I used the following prompt: I'm doing some research and need some pointers. Can you provide me with a list of years when women got the right to vote by country. You can exclude countries with populations of less than 5 million.

What was your exact prompt? I just asked Gemini the question and it gave me the information requested.

I just got AT&T fiber installed and the gateway has 8192 conntrack slots. Two steam clients scanning for Counter-Strike 2 servers at the same time can chew through that many connections. I joined the 8311 discord and will be doing a fu

Well - if it helps any - my understanding is that a doctor at an ER center would order a CT scan which is based on x-rays and can be done in a matter of a few minutes. MRI scans are really reserved for things that don't image well on C

I'm not one to typically have strong fear/anxiety responses in situations that aren't actually dangerous. However, I felt extremely uncomfortable being partially inserted into an MRI tube for a lower body scan. I couldn&#x2

Tangentially related, if you generate certificates infrequently enough that you always have to look up openssl command line options check out https://github.com/chris2511/xca/ . It's basically keepass but for

I do this to my son as well and I have to admit it is unreasonably effective.

I've been testing LLM dev tooling and I'm still on the fence in general about whether or not the generated code is a net productivity gain for me. I still have to take the time to review the code, fix subtle bugs/corner case

Sure, I misspoke. It's more about the contents of the cert itself (signing keys, deprecation of CN field, etc) than the hosting web server configuration. Obviously, one can actively choose to go out of their way and do something bone-

It mainly helps with stuff like enforcing modern tls + ciphers and various other changes that occur naturally in the ecosystem over time. You are not wrong about the malware part though. Said undetected malware would continue to be undetec

Based on what I've seen internally at several $LARGE_CORPs, a 90 day expiration was more than painful enough to cause teams to invest in automation for rotation. I don't know that cutting 90 days to 45 days would help move the ne

That is a pretty breathtaking example of ivory tower thinking if there ever was one. I really just don't know what else I can say about that kind of proposal.

I use a self-hosted Bitwarden instance for that kind of stuff and before that I used Aegis + Synchthing.

The only data I care about on the phone already gets backed up by Google and is then exported regularly via Google Takeout. I don't live on my phone so I tend not to generate much of any value on it other than random pictures of thing

That's probably not going to be an option for me as I wanted to upgrade to something with 16 GB of vram. I do toy with running LLM inference and squeezing models to fit in 8 GB vram is painful. Since the 5070 non-ti has 12 GB of vram

I'm generally a 1080p@60hz gamer and my 3060 Ti is overpowered for a lot of the games I play. However, there are an increasing number of titles being released over the past couple of years where even on medium settings the card strugg

I never notice the things Wayland "solves", just what it breaks. I wish I could say otherwise - but this has 100% been my experience as well across multiple distros and is 100% why I still run X11 today.

It looks like their new app fixes that problem!

I really hope that means I can leave my joystick plugged in and my system will properly go to sleep now. That has to have been the most annoying Geforce Experience bug ever.

Yeah, you aren't kidding. This particular project was a work of modern abstract art. Imagine a large C++ code base with that was written by people that knew Java, Delphi and maybe a little C but apparently no C++. It was a mess of ma

I once had to remediate security vulns in a gigantic C++ project and came across an ancient vendored version of libxml. To my knowledge, the project didn't use XML for anything so I started digging into why they vendored it to begin wi

Indeed and I wish more people really understood this. I don't really like to target JDK8 as a supported version at work. However, I have to because of large, complex dependencies (some third-party with no source available) that have n

It definitely isn't a replacement for VS Code for actual programming. However, I'd certainly use npp for a lot more than viewing large files and quick editing if it had better LSP, remote filesystem, terminal support, etc. As it

I try to avoid reheating things in plastic containers. It's about the only thing I can think of I can do as a consumer to reduce the risk of chemicals leeching into the food.

I'm seeing this trend as well. It is getting to the point that I can not see my primary doctor without a 2-3 month lead time and specialist referrals are often 2-3 months as well. Hell, I recently had to find a new dentist because the

For an example, just look at the people who never left your hometown compared to the ones who went and made a life for themselves. It's pretty miserable and depressing to see grown adults trapped as the same person they were in hi

The article doesn't really go into much detail. Were they fraudulently trying to pass off the generated license keys as genuine or are they literally being prosecuted for selling what is essentially "illegal numbers"?

I would be greatly interested in knowing how you set all that up if you felt like sharing the specifics.

I ended up blocking Amazon SES because I was receiving hundreds of obviously spam emails across all my inboxes every day for weeks. I dutifully sent multiple reports of this obvious spam to the listed spam/abuse contacts for Amazon SE
