I'm not up-to-date with the internals of tailscale, but my impression was they run additional services on top of the actual VPN (that is their "value-add" to wireguard), some of which are actual proxies, which hence blur that

It does do a fair amount of filtering of submissions, and it's a long term archive (e.g. for the next 100+ years). I suspect both (but with the former dominating) are the issue.

No, it's to be a pre-print server. If someone doesn't know what that means, then they shouldn't be using arXiv.

Is an SSH jump server a VPN (or forwarding a port from another machine at VPN)? I'd suggest neither are because it's connection-based rather than setting up a network (with routing etc). Absent a network, it's a proxy (which

No, it's not about whether masters or PhD, it's whether you did something new (the novelty aspect). It sounds to me that you did a coursework masters of some kind, which gave some basic literature analysis projects. This is like t

In what, that does not align at all with my experience in the sciences (where the point is the novelty, not summarise the literature)?

Where do you think they get the training data from ;) Galaxy Zoo has been used to train ML models for at least a decade, it's a standard dataset for intro to ML courses.

It's worth noting that while splitting the PKI hierarchies is a good thing, the CABF does provide rules S/MIME (email signing) and Code Signing. Also, "WebPKI" never actually appears in the BR documents from what I can s

The issue is corporate-managed systems are universally bad (with the endless cycle of something new coming in and being ruined), and so while in theory email can be great, the workflows to make it work inherently conflict with the corporate

How do you know you're more productive? Humans are excellent at fooling themselves, and absent a metric (or multiple metrics) by which you can measure your productivity, you can't be sure you're actually being more productive

I think back then PyPI was known as the cheeseshop, so there wouldn't have been the same confusion.

I'd genuinely be curious what fraction of those changes actually requires porting to other Python implementations. The free-threading changes are inherently interpreter specific, so we can ignore those. A significant change in Python 3

There's a difference between dead (i.e. "unmaintained") and low activity ("not under active development"). From what I can see PyPy is in the latter category (and being in that category does not mean it's going

Somewhat interesting that "volunteer project no longer under active development" got changed to "unmaintained".

You can in theory set TERMINFO with the terminfo definition, and you could skip faffing with terminfo files but it isn't passed or accepted by openssh by default. I've personally given up on using the various "modern"

Putting aside Ubuntu's/Canonical's failed custom projects (e.g. upstart), they have a history of shipping software that isn't ready and turning the community against it, with pulseaudio being the headline example. I&#x27

Also, the django ORM is fairly easy to extend, it's not like it was written as one big blob.

I'm aware of the different periods involved (I have a degree in astronomy), my point is that because the Russian Empire put off the switch for so long the difference became a historical joke. Similarly, I would suggest that it is gener

I personally wouldn't use dnsmasq for this (as its far more suited as a recursive server and DHCP provider with some basic authoritative records, rather than an authoritative-only server), but every open source authoritative DNS server

This definitely seems like a sensible starting option to generate 256 colours from a custom set of 8 (and then let the really pedantic users fiddle with the extended set). I would presume for "standard" themes these values would b

I think it depends on how you're interacting with the instance/server. I find the rust zulip much easier to follow than the k8s slack (or the lancer discord). I can see on a (much) quieter instance where it's a group of frien

It's not a technical problem, it's a policy problem from the mobile vendors. You'd basically be paying them to deal with Apple's and Google's messaging infrastructure through their (zulip's) infrastructure.
