There are about 8x10^67 ways to shuffle a deck of cards, and about 10^80 atoms in the observable universe, so there are actually far, far more atoms.

It seems to me that Syncthing is the exact right thing to use here; what is “overkill” about it that makes you think you should use something else?

boatswain@infosec.pubto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•Dear Americans, how do you go back to normal after such an election campaign?4·8 months agoI don’t remember who said it first, but I’ve linked it before: there’s no paradox if tolerance is a social contact rather than an ethic. If someone breaks the terms of the contact, then the other party is not bound by it any more.
boatswain@infosec.pubto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•Dear Americans, how do you go back to normal after such an election campaign?2·8 months agoI get where you’re coming from. Unfortunately, it’s not really that simple. Sometimes a relationship is so toxic that there’s no way to restore the basic trust that’s needed in order to function as a unit. This is no different. Pre-Trump, we might have been able to talk and salvage things; at this point, they’re just as broken as a relationship full of cheating and domestic abuse. My fear is that the only way forward is breakup (ie civil war) or some other equally deep trauma.
boatswain@infosec.pubto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What's something about the fediverse you know but most people seem not to?35·8 months agoIf you’re having problems with a lot of people you like being blocked by your server, it’s probably a good sign that you should change your server. That’s kind of the point of being able to do that.
boatswain@infosec.pubto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What technology purchase felt like a major upgrade in your life?4·9 months agoFirst time I ever saw in-car GPS was arrive 2003 when I was hitchhiking in Japan. Heading the car just give directions was mind-blowing; it was like being in a William Gibson novel.

boatswain@infosec.pubto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•Is there a word for mangled idiom that becomes commonplace4·9 months agoIf you haven’t, you might want to read Patrick O’Brien’s Aubrey/Maturin series, or at least to peruse this list from Reddit: https://www.reddit.com/r/AubreyMaturinSeries/comments/4ak12q/which_its_a_prodigious_great_list_of_aubreys/
boatswain@infosec.pubto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What opinions do you have that you consider (shallow && pedantic)?7·1 year agoAlong with that, I’ll add in “number” vs “amount”:
- A shocking number of people get this wrong (countable)
- The amount of confusion about it is distressing (aggregate)
The tl;dr from the article (which is actually worth a read):
The very short version: Unix PIDs do start at 0! PID 0 just isn’t shown to userspace through traditional APIs. PID 0 starts the kernel, then retires to a quiet life of helping a bit with process scheduling and power management. Also the entire web is mostly wrong about PID 0, because of one sentence on Wikipedia from 16 years ago.
boatswain@infosec.pubto Linux@lemmy.ml•How can I easily and conveniently transfer files wirelessly between my linux computer and android phone?4·1 year agoI love Localsend because it’s gloriously simple: Does exactly what you want, and nothing more. I haven’t used KDE Contact; what else does it add in?
boatswain@infosec.pubto Linux@lemmy.ml•What’s the best ad blocker for you? - Firefox Add-ons Blog2·1 year agoIf XSS is your concern, check out Firefox’s Container Tabs. They allow you to set up tab groups that restrict access to cookies to only tabs in that group, so you can just, eg, set up a group for your bank and restrict it to just your bank’s site. Your session cookie etc are then not available to any other tab groups.
I pair that with the Temporary Containers extension, so any random tab I open is in its own container. Everything is always separate.
boatswain@infosec.pubto Open Source@lemmy.ml•What open-source software would you like more people to know about?2·1 year agoJust picked this up based on the up votes here, and I’m already a fan. Seems like it does what you want and nothing else, which is perfect.
Mint is super comfy. Garuda is cool. Pop_OS! is as annoying to use as it is to type.
boatswain@infosec.pubto Linux@lemmy.ml•Use work laptop as personal device by dual booting on a separate internal drive?6·1 year agoOn top of all that, most hitting contacts I’ve seen contain language saying that if you use company resources to make a thing, that thing, the company owns that thing. Seems likely that in addition to firing they could compel you to turn over the drive and wipe it.
Actually, Garuda Linux is really easy to use
I agree; that’s what I use on my main PC. Not sure what that has to do with Kali though.
People don’t seriously try to use Kali as a daily driver, do they? That’s just a meme, right? Right?
We’re right there with y’all.
