This is hella important. Don’t use a PC with Copilot hardware IMHO. Don’t even borrow a friend’s PC with such hardware to check email, for that matter. If they have Recall enabled, they can scroll back and read all your emails. If you get hacked on a system running Recall, months of everything you’ve ever done on the PC could be ex-filtrated in minutes for the criminals to review at their leisure.

I want my country (Mexico) to be better overall and especially in areas that have been lacking for a long time, but man, none of these presidential candidates seem like a good option to me as I have issue with all three of them. And as things are now, it's practically a two-party system. What to do?

Remember, artists, you don't need to censor words here. Mastodon is not Twitter. 👍🏻
You can freely say the words commission, sale, KoFi, shop, open, etc. without fear of getting your posts hidden/demoted, or a million bots replying.
Also! You can use hashtags without worry too! They actually help! 💕

For more than four days, a server at the very core of the Internet’s domain name system was out of sync with its 12 root server peers due to an unexplained glitch that could have caused stability and security problems worldwide. This server, maintained by Internet carrier Cogent Communications, is one of the 13 root servers that provision the Internet’s root zone, which sits at the top of the hierarchical distributed database known as the domain name system, or DNS.
Given the crucial role a root server provides in ensuring one device can find any other device on the Internet, there are 13 of root servers geographically dispersed all over the world. Normally, the 13 root servers—each operated by a different entity—march in lockstep. When a change is made to the contents they host, it generally occurs on all of them within a few seconds or minutes at most.
Strange events at the C-root name server
This tight synchronization is crucial for ensuring stability. If one root server directs traffic lookups to one intermediate server and another root server sends lookups to a different intermediate server, the Internet as we know it could collapse. More important still, root servers store the cryptographic keys necessary to authenticate some of intermediate servers under a mechanism known as DNSSEC. If keys aren’t identical across all 13 root servers, there’s an increased risk of attacks such as DNS cache poisoning.
For reasons that remain unclear outside of Cogent—which declined to comment for this post—the c-root it’s responsible for maintaining suddenly stopped updating on Saturday. Stéphane Bortzmeyer, a French engineer who was among the first to flag the problem in a Tuesday post, noted then that the c-root was three days behind the rest of the root servers.
