Yoshi-P Urges Square Enix to Revisit Two Classic PS1 RPGs in c/[email protected]

More Ivalice content? Hell yeah.

And I'm always down for more turn based tactical RPG. Reminds me that I need to get back to Horizon's Gate on PC.

How are you doing with your communities? in c/[email protected]
[–] [email protected] 2 points 7 hours ago (1 children)

Good luck, seriously.

As a beard (long past the pfy stage, still have a ways to go till gray status) I understand the desire to avoid the type of basic shit that seems to show up in sysadmin communities now. Way too much "I'm the only IT guy so they gave me a fancy title, but I'm doing Tier 2 helpdesk work at best" flying around in the admin spaces lately. The non admin spaces are even worse, with regular "sky is falling" articles about Windows features that are disable-able with a single click in a top level settings menu.

That said, if the space gets popular, it's going to attract all types, including the newbies with inflated egos. Kind of a catch 22. You need it to be popular to attract any users, but you're trying to cater to a specific subset.

I'd start with filling out the community description/sidebar, myself. Beyond that, you've got a new subscriber here.

They sure seem obsessed with it needing to be a black oppressor. Maybe I'm insane but it always gives me the distinct stench of racism. Like they think it would be somehow worse for their enemies to lose to "the blacks".

Did they read the same article? It addresses this pretty directly I thought.

Looking for Lemmy accounts about software vulnerabilities, CVEs, etc. in c/[email protected]

That's not really how Lemmy works, it's more like Reddit, where you'd probably want to look at communities. But I've not seen anyone announce any new vulns here, people just post links to articles about them.

Searching for communities from the db0 instance should get you a bunch related to cybersecurity and infosec (only reccomending as some other instances have defederated from the .ml instance you're posting from/in). If I have some time later I'll edit this post with some.

EDIT: Posting from my phone, so apologies that these are direct links rather than in the "home instance agnostic" format

Linus Torvalds Lands A 2.6% Performance Improvement With Minor Linux Kernel Patch in c/[email protected]
[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 days ago

It's very simple. The US government maintains a list of sanctioned entities and companies. US citizens and businesses are not allowed to do business with these entities. Most of the removed maintainers either used their company email, or very publicly are employees of these sanctioned companies.

There's no investigation of connections or anything complicated going on here.

Also, if you think corporations becoming effective government is some Russia specific thing, I have a bridge to sell you.

He's practically always been like this. If anything he's notably softened with age.

From being able to work on Linux stuff without having their contributions reviewed by someone else (not from russia).

It's an important distinction many seem to miss.

Congrats, now you have irradiated zombies. And any not truly destroyed by the explosion would effectively just get knocked down by the shockwave and get right back on up.

Apology starting with "per my last email"? Nah, that's the "I've officially stopped caring and I'm highlighting your failure to read for all to see."

What piece of media would you like adapted to another? in c/[email protected]
[–] [email protected] 3 points 3 days ago

I would love to see The Protomen's albums adapted into a muscial (assuming they ever finish Act 3). Reading the liner notes while listening along gets close, and they already did the music for "Terminator the Second" (musical shakespearian adaptation of Terminator 2).

Yo, could you flag this NSFW? Don't think most people would be fine if their boss saw this wonderful pod of dicklets on their screen.

Requesting assistance/guidance archiving: Accord's Library, a site that archived and translated Yoko Taro works (lemmy.dbzer0.com)

Yoko Taro is the creative director behind the Nier and Drakengard series, and he has released a lot of supplemental material across a variety of mediums over the years in Japan. Accord's Library is a site that is dedicated to finding this material, archiving it, and translating it.

Today, in Accord's Library Discord, they announced that they received a Cease and Desist from Square-Enix, and on Oct 31, the Library and Gallery sections of the site will be closed and taken offline.

Announcement Screenshot

Announcement TextDearest Recorders and Observers of Accord's Library.

These past few years have been a pleasure, but we regret to inform you all that we've been contacted by the Square Enix Legal Team. And after some private communications, based on the outlined requirements we have come to the conclusion that Accord's Library must close its doors by the end of the month. While we are sad to have to go, we also must respect the wishes of the Legal Team.

The Library and Gallery will remain opened for the next 2 weeks and will be officially closed on Oct 31.

We hope to continue spending time with you all, and other fans in the future through our Discord Server, which we plan to keep opened.

On behalf of the entire Council for Accord's Library, we sincerely thank you for your support and friendship over the years. We hope that you will continue to use the discord, though we understand if this is where we part ways.

From the very bottom of our hearts, we will be forever grateful to everyone who's volunteered their time to help build Accord's Library into what it was. Thank you to all of our Transcribers, Translators, and most of all, all of you for sticking with us.

Take care of yourselves out there. Glory to Mankind.

  • The Accord's Library Council

If anyone is skilled with backing up sites, any assistance would be appreciated. Even if it's just to point at the right tool for the job (been almost a decade since I've backed up part of a site).

NIST Releases Version 2.0 of Landmark Cybersecurity Framework (www.nist.gov)
 

NIST is a US government org that releases industry guidlines on best practices for cybersecurity.

I know that infosec and sysadmin work aren't the same, but in my experience it often falls to sysadmins and systems engineers to fill the gaps. Hope this is useful.

Soichi Terada - Purple Haze (www.youtube.com)
 

Soichi Terada is a House music artist who was popular in Japan in the 90s. Outside of Japan, he's mostly known for his soundtrack work on the PS1 game Ape Escape.

This is one of his covers/arrangements/remixes, where he plays around with elements of another song. Not quite sure what to classify it as, otherwise I'd label it in the title.

I find his music to have a pretty distinct style, and I like using it as background while I study, code, or do other work.

Any reputable Ad Blocking app on the Play Store? (lemmy.dbzer0.com)
submitted 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) by [email protected] to c/[email protected]

I'm looking for a free, reputable ad blocker on the Play Store. Something that does local host/filter list filtering using the VPN feature, like Blokada 4 or 5 (before they started cloud hosting the filtering features as a money/data grab).

Personally, I'm no stranger to F-Droid or Obtanium and even have dipped my toes into ADB.

I need this for family members when they start asking, so I can point them at something decent that won't try to fleece them and get on with my life unburdened by family tech support hell. Something they can install through the Play Store they already have and easily switch on and off if something they "need" isn't working.

So that eliminates just setting their DNS to an ad blocking one in their Wi-Fi settings. Wouldn't follow them off that specific connection, and wouldn't be an easy toggle if something broke.

Assistance with access revocation using MSGraph (lemmy.dbzer0.com)
 

Microsoft's documentation for revoking user access from Azure AD currently references cmdlets from the AzureAD PowerShell module, which will be deprecated on June 30th.

Microsoft reccomends using the MSGraph module or API as a replacement for the AzureAD module, but I'm having a hell of a time with it.

I'm trying to figure out how to use PoweShell to wipe corporate data off a user's BYODs, and I'm stuck trying to get a list of a user's BYODs through Graph. Ultimately this will be part of automation kicked off when a user leaves the company.

Queries for devices and managed devices for a given user seem to be missing devices that are shown through Azure Portal when looking at a user in Azure AD and then looking at their devices. The query for deleting data is also unclear in whether it wipes the whole device or just corporate data.

Does anyone have any resources or guidance on this? Most of what I'm finding is outdated or too vague for me to be comfortable utilizing it.
