Ethereum is mostly mined using custom hardware, it's not graphics cards really, certainly nothing you could re-sell to anybody who expects to play Bioshock or whatever. Very small operations are people buying and using actual consumer

You don't have to do anything dodgy to get power at an unbelievably low cost, even in north america bulk rates are a couple of cents per kilowatt hour if you know where to look, and in some cases you can even be paid to use power due t

Nobody has used a GPU to mine Bitcoin in a decade now.

Somehow, writing the exact same structured text that would go into a blog post in a thousand tweets is different? No, they just have a preference for publishing information in an inefficient way.

Maybe not 4k, but 1080p is miserable.

Probably a typo? My desktop monitor is 500 nits and at full brightness it makes your face sweat.

I've been toying with just automatically trashing any email that contains the string "unsubscribe", in any context.

An attempt at increasing reputation? Nobody is going to mark that as a spam.

Yeah but- damage done already, the data is public forever. It shouldn't have happened.

I registered a domain with whois privacy turned on, the details (phone number, address, name) simply aren't masked and are visible on public tools. I read through all of the documentation and there's no reason for that to have hap

I recently learned that their whois privacy stuff just doesn't do what it says it does, and all the data was just straight up public. I would have suggested them before but no way in hell should anybody use them.

No idea, I saw it on a list of "product success stories" for a IOT cellular provider.

There's a hot tub brand who include LTE radios in their hot tubs to ensure that they always have an analytics channel irrespective of what the user configures. Why on earth? It means they can target advertising for consumables and serv

The smart features of a TV subsidize its price. A "non smart" device manufacturer has to sell at a dramatically non competitive price because they aren't selling user data or flooding advertising into the content shown. Sitti

Sounds like not much has changed since we used it in 2018.

The Tor browser is 100% unique, it makes no attempt to pretend to be anything other than itself. Your anonymity set is other Tor users, not other Firefox users.

Lets be real, you need to be using JavaScript for the internet to be functional, even within Tor. Anybody claiming they regularly use the internet with JS disabled is just lying for some sort of feel of superiority.

That would make them less efficient for no reason.

Presumably this could be mitigated by the DNS request needing padding?

Right, so that's why they added the truly awful subscription service.

Nah, this is the pestilent child response when they are wrangled into giving a "sincere" apology.

Your tone is way, way off.

Kind of. Yubikeys intentionally have a very small number of devices signed with one CA key and then they produce a new CA key, so those devices do have a basically unique identifier.

Thanks for the response. I had misinterpreted the communication from Tailscale to be adversarial rather than just that it wasn't something that had engineering focus. It's good to hear that there will be some progress towards maki

Yes, it's usable with every tailscale client (except for iOS). You provide an argument to make headscale your controller, and then it works much the same as the hosted Tailscale service, with some only minor differences in configuratio

There's a kind of WIP control server implementation, it's not production ready in my opinion but it's definitely usable. https://github.com/juanfont/headscale
