Yes! Just take a lot of photos over a couple minutes (depending on how busy your scene is) from a fixed position, or just a video if you're lazy, then use imagemagick and combine them using "median" (NOT average). It's n

Green screen? Yes, it still requires some effort (buy and set up the actual screen, proper lighting), but I doubt a proper green screen setup would be outperformed by some AI system any time soon: Got a shitty cam? AI would have to fix that

Idk, it wasn't much more annoying than the 400th person chiming in with a "me too" before that. I already might have completely missed a comment explaining the situation between all these. Actually those animated gifs might h

The bribe ends up in your pocket, the credible alternative only serves the general public.

I think not being a real multi-user OS would have lead to trouble sooner or later, if it wouldn't have felt so unfinished in the first place. This was at the dawn of the internet, so you didn't really think about privilege separat

I tackled that project about two years ago. Asked around and a friend had an old laptop with FW port, so I installed Ubuntu on it and copied all my old Video8 and Digital8 Tapes.

You still need a VPS or server of some kind, but if the "screen with irssi/weechat" concept sounds too much like 80s UNIX, there is quassel[1]. It's like a relay/proxy/bouncer but actually uses its own protocol

Yeah sure, they waste money on building these things and then not bother to put people in there for quarantine. Great that these claims always come with no links to any halfway credible source. Just like a few days ago this guy claiming in

It was consensus between colleagues/friends. And because you still need to trust open source software as well. I certainly don't have the time to review the code, and the "somebody else will do a thorough code review" fa

Exactly my first thought. I like Threema and one of the reasons I was an early adopter is that the founder worked on m0n0wall before, an OSS firewall that I used for a long time, in contrast to it being just some guy I never heard of. It ma

Didn't mean you said it is. Just wanted to go further with that thought from my perspective, because I assume the majority of users on here are from the US and thus might not immediately see why this whole situation isn't as easy

2 infected in Russia seems to confirm what you say. ;-)

Which isn't that easy, since the world isn't black and white. And do I even care about morals, or mostly just about my personal data? As an American it's probably easy to make a choice here, but as a 3rd party I'm not so

Yes, after the 737-MAX I absolutely want more computers, AI, blockchain, cloud, microservices, HTTP/3 and big data in the planes I'm boarding.

I've been on the internet for so long that I genuinely don't know whether this person is serious or trolling hard. Also that person chiming in calling Jimmy anti-capitalist cracked me up. Oh an OT: WTF is a cashtag? I'm not u

There have been several issues over time. My general problem with it was complexity. What finally broke the camel's back for me was that for unexplained reasons, sssd stayed in "offline mode" after system standby for 30-60 se

I read it that the person got sick after the visit to Wuhan but recovered from that before the visit to OP. Hence 3+ days should be enough to rule out a possible infection of OP with whatever the scientist had. Since they traveled to Wuhan

Same here. That's usually the kind of videos I watch, cause I'm not that interested in seeing benchmarks of the latest RGB memory sticks, or any other memory sticks, GFX cards, headphones for that matter. When I saw his LAN gaming

If he's been symptom free for 3+ days then no.

It sounds like enterprisey RedHat trash. Probably for better Active Directory integration, hence only CIFS is mentioned but not NFS. And they might actually achieve this there, since SSSD is another abomination that kinda does that and most

Maybe add an error message if ipapi.co isn't reachable. uBlock blocked it on my end, and all I see is the "learn how it works" link, and above that is invisible text saying "Browser Timezone" and "IP Timezone&q

Somewhat OT: Can someone enlighten me why exactly we need to "speed correct" them in the first place? It always struck me as odd that those old b/w clips were often shown playing too fast on TV. Isn't it more like they w

Oh dear god. Because it's git related, my brain somehow still tries to make sense of that stuff because it just seems so real.

This is pretty interesting and shows you shouldn't try to pull any sort of stunts if you're not a crypto expert. I've actually wondered before whether md5 + sha1 would result in something stronger than those two used individu

Imo the model of those Australian scientists from a few days ago forecasting 75k infections in China by Feb. 4th was pretty spot on. Official numbers in China right now are 17k infections plus 21k estimated unreported cases.[1] Let's a

I wouldn't even call this a Chinese trait exclusively. It's definitely more pronounced there, but when didn't governments and companies all over the world lie about mishaps until it wasn't possible to hide the truth anym

You got any sources for that b/s? Like the hospitals being almost finished resorts? They are building these things from the ground up, there was nothing there, you could even see this in those live streams, from multiple camera angle

Huh, does mTCP ship an ssh client now, or are you building it yourself?
