Rwanda serves as the occident's proxy to extract minerals from the kivu soil, it has been occupying it since the end of the genocide on the pretence of pursuing the genocidal troops that fled there. There is absolutely no surprise here, it's rich becaus it plunders the richest soil on earth.

Since in --userns=auto, root inside the container gets assigned to the first uid of the uid range assigned by podman, copyfail would succeed but you'd get uid 647831 and be able to do nothing with it

--userns=auto asign a different namespace for each container, so if you escape it you get a random uid far far away from root it also protects other containers from the compromise since they each have their own namespace and uid/gid range, the drawback though is that you can't mount shared volume unless you use a pod, since you would see files from outside your uid/gid range as owned by nobody and inaccessible.

If I understand correctly, rootfull podman with --userns=auto would also prevent the privilege escalation ?

I am pretty sure they know our identity pretty accurately already, through browser fingerprinting and google's gmail data, my real concern is the half-assed security measure with our id cards. The persona breach just recently proved they cannot be trusted and this expose us to identity fraud/theft.

A tolerant society cannot tolerate intolerence, lest it gets destroyed by it.

You cannot give anything to fascists, we know what they do, history is there, they didn't change, they're doing exactly the same thing.

I read that during the irish occupation, irish policemen (so, working for the british governement) were rejected and isolated socially, treated as traitors to their people.

Which led them to eventually refuse to continue oppressing their people for money, the revolution, independance, all that.

I kinda see connections, don't you ?

Did you know the early nazis where actually impressed by america's segregation and racism and lamented they couldn't easily do the same? Well, they kinda did in the end.

White men are the most privileged and protected class oh prople in the accident, all this is bullshit.

You have no idea what people outside of it are saying because you don't talk to them, you've just been endoctrined by the media playing on your fears of the unknown and of losing some of those privileges.

But the thing is, the most privilegied losing privileges isn't something horrible, it's simple justice, restoring the balance.

Well, I've never used linkedin outside of job hunts, and for that it was useful.

The social media part seems trash tier and I want no part of it though.

Meritocracy is the myth the dominant class created to keep us all playing.

I hate the fact the keyboard is non-standard, the mental hoop to jump between my normal keyboard on my desktop and the macbook pro one is a no-go.

I told my job I prefered an old lenovo thinkpad than this dumb, vendor-locked, thing.

Tbh I just bought a 250€ refurb laptop, it has 14k cpu benchmark and 16gb ram, 256gb ssd.

Honestly do you need more to do terminal emulation? No, you don't.

Ok I won't play bg3 on this but that's good, it means I'll be productive !

Nope, as an European I'm totaly willing to pay a carbon tax and very happy that it will be less interesting to pollute for profit.

Trump is the worst thing this planet has to offer and his tariffs are akin to the biggest kid bullying the rest of the kindergarden court, I'm gonna boycott american products till I die.

So if I understand correctly, you're gonna pay the product if you use it in some way (or if you're forced to use it) and even if you don't want/avoid using it, you're gonna pay through your taxes.

Well, suck to be american huh, them big capitalists love to do you all dirty.

I'm specifically avoiding chrome-based browser as form of protest against google's monopoly.

Currently using waterfox, but might go for librewolf... In any case I'm very interested in servo, even thinking of contributing to it.
