I just discovered that the metadata that warns you about a file coming from the Internet also often contains the URL where it was downloaded from, as well as the referrer to that URL (meaning the main website most of the time). This hidden metadata is brought along with the file being moved/copied as well.

Posting about it here since it blew my mind that my old files essentially has my private browsing history going back many years. Even if I can only teach 1 anon about it I thought I'd do it.

You can confirm this information by finding any file that you can "unblock" in its rightclick Properties (meaning it has the hidden metadata) and then doing this in powershell:
Get-Content -path "C:\example.png" -stream Zone.Identifier

Checking the "unblock" in Properties removes the sidecar file but I don't know how to do it on multiple files.

https://winaero.com/disable-downloaded-files-from-being-blocked-in-windows-10/

Something as simple as this should remove the unblock from multiple files:

Get-ChildItem -path C:\LocationOfFile\* -recurse | Unblock-File
>>
>>107609093
I know you can disable it, I just didn't know it saved where it downloaded it as well.
What's that info even used for, outside of just being there for people to snoop. I can't find a way to check where it was downloaded from without "opening" the Zone.Identifier like that, not exactly something regular people would know about.

>>107609316

So what's the deal with everyone hating on Rust?
The usual points people bring up are:
>wokism
>tranny language
>made by jews
>it's a cult

Disregarding the aforementioned points, can you tell me actual reasons for why a safe(r) programming language like Rust shouldn't be adopted more widely?

If you change "Rust" to "C" you get what really happened. C programmers rewrote existing code in C and shilled it as a Trojan horse, literally because of bugs like the Morris worm. C programmers are projecting and accusing Rust programmers of doing what the C programmers actually did.
>It was always about personal benefit. Rewriting things is just a way to take the credit for the work someone else did. It's a way to transfer power to someone else.
Like the people who said "C is the first programming language after assembly" and made songs like "Write in C" and tried to say C and Unix were the origin of everything in modern computing?

Rust doesn't prevent memory leaks. Some of the stdlib leaks memory.
>>
>>107604735
If you want to avoid unsafe you have to avoid the Rust stdlib. Unsafe is spammed thousands of times in the stdlib. If the Rust devs themselves use unsafe so much I have serious doubts that safe Rust is a tool fit for any non trivial program.

>they deliberately did not "replicate GNU coreutils functionality 1:1"
then they're useless for Canonical and thus an irrelevant datum in the context of this conversation
you were implying that because there are other non-copyleft coreutils projects, if Canonical wanted to ship one for financial motives, they could have already done so, but your argument falls apart because those other projects purposely do not replicate coreutils functionality 1:1, and uutils intends to and has made significant progress towards that goal
but thanks for playing
>>
>>107609110
I don't know why it's so hard to understand that unsafe is necessary. The compiler cannot prove that any arbitrary program is memory safe. You can have a compiler that is either complete (accepts all memory safe programs) or sound (rejects all non-memory safe programs), but not both, Godel's incompleteness or whatever may apply. Soundness is obviously the better of the two options, so there are going to be parts of the code you as the programmer have to take on the responsibility of proving the correctness of, since the compiler cannot.

I find it strange that I never see anyone advocating for systemd to be re-written in Rust.

It's the obvious place to start using a safe language in Linux userspace. Since PID1 spawns everything else and is the most important PID in userspace.

Unlike kernel modules you don't need to use unsafe code anywhere to implement the init and service manager. So theoretically everything in PID1 should be doable in "safe" code. Meaning everything spawned by it would also be much safer.

They should at least be re-writing certain parts of the systemd src tree by now like udev and everything to do with PAM/polkit. The init part should have been done years ago.

I find it very strange that the same big tech companies pushing Rust so hard lately never make a peep about what's running as PID1.

>The "Unix philosophy" is the cancer.
Lmao, Unix philosophy is precisely what made it work and why so many machines from heart rate monitors to giant server clusters run it today
But the troons that are trying to destroy what Linux is are trying to drag it all down
>>
>>107608816
Its clear why they do this though its not just their appetite for destruction but rather their appetite for power
See if trannies just control one package that is easy to replace if they start forcing everyone that doesnt wave the tranny flag out or put tranny flags in the software itself people could just easily swap into another package so it means they really don't any power if people need to choose them, that would mean they cant force anything down people's throats and people need to keep choosing their software so it needs to be good on its own merits
And trannies dont want that, they dont want to innovate and make good software that people would freely choose to use, they want to be able to force what people use
So systemd plays into this perfectly making it a monolith that devours small pacakages and takes over their functionality
Then you finally collude with the major distros and get it pushed there and now you have power when you control the systemd package because everyone is more-or-less forced to use it and if you put tranny flags there or whatever other horseshit they cant just easily switch to an alternative

Thats what the trannies have always wanted as i said same thing as pride marches happening in city centers they want a captive audience that is forced to pay attention to them
>>
>>107608816
>Lmao, Unix philosophy is precisely what made it work and why so many machines from heart rate monitors to giant server clusters run it today
"Unix philosophy" means shell scripts that run programs connected with pipes. Unix "works" because computers got 1000 times faster so they can do bad ideas like using text formats like XML and JSON as a database and rewriting the whole database any time someone changes anything. All the complexity of modern software is about getting around the bad ideas of Unix. Unix needs Electron to imitate a useful GUI.
>>
>>107608868
>Unix needs Electron
Nobody needs Electron lmao kill that shit with fire

I agree otherwise though how retarded it is using shit like XML and JSON but those aren't exactly unix inventions
You could use socket pipes and transport data as binary which is efficient if that was what was designed something that transport binary data is just as "unix philosophy" than some program that use xml or json.

GUI side is definitely the weakest in Linux but again its not like systemd helps in this anyway
The window compositor is something that can benefit from being integrated and monolithic in some ways that is true, but it is the exception
>>
>>107604567
Ah yes of course. When it's criticized for being fucking shit it's a product of the community and you should STFU and contribute. But when it's praised it's a product of our lord and savior Pottering and his gaggle of fags and you should listen to everything they say because they know better.

Don't even attempt to pretend the community ever wanted this garbage as PID1 or that they had anything to do with writing the millions of lines of code that comprise this intentional backdoor.

is it feasible for a non-professional to design a graphical segmented LCD with as much complexity as this Game and Watch and have it manufactured? i'm working on a project and my options for a display are either bare LEDs arranged in a pattern (looks like shit, you can't tell what's going on and there's no easy way to add more information easily without major design complications and added cost) or something like this. i assume the upfront cost is probably pretty high but the individual unit cost might still make it feasible, since i want to make a couple hundred or so. i also looked into normal LCD or OLED screens, but the cost per unit seemed way too high. when you search for resources on this stuff, they always assume you just want to play with the positioning of 7 segment displays, or add labels, not do a completely custom design with custom segments.

You can collect credits from livestream links, but there are a few conditions to follow.

You must be located in the UK, Canada, or Australia, and you need an Android device to trigger the credit popup. It will not appear on an iPhone.

To make the livestream open correctly, copy the links below into your phone’s notepad and tap them from there. This will open the livestream in the AliExpress app.

If you receive generic coupons, collect them, close the app, and tap the link again until the credit popup appears. You can earn up to 10 credits per day from livestreams as long as you continue watching them. From the replays you might get 1 or up to 3 from each link.
