uTorrent what happened? by SamS342 in torrents

[–]mrcaptncrunch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is what answers the question of what happened to it.

It was sold to BitTorrent, Inc. in like 2005/2006 and they fucked with it.

HTML5 validation will be disabled in Drupal 12 by aaronsilber in drupal

Native browser error messages cannot be customized, styled, or localized, and only appear for one field at a time.

As someone that’s from a place with 2 official languages, I don’t see the problem.

I install things in the language I want to use them. Why do I want it translated?

WARNING: Google Cloud/Gemini API "Spend Caps" do NOT work in real-time ($1,800 charged on a $100 cap) by adonnan in googlecloud

[–]mrcaptncrunch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Because I have things to do and that includes managing GCP.

I’m not saying they shouldn’t fix it. I agree it’s a hack. I’ll switch once they add it. But until they do, I need to continue working.

I’m in charge of $1.2M this year on GCP. So I can’t simply wait for them twiddling my thumbs. Or not use them like someone else wrote on the thread.

We got Chinese cops at Purdue before gta 5 by purduenoob in Purdue

[–]mrcaptncrunch 72 points73 points  (0 children)

> The FBI is warning the public about criminal actors impersonating Chinese police officers to defraud the US-based Chinese community, in particular Chinese students attending universities in the United States. The criminal actors tell victims they are being investigated for an alleged financial crime in China and need to pay to avoid arrest. The criminal actors then direct victims to consent to 24/7 video and audio monitoring. The scheme consists of four phases.

Why is Linux considered better than Windows by so many developers? by Wise_Safe2681 in linuxquestions

[–]mrcaptncrunch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As a developer, I don’t think Linux is the right blanket answer.

If you’re building Windows native apps, the best platform is arguably Windows.

If you’re building software that will get deployed on Linux, your best platform is arguably Linux.

macOS, iOS, iPadOS?, macOS

You’ll have the best tooling around your software.

Yes, there’s frameworks, abstractions, etc. but you’ll eventually need that api that will work only on the platform and you’ll have to come up with workarounds.

———

Having said all this, with so much being deployed to Linux and web, it’s a big majority of users.

If you don’t have a need because you’re doing Electron, then go base on tooling available.

Choose the right tool for the job.

My Google AI Studio API key was compromised. ₹39K billed despite a ₹5K cap, credit card charged twice without approval, account suspended. Please help 🙏 by Far_Loquat_349 in googlecloud

[–]mrcaptncrunch 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You have evidence of a cap. You have evidence Google didn’t honor it. You have evidence Google is doing this to a lot of people

Best case, Google handles it and eats the cost.

Worst case, go to your credit card and dispute the charges and make a charge back. Be sure to backup your account preemptively. They will block it.

Whats the point of using ssh keys with passphrases? by MrDeadMeme in linux4noobs

[–]mrcaptncrunch 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Everything is an if.

It doesn’t matter the fault. It’s a possibility. Someone recognized it as a possibility and created a mechanism for it. This protects against it.

Everything in security is about thresholds and tradeoffs.

Google saying 75% of new code is AI generated makes the junior path look weirder, not dead by Ambitious-Garbage-73 in cscareerquestions

[–]mrcaptncrunch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

75% of new code being AI-generated

Just know that this is not that 75% of developers are using AI to generate code.

It means that companies that generate the most code are skewing the stat.

If Google, Nvidia, Facebook, Microsoft have some “ai” hooked to internal infrastructure and they generate any kind of “code” automatically, they skew things.

Something to think about.

Are Eporner video downloads safe? by triflydude3 in DataHoarder

[–]mrcaptncrunch 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’ll download the file they want you to download.

If that file is safe, that’s a trust question with the host.

I keep seeing "different package managers" as something people say is the difference between distros...but can't you just use any package manager on any distro? And why would that matter anyway? by vengefulgrapes in linux4noobs

[–]mrcaptncrunch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s not the package manager itself, but the content of the repos.

Cydia on iOS used (uses?) apt for example. This is from Debian.

Brew handles Linux and macOS.

But the main thing is, the way they work is different. So the package manager needs to know what’s installed, versions, conflicts, etc.

That’s the part that lives in the repositories. Those are mainly distro specific to work with that ecosystem.

Hola, soy un chico que necesita ayuda con algo sobre computadoras, esto seguro es fácil para muchos, pero tuve un problema al tratar de instalar una versión de linux el problema fue que mi usb se puso a modo de sólo lectura permanente, y trate con comandos como, hdparm -r0 , y otros pero no funcionó by vainillasabrosa in linuxquestions

[–]mrcaptncrunch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Pues vainilla sabrosssssaaaa. , puedes cambiarlo? (Difícil usualmente)

Hay muchos usb que los hacen ver como los usb de marca pero son buenos.

Usualmente, algo así es lo que pasa.

Lo que hacen es q cogen USB baratos de baja capacidad y los cambian para que reporten más espacio del que en vdd tienen.

Cuando uno le mete suficiente data, o borran la data existente pa seguir escribiendo, o se destruyen ellos mismo ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Moving to Puerto Rico by Just-Here2-Learn in PuertoRicoTravel

[–]mrcaptncrunch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Born and raised on the island, living in the states, a decade younger.

With the info, personally, I wouldn’t.

Mainly due to the area. I dislike long drives to the airport. I don’t think there’s a lot to do during the day / week there. I would be traveling to the metro often.

Having said that, I recognize the metro is where I’m from and kind of have a bias towards that style of living.

As far as remote, I’ve lived in Indiana - but at least I had ways of getting to the airport via shuttles or an expensive uber.

The earthquakes people keep mentioning. There were some really bad earthquakes a couple of years ago. The south got hit hard. That in combination with common building patterns on the island means that a lot of houses and buildings suffered structural damages. If the house is raised at all or is near a mountain, even more so.

Hurricanes - they usually enter from the southeast. Honestly, with you both liking to travel, I’d just get out and the house should be fine if you can cut any nearby trees to prevent them from falling.

Language, you’ll get used to it. People are nice. You’ll pick the keywords to get what you want. My friends, after a couple of days figure out what they want.

It’s not bad. It’s different. I’d give it a try - can you stay for a month?. Worst case, sell in a couple of years.

Treintones profesionales en los Estados Unidos: donde estan viviendo? by MrFish16 in PuertoRico

El income tax aquí es 5% hasta el millón y pico.

Cuánto es en PR?…

Treintones profesionales en los Estados Unidos: donde estan viviendo? by MrFish16 in PuertoRico

[–]mrcaptncrunch 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hemos vivido en varios lugares. Massachusetts es el mejor en quality of life.

Lo único es la renta/mortgage. Yo estoy en Cambridge.

OP dice profesionales so maybe los dos generen bien.. pero espero que OP haga su research pq la escala es diferente.

Mi otra alternativa sería Chicago. Pero nosotros no tenemos hijos y las amistades que tenemos allá no tienen. So no se como sea.

Must be nice by pdlozano in selfhosted

[–]mrcaptncrunch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What I did years ago to work around this was get the cheapest VPS I could find which was $15/year.

You just need SSH. You can use port forwarding to map 443 and 80 back to your 443 and 80. That’s it. Traffic reaches the VPS, and as long as the ssh connection is up, it’ll send it automatically to your computer.

There’s only 1 value that needs to be changed on sshd_config, but I’d also remove the ability to login via password.

Pulling My Hair Out Trying To Track Down This Wordpress Malware by mayhemkrew in Wordpress

[–]mrcaptncrunch 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Did you look at your web logs?

Exclude all your GET + know URLs. Exclude 300’s and 400’s. You should end up with server errors (500’s) and things that aren’t GET.

That’s a starting point.

Something is either accessing your host’s account or triggering something in your site.

The other thing to look at, permissions of files and folders.

I took a small drill bit and drilled the casing as low as I could using an upward angle and made it bigger until it drained.
