Day Use X Mockin' UhMy speakers on my computer suck and I can't take it anymore.I'm gonna buy a head unit, two 16x9s and two speaker boxes to go with them, and an amp, with intention to eventually add a subwoofer at some point. I'm gonna power all of this with a regular ATX power supply, and I'm gonna turn that on and off by running the green wire and one of the black wires to a toggle switch.I've done everything I just said, or something similar enough, before; I need suggestions for everything else.How should I mount all of this?I already have a comically large ammo can and there's a military surplus store here that undoubtedly has more, if that helps. The only problem with the one I have is not with the overall volume; it's that it's tall and skinny, which is almost certainly not what I need. Most of the things I just mentioned wouldn't fit if only because the dimensions are wrong, like I just said. I need anything that could be exposed if I didn't care, enclosed, so that my cat can't get to it if nothing else.I could just use junction boxes and actual conduit, and also just go ahead and use that for the rest of my cable management that I keep swearing I'll get around to someday (lol), but AFAIK, there's probably no way to do that cheaply. Please correct me if I'm wrong about that because I would love to be.Thoughts?<a href="https://defcon.social/tags/askfedi" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#askfedi</a> <a href="https://defcon.social/tags/rant" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#rant</a>

Jeff SikesProminent celebrities doing ads for horrible mobile games with micro transactions is my new pet peeve. Seriously how much money are they getting for this?

Day Use X Mockin' UhNot one time, out of all of the countless times I bought alcohol back when I drank, was the customer service anything other than great. Alcohol is a drug; it is insane to suggest otherwise. Why, then, is the experience so much different when I go to the pharmacy?<a href="https://defcon.social/tags/ShowerThoughts" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ShowerThoughts</a> <a href="https://defcon.social/tags/Rant" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Rant</a> <a href="https://defcon.social/tags/Pharmacy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Pharmacy</a>

Ross MounceThere are two types of webinar: One where they have the chat ON, and it's a real value add to the webinar. People share links and discuss things.The other is where no matter how great the speakers are, the chat is OFF, and it all feels really soulless and a great missed opportunity for real community discussion.Please leave the chat function ON in webinars!<a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/rant" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#rant</a>

MontagDigitalminister erklärt: Ausweis und Führerschein bald im HandyHm, was kann da schon schiefgehen?<blockquote>Personalausweis, Führerschein, Kreditkarten – alle wichtigen Dokumente gut versteckt und griffbereit, zum Beispiel auf Reisen. Aber was, wenn man sie alle sicher an einem einzigen Ort speichern könnte? Genau das soll bis Anfang 2027 mit der digitalen Brieftasche möglich sein. Anfangs werden aber wahrscheinlich noch nicht alle Funktionen verfügbar sein.</blockquote> Vermutlich gespeichert in einer App die man nur über US-Amerikanische Dienstleister, aka Werbefirmen beziehen kann. Und sicherheitshalber werden die Daten dann auch in irgendwelchen ominösen "Clouds", aka "Anderer-Leute-Computer", gespeichert.

Cleef HangerNo solo todes debemos tener acceso frecuente a baños gratuitos ,más allá de los bares y casas , deben ser accesibles y sin barreras. Pensados para todos los tipos posibles de personas.Pero la realidad es que cada vez ponen más barreras con códigos o compra. No hay baños construidos fuera de centros de consumo económico. No hay cambiadores en ambos baños, ni medidas accesibles para sillas y ostomías. No hay baños bajitos para niños.

Lars WirzeniusIf your software stores passwords in a way that they can be retrieved, and your software isn't a password manager, your software is broken.Verifying that a password provided by a user is correct does not require you to store the password. As an industry we knew this in 1978. It has been 0 days since I saw software that violates this.<a href="https://cheatsheetseries.owasp.org/cheatsheets/Password_Storage_Cheat_Sheet.html" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://cheatsheetseries.owasp.org/cheatsheets/Password_Storage_Cheat_Sheet.html</a><a href="https://toot.liw.fi/tags/security" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#security</a> <a href="https://toot.liw.fi/tags/password" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#password</a> <a href="https://toot.liw.fi/tags/passwordStorage" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#passwordStorage</a> <a href="https://toot.liw.fi/tags/authentication" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#authentication</a> <a href="https://toot.liw.fi/tags/rant" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#rant</a>

David Culley"AI" is not intelligent. Nor is it conscient.There is no "it" behind LLMs. Only rich people who want you to unlearn all your skills, by relying more and more on their LLMs. And once you've unlearned all your skills and once you're so utterly dependent on LLMs because you're so helpless without them and once you no longer know how to do *anything* without consulting a LLM, these rich people will crank up the subscription prices and become even richer. Because in rent-seeking capitalism, of course everything is a subscription.Companies like OpenAI keep telling you that AI is real and will soon™️ become sentient and destroy the world. And for that reason, OpenAI and its likes are actually public benefit companies, at least according to their own arguments, because they—the good people, the Sam Altmans of the world—work on making AI safe, and are thus the saviors of the world!!! Messiah-complex much?And because these companies now positioned themselves as public benefit companies, they get massive funding. It's all just a giant grift, designed to make rich bastards even richer. And people who spend way too much time on LinkedIn fall for it, in masses.It's time to wake up! You've been utterly fooled if you didn't know any of this. But it's not too late. Do the programming yourself again instead of vibe-coding some shit you don't understand. Unless you *want* to pay ever-increasing subscription fees to the Sam Altmans of the world, like a serf, milking you until the day you die.<a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/AI" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#AI</a> <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/LLM" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#LLM</a> <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/madness" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#madness</a> <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/rant" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#rant</a>

DopeGhotiTo all of the feckless cretins pretending to be clever by asking how Dr. Biden "missed" any symptoms of her husband's cancer:Even if she were a medical doctor -- which she isn't - any competent doctor knows not to directly involve themself in a loved one's care, diagnosis, or treatment.Fuck all the way off with your bullshit.

RationizedInsanity🏳️‍🌈🇺🇦🇨🇦🇬🇱🇵🇸Men who follow "alpha male" stuff online are hilarious to me.Because for starters, absolutely nobody really likes hyper masculine men, and only pretend to because they like yelling at people at the drop of a hat.Also I have some bad news for them:If they need some dude online to tell them how to be an "Alpha-Male" then they're definitely a beta.The entire idea is dumb too because the whole "alpha" thing doesn't even actually apply to wolves.Let alone humans.<a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/rant" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#rant</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/socialmedia" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#socialmedia</a>
