I was initially suspicious after just reading the headline. But after reading the article, I am… slightly less suspicious.

She isn’t an heiress in the sense that most people would think of the term. That is, she wasn’t born into the family and has never been involved with the “family business.” Rather, she married a Walton heir who died, and she inherited her wealth from him.

All I’m saying is that, wealth and surname not withstanding, she could be a decent person with decent motives.

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.

“Who is the first buyer?” one of the reporters asked.

“Me,” Trump quipped. 

“The second?” the reporter pushed on. 

“I don’t know, but I’m the first buyer. It’ll be out in ... less than two weeks. Pretty exciting, right?” the president asked.

First of all, why would he be the first buyer of an express residency card when he’s already a citizen? Fucking moron.

Second, “it’s happening in two weeks” is Trumpspeak for “it’s literally never going to happen.”

This is completely fucking shocking. I hope all the Uncommitted folks are proud of themselves.

As a Washingtonian, I’m so fucking sold.

Maureen Dowd of the failing New York Times, wrote incorrectly that I was making the calls. WRONG!!! I don’t have to make calls to go on TV, or anything else — They call me!

Got it. So he absolutely, 100% without a doubt called them first.

Vance has frequently positioned himself as anti-elite, writing in Hillbilly Elegy: “Sometimes I view members of the elite with an almost primal scorn.” In an April post on X, Vance, who graduated Yale Law School in 2013

Lovely juxtaposition.

… Donald Trump posted on his social media platform in all caps that "I DON'T EVEN KNOW WHAT THE CHARGES ARE IN THIS RIGGED CASE."

"I AM ENTITLED TO SPECIFICITY JUST LIKE ANYONE ELSE," he wrote.

Maybe you should have stayed awake instead of farting yourself to sleep every day.

The post comes after Trump watched Judge Merchan spend over an hour instructing the jury on the law and specific charges in the case…

But Biden’s brain is the one we should be worried about. 🙄

No explanation other than Elon is a thin-skinned little bitch baby who’s carrying water for fascists.

Aww, did the “fuck your feelings” crowd get their little feelings hurt? Who are the snowflakes again?

The stock market isn’t the economy, at least as most Americans experience it, though it is the same metric that Trump and his followers used to show how “strong” the economy was during his term.

If I had a nickel for every time some Trump apologist said “sure, Trump’s a jerk, but how’s your 401(k)?” during 2017-2021, I’d have… a lot of nickels.

Someone is trying really hard to hurt Lemmy by continually attacking the most popular instance. Is this all coming from right-wingers upset that their nazi instances were defederated across basically the whole fediverse?

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?

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.
