This mostly sounds pretty scary. Over flatpaks and snaps, I choose Nix. I really don't want to shove everything I do into per application containers. Actually, every single bullet point they mentioned is solved in NixOS. Distinct packa

Radio waves can easily hit miles of coverage. The alignment of highly directional radio antennas can be very difficult. When it rains (or even just windy) performance can vary dramatically. Lasers are even more directional, which is good fo

I was ready to be angry. However using gas that would have been burned or vented anyway doesn't seem so bad. Of course this makes it so there is no incentive to close these vents completely.

This is called pump and dump. It is illegal to do on the stock market.

There are many good reasons for IPv6 nat. Security is not one of them at all. There is no security gained from IPv6 nat, in fact some may even be lost. I think this page has a bunch of good examples on when IPv6 nat is useful: https:/

There is nothing really you can do. Verizon FiOS in NYC does not support IPv6 and does not have it on any public road maps. So I'm in the same boat 1gbps symmetric without native IPv6. But Verizon FiOS does have IPv6 else where, includ

I would argue that having that flow would also require a database and heavily reduce the usefulness for new users / experimenters.

Interesting idea, I like it. The biggest problem I see is that this is going to (eventually) be used by spammers. I can send a mail with a FROM anywhere with a link. That link will be advertising for something, and your service will mail it

If you lived in a vacuum, your dollar a day is not impactful. But let's look at the US alone. The 2020 census says there are 258 million adults over the age of 18. If all of them followed your model then that would be 95 billion dollar

Where are you located? In NYC we use black tar to seal the roof, but then it is painted silver or white. You almost never see an actual black or dark colored roof. https://maps.app.goo.gl/HwyKfFLkyFuKdWPt5

Yes, it would, and it would absorb more heat. It would then radiate that heat and the paint would reflect it. If the glass gets dirty to the point that it is fully covered then it would have no benefit. But if it is dirty where say 20% of l

My first thought was that dirt would immediately make this useless. But since we are only talking about heat from radiation and not convection then putting a layer of glass above it would solve most of that issue. Bonus points if the paint

I really dislike crypto, but you're incorrect about the stock market. Stock used to have real value, but most stock these days does not pay dividends. The relationship of the price of the stock is completely devorced from the company i

pre-rendered tiles is expensive, vector data less so. The entire OSM working data set for NA is ~12GB. NY State is ~500MB. Most countries and states are under 100MB. Daily deltas are usually well under 1MB. Tile servers are great for web ap

They are just distributing OSM data, which has many things including park, city, nation borders. And even includes more data then google, bing, and apple maps in some cases. However while business and store data is there, it is also the mos

Windows XP... I cannot tell if you are trolling or not. It hasn't received patches in 10 years, so having it connected to the internet at all is a bigger problem than it's lack of tls1.3 support.

This is pretty amazing. I don't mind Reddit ads, but the official interface leaves a lot to be desired. This one is so very smooth, and solves all the issues I have with official reddit. Very well done, I hope the project continues.

Since Bitcoin allows for storing small amounts arbitrary data in a transaction. Seems like an attack vector is to put illegal content into the Blockchain.

For me personally, the fact that even a simple node project will have well over 1000 dependencies is a problem. Slightly more complex projects will have more than 10k dependencies. Auditing is nearly impossible. The complete lack of a stand

Toyota may have been the people who pioneered Just in Time, but there are also one of the few car manufacturers that actually had a stock pile of components. They realized that supply chain disruptions are too damaging not to have a cache.

You missed what he was saying. Nix solves this problem in multiple different ways. One of which is packaging, but also the entire /nix/store is mounted read-only. A sudo pip install would have no ability to break the system or rem

I am fairly sure you are incorrect. But TPM information and documentation are unfortunately almost always behind a NDA. It makes pointing to definitive information difficult.

by georgyo 5y ago
The whole point of a TPM is to reduce the possibility of a backdoor. And you do own the private key in a TPM, what makes you think you do not. Do you "own" the private key on a U2F device or a yubikey or a tensor? The special sauc

The TPM is not part of the CPU... It is a completely separate chip. Your point stands that many older computers had no incentive to include a TPM, and as such did not. Microsoft is doing the right thing by providing the stick to make hardwa

.com domains NEVER cost $75/year. In the 90s bad (but popular) registrars like Network Solutions got away with massive markups. Registrars are still allowed to add a markup, just there is so much competition that doesn't really ha
