Happy Feast Day of St. Josemaria Escriva!

"Christian optimism is not a sugary optimism, nor is it a mere human confidence that everything will turn out all right. It is an optimism that sinks its roots into an awareness of our freedom, and the sure knowledge of the power of grace. It is an optimism that leads us to make demands on ourselves, to struggle to respond at every moment to God's call."

— St. Josemaria Escriva

What if... What if it's an inside job?

cough

An executive coordinates with a threat actor to hit right before the earnings call.

riiiiiiip

But they only get initial access and a basic neutered payload.

exhale

Then the stock price goes down and the company and shareholders can buy them up cheap.

long sigh

Then the executive pays the TA and the security team magically contains the incident with no real impact.

US economy contracted at an annual rate of 0.5% during the first quarter of 2025, according to the final GDP report from the Commerce Department. Meanwhile, consumer spending fell to its lowest level since the pandemic ended.

Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell testified that businesses stockpiling inventory before tariffs took effect has helped delay any inflationary impacts.

Accidentally wrote an ISO to an encrypted 5TB drive… Help?

So, I did a thing - accidentally selected my 5TB external NTFS hard drive (encrypted with VeraCrypt) as the target for writing an ISO. The moment I noticed that "Impression" had switched the drive letter, I immediately killed the process. But yeah… damage done.

Now, the situation:
- Currently shows up as:
- 6 MB FAT
- 4.3 GB
- 2 TB unallocated
- 2.6TB unallocated
- The VeraCrypt volume obviously no longer mounts.
- Drive was somewhat crucial - lots of structured data I’d really prefer to recover with the original file system intact.

I know chances are slim, especially with encrypted volumes, but has anyone had luck recovering from something like this? I’m open to commercial recovery tools or command-line wizardry. Would love to hear from anyone who’s been down this road.

Any thoughts or recommendations?

Any computer-touchers looking for a job? The Cambridge Computer Lab is looking for a mostly Linux sysadmin. Great place to work, I still pop in sometimes, but don’t let that put you off!

EDIT: I believe this requires the ability to be physically in Cambridge (UK) at least some of the time. I am not sure if they can sponsor visas for this job, but they often can.

Second edit: Apparently I was tired when I posted this and completely failed to include the link to the job. Ooops!

Third edit: I am not involved in hiring for this job. My current affiliation with the institution in question is 'Visiting Researcher'. This means that they keep a desk that I can use (when no one else is using it) and I periodically turn up and hang out with people there. I cannot answer questions related to the job other than to say that it's working with a group of people I choose to visit when I can. There is an email address in the job ad for questions.

A MicroNation Community

I'm just asking if there's a Lemmy/Mbin/PieFed community (or any federated community/forum) that's dedicated to MicroNations here ?

(The Youtube link is just for knowledge purposes

I was also adviced that this was the appropriate community to post this)

Actually, I have been a parliamentarian in my past. Serving as "Advocate" in a Knights of Columbus Council, part of my duty was to be familiar with Roberts Rules of Order, and to advise the Grand Knight on how best to conduct a business meeting, how to deal with disputes should they arise, etc. kofc.org/en/get-involved/colle…

Considering switching from Windows 11 and I have some questions

Considering switching to Linux, but I have many questions.

  1. Gaming - I enjoy gaming and want a Distro that will let me play most games. I have read that keeping nVidia drivers up to date can be (was?) a problem. I currently use steam for 99% of my gaming, I’m aware steam is porting a lot for SteamOS, but what are the limitations of this? Will I have to wait for a port before I can play a new game? Are there stability issues?
  2. I’ve developed a lot of pretty basic macros for excel in Visual Basic, I’m not a programmer by any means, but I can write some algorithms to do QoL coding. Is making the switch to open office seamless? Will my .xlsx docs incur formatting issues? Will my macros translate to whatever editor is used in open office? Does open office use the same codes for cell functions? Are there statistic package add-ons like with excel? Essentially, I’m asking how much work is ahead of me if I make this switch?
  3. I do enjoy the old version of outlook and work with many people who use outlook calendars for scheduling. Is there a similar program that will work with the same functionality on their end? (E.g. a mail client that will allow me to accept calendar invites from others and confirm it on both ends?).
  4. I am familiar with Visual Studio and use it as my IDE for very basic programming (I like to tinker with automating certain tasks in games, again by no means a programmer). Is there an equivalent FOSS version that would have a low learning curve coming from Microsoft’s IDE?

OpenOffice has seen essentially no development since 2011, when the trademark got transferred to Oracle after they bought Sun Microsystems.

The project got forked into LibreOffice to dodge the trademark issue, but it's the same devs, practically the same project, but now under a non-profit organization. Well, and with 14 more years of development.

So, use LibreOffice instead of OpenOffice. It will most likely come pre-installed on whichever Linux distro you go with. But you can also try it out on Windows beforehand, if you have concerns.

To me it looks you are pretty deep in MS ecosystem. The easiest to switch to Linux are developers because development on Windows sucks and casual users because they depend only on their web browser. Since you are both a gamer and deep in MS office suite it will be very hard because its completley different ecosystem.

My proposal: recreate your environment in VM and switch on linux host with that same setup. And then try get step by step over a year outside of that VM.
