Did you ever hear the tragedy of Emperor Kuzco? I thought not. It's not a story the Jedi would tell you.

technically yesteday, but the baloo file indexer went haywire and was taking about 25% of my precious RAM. couldn't figure out why but since I'm used to plocate I disabled it with balooctl6 susped; balooctl6 disable; systemctl --user mask kde-baloo.service; systemctl --user stop plasma-baloorunner.service and removed ~/.local/share/baloo/index, which grew to 40GB m(

I think I had to do this at some point on another machine, so leaving this here for me and anyone else who runs into baloo_file_extractor gobbling up resources

finally migrated my old videos from vimeo to static files and a special thanks goes to ffmpeg for making them smol

tl;dr: Dedicated TOTP hardware recommendations anyone?

I'd like to use TOTP-based 2FA for some services that don't support FIDO tokens.

For some time I did this with TOTP applications on another device (laptop or fallback smartphone in the drawer), but found it cumbersome to boot up and shut down an entire OS for every 2FA login.

Therefore, I'd love to get a dedicated TOTP hardware thingy, and am looking for pointers/recommendations! Which one(s) should I look at and why?

We're looking for a cover for the next issue of Phrack!

Retro sci-fi, terminals, dystopian systems, chrome futures, hacker manuals from an alternate timeline.

Make something timeless and strange.

Writers: here are ten free and easy ways to add a dash of visual interest to your blog posts without resorting to AI imagery (which signals to readers that your blog post is probably also AI and there’s no need to bother reading it):

1) A thoughtful photo you’ve taken yourself — a nice sunrise you saw, a cool angle spotted on vacation, your pet curled up on the couch, flowers. Play with your phone photo app’s filter settings to nail the tone. It doesn’t need to be particularly related to the post, it’s related to you as a person.

2) An image from Wikimedia Commons that’s somehow related to the subject matter — there are unfathomably many, you can search by keyword. Remember to credit. https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Main_Page

3) A screenshot of a scene you made in a sandbox game such as Minecraft or Animal Crossing

4) A scene you made with toys such as Lego (you can also use free Lego design software such as Bricklink Studio) https://www.bricklink.com/v3/studio/main.page

5) Play with the effects in whatever image editor you have access to, using your own photos or free-to-use images, to create something a bit abstract and avant-garde

6) Even if you can’t draw or paint very well, you can probably make some pretty cool abstract or collage imagery with whatever art supplies you have around. Dampen some paper and randomly dip watercolor paint onto it and see what happens

7) Those stickers you stashed and never used? Yeah you can make something with them. If they’re individually cut, you don’t even need to peel them, you’ll still find the One True Way to use them one day, I’m sure

8) Shelfies. None will dare question your competence after they see you have a real paper copy of Subject Matter Tome Volumes 1 through 6

9) You can get a lot of mileage out of compositing pre-made video game assets into an image. A good place to start is Kenney’s free and generously licensed 2D assets: https://www.kenney.nl/assets/category:2D and the Tiled editor which is specifically meant for assembling images out of video game asset tile sheets https://www.mapeditor.org

10) the most ridiculously amateurish thing you can scribble on a post-it note or in MS Paint is preferable to AI imagery because it clearly signals a real human cares about the post.
