@hal_pomeranz@cult yes yes of course but this has never been added to CUPS in the decades it has existed. That's all I was trying to say. We don't have that option *today*, someone's gonna need to patch it in
@dev well it is, but it's the US government that's corrupt and causing them the most harm by weaponizing the dollar against them to extract cheap labor via massively imbalanced trade because we point our military at any country that wants to try to buy oil from OPEC with a currency that is not the US Dollar, so they need to acquire dollars to buy the oil they need to survive and the only way they get the dollars is through trade and the only way they can do a LOT of trade with the USA to get the most dollars is to let their labor be exploited so they can sell to Americans at the cheapest possible price.
- huge layoffs in tech as billions of dollars will vapor - a lot of companies will go bankrupt - recession in US and everywhere else
But these are all net positives?????? We need a massive vaporization of money and a complete reset to sanity on the values of commodities, real estate, etc. Even if someone could promise that inflation is over and we could stabilize where we are *today* it doesn't change the fact that the housing market will still collapse because insurance companies cannot afford to insure properties at the current prices of labor and materials. You just can't take someone's house that was worth only $250k a couple years ago and pay out $700k to replace it when the next massive storm comes through. You gotta raise the rates or refuse to insure. They raise the rates, tons of people have to sell because they need insurance as obligated by their mortgage. Nobody else is gonna buy it in this scenario, so the bank has to deal with massive losses. Their LTV is all out of whack. Entire banks will go under from this.
Not just from this, but from commercial real estate too.
@cult how do you bind to :631 as non-root? CUPS itself would need to drop privs but it doesn't have that capability. It's completely missing from cupsd.conf
I could work around it and allow cupsd to bind to :631 as non-root on FreeBSD pretty easily, but that's a much harder problem on Linux these days. Linux's option for this (CAP_NET_BIND_SERVICE) requires you to bless a *binary* to bind on reserved ports, not a user or group.
If you want to do it with a user or group you have to wrap the command with something like authbind which is not a transparent change at all
@pete_wright multiple things going on, but the most interesting is that any printer using foomatic (old stuff) essentially has a crazy "driver" implementation where it can (and needs to) send through arbitrary commands to do things, like using perl and stuff
someone did the math and decided that pissing off tech folks isn't gonna be too big of a deal, because too many corporations and non-technical folks won't have the ability to flee WordPress for something else
@toyotabedzrock charter school FRAUD? Who would have guessed that the push for vouchers and other government aid to get kids out of public schools was anything more than a giant grift to scam the government and vacuum up tax dollars away from impoverished communities?
@pmevzek I'd like to see us evolve above the need of ICANN but we're talking about fracturing the internet and creating a whole new "web" with a completely different namespace and authority which is not gonna gain traction quickly
but it could be a huge benefit to people who want to self-host services and break free from the current corporatized web that's trying to strangle to death any signs of innovation
This has always been misleading. A single block can have thousands of transactions. It's averaging about 4500 transactions per block lately.
You have to remember Bitcoin is a settlement layer. It's final. Money truly exchanged hands. Not so with VISA; there are still multiple days before the banks settle all the transactions. So it would be better to compare VISA to a layer on top of Bitcoin like Lightning, which theoretically can do millions per second.
edit: just gonna delete this because i don't want to argue about it with strangers which is what is bound to happen
> Leaked documents show that the secretary of state received two explosive reports on Israel blocking aid to Gaza—right before he told Congress the exact opposite.
> In a statement to Congress on May 10, Blinken said, “We do not currently assess that the Israeli government is prohibiting or otherwise restricting the transport or delivery of U.S. humanitarian assistance.”
> Before his statement to Congress, Blinken received a 17-page memo from USAID on Israel’s conduct, obtained by ProPublica, which described instances of Israel killing aid workers, bombing hospitals and ambulances, tearing down agricultural structures, regularly turning away trucks of food and medicine, and sitting on supply depots.
Is it a lie? "We do not currently assess" could have been an accurate statement if those documents had not yet been formally processed by the right people in the right departments yet. It's slimy and misleading but it could be technically true.
@pmevzek is it still ~$15,000 quarterly to service them?
And does this mean we can blame ICANN for causing our domain prices to keep increasing? I just got an email that all the new TLDs are cranking up in price again
like WTF is ICANN even doing with this money???????
