Reddit blocking all major search engines, except Google
  • Kagi is a search engine. They do their own indexing, and they aggregate search results.

    It's right in their docs.

  • Reddit blocking all major search engines, except Google
  • They do both. Which is how they're able to provide some of the more unique filters and lenses. They maintain their own indexes.

    This is reasonably documented: https://help.kagi.com/kagi/search-details/search-sources.html

  • MAGA world is really mad that Trump is no longer running against Biden
  • The smear campaign for Harris is already ramping up into full fashion.

    Anything and everything is being thrown at the wall to see if it sticks. It's absolutely disgusting behavior.

  • MAGA world is really mad that Trump is no longer running against Biden
  • Yep. It's no longer about the policies or what we can do to improve the country and protect it.

    It's all about framing and mudslinging and nothing more. Just look at the absolute insane level of astroturfing and bot spam over the last few days throwing absolutely everything at the wall to discredit and drum up hate against Harris.

    All it is is a campaign to rile up right wingers to hate someone else. It's literally nothing more than this, there's no actual value to any of it it is the opposite of valuable to this country.

  • No need to call it it's already happening

    If you try and do everything at once you get nothing done at all.

  • I definitely don't like it, I'm pretty sure exponentially doesn't mean what this comment thinks it means though....

  • Because it's relevant? Is this not factual information that readers may or may not have known?

    The availability of hardware changes by a not-negligent degree based on the legality of acquiring it.

    Curious readers likely find information indicating that these shouldn't be readily available at your local big box store to be pertinent information.

  • An angry admin shares the CrowdStrike outage experience
  • Sounds like a nightmare for security, and a dream for attackers.

    More companies need to do this, solid job security.

  • I love the Linux bros coming out of the woodwork on this one when this could have very well have been Linux on the receiving end of this shit show. Given that it's a kernal level software issue, and not necessarily an OS one.

    It's largely infeasible to use Linux for many, most, of these endpoints. But facts are hard.

  • So is the global IT crash fixed yet?
  • No, still a shit show at airports at the time of writing.

    Lots of kiosks, screens, and other devices still show BSODs in airports. Systems still slow and unstable.

    Likely similar in other industries.

  • Some bad code just broke a billion Windows machines
  • To be fair this seems to be the sentiment on most Linux and linux-ancillary forums.

    Which while wrong and ignorant on multiple levels, seems on brand none the less.

  • Some bad code just broke a billion Windows machines
  • Lol good fuckin luck.

    In a corporate environment you just aren't getting what you need out of Linux that you don't of windows for many of the kinds of endpoints affected.

  • Major IT outage affecting banks, airlines, media outlets across the world
  • How do you deal with places with thousands of remote endpoints??

  • Disney hack leads to 1.2TB of Slack communications leaked online
  • Depends. Our engineering slack (Few thousand members) doesn't contain secrets for a few reasons:

    1. Secret scanning
    2. We have a /secret bot that will take your secret, store it securely, and then present a GUI for each person with access to display that secret "for just that person". And then after a set period of time it's made inaccessible, and wiped from the infra.
    3. Training and knowledge transfer on secret security

    This has been incredibly effective. Especially the secret bot.

    Turns out that the problem with people sharing secrets is just a matter of convenience. If you make a secure way convenient then everyone tends to just use it by default.

  • Disney hack leads to 1.2TB of Slack communications leaked online
  • Just because it's not marketed doesn't mean it's not offered

  • Your logic isn't making sense.

    The code would end up somewhere for others to use...? What?

    One-off products or beta offerings are often kept private, sometimes indefinitely.

  • Advice Needed: How to get immunotherapy treatment in a rural area where the clinics do not administer the shots?

    I have already seen an allergist, and was on ramp up. We had to move, and to my surprise none of the clinics here will administer allergy shots.

    There is a speciality clinic that will, but only if you are a patient of their allergist, they won't administer injections unless it came from them. There is a 3y wait-list for their allergist.

    This is terrible news. My seasonal allergies are debilitating, they are a disability. In the words of my allergist "You are allergic to the world".

    I could administer them at home, my spouse is an MA and knows how to do the subcutaneous shots. However, that's dangerous, and my allergist refuses to allow me to do this.

    The alternative would be to just walk into a clinic or ER, get the shots administered by my spouse in the lobby. Wait the 20-30 minutes to ensure no anaphylactic reaction, and go home. And do this till I've ramped. But I get the feeling this won't go over well....

    What sort of advice do you have for me on navigating this Lemmy? I was receiving treatment for this condition, and now I can't, which is essentially driving me into depression.

    Right to Repair Act passes Oregon legislature

    This is great news, and a strong step forward.

    A big part of this are the limitations around part pairing. Which often prevents repairs as the parts on the device are paired to each other and do not allow you to swap them out.

    Recently this has become a problem even for EUVs like OneWheel. Who lock consumers out of repairing or modifying their devices.

    French tech firm Valeo accused Nvidia of using stolen information as a "blueprint for future corporate espionage."

    How do you search for and go to a community directly?

    I can't seem to figure out how to do this in liftoff.

    The best search and find method that I have for communities is to create a new post and I can search through the communities on an instance there.

    However I'm not sure how else to search for communities, it just go directly to one, as the search function isn't to helpful right now.
