As President Donald Trump’s “big, beautiful bill” moves toward a final vote in the House, conservative budget hawks are livid that it largely fails to offer spending cuts to their satisfaction, marking the latest in a long line of punts for the House GOP that has repeatedly vowed to address the national debt.

Quotes

  • Otto Kuusinen: As long as the working class wages only an economic struggle, the bourgeoisie does not see in that any great danger for itself; but when the working class organises politically, i.e., creates a political party which expresses its will as a class, the bourgeoisie begins seriously to fear for its rule. That is why reaction deals its main blows against the political party of the working class. At the same time, trying to undermine the party from within, capitalist propaganda endeavours to persuade the workers that they can do without their own party. One of the manifestations of bourgeois influence on the working class is the anarchist and anarcho-syndicalist denial of the leading role of a political party.

Full Disk Encryption on SSD (Debian)


Hi everyone,

as my thread from yesterday about shredding SSD's the right way already was very helpful, another follow-up topic came to my mind, which may also be interesting for me and maybe others too.

Since many PC's often use SSD's and less harddrives nowadays it may be interesting to discuss the full-disk encryption of it.

First of all some questions, which came to my mind:
- Does the encryption of a SSD decrease its performance (read/write-speed) significantly?
- How does the encryption affect the wear-leveling of the SSD and what should be considered to ensure a safe encryption?
- Will functionalities like hibernation still work? Are maybe other functionalities affected in a negative way?

I already successfully full-disk encrypted my old laptop (harddrive) with the instructions from StackExchange.
My computer has a 1TB SSD + 1TB harddrive and I wish to encrypt completely everything, that's not technically necessary. I want to use Debian as my distro.
Could this instruction work the same way as with harddrives?

I'm interested in your knowledge about this.

As far as I understand it with LUKS1 the whole partition is filled with random looking data and when something changes it does so at random points which doesn't let you see how much data really changed or how much is actually useful data.

But my knowledge is really really spotty, so I might have understood something incorrectly.

Le passage à l’ère numérique, malgré tous ses avantages, a profondément modifié la sollicitation de notre mémoire au quotidien. Loin de moi l’idée de juger les nouvelles technologies qui, comme toutes les grandes évolutions de notre société, nécessitent un temps d’adaptation et doivent être utilisées à bon escient, mais force est de constater que, dans de nombreux domaines, la mémoire numérique s’est substituée à la mémoire humaine

Something to experiment with and see for yourself if you ever have the time


There's a certain controversial user on here (am I allowed to mention her name) who mentions she uses a Wii U as her main console, and that the internet on Wii U's is weird, and that it turns out that not only is lemm.ee the only Lemmy instance that works on the Wii U, but the way it works on there is so unfitting in just the right way that it causes posts and bans to half-federate like they're in a zombified state of existence. I tried a Wii U and could confirm every part of this I experimented with.

don't like this

Bomb the fuck out of 'em, starting with Netanyahu's house. Move on to the hospitals next, and make sure that only women and children are targeted first.

An eye for an eye. It's in the Bible. And Israel set the precendent. Everyone that's killed an innocent Palestinian child needs to have their house razed, and the houses of their parents and siblings. Fuck it, arrest the entire fucking family and throw them in solitary confinement for the next 10 years and let's not tell anyone either while we're at it. And that's after they've been raped and tortured.

On October 10, 2008, Goldman Sachs’ stock closed at $88.80, down 29% from where Buffett made his Goldman investment just two weeks prior. Moreover, those options Berkshire sold on the four global stock indices, made a few years earlier were going against Berkshire as global stocks cratered.

Everyone needed a bailout, including Berkshire.

L. Feuchtwanger: It is manifestly irksome to Stalin to be worshiped as he is, and from time to time he makes fun of it... Of all the men I know who have power, Stalin is the most unpretentious. I spoke frankly to him about the vulgar and excessive cult made of him, and he replied with equal candor... He thinks it is possible even that 'wreckers' may be behind it in an attempt to discredit him. wordsmith.social/protestation/…

Karl Marx’s Legacy in the United States

Alle reden darüber, dass Frauen raus aus der Teilzeit sollen, mehr arbeiten, mehr in die Sozialkassen einzahlen. Die armen Frauen würden daran gehindert zu arbeiten, weil sie Kinder haben.


Was aber, wenn diese Frauen gar nicht MEHR arbeiten wollen? Wenn sie sich gern um ihre Kinder kümmern? Und das eine ebenso große (wenn nicht größere) Leistung ist, wie morgens ins Büro zu fahren? Und unser System das gar nicht anerkennt, sondern einfach mehr Steuer- und Abgabensklaven sucht?

A 93-year-old disabled pensioner was sprayed in the face with pepper spray before being shot by a Taser and hit with a baton by police officers, a court has heard.

Donald Burgess was assaulted by PC Stephen Smith and PC Rachel Comotto after officers responded to a call at his care home in St Leonards-on-Sea, East Sussex, on 21 June 2022.

The elderly man had one leg and was sitting the entire time, he was taken to hospital after the horrific incident and died 3 weeks later!

'I'm surprised by how good this deal is.'

Former Labour Adviser Mike Buckley explains how Keir Starmer's Brexit deal is good for Britain.

The 'deal', gives away our sovereign fishing rights, control of our armed forces, intelligence services, nuclear deterrent, Police service, and defense industry to the EU.

we're talking about the same government that has been putting literal roach poison in the tap water for decades, says stuff like glyphosate and aspartame and other toxic chemicals are safe, and recommends people eat refined starch and seed oils, and is spraying us with chemtrails.

please have your head examined if you think these same people should be making recommendations about what substances should be injected into your children

Alexander Trachtenberg: To the reformist leaders May Day was only an international labor holiday, a day of pageants and games in the parks or outlying country. That the resolution of the Zurich Congress demanded that May Day should be a 'demonstration of the determined will of the before the war. They did everything to discourage and thwart joint international action of the proletariat, and decisions of international congresses which did not conform with their ideas remained mere paper resolutions. Twenty years later the 'socialism' and 'internationalism' of these reformist leaders stood exposed in all their nakedness. wordsmith.social/protestation/…
