Why is the US invading Venezuela? in c/nostupidquestions@lemmy.world
[–] aseriesoftubes@lemmy.world 3 points 5 days ago

Some heritage foundation guys whispered it in the emperor's ears

I believe it was Marco Rubio specifically. He believes that toppling Venezuela will lead to a reverse domino effect that somehow magically ends up toppling the Communist regime in Cuba.

Not since at least the Clinton years. The US doesn’t have a mainstream working class party.

Oh no!

Trump says 'it's pretty clear' he can't run for 3rd term in c/politics@lemmy.world
[–] aseriesoftubes@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago (2 children)

I want him to keep threatening to run in ‘28. As long as daddy is saying he’s going to run, the sycophants who want to claim the throne won’t dare to run against him.

The Democratic candidate should be able to walk across the finish line (assuming we still have elections in 2028 and all that).

I’m interested in the community notes, not the main post, which I can already see.

It would be helpful to paste the contents of the post (edit: I mean the post linked in the community note) here so that fewer people have to give that wretched site page views.

Believe it or not, this has something to do with China trade policy. He’s rambled before about China controlling rare earth magnets. I believe magnets were specifically called out in the first China trade ”deal.”

Someone has clearly told this doddering old fool that China produces most of the world’s rare earth magnets, and being stupid, he drew the conclusion that magnets = China = bad.

Stop this ride, I want to get off.

I hear that the best way to win a Nobel Peace Prize is by authorizing a bunch of extrajudicial killings.

Credit card and email address leaked online. Charges cancelled, card replaced. What else do I need to do? (lemmy.world)
 

I use an email alias system to create a unique email address every time I sign up for a site.

Today, I started receiving unusual email on one of those addresses. My credit card provider also let me know that someone was trying to use my credit card to book airfare. I know exactly which site my data leaked from since I used a unique email alias to register for that site. I contacted that site and told them they've been breached.

I also called my credit card company. They're reversing the charge and issuing me a new card.

I'm still worried because I'm receiving lots of "here's your login code" and "new user registration" emails at the alias address. I can just kill the alias and I won't receive these messages again, but I'm interested in seeing what they're up to. Can these messages still be used for nefarious purposes? I obviously don't click links in any emails I don't recognize, and access to my main email account is secured behind three-factor authentication, so I don't see how someone would actually be able to retrieve one of these login codes.

Since the genius who used my credit card number tried to book a flight, I also have her name and a 50-50 shot at her location. Should I report her to local authorities?

I'm in the US.

Why shouldn't I use this motherboard to build a router? (lemmy.world)
 

This Topton-brand mini-ITX motherboard on AliExpress seems like a pretty decent choice for an Opnsense/Pfsense-based home router setup. It has four Intel 2.5gbe ports, an integrated 10W TDP CPU, and way more storage options than necessary for my use case.

However, I’m leery of just about everything from AliExpress. In this case, I assume security is probably a distant consideration after function and price point.

Am I being overly paranoid? Are products like this riddled with back doors and other exploitable components? Has anyone else out there built a router using this board?

Changing permissions for /var/lib/docker (lemmy.world)
 

Is it a bad idea to recursively change the permissions for the /var/lib/docker directory? That directory is owned by root:root and the permissions are rwx--x---.

I'm hoping to be able to access my named volumes without using sudo so that I can easily back them up.
