Hi I’m Tim.

I’m AuDHD - officially diagnosed ADHD and self-diagnosed (for now) with ASD. I also suffer from a great deal of Imposter Syndrome.

  • Trump has had several GOP “rhinos” primaried because they wouldn’t bend the knee.

    • Rusty Bowers: The former Arizona House Speaker was censured by his state party and targeted by Trump after he refused to help overturn the 2020 election results in Arizona.

    • Liz Cheney: As the former chair of the House Republican Conference and a leading critic of Trump, she was a primary target. Trump endorsed Harriet Hageman, who defeated Cheney in the 2022 Wyoming primary election.

    • Doug Ducey: Trump called the former Arizona governor a “RINO” for not engaging with his efforts to challenge the 2020 election outcome in the state.

    • Larry Hogan: Trump has repeatedly labeled the former Maryland governor a “RINO,” though Hogan has remained popular in his state.

    • Brian Kemp: The Governor of Georgia earned Trump’s ire for certifying the 2020 election results in his state. Trump endorsed David Perdue in the Republican primary, but Kemp won re-election.

    • Mitch McConnell: Trump has repeatedly attacked the Senate Minority Leader, though he has not been able to directly replace him.

    • Lisa Murkowski: One of the few remaining senators who voted to convict Trump in his second impeachment trial, Murkowski has faced heat from Trump’s allies and activists, though she was not successfully primaried.

    • Ken Paxton: When the Texas Attorney General faced impeachment charges, Trump defended him and called his Republican opponents “RINOs”.

    • Ben Sasse: The former Nebraska senator was another Republican who voted to convict Trump. Sasse later left the Senate to become president of the University of Florida.

    • Pat Toomey: The former Pennsylvania Senator, who also voted to convict Trump, retired from the Senate at the end of his term.








  • Also, I am not sure what security Podman under Distrobox is making worse. Got an example?

    From the site …

    Security implications

    Isolation and sandboxing are not the main aims of the project, on the contrary it aims to tightly integrate the container with the host. The container will have complete access to your home, pen drive, and so on, so do not expect it to be highly sandboxed like a plain docker/podman container or a Flatpak.

    You are suggesting Flatpaks for security? Um. Ok.

    OP said …

    But the question developed if it would be wise to use distrobox to execute random internet scripts without altering your base OS/putting your data to risk.

    I was suggesting a Flatpak from a supported project over a random package from wherever being run as root on their box, yes.

    And how is calling the entire Freedesktop platform just to run an app better than the much more limited dependencies that Distrobox will pull in? And, if I already use Podman, Flatpak is a lot of extra complexity compared to Distrobox.

    And I just don’t see why I would install another insecure layer that is just going to use Docker/Podman, why not just install Docker/Podman and be done. And for a desktop app installing a Flatpak seems like a better tool than a pod/docker container if you can’t get a native package.




  • When companies have to start funding their own networks because ISPs are all down, or just known to be compromised due to bad actors, it’s going to hit capitalism over the head pretty hard. This is a great way to tank the stock market though if you are betting against “Tech” companies.

    1. Short all Tech stocks
    2. Allow “free market” to regulate itself (because less regulation and capitalism always work so great together)
    3. Make $ hand over fist when market begins to tank because ISPs can’t be trusted to route their traffic because of all exploits

     

    Carr said the vote scheduled for November 20 comes after “extensive FCC engagement with carriers” who have taken “substantial steps… to strengthen their cybersecurity defenses.

    Well if they say their doing it, then surely they are, and not just because the law your trying to change required them to. It’s like when Republicans want to deregulate the banks because they are doing so well not exploiting predator loans and/or over leveraging loans trying to make even more $. Deregulation cannot, and will not, work in a capitalist environment. Regulation is the guard rails required to keep capitalism from cannibalizing itself.
