but I figured, why not? And left my likeness open to everyone, just like Sam Altman.

Play stupid games, win stupid prizes.

Honestly about as bright as posting your credit card details on social media.

Privacy is something you can’t really get back once you give it away. Your likeness is just another part of that

My favourite is the difference between French french and Canadian French.

Many of the uniquely Canadian French swears are oddly religious compared to French french

FWIW I think it’s mostly gone the Aussie way in the UK over the past decade unless you’re taking to a pensioner.

Just the yanks now

6ish, I’d like 8 but I can’t really fall asleep until after midnight unless I’m truly exhausted, then work means I usually need to be up around 7ish

Not necessary preppers as that is someone who’s motivation is to mitigate some hypothetical future bad thing happening

I think most self-hosters are doing it out of a combination of technical exploration and mitigating real issues that exist today, e.g. cloud service outages or market exits causing something previously bought to be useful to become a temporary brick or permanent e-waste. Well, and cost in some cases, no one particularly enjoys having an extra bill for hosting.

I miss the keyboard screen series of Logitech stuff, I held onto my G510 a lot longer than I probably should have and only really retired it for something much nicer to type on around 2020.

If Logitech had released something like their G915 but with the screen, I’d have got it in a heartbeat. Even though game support had long dwindled, it was still good for media player feedback, system stats and IIRC there was a third party way of getting notifications from some sites to show up.

I guess smartphones kinda do most of that better these days… Well excluding the system stats, but that was always the fallback if nothing else was worth showing

This is kinda cope

Practically everyone’s job is going to be automated away before long, the important thing is that production is socialised before practically 1 guy owns everything and has to pay no one.

At that point things end up pretty concrete.

These opinion pieces that pop up saying “ha-HA! Behold the petard they’re hoisting themselves with!” Kinda miss the importance of preparation.

They falsely expect an easing to an exponential curve.

The cat leapt out of the bag decades ago, we all need to make sure we’ve got something left at the end of it all

I was doing some awful manual patching trying to get some Linux TV kernel patches into a raspberry pi kernel I was cross compiling on my main desktop.

IIRC I had both repos cloned for quick reference/source of truth and then a third I was using to do the actual work on. I remember running a du summary on my working directory with it all in at the end, and it was somewhere between 40-50GB.

There was probably a more space efficient way to achieve what I was doing, but there was no need to worry about that

I mean, this sounds like a pretty huge deal

Does anyone who knows this field better than me, know if this is as big as it sounds?

I wouldn’t say a gamer is remotely exceptional, some modern games take up 200+GiB (which is ridiculous, but still reality)

If you’re a content creator or hobbyist that does anything with video, photo or audio, that’s gonna disappear in a flash. For example, I came back with ~30GiB of RAW photos from my last weekend away, and that’s before any processing which will create some intermediate TIFF/DNGs. If it was a week away I’d not even be able to pull them all onto my PC to process.

Hell, I’d be worried about using most of that up by just cloning and compiling a Linux kernel, I think last time I needed to do that I ended up using about 50GiB

I’d say sure, the average web browsing, word processing user you’re probably thinking of is going to be fine for a while, but all other use cases aren’t exactly exceptional.

70GiB was a good amount of free space about a decade ago, not really at all today

Oh I was more saying that’s quite a low amount of free space for an application to be putting a message like that up!

I think my desktop has something like 20TiB free out of around 60TiB currently and I’d just call that a comfortable place to be.

… But I’d understand if a disk tool gave me some grief over it

70GiB is lots of free space? 🤨

I think if that was all I had left I’d already have a new disk in the post

Because Rust didn’t exist when sqlite was started?

I’m hoping that’s one of the first lines on the page

Edit:

Okay there is a section about Rust that it’s at the top of

None of the safe programming languages existed for the first 10 years of SQLite’s existence. SQLite could be recoded in Go or Rust, but doing so would probably introduce far more bugs than would be fixed, and it may also result in slower code.

Wait.

There’s a turbo onigiri?!

How the hell have I missed this concept

I vaguely remember getting into a WPA network (that I owned!) using kismet about 15 years ago with relative ease, but I’m struggling to remember details about that process.

I also remember reading that WPA2 non-enterprise was broken a while ago, however I just looked into it and both of the main exploits I can find were patchable (and have been patched) at client OS level (They were the KRACK and FragAttacks). Seems like there has already been something found wrong with WPA3 too that’s also been addressed.

So yeah as you say back to brute forcing for the most part. Forcing reconnects was a pretty easy way to get more handshakes to record back when I last tried, so I assume that still has decent levels of success, given the prevalence of mesh networks. Looking further it seems people use a tool called hashcat today to get pretty rapid results doing the actual brute forcing using a modern GPU.

But yes very good advice all in all, long passwords and the highest WPA version you can get away with are going to make an attackers job harder.

Thanks for the reply, you got me to go back down an interesting rabbit hole I’ve not looked at in a while

Worth highlighting WiFi blasts all your data in all directions, and unless you’re using enterprise/WPA3 encryption with a strong password, someone determined enough can break in.

If someone wanted to they could park near your house and run aircrack (or whatever the modern suite is called) without you ever knowing. FWIW this is why it’s good to set up a way of getting notified about new devices on your network (most modern non-ISP routers support a way of doing this)

Conversely, I believe most ethernet NICs discard any packet not intended for it at hardware level, they’re super optimised for speed, it would be much slower to leave that for software. I’m not 100% if that’s universal however, so I’d try and double check that

Well that’s lit up some braincells that haven’t fired in a while, might pick this up and give it a go once it’s out

I feel like those early 3d platformer collect-a-thon games often don’t age too well though IMO

Aren’t these summer rolls rather than spring rolls?

Tbf there being lettuce in there is somewhat unconventional in the UK

If there’s any greenery it’s often cress

Though that’s now an egg & cress rather than an egg mayo

This looks a lot like defamation or libel to someone who isn’t a lawyer

Why are they not suing this guy into the ground?
