How we collect data Our system collects torrent files in two ways: parsing torrent sites and listening DHT network. We have more than 500.000 torrents which where classified and which are using now for collecting peer sharing facts (up t

FWIW, I was in Thailand a few weeks ago (no visa, it was a relatively short trip) - I did not see this question on the immigration form.

Out of interest, why is it that only the DLR is automated and not any of the other Underground lines? Is it an infrastructure issue?

I'm working my way through the show after having just finished the first book. I found the crew of the Rocinante to be fairly generic characters in the book, but at least they were likeable. In the screen adaptation, I find the constan

Right, it's why I don't trust these services myself. To be fair, while I say that Google Photos almost wiped his photo collection out, we didn't actually realise that sync had been enabled in the first place. I guess in a fun

I did. I got a couple of random low-res thumbnails (they were just generic enough that I wasn't sure if they were actually original photos, or Google samples), and that was it – the rest were mysteriously missing. They were clearly the

I don't fully understand the underlying cause, so take this with a pinch of salt... but my girlfriend's father's photo collection almost got wiped out by Google Photos. After being locked out of his Samsung tablet (supposedly

It does not. I really hope they add the feature soon – in the meantime I use gpg on the commandline. I've been tempted to add the support in myself, however I do not have any experience with the elementary codebase or Vala, so a cryp

I have not used ProtonMail myself so I can't help you there I'm afraid. While I use Fastmail with my own domain, it is not self-hosted. My MX records point to Fastmail's servers.

Bingo. I don't care for the comments or any of the 'related' clickbait videos.

I didn't miss anything when I left Gmail, but I imagine it depends a lot on how you use email. I switched to Fastmail on my own domain and actually prefer the webmail interface over Gmail. I mainly use IMAP via Mail.app on my laptop an

I will have to check this out when I get the chance. I was deeply saddened when YouTube killed their "Feather beta" feature which presented a super-minimal version of the site with the intention of reducing load times on slower in

A friend and I implemented a similar interface for picking a place to eat with your partner / friend. We felt the Tinder-style interaction led to a really nice UX, but didn't gain any traction. It's good to see this interacti

FWIW, Thailand is the perfect place to fly into and just make things up as you go. Everything is super-cheap, and there are minibuses and trains which can be booked a day before (and probably even on the day) which can get you anywhere you

Forgive my ignorance - what implications does this have? Would Evolution run as some kind of daemon, and Geary just add the presentation layer on top?

I've been considering whether a mirrorless would be a good fit for me for some time. I recently set out backpacking and ditched my DSLR for a much smaller 35mm rangefinder. While there are times where I think "I wish I had my DSLR

I also own a 5S. While I can't say it's as fast as the day I bought it (I got it second-hand with iOS 9 loaded), it's certainly faster than the 3GS it replaced! The 3GS in turn, was a replacement for my Motorola Milestone (Dr

Ah interesting, I didn't realise they had an office in London. Are there any engineering vacancies at the moment?

by ShinyCyril 10y ago
Where do you work? There seems to be a significant lack of hardware jobs in London.

While we're on the subject of tech jobs in London... does anyone work with FPGAs?

by ShinyCyril 10y ago
It depends if you are willing to give up luxuries or not. My girlfriend and I rent a cosy, but modern studio apartment in East London for about ~£800 p/m. Obviously that money would get you a lot more in most other places in the world,

I tried doing this the other day, hoping that I would finally be able to get a working OSX setup on my desktop (have made several attempts with no success at getting it working bare-metal on my Z600). Sadly it just ended with more kernel pa

Hardware acceleration can be done using PCI passthrough to pass your graphics card on to the guest OS. IOMMU and VFIO are two terms I commonly see associated with this, but having never done it myself I am not sure what the difference betwe

For those outside of the US the link ( https://www.amnesty.org/en/get-involved/take-action/Edward-S... ) does not work. Anyone know what the correct link should be?

Slightly off-topic, but IRC discussions don't come up too regularly. What channels / networks are people hanging out in? I mainly lurk on ##re and ##security on Freenode.

Aircraft broadcast ADS-B signals which contain tracking information, which is used by live flight trackers to map out each flight in real-time. The problem is that there are large blind spots when aircraft go over oceans due to the lack of
