Reminder: virtually everyone will end up with a disability at some point in your life. Unless you die young and suddenly. You are going to be disabled, you might call it old age. You might call it losing your mobility, or your sight deteriorating, or your hearing. But as we get older, disability comes for us all. Accessibility matters.

"Since 2018, carbon emissions from data centers in the US have tripled. For the 12 months ending August 2024, data centers were responsible for 105 million metric tons of CO2, accounting for 2.18% of national emissions (for comparison, domestic commercial airlines are responsible for about 131 million metric tons). About 4.59% of all the energy used in the US goes toward data centers, a figure thatā€™s doubled since 2018."

VerbraucherschĆ¼tzer kritisieren PayPals unsicheren Gastzahlungprozess

Der WDR berichtet von einer Warnung der Verbraucherzentrale Nordrhein-Westfalen vor unberechtigten Abbuchungen vom eigenen Konto durch PayPal. Genutzt wird dabei der sogenannte Gastzahlungsprozess bei PayPal.

WDR.de beschreibt den Vorgang so: "Diese Funktion erlaubt es Nutzern, ohne ein eigenes PayPal-Konto (und ohne die damit verbundene Verifizierung) Zahlungen auszufĆ¼hren. Stattdessen geben sie lediglich eine IBAN an, und der Betrag wird per Lastschrift vom Bankkonto abgebucht."

Dabei wird weder eine TAN-Nummer wie frĆ¼her Ć¼blich, noch wird die aktuell Ć¼bliche Zwei-Faktor-Authentifizierung benƶtigt. Warum diese eigentlich mindestens notwendige Sicherheitsfeatures nicht eingesetzt werden, muss man sich ernsthaft fragen. Dies wƤre umso mehr notwendig, wenn es sich um einen praktisch "anonymen Gastzugang" handelt.

Die GeschƤdigten merken die unberechtigten Abbuchungen nur, wenn sie ihre KontoauszĆ¼ge regelmƤƟig kontrollieren. Es ist also wichtig, dass man Ɯberweisungsbelege mit der eigenen IBAN nicht irgendwo wegwirft, wo Fremde darauf Zugriff bekommen kƶnnen. Genauso wenig sollte man die eigene IBAN nicht auf irgendwelchen Webseiten hinterlassen und nicht Pishings-Mails damit beantworten.

VerbraucherschĆ¼tzern machen fĆ¼r solche BetrugsvorgƤnge die unzureichenden Sicherheitsvorkehrungen bei PayPal verantwortlich. Was sollte man machen, wenn es passiert ist?
  • Sofort die eigenen Bank informieren und den Berag zurĆ¼ckbuchen lassen,
  • PayPal Ć¼ber den Vorgang informieren (mehr oder wenig freundlich!),
  • bei der Polizei Anzeige gegen Unbekannt erstatten,
  • nicht vergessen, regelmƤƟig die eigenen KontoauszĆ¼ge nach unberechtigten Abbuchen kontrollieren.
AbschlieƟend bleibt natĆ¼rlich die Forderung an PayPal ZahlungsvorgƤnge durch eine SicherheitsprĆ¼fung (SMS, TAN, Zwei-Faktor-Authentifizierung) abzusichern.

Winterschlaf?

If you were an emperor and were going to die soon and needed an heir, what steps would you take to help further assure you that the heir you were about to choose took things in the intended direction?

This was always an issue in Rome. People were afraid their heirs would turn out to secretly be wannabe dictators, and you couldn't do anything about it since you were dead. How would you go about making sure your heir was as close to your vision as possible, both outwardly and in their desires should they be emperor?
2 people don't like this
In ancient Rome, the sitting emperor often would choose a successor from, well anybody really, often not even a relation. They then adopted that person. If one has to have hereditary rulers, this seems a fairly sensible way to go about it.
I would probably keep my nephew in my summer palace after murdering his dad for being too popular and then killing the rest of our family around him. Caligula turned out well, although to be fair I only read up to his first year as Emperor...

16.12.2024 Polizeiroboter im Einsatz


China testet sehr beweglichen Hilfspolizisten

In den nebenstehend abgebildeten GehƤusen stecken noch Menschen, doch in China wurden bereits Polizeistreifen beobachtet, die von einem Kugelroboter begleitet werden. Dieser soll 160 Kilogramm schwer sein und besitzt einen Durchmesser von 0,8 Metern. Er/sie oder es kann in 2,5 Sekunden auf 30km/h beschleunigen und kann auf kurzen Distanzen dank einer im Innern beweglichen Pendelmasse sehr schnell die Richtung Ƥndern.

Das GerƤt ist mit Wurfnetzen bewaffnet, um flĆ¼chtende Personen aufzuhalten. Ob zu seiner "polizeilichen AusrĆ¼stung" auch andere Waffen gehƶren, ist nicht bekannt. Wie die Teflon Bratpfanne soll er/sie/es ein Abfallprodukt der Weltraumforschung sein und eigentlich als Roboterfahrzeug fĆ¼r den Planeten Merkur entwickelt worden sein. Damit kommt seine Temperaturfestigkeit ja dem erwarteten Klimawandel sehr entgegen ...

Ansonsten kann er klaglos bis zu 10 Stunden ununterbrochen arbeiten und dabei bis zu 120 Kilometer zurĆ¼cklegen. Durch seine Kugelform gibt es nur wenig Reibungsverluste bei seiner Bewegung und auch Feuchtigkeit beeintrƤchtigt die Funktion nicht. Ein Bild zeigt der verlinkte Artikel.

Questions about mbin and insterstellar

I recently made an mbin account bc I like the idea of one account that does both threads and microblogs (only want microblog for a couple mastodon people, don't want to need multiple accounts). So far I'm finding the setup of mbin in general a little confusing, and I can't join their matrix for some reason.

I also want to know if there is any way to show the entire picture on threads in interstellar, as it currently shows the middle third, and I'd rather see the whole image while scrolling. I know the app is capable of it since it does that on microblogs. Also, are there any mbin apps (preferably for Android) other than interstellar?
catloaf doesn't like this.
BTW, Mbin does federate with Lemmy right ?
I want to get people to use Mbin, because we can't let Lemmy do all the heavy-lifting riiiiight
Yeah, interacting with Lemmy content is pretty much the same as it is here

Help to troubleshoot...Freeze before desktop

Hi guys! I have KDE Neon 6.2.3 running on my Surface Pro 7+, and up until now it's been running rather smoothly, for years. But today I seem to be unable to fully boot anymore on normal mode.
Linux will get stuck on the KDE spinning gear, with the gear frozen. And it becomes unresponsive, to open alternative consoles with control+alt+Fx, or even control+alt+del. The only thing that works is a force shutdown by holding the power button.

I tried with a previous kernel, with the same results (current is linux-image-6.10.10-surface-1, I have a generic 6.8.0-49, but it also freezes). I can boot in safe mode. It opens a different login screen, and after a failed attempt of opening lxde, it fails back to my usual KDE session, in safe graphics mode.

What can I test? How can I see what failed at boot?
This entry was edited (3 weeks ago)
Thanks. I pulled the journalctl. This is...A bit extensive.
EDIT: Well seems I only can see the KDE logo and a frozen gear, but according to systemctl the system is up and running, and the network connected? After 7 seconds frozen I give up once more and hold power button, since this is the only thing it seems to react to, and yet, even this gets logged onto journalctl.

All I can see in that is that your machine has an LTE SIM slot and that the LTE Modem isn't supported. That shouldn't stop you from booting.
Yeah...It looks to me like it just says it went alright, right until I hit the poweroff button, because it's actually completely crashed.

Just an update. Today I made a rescuezilla full backup of the whole drive, and then wiped and installed KDE Neon brand new from Dec 1st release from their page. Guess what...that one ALSO fails to boot.

If a clean install also fails then I would start considering hardware fault.
You could always check if you can boot Fedora Workstation with GNOME just in case but I think you should start looking for a replacement PC.
You can use the -b flag to get a specific boot sequence:
https://www.howtogeek.com/499623/how-to-use-journalctl-to-read-linux-system-logs/#reviewing-boot-messages

Sometimes it can help to filter by UID 1000:
https://www.howtogeek.com/499623/how-to-use-journalctl-to-read-linux-system-logs/#selecting-log-messages-by-data-fields

Other than that you can try to filter by KDE services, but as I run GNOME I'm not very familiar with their names. In the KDE forum a developer recommends using this for another problem:
journalctl --user-unit=plasma-plasmashell.service --boot 0 --no-pager
https://discuss.kde.org/t/black-screen-after-login-how-to-troubleshoot-plasma-desktop/1615/4
You need to specify the -b switch or you're just looking at logs for the current session. Something like journalctl -xe -b 1 should do the trick.
Just an update. Today I made a rescuezilla full backup of the whole drive, and then wiped and installed KDE Neon brand new from Dec 1st release from their page. Guess what...that one ALSO fails to boot.
OK so just to confirm: you get a boot freeze even on a fresh install before you restore a backup?

Are you able to boot a liveusb?

I would try another distro just to rule out a software problem but it sounds like hardware failure. I would test your ram, graphics card, and storage medium. Do you have an SSD or an HDD?
This entry was edited (3 weeks ago)
Oh, and before trying fixes - make a backup of your precious files when booted in safe mode.
About that - IĀ“d like to run a backup that takes all apps and their configuration files (more than my own docs and files, which I already have properly backed in Seafile). What would you recommend just for the apps, their configs (and maybe the repos) etc?
I think you're gonna find that a hard task. There isn't one universal directory where apps saves their configs and bin files. You'll find some in ~/.config
