I don't think that's true. If the VPN is compromised then the Signal traffic over it should still be encrypted (that's the point of Signal). As long as the VPN doesn't block your access to Signal you should be fine, and

Not true for me. I've used several distros (including Ubuntu) with Gnome on my 4K XPS and the worst I've had to do is go into Gnome settings and click 200% GUI scale. I'm pretty sure Ubuntu set that automatically.

Before connecting each client needs to be set up with (1) its own private key and (2) the server's public key. The server also needs to have each client's public key. Once you have securely shared this information out-of-band, the

I used to think municipal fiber was the answer to improve internet service, but while it may work, I've seen that it is certainly not the only way. I moved to Berkeley for university and there are several competing options for gigabit

Even if ideas come from an uncountable set (not convinced yet), there are still only countably many ideas people will ever have. Each time anyone comes up with an idea, I can assign it a new integer.

by PureParadigm 7y ago
Why is the alphabet not countable? If each time you think of a new idea and make a symbol for it, I can also assign it to an integer (because there is always a next integer like there is always a new symbol you can come up with). When you c

Git repo hosting really doesn't cost much unless it's super popular and needs a lot of bandwidth (at which point you can probably get some hosting company to sponsor). At minimum, a Raspberry Pi and an internet connection will do.

I'd say it's fine to modify it to be able to do that, as long as you don't actually turn it on and make it disrupt other people. For example, a car is very capable of crashing into people, but even though it can do that we ex

I think large decisive moves like this may seem to some to be an overreaction, but it will prove to be the correct decision in hindsight (like the early travel bans). Exponential growth is real, and anything we can do to slow the rate of in

If everyone thought like you and tried to get it early, then the hospitals would be overrun and you'd be no better off. Also, it's possible for you to get it again after recovery [1], so it may not even help you at all. [1] https

Compared to the library version: import numpy as np np.linalg.inv([[1,2],[3,4]]) and this does handle the case where the determinant is 0 (by throwing an error about it being a singular matrix).

Yeah, there may be some situations where C is necessary as a wrapper for assembly if you're _extremely_ memory constrained or something like that. But I wouldn't have any confidence in it working as intended unless it's dead

C is great for learning about how computers work at a low level. In my college, we started by writing a simple compiler. This should force you to understand pointers and memory which, as others have mentioned, are fundamental. You'll h

Couldn't agree more. I often have to install programs from sounce, and dynamic linking, header files/include paths, etc. make the C build system extremely unreliable. It's often more of a trial and error process ("which

I've been running Arch Linux on my 3900X with no major issues. It took a couple of updates before the temperature sensing worked, but right now everything works perfectly.

I think it's more like a graph with edges between associated bits of information. It's easy to remember things in order, but random access is hard unless you've established links for it. For example, if you memorized how to p

Perhaps there is also the need for untraceable/hidden tools for censorship circumvention. This may involve masquerading as normal traffic. I've heard of specialized hidden censorship circumvention tools that do this by tunneling i

Why would that have to be the case? Also, wouldn't performance and thermals go together? You won't get good performance if you're constantly overheating.

The number of unauthorized SSH attempts will also very much depend on your IP address. I've hosted my own SSH server at home and from a university dorm room. At university, I'd get way more attacks (usually from foreign IPs) than

For Americans, First Amendment protects telling lies (as long as there is no other crime such as fraud), so penalties for lying on the internet likely wouldn't stand up in court.

It happened whether you "prospered" from it or not. How does that alone make you any more culpable? You could argue a baby born today might have indirectly benefited from it. Is that baby culpable to any extent?

As far as I know, IPFS objects are immutable. Is your suggestion that I publish some sort of index containing all of the IPFS links to my backups, and then my friends can automate pinning those links? I think that could work, but it would b

Thanks for the suggestion. I've tried Syncthing, but it seems to still require that users are explicitly added (i.e., no public access [1]). I'd prefer a solution where anyone could decide to start helping replicate backups, witho
