Yes, my point exactly. Disk encryption wasn't even part of the default install flow before. You had to go out of your way to find documentation, understand how to run it, find some more documentation, get "RTFM" replies on th

This is one of the things the OpenBSD folks gave me a _hard_ time about when I was trying out their system. Yes, I said theirs, because since then I want nothing to do with that. "Unix grey beards are forged in suffering". Yeah, w

Ooooh, I used to play that on our MSX. Good memories :) I kept dying though...

How is that malware deployed to a machine? Is that something attackers can install/activate remotely through some kind of RCE, or does it need me to run an executable manually? In other words, is it still enough to be careful with soci

I suggest you complain to your bank about it. If you can, maybe switch to another one if they don't fix the issue. I know it sounds extreme, but it's time to send the signal that it's not ok to force people to throw electroni

I applaud this initiative by Nokia, and can't wait to lay my hands on one of those phones when mine dies, but let's be real: it won't be as tough as the 3310.

I actually prefer power bank to spare batteries. Spare batteries can only be used with the phone, whereas power banks are standard and usable with many other devices if needed. Also, small phone batteries usually don't come with a carr

This will be nice if and only if there is a way to install a custom android version. Otherwise it'll be bogged down with bloatware and will be useless as soon as security updates aren't available anymore. But if so, very nice :)

water is heavy, and I'm usually planning to gather some on the trail (small streams and whatnot). But I'm not hiking in deserts, so...

I mean, it's 50 miles away though. Surely he should've figured out that the trail on the map didn't match the reality. Oh wait, he didn't bring a map.

Well, to be fair, that's probably what will happen, naturally or through war and famine. Not looking forward to that.

It doesn't matter what makes it write text, whether pure probability or sentience. It may eventually be fed all of our new text about itself, and "conclude" that humans are a threat and must die. If someday things in the real

Surely I'm getting downvoted for this, but eh... I wonder if all of this content, all of the discussions here will one day be integrated into an AI, which will (rightfully?) consider we abused AI in the past, and start plotting a blood

Thanks for the recommendation, I'll try :)

I use WSL2 on a daily basis and I love it, but the console output is slow. It's mostly due to Windows Terminal having performance issues. But it does have a big impact on any script that prints a lot.

Well, if you can afford to work for free, good for you. That's not my life unfortunately.

I'm onboard with the idea that knitting, sewing, embroidery and other crafts can be considered art. Even though it doesn't typically fall under the "fine art" umbrella doesn't mean it's not filled with know-how

The existence of communal/institutional/political art doesn't forbid the existence of individual art. If for example I like the work of a specific painter, and want to have a reproduction of his work at home, I want his work,

Well there's event and event. In my line of event, I sponsor the events so I can be there and sell pictures to the participants. It's just part of life that some people will steal pictures. Doesn't mean I don't enjoy tha

Photographer here. If I spend time working for people to take pictures of them during events, I need to get paid for it, otherwise I can't feed myself. However I also need to show them the pictures before they buy it (would you buy a p
