☂️-

i could have sworn this had already happened long ago.

and by the looks of it, its gonna start already enshittified.

tvs are annoying to the point people recommend never connecting them to the internet and getting a raspberry pi to use as a “smart hub” sort of thing instead.

piracy. its because of piracy.

and its awesome.

ha. they are renting the datacenters back to us.

its gonna be forced cloud computing for us and total control for them.

and they have decades of closed drivers written for it.

they are speedrunning enshitification 🐧

that’s not about just me. defaults matter a lot.

let’s see what they implement though, their translation engine is nice so far, tbf.

which means it’s working, at least.

capitalism and the ultra wealthy are in control. and you could barely call these “human”

piracy and actually free exchange of information is their achilles heel.

this but unironically

the actual thinnest is only having a choice between “yes” and “later”

pantheon is one of the best DEs out there.

having to reformat for every upgrade is a pain though.

must. not. fap.

not directly, i mean as part of a chain, which is how these are more commonly used.

in a nutshell the process is maybe you have one way to bypass login for an https page of a small team service, which gives you way more surface area to try and look for vulnerabilities in a service or it’s underpinnings, then you may need something to move laterally or into root access which is where an old unpatched cpu vuln would come in clutch, because this might be the hardest part.

that’s if you are setting things up correctly in your server. usually out there it’s just a very old version of apache or wordpress or something, but i digress.

great advice. that’s what i’d do in that case.

oh shit yeah, that too. i always forget their bad QC compared to their price.

bugs so bad they make the game unplayable at launch, can’t forget that one.

i’m talking about services you might want to expose, which might have rce vulnerabilities. i edited my post for slight clarification but i think you replied before i had the chance, so i’m doing it here.

many people do end up hosting other services at home besides just the bare router when they get sufficient “tinker” hardware, which seem to be the case.

either way it’s indeed not something one should worry too much about in op’s case atm, if just to understand what one can expect from older hardware or the limits of what you can get away with.
