    First of all, what makes you think he was killed by a government? It’s all speculation at this point.

    The only thing that is certain is that his death is very convenient, to a lot of very rich, very well connected people who may or may not have organized to allow him to be “suicided” in jail. Most of these people probably did not want him to reveal that they also were pedophiles, and that they had sex with very young children that Epstein procured for them.

    But beyond that, there is the question of justice, and the fact that victims did not get it, and other guilty parties were not judged.

    In other words, money and power can protect you from the law. This is what riles people off. Epstein is dead, but justice has not been served.

  • Parade du Grotesque@lemmy.sdf.orgtolinuxmemes•What's your favourite OS that does not use systemd?

    It’s either Slackware (Linux, no systemd), OpenBSD or NetBSD.

    True story: I install a Red Hat server with a disk shelf with about 12 SAS disk in it. Red Hat has systemd. Everything works fine for a month.

    One (1) disk out of the 12 fails. No biggie. Shutdown the server cleanly. Replace disk. Flip power back on. Rebuild disk config. Simple, right?

    Wrong. You see, systemd is unhappy. It detects a new disk. It has lost a previous disk. And so, it refuses to boot. Period.

    Yes, there are ways out of this. But that was the day I decided systemd was the down of the devil.

    If that’s the case, my advice is to spend some time to understand the finer point of kernel configuration and compiling, and to compile a kernel as stripped down as possible. Hint : ‘dmesg’ and ‘make menuconfig’ are your friends.

    Include only the drivers you know you need, and especially network, graphical card, and sound card, and make sure you target your CPU architecture. Then, and only then, can you start including fancy configurations like the ones you mentioned.

    Finally, consider adding as much memory and SSDs in your configuration as possible, as these usually have a huge impact on performance.

    Yes, they do.

    The reason for this is that the Catholic church is one of the most powerful (if not the most powerful) religious movement on Earth.

    Its interests may conflict with many countries interests (USA, Russia, China, Israel, etc) and its influence can be enormous in the countries where it is present. Think about the Church position on Gaza or Ukraine, for instance.

    Many intelligence services therefore spy on the Vatican. The NSA, for instance, is on the record as saying they never cracked its codes (which is a debate for some other day), it was mentioned in the Puzzle Palace if I remember correctly.

    I would say, like many others, Remmina.

    Putty also has a Linux version, so you can use that as well. Its session management is a bit clunky, but it works and it offers some fairly good functionalities.

    But ssh is first and foremost a command line tool. As others have said, invest some time to learn its commands and configuration files.

    The question is this: if your distribution already provides a working kernel, and the battery life and performance are acceptable, why waste your time recompiling a new kernel?

    Compiling your Linux kernel used to be mandatory, precisely because Linux was so fast moving and because hardware management was poor. This is (mostly) not the case anymore.

    Use the kernel provided by your distribution, and let them worry about updating testing and securing it.

    I say this as someone who used to compile kernels, to support all the hardware in my servers. I don’t do this anymore, and I haven’t done this since 2010 or so.

    You have to define ‘we’ and you also have to define ‘WW3’.

    Possible scenarios:

    • USA decides to get actively involved in Ukraine’s conflict. Yes, that could spell WW3. Low probability, though, since Trump does not care about Ukraine.

    • Russia decides to attack Western Europe. Probably only a regional conflict, since Trump would probably pull out of NATO. This is the scenario a lot of European nations are gaming today.

    • China attacks Taiwan and/or North Korea attacks South Korea. Probably a regional conflict, but with a high probability of escalation. Trump would drop both South Korea and Taiwan at the drop of a hat.

    • Iran attacks Israel, probably through proxy. Regional conflict. This is already going on, so low risk of escalation.
