AFAIK, clamAV hunts Window viruses, not Linux malware. The linux equivalent I know of is rkhunter.

Thank you.

Which FOSS video editor did you find?

Thank you. So it’s not just a doorbell, rather a remote controlled surveillance and communication system. That is a bit more complicated than a bell at the door.

Why would you need any software, server or phone for a simple door bell?

No bad guys are good guys. And most good guys are not good guys, either.

The Shadows, the Centauri and the PSI Corps are introduced as “bad guys” but gain a lot of positive aspects during the show without becoming “good guys”. The Nightwatch and the Earth Governement under president Clark are “bad guys” – but quite a few of there supporters/members become important “good” characters, like Zach Allan, Elizabeth Lochley or Susanna Luchenko.

That’s my point about the Babylon 5 series – they deconstruct the good guy/bad guy meme. Mostly.

It’s Me, Myself and I.

Achieving a state of complacementness in an unperfect world full of suffering and joy.

Yep – that’s what I like about it. Good and bad are fluid, like in reality. Even Bester is shown to be a caring character striving for the good of his people.

What is RCS?

Not exactly a story. I just watched Babylon 5, and it’s fascinating how the good guys are the bad guys are the good guys are the bad guys…

Oh no, 230 years. 1866 was just the first time the Senate was involved, as far as I know.

1866

I don’t know about the US, but in Germany, by using a vending machine, you are implicitely and automatically consenting with the ToS of the vendor by your action.

In the article is a sound explanation: the machine is activated by detecting a human face looking at the display.

If this face recognition software only decides “face” or “not face” and does not store any data, I’m pretty sure this setup will be compatible with any data protection law.

OTOH they claim that these machines provide statistics about age and gender of customers. So they are obviously recognising more than just “face yes”. Still – if the data stored is just a statistics on age and gender and no personalised data, I’m pretty sure it still complies even with 1920s data protection habits.

I’m pretty sure that this would be GDPR conform, too, as long as the customer is informed, e.g. by including this info in the terms of service.

/dev/fb0 is the framebuffer. So yes, you can feed data into the filesystem and you’ll see it on your display.

For Unixoids, being a file does not mean that this data is stored on a hard disk, but that all data, processes and hardware are accessible with the same toolkit. /dev/fb0, for instance, is part of the file-like interface of your graphics card.

One of two big cutting boards that are the same size. The second largest would be “das zweitgrößte”.

In an everyday colloquial way.

The directional particel “hin” is a commonly used word in German without an exact equivalent in English. “thither” is the best approximation I could find, though it’s usage is completely different, of course.

The spelling “tho” was commonly used back at least in North American informal writing in the 1980s already, and was proposed as a shorthand brief already by Thomas Shelton in his 1626 Tachygraphy. Predating cell phones a bit.

linguistic convention, innit?

They should never have been consumed bitter. When they are frozen the bitter substance is destroyed. In former times this implied being harvested only after the first night frosts in autumn, never before. Nowadays there might be some more artificial ways to achieve the same result more reliable. (Perhaps by breeding, too, I’m not sure about this part.)

Taste changes with age, too. The younger, the sweeter and the older, the bitterer people prefer.

US made software rules the world.
