Many far-right organizations encourage their members to join the military whilst keeping their affiliations secret, mainly for training and spying. However, I'm sure they would love to sow disarray in the military if it meant achieving

Why don't pirates switch to I2P? I know it's slow, but doesn't the speed go up the more high-bandwidth users and relay operators there are? Or am I missing something? Is it just inertia that's keeping everybody on non-I2

I'm not anti-tax, but a better way would be to stop subsidizing sugar production so much. Less subsidies would drive up prices, making a tax redundant. However, since that's only federally, it's less attractive. States would

It's probably rare, but I speak from experience (specifically with the game "Inherit the Earth: Quest for the Orb"). Installed with DOSBox, worked fine; when opened in DOSBox-X, graphics were all screwed up, and all the setti

I don't know why they don't provide a deb, but assuming all the build dependencies are installed, converting the rpm via Alien works fine. Also, be aware if you are using your existing DOSBox directory: games that require installa

Is it even possible to win this battle? Things like this keep coming up year after year, whittling down opposition; then once in place, it is 10x as hard to overturn, aka effectively impossible. I feel as though the only thing we can do is

It's probably because nitrocellulose is very hard to put out. It can burn underwater, so a little rain wouldn't bother it.

Found this awhile ago when researching if there were any diesel wankel engines. Glad to see it's got some updates. On a related note, does anybody know of DARPA-funded projects that eventually become consumer-grade? It seems that cool

It's worked on and off for me in the past. Most likely, it's a bug; however, they also have a history of A/B testing, so that can't be ruled out.

For the release of the 2.x versions: instability, removal of functionality for the same license, lack of downgrade rights[5], required connection to Symless servers[1][2] (including storing machine profile data). Compounded by the upgrade f

I would recommend the fork, Barrier, over Synergy. Synergy had bad practices with their 2.0 release a few years ago, so much so that they were forced to go back to working on the 1.x versions.

Thankfully - article update - since the Firefox version is maintained separately by LiCybora, that maintainer has split off[1]. What confuses me is that the original author, jspenguin2017, has showed up, and is helping a bit with the backen

Given that T2 is basically and ARM processor + other stuff, I wonder if it's possible to have a separate dump kernel, like OpenVMS. Some watchdog that runs on the chip, and either gracefully shuts down or handles a kernel crash.
