Zombie processes are already dead. They aren’t executing, the kernel is just keeping a reference to them so their parent process can check their return code (waitpid).

All processes becomes zombies briefly after they exit, just usually their parents wait on them correctly. If their parents exit without waiting on the child, then the child gets reparented to init, which will wait on it. If the parent stays alive, but doesn’t wait on the child, then it will remain zombied until the parent exits and triggers the reparenting.

Its not really Linux’s fault if processes don’t clean up their children correctly, and I’m 99% sure you can zombie a child on redox given its a POSIX OS.

Toughen up /s

I vaguely recall reading something about some of their departments were not even using the floppy. Like you had to submit with a floppy, but it was never actually written or read from, and you supplied the documents another way. (I could have entirely made this up, don’t quote me)

The DNS risk is not mitigated by a VPN, just shifted.Your VPN has full ability to log your connection if they wish. You have to decide who you trust more. Bear in mind that depending on your location, your ISP may be more legally restricted from snooping on you than a VPN hosted in another country (I know nothing about the US laws, further research would be required).

Also, unless you are using one of the encrypted DNS variants, just changing your DNS provider does nothing, as the ISP or VPN can snoop the unencrypted traffic regardless of its destination.

I don’t hate all public cameras, I live in an area with lots of them, and most are fine enough.

This one in particular irks me because it doesn’t serve a purpose beyond voyeurism. It doesn’t cover the any of the persons property, or any entranceways to their property. Its only for monitoring people in the street. It might be technically a public places, and technically legal for anyone to record, but I really don’t think that makes it a good idea for everyone to just record everything.

I have seen kids running around naked in their front yard just down the road from this camera, so that also raises questions.

I’d prefer if surveillance of public places was left to law enforcement, at least there is a theoretically some form of oversight.

I have cameras. I told my neighbours about them and showed where they were pointed. I blacked out private areas when they were unintentionally picked up. No complaints.

I also walk past a camera that has been placed so that it only records the public footpath. Pisses me off, because its not protecting their house/property, just recording the public.

Get/borrow a thermal camera, and use that to see where the heat is coming in. Some libraries have thermal cameras, but that might be rare. You can also get very cheap and nasty thermal cameras from Aliexpress for $60 AUD

This is the kind of initiative that makes me want to sign up. Don’t care for VPNs in general, but maybe its time to get a proton mail account.

Because English is half a dozen languages wrapped in a trenchcoat? A lot of the law related words are from French derivations AFAIK?

Domain specific language is found across all realms of society, even firefighters have words or phrases with a specific meaning (back-burning, pumper, appliance, etc). So maybe its not that some areas are lazy, its just that you haven’t been exposed to their more technical side?

That’s impressive given we only have 26M people :/

I work in an office, but if I trip and fall 10km to the west, I’ll be right in the middle of the bay! Gonna wear speedos to work from now on to be safe.

I wasn’t afraid of drowning at work before, but now I am :D

In fairness, One Nation voters can’t read, so we can’t expect them to understand anything. And 60% is still a majority. But doesn’t feel good being down with UAE and Nigeria :(

Never heard that term, but its a very obscure concept, so wouldn’t surprise me if it had multiple names. Probably vender specific names?

Seems quite a few people havent heard of it, hence a lot of the split DNS answers :/

I can’t remember exactly what its called, but something like router NAT loopback is what you want. I’ll have a look around. But if you set it right, things should work properly. It might be a router setting.

Yeah, I looked into that, but I seem to be in the google play beta for bitwarden and nothing is broken? Looks like this is a different beta? Bizarre.

Is this a new breakage? I’ve been using vaultwarden + android for years now?

4 cores is a bit limiting, but definitely depends on the usage. I only have 1 VM on my NUC, everything else is docker.

I thought all the core processors had VT* extensions, I was using virtualization on my first gen i7. They are very old an inefficient now though.

I5 3470 is old, but its not that bad. Lots of people are homelabing on NUCs which are only very slightly faster. Performance per Watt will be terrible though. (I am on an i7-10710u, and I’ve yet to run out of steam so far - https://cpu.userbenchmark.com/Compare/Intel-Core-i7-10710U-vs-Intel-Core-i5-3470/m900004vs2771 )

It has VTx/VTd, so should be okay for proxmox, what makes you think it won’t work well?

You have a typo: platform: esphome.

Thanks for posting, good catch!
