Jamon like most other Spanish hams (even the most expensive kind) has added nitrites. AFAIK Prosciutto Di Parma is the only expensive ham that's dry cured without any nitrites or other additives/preservatives besides salt.

qbittorrent is rock solid, performant (libtorrent puts libtransmission to shame), light on resources, has a great webui (if you don't want to run in desktop mode) and is programmable and featureful. I don't see this as coming clos

The title is misleading, this seems like a toy and not at all like Wireshark since it doesn't do dissection. ntopng ( https://www.ntop.org/products/traffic-analysis/ntop/ ) is much more featureful than sni

Still -being a realist- hoping that Ukraine quickly yields so we don't end up in WW3. Something has to give, and if history is any guide, it won't be the Russians.

Rust (and Go) is absolutely the wrong language for this. I've done pretty much everything you described in Ocaml and Lua in a quarter of the time.

I imagine you would get a lot of blank stares with that POV, at least from folks with working bullshit detectors (like young kids that haven’t been conditioned to “modern” industry practices). I found the article a great example of the kind

Prompted on your reply, I finished reading the article. It seems like the author is arguing from false premises in that he's desperately trying to come up with a justification for consciousness that is not tied to epiphenomenalism (I l
