But how else am I going get orangutan flavour in my ice c̶r̶e̶a̶m̶ confection?

Careful, don't cloud deletions sync, i.e. remove the previously offline-only files from your devices?

I was talking about alternatives like Sqlite. It might optimise complex querying, but writing to it is slower than simple appends.

by Walf 2mo ago
Text or text-like (e.g. text content with simple control char delimiters for metadata) would be far superior than the slow-down from Sqlite's safety mechanisms. Optimising logs for read, at the expense of write, is a bad pattern to me.

I think that's conflation. Having high visibility of an area so that cameras can be consulted for evidence can be, as you attest, a good thing. Being tracked over an indeterminate length of time, profiled, and maybe one day punished fo

Perhaps you'll feel differently if you, or someone you care about, happen to be one of the lucky future misidentifications.

It's not that simple. If you were in public, going about your business, but someone followed you around perpetually, noting down everything you did, you should feel stalked and harassed. That is exactly what these machines are doing. B

The funniest response I've read to this type of reasoning went something like this: a family gathering; topic of privacy came up; boomer-type trotted out the "nothing to hide" line; younger relative asked them if they enjoy a

The ship was inanimate, and though it may appear otherwise, so are computers.

I always find that idea of uploading a mind so detached from reality. It's as irrational as thinking that physically reprogramming one twin's brain to be the same as the other's would make them the same conscious person.

That you know how to use the language without such oddities presenting any difficulty does not make them less strange. That r-string parsing solution is fine for the interpreter, but we are not interpreters, so it's not a logical outco

It really doesn't help that after the acquisition of TNT couriers, some bright spark decided to call the Australian arm of FedEx "FedEx Express". That's right, "Federal Express Express". It's moronic that

Would they still fail if it were a professional quality site, without the parody disclaimer at the bottom?

Profiles for separation is good for large differences like work and personal life, but I find the lack of shared history, bookmarks, and add-ons to be a pain. Running them simultaneously is annoying because only one profile is considered yo

Yeah, I don't love it. Forcing phone numbers is the worst, as I've practically never needed to call or be called about a purchase, but it's a de facto ID.

For me, this is almost an anti-feature. I still use it for a few sites, but the real killer feature of containers is that it becomes a breeze to use the same service with different accounts & identities, without logging in and out, and

Yeah, and I invariably add -r to xargs, so as not to execute the command unless results come through the pipeline. If one is working with whole lines of text, setting the delimiter to newline is often desirable: xargs -d \\n

As much as I don't like to, I do use Google things on phone, and I've really only ever used secondary profiles to use shady apps with far too broad permissions, such as the kind required to update firmware or get data from wireles

Have you got a link to anything about hiding parallel accounts? I use GrapheneOS, and don't see anything in the UI about it. Am I looking for the wrong thing? From what I can see, it's the same as stock Android's user switchi

Is there some reason you're being a patronising prick? Or do you really not know the definition of spilt horizon? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Split-horizon_DNS I could not have been clearer that the private DNS

Mate, what on Earth are you talking about? A private DNS server that can only be hit by clients on an internal network, which differs from public DNS, is split horizon.

I wasn't talking about your opinion of it, I was simply using a rhetorical question to point out the nonsensical premise of your response: >Wait…what? You have a fully internal service and you dont have an internal DNS server? You c

I thought it was quite effective. I read the whole thing in anticipation, and was still shocked by the graph.

It's one year, from left to right. The termination of the red line is in the middle because it's the middle of the year.

What, indeed. Yes, I have internal DNS servers. They are what handle the split horizons. How would one do split horizon without an internal DNS service?

I consider that an unnecessary leak of private topology, it's not info that needs to be public. IPv6 addresses are not really ever internal, and an exploitable vulnerability in a firewall product leads to the possibility of a directl
