A trusted CA with a private key that’s literally just the number 4. This is the funniest security incident of all time.

Not a disk issue, but looks instead like an issue with power management on that thunderbolt root port at 0000:80:1b.4. See this thread for proxmox-specific writeup: https://forum.proxmox.com/threads/kernel-7-0-x-regression-acs-violation-on-pcie-port-80-1b-4-causes-vm-freeze-—-arrow-lake-thunderbolt-5-intel-arc-b50-passthrough.184312/

Looks like you can resolve it for now by either reverting to 6.17.x kernel or creating a udev rule for the device.

In Thunderbird, you can download the full contents of your server-side mailbox by going to Settings > Accounts > {your mailbox name} > Fetching Mail > Local folder size > all messages, and then initiating a sync.

Just tested and it does sort of freeze that particular mailbox up while it’s downloading, which for 200k+ messages could be a while.

POP3 has a niche use case that is mostly obsolete: it’s typically used to keep mail on a single device, deleting the messages from the server after downloading.

IMAP lets you download everything for offline use as well, but allows your mail to be synced with the mail server across multiple devices.

Not great!

Feminism is, indeed, just common sense

I’m sorry, but that is a huge crock of horseshit with absolutely nothing to back it up but vibes. That’s like saying the abolitionist movement achieved nothing because it is superceded by a broader class struggle against capitalism.

Women fought for and won the the right to self determination, the right to vote, the right to divorce, the right to bodily autonomy, the right to be legally treated as persons instead of as the property of their husbands, etc, and none of that is diminished by its byproduct of a larger workforce being better for capitalists. “Women haven’t won anything” fuck outta here

I was raised with Gloria Steinem’s definition of feminism shaping my understanding, and have called myself a feminist since I was a child:

“A feminist is anyone who recognizes the equality and full humanity of women and men.”

A more modern and inclusive version of that same idea, adopted by UN Women:

“Feminism is the belief that everyone, regardless of gender, should have equal rights and opportunities.”

Feminism is a very complex grouping of movements and ideologies, but I think “membership” within them is very simple: if you believe in equality regardless of gender, you’re a feminist.

I use windows 11 for work as a linux/hpc admin, as it’s a mostly microsoft shop. Most of my work is done in a wsl almalinux terminal, which works fine.

The most important things I’ve done to make the rest of it more comfortable all come from the powertoys suite:

• fancyzones, to replicate a tiling window manager (I really hate floating windows)
• workspaces, to group apps and window placements so I can easily launch mail/chat/terminal/browser into predetermined places, etc
• keyboard manager, to set up shortcuts to everything
• run, for a keyboard-driven launcher

With all of that, if you squint and don’t think about it too much, it’s almost like a dreadfully slow sway desktop haha
