Well, they were always an option, but becoming less so. Increasingly financial aid from the west and trade agreements are bound to "IP protection", meaning the protection of the scientific publishing racket at the expense of scien

That is a new round of FUD from the predatory publishing industry. On balance, open access helps the developing world far more and costs less: Because access to journal and conference articles is now possible. Before open access, article fe

WSL1 mostly had problems due to the layering violations and poor design decisions in the windows kernel and low level system libraries. E.g. filesystem functionality like "what constitutes an acceptable filename?" or "is that

Maybe a stupid redundant slightly offtopic question, but I'll ask anyways: What is the best way to couple Ansible with some git repository to automatically apply changes while still being able to trace and debug?

Not quite. Weapon use would be possible as "Rechtfertigender Notstand", https://dejure.org/gesetze/StGB/34.html . This doesn't just include protection of ones own life, but also of property. However

As it says: unarmed. Your job as an unarmed guard is to complement the alarm system with your eyes and ears, and if something is amiss, press the alarm button and get out of there. Which is what they did. The article makes it sound like sec

Same problem as for document signatures, one needs a trustworthy timestamping service certifying the time of signature, so the client may check if the whole certificate chain might have been valid at the time. This means that you need far m

Theoretically. Practically, that legal theory is just a smokescreen for the willingness of the government to overlook any misdeeds by the secret services. Prosecutors and courts got the hint and didn't investigate any further. However,

Of course they'll share it. First, non-citizens are usually even less protected than citizens. Second, secret services are also extralegal services as long as they can get away with it. Third, if they get caught, they won't be pun

It really depends on where you end up and what the local culture is around food, cooking and restaurants. I've been to places where restaurants are stellar, but I've also been where you would only get dogfood. Where, when asking l

The solution is to make pedestrians afraid of stepping into the bike lane. Pass them quickly, closely and surprisingly, if they run into something in the process all the better.

As a basement-dweller myself, I also got a few ticks from my cat. He collects them in his fur, comes inside to feed, sleep and cuddle, and sometimes a tick decides that I'm yummier than the cat. Dog-owners do report the same problem, a

There is a tried and proven modern way to do what you claim moskitos are important for: vaccinations.

I'd even argue that you always always want to use some common webserver or proxy (nginx, apache, haproxy, ...) on 80/443 proxying to the application running on 127.0.0.1:8080. Why? Multiple reasons: - Unified TLS config and certif

Control is one argument, but I'd go with the money argument: All the big cloud providers like Google and AWS as well as the small ones like Hetzner do have an incentive to keep IPv4 going as long as possible. They can charge a premium
