de som får andre stoffer enn de forventet. Det kan jo også løses ved at staten kontrollerer distribusjon av alt, men det virker usannsynlig for meg i hvert fall..

    Jeg skal se om jeg finner tid til å finne kildene, men det er blitt gjort studier hvor de har forsøkt å gi stoffer som lisdeksamfetamin til amfetaminavhengige, med en relativt god effekt.

  • Russia temporarily restricts access to the global network to test its 'sovereign Internet'
  • We have the same issue with China, even though ‘nefarious elements’ is country agnostic, those attacking from China, from within the great firewall, still does so, and filtering the nefarious still isn’t trivial. I wouldn’t believe this would be any different, but I have no knowledge about their system, just the assumption that they have adopted a lot of the same techniques and procedures.

    Edit: Changed from ‘nefarious people’ to ‘nefarious element’ as mentioned in the comment

  • My first home server

    I need some advice on what hardware to buy for my home setup. I see a lot of posts talking about software, but not so much hardware. I would love to have a box I can buy and start setting up stuff.

    A rack seems a bit expensive, my initial budget I feel is reasonable starting out is about $500-$800.

    I’ve been looking at mini PCs, what are your thoughts on ASUS PN52? Just throwing that into the post to give a pin point of what I’m looking for.

    I’m planning on hosting

    • Bitwarden
    • Nextcloud
    • Plex
    • Standard notes
    • Lemmy instance
    • Web server
    • Openresty

    And need to be able to upgrade storage etc. for future proofing.

    Thankful for all insights, tips, and suggestions!
