Any age? Sure someone can drug and rape a 5 year old. But even with 8 it's hard to get the cash for a proper addiction. You mind sharing about what age you fucked up to calibrate my compass?

In the end, this was about self inflicted damage. Not someone abusing you.

Sure there is this one guy who changes the oled to a different one bacause his screen broke and the old one has been difficult to source. Most people won't fix a 30$ iron. Especially since you need an iron to fix it...

It has a display and even bluetooth. The Firmware is open source. The schematics are available.

Imo open source is not that important for an iron unless you want to add a klingon translation. But the iron is pretty good, although it is often rather >50 bucks including shipping.

If qbits double every year, we're at 20 million in 15 years. Changing crypto takes a very long time on some systems. If we're at ~20000 in 5 years, we better have usable post quantum in place to start mitigations.

But I'm not convinced yet, we'll have those numbers then. Especially error free qbits...

The biggest problem, 25% (or however many) will survive this and be unharmed. Those are the ones others will hear about because god saved them. It will not matter how many believers died.

While I also noticed my webcam showing up with 3W in powertop and disabling the uvcvideo module removed that entry, it doesn't affect the reported battery discharge rate at all.

I can see the files being opened with lsof and not so with the workaround. But again the discharge rate doesn't change at all ...

To me it seems the power consumption is misreported.

A distro is composed of:

  • an installer
  • base system (bootloader, filesystems, service runner, DE, basic apps, settings)
  • packet manager and packaged software
  • an updater between releases

The biggest things you notice are updated packages. Many of the base-system differences aren't even pushed to updated installations. Most of what the user sees as °the os° is the DE anyway.

Just a note: Superconductivity is not only destroyed by temperature, but also by magnetic fields or a too high current. We might find a room temperature superconductor that is basically useless for energy transportation or high magnetic field applications.

Another problem: almost all known high-temperature superconductors are ceramics and thus very brittle and hard to work with.

What we want is a cheap, metallic, high temperature superconductor with a high maximum critical magnetic field and high critical max current density...

But of course any improvement could give big improvements in some applications. Having a nitrogen cooled MRI wound be awesome.

For how long though? How do you know these are real people?

It is not a problem to distribute the decryption algorithm. The question remains against what this will protect. Normal https encrypts the traffic safely during transit. With this, the data is also encrypted on the server. But if you can access the server, you can modify the javascript code to send the password back to a server.

It could be used on something like IPFS, where all data is basically public but you can be sure it hasn't been modified.

No wonder. That file is super slow to transfer for some reason. but wait till you get to /dev/urandom. That file hat TBs to transfer at whatever pipe you can throw at it...

Death by snu snu!

Online play is 100% unencrypted or authenticated. Client executes lua code sent by the server. I hope the code is kinda sandboxed but wouldnt put my hopes up there.

I likely up/downvote comments by accident with my fat-fingers.

Weren't lemmy votes public btw? At least for every instance admin...?

I played some minetest and then looked at Minecraft. Is minecraft really limited to -64 +256??? I read it a couple of times but still can't believe it. Ho can a game with °mine° in its name be so limited? More like Buildcraft Imo.

phew long answer. I wouldn't call Gentoo unstable. I was rather interested in why it's supposedly more stable then Fedora.

I just wrote from my limited experience. I never had something break on Fedora. I just updated a system from 35 to 41. The stuff that broke was something I compiled against old dependencies. (That's why I didn't update so long)

My Gentoo experience is >15y old. I had numerous incompatibilities, because I used the tools the system gave me. But sure that's on me if I cutomize my system with USE flags. And it's probably better now.

I also didn't like AitD. The tank controls, static "3D" screens where you overlooked something if you didn't walk into every corner and a new screen presented itself... Oh wait, you're talking about a remaster? I'm talking about the original...

Can the press be above the voting population? Surely not. So they shouldn't be allowed to publish articles with uncomfortable thruths about a candidate? Also the democrats, they say bad thruths about trump. They shouldn't be allowed to say that.

Trump lies? Why didn't anyone say something about that??? /s I don't think many people will vote Trump over Biden based on the debate. But I can understand everyone that won't vote Biden (thus not vote at all) based on that debate.

IDK. Gentoo is considered stable, but fedora "leaning unstable"?

Anyway what is that whole un/stable supposed to mean anyway? All non-rolling distros try to be stable. What can break are third party repos and stuff you compiled yourself. With fedora that can "break" twice a year. With a rolling distro that can "break" on every updates

Then maybe there is other stuff you care about?

You're getting one of them. There is no third option.

If you don' care about the other topics at all, then don't vote.

BTW: Anduril is a startup from Luckey Palmer, the guy that built the Oculus VR headset in his garage. The later sold Oculus to Meta for 2 billion $. 3 ex Palantir guys started Anduril together with him.

Was on the phone and only quickly looked up the latest version. So I only updated to 40, not rawhide.

Sure Gentoo had dependency resolution. Does Gentoo still have use flags? Because that makes dependency resolution much hardere It's not enough to know the dependeicies, you also have to know all the use flags you dedend on. And if a maintainer adds a use flag for a feature you depend on, you have to add that dependency as well or people who disable that flag break with your package.

I'd be surprised if gentoo was considered stable, if you make heavy use of use-flags - if they still exist.

edit Maybe your "dependency resolution" is a new automatic thing that identifies dependencies including use flags automaticallt? It was automatidally done, only if the maintainers put the right stuff in their ebuilds.

They have a demo. Played it with my youngling. It was too much for him.

The game is great - if you like suffering.

The Steam reviews are hilarious.

So grandpa had a computer problem. Turns out he installed one of the early locker trojans. He: "It's all my own fault." Family: "no grandpa, that were some ugly hackers". So i removed the virus and checked the computer. Turns out it was his fault. He tried to watch "russian removed porn" and installed the virus in that process. He was like 85 and needed help washing himself. So IDK what his intentions were... The worst part: I had to keep a straight face and confirm the "hackers" therory. That secret will die with me. And now you.

Myst.

I came for the graphics and because I liked adventuers. Was disappointed by the static graphics and I didn't understand what to do at all.

I hope they can build on some work from the lua devs. Isolating stuff like that is not always easy. But given lua is used extensively for embedded scripting, there is a good chance they can.

And IPFS is not build on 90s tech?

Also compared to TOR, IPFS has 0 censorship resiliance.

I was a bit exmited for IPFS for a moment, but th more i tried it and thought about it, the less I saw a reason to use it.

It is not bad per se. It should be the goal of every government to make all people fat and happy. The problem is, it is enough to only make >50% happy.

Certificate pinning?

Also all let's encrypt certs are public. So if someone malicious gets a cert for your domain, you can notice.

(Thats also why it may be a bad idea to use that for secretButPublicStuff.Yourdomain.com certificate transparency logs are a great way to find attack surface.)

edit oh certificate pinning has been deprecated in favor of checking transparency logs.

Soo they added webp and AV1, which aren't that much better then old jpeg, especially with the modern jpeg encoder JpegLi. But JpegXL is out of the question.

Those examples all have a good reason that does not apply here. Browsers already support multiple formats and added a few in the last decade.

I never understood why Fermi should be a paradox.

Space is mind-bogglingly big. Insanely huge. And almost everything is empty. Primitive life (bacteria, fungus,...) might evolve on every other planet, but even mammal like life is probably not that common. Maybe 1 in 10k solar systems has them?

And now my sad hypothesis: FTL drives are simply not possible.

Also, did I mention space is huge? Sending radio signals to a planet 10k ly away is very non trivial. Unless they point a huge dish exactly at us and we point a huce dish exactly to them, we won't hear each other.

The idea that extraterrestials will watch our TV in 100k years is absurd. (Sorry Lrrrr)

Larning about how AI (LLMs) work, what output they generate and comparing that to kids growing up, I have a similar experience.

I write business letters in HTML. I have a custom letter.css and a base letter.html+.js that loads individual letters into a template. I have some custom tags for date, address and similar. The individual docs are super clean. I can export compiled html files with embedded css (no js needed) and images that render perfectly and are even smaller then the pdfs I export (print) and those are small too.

Two downsides. The biggest problem, I didn't find a way to do proper multi page docs. And especially Firefox has limited print css support.

Second: everything is crudely hacked together and in no way usable by others...

maybe chatgpt can rewrite the code better, so I can publish it?

Hthhhhh%hhhdqhh%ud

You know the cracking the cryptic Suduko puzzles?

Two dudes on youtube feature and solve medium to super hard variant sudokus. You can skip the videos and just solve the puzzles if you want.

The GAS puzzles are easier.

If 10% voted for some third party that would make the headlinds.

And be drowned in the rest of the election news and one of the two would win anyway.

They have an exclusive deal with Epic. So no Steam/GOG for the forseeable future. They say the game would not have happened wnthout the money from Epic.

I guess the DRM-free version was the best deal they could get...

I know million dollar machines that ship without MS office, but with Openoffice (!). The problem is, the Software can copy graphs to the clipboard in WMF (or something like that) that neither the super old Openoffice nor a recent Libreoffice can import. So wordpad is the only ootb software able to use the data.

Their reason is that 90% of their customers have an office subscription anyways...

Please enlighten us? Just a hypothetical or a realistic one?
