Thousands of South Dakotans have been publicly labeled as applicants for government assistance and thousands more have had their email address and phone number exposed, due to a new state law and the way the state’s election office is implementing it.

Although the legislation creating the law received some Democratic votes, it’s a product of the Republican-dominated Legislature. Republican Gov. Larry Rhoden signed it into law and Republican Secretary of State Monae Johnson is carrying out its provisions.

Several legislators, both Democrats and Republicans, are now telling South Dakota Searchlight they did not intend for the law to expose sensitive information — especially the identity of public assistance applicants.

“This is what happens when you put the wrong people in charge,” said state House Minority Leader Erin Healy, D-Sioux Falls, who voted against the bill. “We talk a lot about freedom and privacy in this state, so it’s a shame that this legislation led to this type of breach.”

Dozens and perhaps hundreds of individuals who applied to visit inmates at Everglades Correctional Institution (ECI) in Miami-Dade County last weekend had their personal contact information shared with every inmate at that facility, according to five different individuals who have spoken to the Phoenix over the past four days.

The Florida Department of Corrections has not commented publicly about the incident since it occurred last week.

That data breach has frightened and infuriated some of the women who had their names, email addresses, and telephone numbers released to those incarcerated at the prison located near the Florida Everglades.

Inmates received that information via an email sent out by a staff member of the facility on Thursday. Florida inmates have access to emails through both interactive kiosks as well as secure tablets.

“It’s kind of disturbing when you think about it,” said Madeline Donate, who regularly visits her husband at the prison. “The privacy aspect of this is concerning. This is how other inmates get information and can sometimes extort family members and things like that. It’s concerning.”

Jan Thompson said she fears extortion.

“What if there’s some inmate that doesn’t like another inmate?” she said. “And he tells his family, ‘Okay, here’s his wife’s phone number. Call her and tell her if she doesn’t pay and put $500 on my book, I’m going to have her husband stabbed and killed.’ What’s stopping them from doing that?”

(Inmates can receive funds for deposit into their “inmate trust accounts” from individuals already identified on the inmate’s automated visiting record).

“I’m very worried. This is not okay,” added a woman who wanted to be identified only as Dakota, her middle name. “Someone needs to be held accountable for this. They need to take the necessary precautions to ensure that this does not happen. And what about this information that’s out there? There’s what, 1,600 [inmates] there? They all have information. God knows what they could do with it.”

Piracy in Germany often uses direct downloads via one click hosters(you get an url and download from there, people use services like rapidgator.net). These often get hit with copy right strikes and are slow to unusable for free users. Would downloading for example a TV show via this route and then creating a public torrent "good piracy"? (If anyone has a guide on how to create a torrent, pls share)

Reasons why I think it might be not so good:

• the groups/people need a motivation to provide the content. Distributing it without their consent might reduce their motivation. They also probably paid for some subscription to get the content
• in german context direct download links are often considered safer for people who just want to download, torrenting done wrong can get you pretty high legal fees (500+ €)
• it feels like stealing somebody elses effort

Why I think about doing it:

• this gives people another way to get the content
• torrents are free to use and way faster than those one click hosters (which often give you less than 100kB/s)
• the uploader usually profits via affiliate programs, so when someone buys a premium subscription of a one click hoster, they get a share. I think piracy shouldnt be done for profit
• people (especially outside germany) might have it easier to access torrents instead oneclick hoster solutions
• torrents have no captchas lol

I don't usually post, but thought I'd share.

I rebuilt my homelab with OpenTofu. Now my entire setup, from containers to networking, lives in a Git repo.

The best part is that new services get published automatically. I just set a flag in the code, and it builds the Caddy proxy or Cloudflare tunnel for me. No more manual config editing.

Here's my quick write-up on it: https://yuris.dev/blog/homelab-opentofu

And the code is all public if you want to see how it works: https://github.com/yurisasc/homelab

Hope this is interesting to someone. Happy to answer any questions if you have them. Curious to hear if anyone else has gone down this particular rabbit hole with IaC for their Docker stack.

What a time to announce all 4 horseman of the apocalypse (Is that now GenAI, Climate Change, Genocide and Technofacism?) are coming in the close future.

From the companies press release:

_“The legendary saga of the Four Horsemen continues in Darksiders 4, an all-new action-adventure set in an apocalyptic version of earth and continues where the original Darksiders game left off.

Darksiders 4 is a 3rd person action adventure game featuring combat, traversal and puzzle solving in a lore rich post apocalyptic world.”_

I have some level of excitement for this. Darksiders ability to never fully die is a sign of industry health to me. I have made multiple attempts to jump in to the first 2 from PS3 to PC to the remasters on X Series, PS4 and Switch (also stadia in keeping with my post history). The most recent switch attempt lasted the longest.

Not exactly sure what my completion percent was when I finally wandered off to something else that sparkled and caught my eye (probably a stressful day at work and whatever CoD was on the Xbox front page) but I remember feeling like it had finally clicked. The puzzles seemed engaging enough, I was vibing with the upgrade grind and the whole thing was ridiculous enough I’d give it a recommend finally.

Darksiders is a video game ass video game and it sort of knows it. It also has a side that feels like someone had a vhs of the Dolph Lundgren Masters of the Universe movie they watched a little too much growing up and that was their embodiment of dark fantasy. Mike Mignolas artwork was great as always and it just kind of worked. The series is straight B grade gaming and that’s my sweet spot. I also had a problem with the Beastmaster and the USA channel growing up so take my opinion with that context.

All that aside, it’s a goddamn miracle we’re getting the (hopefully) final game in a series that never really stood a chance of a 3rd mainline release not far after it was initially launched.

Best of luck Gunfire, let’s hope you can fight the tide of the live service, post game content, line goes up dev cycle and put out something you’re all proud of.

Today's game is Prey. It's not my first go with this game, but last time i played i got right to the end and stopped. That was on Xbox Gamepass. I saw it was on sale on PC and decided to scoop it up and finally finish it. We'll see if i end up sticking through this, but i'd like too.

The game has a fun Physics engine where you can pick things up and just chuck them, which is the part i'm sure both myself and many others probably remember this game for. I spent the first 10 minutes ish of the games just chucking things at a NPC in the opening and at random stuff around the room.

Then there's also the hints the game provides towards the story at the very beginning. Now that i now the story it's a lot easier to pick up on these at the beginning, and it's cool seeing it hinted at. Though, if memory serves the game doesn't hold these secrets for very long. Nonetheless i think it's cool the game does this.

The game also has a little "alternate history" spin too it that i think is cool. I must have not picked up on this the first time, despite the huge ass painting in the museum of JFK in 2035. Speaking of the Museum, the game gives you a little one to explore that explains the alternate history which i think is cool.

Enough about the cool things this game does, there's also the combat. The game gives you a bunch of cool combat abilities. But the two core ones i enjoy is the Physics and Way the enemies interact with weapons.

Firstly, physics is awesome because in a pinch you can chuck things at enemies, and secondly, and this is the cheap ass strategy i use a lot, you can pick up Turrets and reposition them. I always keep a mental note of where all the turrets are so if i encounter an enemy i can grab the turret and basically mow it down.

Then the way the enemies interact with weapons, namely the main one which is the mimics, is really cool. The game gives you this cool Gloo gun which you can use to freeze the mimics for a bit and let you do extra damage. On top of that the Gloo Gun let's you use it for parkour, so i used it to skip a few sections.

One thing i will say is this game can be harsh at times, at least for me. Maybe i'm not playing right but i feel like i'm in a constant struggle for health. I ended up getting soft locked so i stepped back for a bit and stopped after getting into Morgan's office. I really want to finally finish this game though so i'm hoping i don't get bored and hop to something else like i usually do.

Pour ceux qui ne comptent pas lire l'article, c'est encore du lobbying de la part de canal+.

still deciding to fully degoogle with GOS or muddling through with what I have (proprietary, data grabbing and bloated).

To understand the question, compare with my main hardware with debian on it: a regular notebook I bought in 2016 and I've used heavily for all kinds of stuff: working, writing papers, downloading and playing media including AV1, editing audio, torrenting...

One of the best investments I ever made, considering what I paid and how prices nowadays are. Debian offers regular upgrades and I don't have to check if my hardware is going to support the software on a level comparable with android devices (GOS only runs on pixels, other open-source, privacy focused Android operating systems have similar hardware restrictions).

I want this kind of ROI for the device I buy and the software I use, but I don't know if that's possible:

GOS drops support for older pixels but I don't know how many years any particular device is supported by GOS: 3 years? not enough. There's no way I'm buying a new pixel every 3 years. I'd even consider 6 years restrictive.

I’ve been working on adding security headers to my reverse proxy and so far I believe to have gotten most of them except for Content Security Policies, I honestly can’t find a simplified way to apply a CSP to 20+ docker applications and hope folks of Lemmy know the best way to go about this.

I want to note that I never worked with headers in the past, I tried interpreting the Traefik documentation and Mozilla documentation as well as a bunch of random YT videos but can’t seem to get it right.

    headers:
      headers:
        customRequestHeaders:
          X-Forwarded-Proto: https
        accessControlAllowMethods:
          - GET
          - OPTIONS
          - PUT
        accessControlMaxAge: 100
        hostsProxyHeaders:
          - "X-Forwarded-Host"
        stsSeconds: 31536000
        stsIncludeSubdomains: true
        stsPreload: true
        forceSTSHeader: true # This is a good thing but it can be tricky. Enable after everything works.
        customFrameOptionsValue: SAMEORIGIN # https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTTP/Headers/X-Frame-Options
        contentTypeNosniff: true
        browserXssFilter: true
        contentSecurityPolicy: ""
        referrerPolicy: "same-origin"
        permissionsPolicy: "camera=(), microphone=(), geolocation=(), usb=()"
        customResponseHeaders:
          X-Robots-Tag: "none,noarchive,nosnippet,notranslate,noimageindex," # disable search engines from indexing home server
          server: "traefik" 

Short answer is: yes.

The kernel of a modern OS (I am generously including Windows here) caches file system data structures in memory. When you hibernate the computer, the content of that memory is written into a large file because that speeds-up a later restart.

Now, if you boot up another OS, and modify these partitions (without mounting them read-only), you alter the file systems data structures. That happens already when you view folders because this modifies access times stored in the inodes.

When you now shut down the second OS, and resume the first OS, the restarted kernel will have and use file system metadata that does not match that of the files on disk. And this causes file system corruption by definition.

I was sick of always fighting with WordPress to get a local set up to develop a plug-in or update the theme for a client, so I made a dev container.

As per the README, this supports:

• Automatic database dump import and site URL rename
• Automatic WordPress theme and plug-in loading from .zip, wpackagist or directory
• Mounting of a user-provided uploads directory

It also means your IDE automatically gets access to a WordPress installation for easy auto complete of WordPress functions and features when writing PHP code.

Theoretically, it can also easily be converted into a normal container if you don't use VSCode by setting up /workspace as a mount. Dev containers are unfortunately a bit broken with JetBrains products, and this container will not launch.

Contributions welcome!
