Yet another "anti-military" article from people who clearly don't understand the military.

Hi.. It's me again. Army Veteran. Showing up in the comments of another military article because there is clear and obvious reasons why this is happening that has nothing to do with Trump (Not sure why so many other commenters jump on this every time). Claiming that this is racist is crazy when the purpose and reason for it is innately to stop people from dying unnecessarily. If you think this is racism, I'd argue that it's not. I'd also argue that ignoring the medical problem can actually kill those you think you're protecting from "racism".

This is not new. While I was in (primarily under Obama) people with problematic beard hair would need to be medically evaluated. At one point I was evaluated as razor bumps kept coming up for a little while (cleared up eventually though). The primary reason for the military caring about it is because NBC masks need to fit particularly well in order for them to do their jobs. For those who don't know what NBC means, gas masks. Nothing sucks more than doing gas chamber training and getting a mask that doesn't fit well. Considering the current world capabilities, it would be a disaster to send a unit out and have them all get nailed with mustard gas and have just the "black" (quoting this because it's inaccurate, I saw many people need a profile over bad shaves. a plurality were actually black) people die because with hair, you can't get a good seal, and with the bumps, you can't get a good seal.

Now up to this point, I've said terms like "profile" and "medically evaluated", none of these things innately remove you from service unless it's extreme (or fails to clear up over significant time). The only thing moving forward is that if it doesn't clear up they want to medically discharge you from service. Here's the rub though, you can't have soldiers that can't put on NBC masks and keep them deployable. It's a basic core task. War is war, it's nasty. The headline that gets written in the worst case scenario is "Black soldiers die in mass NBC attack because mask seals don't work" is the alternative here. This consideration HAS to be addressed when you expect war to kick up (Iran, anyone?). This is a problem... And in my time, I've seen a handful (very few) people hide behind this condition to do less work than their peers, especially to dodge deployable statuses and NBC chamber training.

Lastly, if you read the article "The recent policy update under Brig. Gen. David R. Everly reversed a 2022 rule". This "rule" is very new and was likely found to harm wartime readiness after trying it out. The people getting kicked out would be relatively new recruits in their first enlistment. I can only imagine how much worse their experience was in many training exercises because of the ill-fitting masks, and honestly, I don't really see an alternative that doesn't potentially sacrifice their lives should they deploy. These soldiers will have already served sufficiently to obtain their benefits and it would be a medical discharge, which is not a dishonorable discharge. They would keep any benefits that they had obtained through their service.

And to preempt an argument... "there's no study that says beards/razor bumps interfere with gas masks"... There are. Most of them say minimal beards/hair is fine (less than 1/16th of an inch) to get a mask seal, where 1/8 can already lead to issues. But it's understudied. The risk of getting it wrong is people's lives.

Edit: Typo

Edit2: Reported by a blahaj.zone user...

Reason: Misinformation, dog whistles, and holding water for fascists

Lmfao. Apparently pointing out that this was a thing for a long time and restating information in the article itself is misinformation...

Well the assumption is that the Graphene team will be able to maintain non-store app installs. There's recent news that Google is no longer providing update packages the way they used to which will make it harder on Graphene to update stuff too.

We can't assume that Google's next update will not functionally block the ability for GrapheneOS as well.

To me this is even worse though. They're using your electricity and CPU cycles to grab the data they want which lowers their bandwidth bills.

It happening "locally" while still sending all the metadata home is just a slap in the face.

Leaving this for people to realize that there's a literal chapter's worth of book of security issues that haven't been fixed and seems to keep getting the can kicked down the road... for over 4 years now.

I love Jellyfin... people need to implement it sensibly knowing the potential risks.

Edit: Ah yes! I MUST be a shill for saying "Implement it sensibly".

Here, let me "de-shill" myself.

You have several options to make Jellyfin serviceable to users outside of your literal LAN network.

1. setup a VPN. Pray you don't have a user on a device that doesn't have a VPN app that you can work with.
2. setup whitelisting on your server. Pray that IP addresses don't change.
3. setup fail2ban or crowdsec. Pray that you users don't piss off either by doing user things and getting locked out.

If anything above fails... you're likely on the hook for support. Hope you plan for that!

1. Obfuscate your paths (change /movies/title (year)/title.ext to something like /9ZHBrvNH4dKQDYFa2parH32qqSFpjsWTataVkjy4NqPxpVktT55PkEee5YSVRvUQ/movies/title (year)/title.ext). MD5 is now much harder to generate/guess... pray that there isn't some other vulnerability. Gotta go back and reconfigure and organize your shit. Oh and make sure that your docker mounts aren't crushing the path!

Am I still a Plex shill? BTW I run Jellyfin AND Plex. Literally side by side. Different uses for different cases because Jellyfin just can't compete with Plex for sharing with dumb-ass relatives.

For something that isn't a crime. Why are we feeding this troll attention? Let him fall off the face of the earth and all his "projects" fail.

Wow... Both other people who commented here are fucking heartless.

The man was just trying to help the homeless people and keep his neighborhood safe

The relative said Housman was trying to settle an argument between two homeless campers on Clinton when one of the campers stabbed him in the throat.

While many residents were nervous and wary of the homeless campers, Housman had a different approach: to make the neighborhood safer, he appointed himself "sheriff" and began to screen homeless campers and then provide them with support once they gained his approval.

During our interview, another neighbor pulled up, claiming that Housman provided electricity to the homeless campers.

Ya'll are dicks. Read the article. He was a good dude and epitomized the exact shit you espouse. You don't want cops involved... you want the community to police itself and do good. This guy was doing just that. Doing way more to help these people than you do.

It's grandpa's time to shine.

You bought it from the US distributor.

They buy the Chinese product and package it in their own package.

It's just a computer... Why not? As long as it cannot be running while the car is driving I don't particularly see an issue.

Would be great if I could fire up a game while waiting in cell parking at the airport for my family that comes into town for example. Gotta remember that this isn't new. We had minivans with built in n64s and shit before.

Can you post winnie the xi jingping on there?

Or is that an insta-ban like every other chinese-based platform?

Pretty sure it's not xenophobic to look at "Headquarters Moscow, Russia" and wonder if there's any possibility that Putin could enforce something upon the company.

It's not like Russia doesn't do it to us.

The Russian Federal Security Service (FSB) separately accused the US National Security Agency and company Apple of being behind the attack

It's fair to hurt Russia's GDP by choosing not to use Kaspersky [in light of people's opposition to the war with Ukraine]. That doesn't mean "xenophobic".

Edit: Added bracketed clarification

I host my own. Specifically for myself and those who are friends or friends of friends.

I have a cluster of servers operating in my garage. Free real-estate for tons of stuff I want to host. I have to "pay" for electricity... the rest was already paid for long ago. My electricity cost for my whole cluster... is an estimated $1750 a year. But that cluster is 160 CPU cores, 750 GB of RAM, and ~400TB of storage. You ain't getting that on a cloud hosted provider for $145 a month. About $110 of that is subsidized by my business operations. I host email, websites, nextcloud, plex, etc... boatloads of stuff.

So your source... And the one that got the most upvotes against a written article that is based on articles written by actual scientists... is TikTok ADHD girl who has what qualifications?

Cause you know... https://www.cnn.com/... which is linked in another comment around the same time this one was created... cites at least 3 separate people who claim that the data is sound.

Your girl even admits we know very little about the core of our planet itself and yet can resoundingly claim that she's right?

They're all uppity that to use cloudflare proxy they have to terminate the ssl connection there. So technically cloudflare can sniff all the traffic. But that's kind of the point of WAFs and Reverse Proxies.

I would argue that the sheer amount of data throughput that Cloudflare has, you'd have to really be on a list to be monitored... and they certainly cannot just log all data willy nilly.

an LLM.

"In the environment you just described"

So wheres the rest of the prompt then?

Why the fuck do we keep acting like this shit is content worth interacting with?

No they didn't..

https://discuss.grapheneos.org/...

Our Pixel 10 support will likely only be possible to complete after we finish porting to Android 16 QPR1 which is being released in September.

They don't know IF they can even support it until they figure out the new releases that are jacking up their dev cycle.

It will be significantly more work than usual to support the new Pixel 10 phones since Android 16 removed the Pixel device trees from the Android Open Source Project. However, that was already only part of what we need for device support and we worked around it by expanding our automated tooling.

This is exactly the issue I'm referencing. Google can completely sabotage this route. We don't know yet.

Edit: I should clarify that they did say they're trying to continue, but should they not be able to crack the device tree issues they will be stuck. Nothing they released said that they've figured this issue out yet.

They've been doing it for a while. Since June of last year or something. They have ipv6 rotation tools to get around it now. But youtube is basically ip banning instances.

If you've lost root credentials you can always bypass them.

When your in after this point you can reset the password to something you know then continue from there.

LMFAO. I love people like you... If you demand everyone stay home... You know what will happen? You won't have customers in the restaurant. Which leads to less tables, which leads to less wait staff needed. You will simply lose your job. So not only do you not get tips... but you won't even get your minimum wages.

Congrats you're ruining it yourself!
