Because they don’t want to lose a method of tracking us wherever we show our faces. I think masks will be a fashion in the future, and they are just so comfortable.

But I would not have disabled my ad blocker in other circumstances, but YouTube is forcing me to disable it against my better judgment to be able to use the site.

If YouTube takes files from 3rd parties and simply displays them, then viruses are possible. This is more true of ads placed via ad-broker on other websites. To get ad revenue a webmaster provides a space where the ad is inserted. The ad is provided by a 3rd party who pays the ad broker for placement. Neither the webmaster nor the ad broker have any visibility into the content of the ad, which could even contain code (ads which move or present UI elements have code to make those things work)

If a YouTube ad installs a virus on my system, can I sue YouTube?

Workstations machines get first name type names that are inspired by the brand of the machine. This asus is named adam.

Just never make it lie…

One place I worked we had a rule - do not name a server for any group using it. It seems the groups become territorial when you try to add a different group to “their” server.

T: "Tay" (a mythical creature from Scottish folklore, often described as a small, elf-like being)
U: "Ufi" (a legendary creature from Native American folklore, said to resemble a small humanoid figure)
V: "Vim" (a mythical creature from Hindu mythology, sometimes depicted as a bird-like being)
W: "Wyy" (inspired by the Wyvern, a legendary creature similar to a dragon but with only two legs)
X: "Xin" (a mythical creature from Chinese mythology, often depicted as a lion-like beast)
Y: "Yen" (a legendary creature from Vietnamese folklore, resembling a large, serpent-like creature)
Z: "Ziz" (a mythical creature from Jewish mythology, described as a giant bird)

Not so much servers as removable media. Three letter creature names: ape, bat, cat, dog, elk, fox, gnu, hen, imp, jay, kit, lee (fish), mus, nan (from Inuit folklore), owl, pug, qua, rat, sas (from Slavic folklore) and so on (I need to find my printed list beyond here)

You can check the CPU and memory statistics by looking at the files under /proc, but I was wondering how to get the file system capacity, so I looked at the df(1) code. . coreutils: df.c coreutils: fusage.c macOS: df.c Here is the code prepared to verify the operation of the library. Code to find out what df uses to output · GitHub For Linux On Linux, file system information can be obtained using statvfs(3). Although this is treated as a wrapper for the statfs(2) system call, it is basically recommended to use statvfs(3). (Via google translate)

Indeed - Meet Exciting New Alloy, playing on tour near you soon!

Some SSD drives can do a secure erase via block encryption where the key is stored on the drive itself. There is a command that simply generates a new key - Voilà your drive now contains random bits. I don’t know if newer spinning rust drives have this feature too.

I claim my new rock band name “exciting new alloy”

Does one have to supply the password at each boot with what you are describing - this sounds like the password is somewhere in the partition table. If so what do I google to learn more?

Since the disks are going to a ‘family member’ any porn at all, even the most tame, might get talked about.

Perhaps it should have been a motorboat?

Indeed - it seems that this tracking is done completely outside of the phone, asking the network where, physically, the push notification was delivered (Tower, time, and date) to locate the phone and ostensibly the owner of the phone.

Like any step after you have fallen asleep.

Windows Telemetry at first. Then Windows browbeating various products - “Edge please download Firefox” - Edge: “Why, I am better than Firefox” Me:“Do as I say” Edge: “But -blah blah nah” and so on. I know there are ways around it, but if someone can force an update against my will on my machine, it is not my machine. This leads to questions of what else can they do without my permission. Linux is my machine. I control when and how and what. Also customization.
