Yeah, X11 forwarding is only fine on a campus wide network, maybe city-wide at most, if the wan is fast enough.

Sshfs would also be painful for operations processing a lot of data (grepping gigs of log files or even creating thumbnails of images to browse).

remote access

To be fair, X11 forwarding is a straightforward thing, bearing in mind any security/performance/administrative restrictions which may apply to your situation.

Alternatively, SSHFS can be used to mount a remote directory locally.

Should one sympathise with car-supremacists?

Reader mode exposes a much better headline:

Yet another moment since Labor's re-election where I think "Ooh, Albo's going mask-off!".

Please let's have minority governments, our electoral and political system is ideal for it!

Oh, I agree. I don't think it's a particularly useful reference page -- more of a biased agglomeration on a substrate of preconceived opinion, but the initial pile-on of downvotes without comments felt a bit like the usual Mozilla-fanaticism.

I tend to upvote posts not because I agree with them, but because I'm interested in people's responses to the ideas within them.

So many downvotes..

I'm only about 10% in (and just skimming), and it's a rant but it's coherent and well-reasoned.

Starts off as a dive into Mozilla's rank hypocrisy and doublespeak around privacy.

[showerthoughtsofficial]: When medication says "do not operate heavy machinery" they're probably mainly referring to cars, but my mind always goes to forklift.

[sauntervaguelydownward]: It has honestly never occured to me that this warning was about cars and not construction equipment

 

Meanwhile India's incredible train network suffers continuing decades of neglect resulting in poor performance and tragic rail disasters.

We need a fuckplanes community to complement !fuck_cars@lemmy.ml.

 
 

ActivityPub-enabled microblogs are gaining popularity as a replacement for Twitter, but ActivityPub is for more than just microblogging. Many other popular services also have open-source alternatives that speak ActivityPub. Proprietary services operated by commercial interests usually deliberately limit interoperability, but users of any ActivityPub-enabled service should be able to communicate with each other, even if they are using different services. This promise of interoperability is often limited in practice, though; while ActivityPub specifies how multiple types of content can be published, the kinds of content that can be displayed or interacted with vary from project to project.

 

JAKARTA, Indonesia (AP)—Indonesia’s Parliament unanimously passed a long-expected revision of the country’s penal code on Tuesday that criminalizes sex outside of marriage for citizens as well as foreigners, prohibits promotion of contraception, forbids progressive political thought, and bans defamation of the president and state institutions.

The amended code also expands an existing blasphemy law and maintains a five-year prison term for deviations from the central tenets of Indonesia’s six recognized religions: Islam, Protestantism, Catholicism, Hinduism, Buddhism and Confucianism.

Citizens can face a 10-year prison term for associating with organizations that follow Marxist-Leninist ideology and a four-year sentence for spreading communism. Anti-communism has long been a tenet of the Indonesian state. [...]

Description:

  • Fortune magazine headline "Europe's energy crisis sets its sights on another victim: Car manufacturing" (2022-10-12)
  • Jeremy Clarkson 2-panel "Oh no!", "Anyway." meme.
 

Excellent documentary on farmed and wild-caught fish regarding the effects of pollution, contamination, industrialisation, fraud, corruption, etc.

Focuses mostly on human health issues, but touches on the relevant environmental and other issues too.

TL;DW: Don't consume farmed fish. Don't consume big fish. Eat small fish.

"Mr Rolles was arrested in late June, when he was pulled off the street in Sydney for allegedly blocking roads and obstructing traffic."

Since late June, Greg Rolles must produce on demand his computer and mobile phone for police inspection, and tell them his passwords.

He is not allowed to use any encrypted messaging apps, like Signal or WhatsApp. He can only have one mobile phone. [...]

These are the strict technology-related bail conditions imposed on some Blockade Australia climate protesters — a development legal experts have criticised as "unusual" and "extreme". [...]

Defence lawyer Mark Davis, who is representing some of the Blockade Australia activists, said the vagueness of the prohibition was concerning.

"It used to name the things you couldn't have, and then they made it all encrypted communication," he said.

"It could be you're on your PlayStation."

He also takes issue with the non-association rules, and the lack of specificity about what an "association" might be. Mr Davis said one of his clients had been pulled in by police after they reacted with a "thumbs up" emoji to Facebook comments [...]

 

Victoria’s Department of Education [Australia] is expanding its monitoring of devices’ internal traffic from staff to students' own devices at a number of schools.

The expansion will result in Zscaler SSL root certificates being installed on not only school-provided devices, but students’ personal devices if they connect locally to a school network.

The certificate allows student browser traffic to be decrypted for inspection, while still presenting to the user as if they were protected by HTTPS.
