Great idea and design, thanks for this! I was hoping since some time to see this :-D I hope that one day a non-Electron app (to minimize resource usage when idle) will also appear!

It needs a switch to enable a "true" terminal mode... e.g. with such a font https://caglrc.cc/~svo/glasstty/ and slightly blurred characters!

Really nice, it would be wonderful if in addition to drag-and-drop it would be possible to rotate the shapes!

Here around public phones are gone since long, even inside schools. However, mobile phones that just do calls and SMS are still a thing. And anyway, the Finnish law is not preventing any of the use cases you mentioned as far as I understand

Very true, although I think that economic arguments can apply to most infrastructure. What are the actual costs of a day-long nationwide blackout? I have no actual idea, but I'd not be surprised if they exceed 1 billion {EUR|USD}.

Nice to see that at least in some places people are actually thinking to almost-impossible scenarios and taking them into account. I have the feeling that it's quite unlike most infrastructure development nowadays, unfortunately.

They most certainly do. A quick online search returns "NexGuard" as the used watermarking technology, at least in 2018. Edit: it's actually mentioned in a comment not far from here ( https://www.kaleidescape.com&#x2

What reason? Do you have an experience to share?

Not exactly the same thing. This is more akin explosive tracers, i.e., lots of small particles that contain some identifying information.

The idea of using SSO for SSH sounds interesting for some applications, but does the login process really need to be browser-based? Can't we just have the login prompt in the terminal (without needing to run a headless browser behind-t

Out of curiosity, what are you using now? Or do you mean you don't need remote terminals any more because you work on other stuff?

Not sure if it will be Bosch first but I'm pretty sure someone will try to push subscriptions in this kind of devices... with only $3/month you can enable the fast cycle! And/or you'll get (for free this time) a screen t

This is what I was doing around 25 years ago before ad blockers were a thing, and the web was not encrypted... (Python didn't exist yet, the proxy was a lot of code in Object Pascal, i.e. Delphi)

It was meaning 1, although I understand it was possibly not totally obvious after re-reading my comment.

I'm pretty sure they already thought about it. By the way, the FOIA process certainly has a cost which needs to be optimized out...

Funny idea... but it's way too slow to react. (saying this as ham radio operator doing CW, so pretty biased, but I guess actual telegraph operators were much faster than I am...)

I'm even more mad that sound quality in radio interviews actually decreased. People used to use landlines for calling, given that very recognizable sound "quality" (which is of course nowhere close to what ISDN could do). Now

Is that working across networks, though?

by ale42 2y ago
True, but on the other hand it might be that all private use blocks are already in use (10.0.0.0/8 is totally in use in our internal LAN), so if I want the nodes to reach those private IPs, I can't assign the same block. And we do

How much RF power is actually coming out from the RPi transmitter? A few mW?

by ale42 2y ago
Indeed I am, but the point here is that some users are actually typing em-dashes outside word processors or publishing/typesetting tools (e.g., on HN)—so it's not necessarily a sign of a message written by an AI (m-dash pun inte

Yes but you don't own the bus/train nor the road with the billboards. But supposedly, you do own the car. Do cars get cheaper by adding ads inside? Nope.

I do! Alt-0151 on Windows. I'm not an AI, though... (and you can also write in Word and copy-paste here)

I'm not sure I understand this point: > I use Bash for a lot of my scripts, but not all. For example > I have a note-taking script called ~/bin/note which I didn’t > want to write in Bash, so I wrote it in Py

Is this going to be the replacement of WordPad... you get word with the same functionalities as Wordpad, but with ads inside? There's no end in sight for enshittification.

To me those repos seems an abuse of what GitHub is for. I'm 100% fine with a repo hosting malware if it's there for security researchers and anybody else interested in the topic to study, etc. Even better if there is also document

Funny, some of the "reverseness" looks a bit like PostScript, which is a stack-based language, where you write code like: /Times-Roman findfont 12 scalefont setfont 42 84 moveto (Hello world) show showpage

Landlines didn't spy on people. Computers and Internet, well, depends on which OS you are on, but there are options that don't. What about smartphones? IMHO that's the big issue, not what they cost.
