I'd say the biggest reason that Gnutella (and other services like it) is no longer in much use is because for a long, long time now the easiest way to download music for free, without ads, and with virtually zero chance of getting caug

The problem with this line of thinking is that businesses don't expect you to read T&Cs . This site itself is, funnily enough, a good example of this (and, to be fair, an outlier). When you sign up to an account here, you're

I'm guessing this is supposed to illustrate how tracking is ubiquitous, given what I see in the source code. In my case, though, after carefully enabling only scripts from the site and the Cloudflare CDN, but not enabling XHR/webs

I have a local version of RPCemu too, but I never had a Risc PC myself so it's not as interesting to me; we got a PC about half a year after Windows 95 released. Have you come across the Stardot[0] community yet? I feel like you'd

Ooo, a rare fellow home RISC OS user! I had an A3000 at home myself so I didn't have the benefit of using RISC OS with a hard drive, and we never upgraded to an ARM3, but we did use both RISC OS 2 and 3. Still love the old Acorn machin

Maybe it was edited, but from what I see, in the last sentence they said to have Claude make a spec, not to rewrite the code.

It works fairly well for me in Linux on WINE, even with Visual PinMAME. I believe I used the all-in-one installer (vpx7setup.exe, although there's a later version now). My GPU is an AMD Radeon RX 6600 XT, if that makes a difference.

I can't say for sure, but is it possible they're referring to the founding of the Internet Association in 2012?[0] I don't think it's that, because the Wikipedia article makes it seem like it was a force for good, but at

That's essentially how things used to work, and the problem is that it too can be gamed using JavaScript. For example, a relatively naive approach might be: 1. Make an HTML <span> element that contains "The quick brown fox j

In the UK, this URL simply redirects to the UK version of the homepage, sadly. For anyone in the same situation, https://web.archive.org/web/20260430234304/https://rivian.co... leads to the correct page.

To be specific, the zlib'd binary basically does this (except that it directly uses Linux syscalls to do so rather then C wrappers): setuid(0); execve("/bin/sh", NULL, NULL); exit(0);

That would suggest that CRYPTO_USER_API_AEAD=y in your kernel config. You can disable it in that case by setting that to "n", recompiling your kernel, and putting the new kernel in place.
