Unfortunately, all Safari releases going forward (12 onwards) are removing APIs that allow uBlock Origin to do what it does. Apple are basically neutering _all_ blockers, unfortunately. I don't know if they're planning on filling

I'm not worried about Intel or AMD because x86_64 isn't the only ISA around. ARM and RISCV (amongst others) are doing quite well in terms of performance and power efficiency.

I'd be interested in the methodology and whether the following was taken into consideration: 1. Was the cache emptied before each test? (A lot of these sites would share scripts on CDNs) 2. What Firefox addons were enabled? (README say

I'm not an American, and the very idea that copyright can last so long and be this pervasive is shocking. It's nothing short of disgusting unethical behaviour from everyone involved.

Is there any real-world application for cryptocurrency, except for ICO scams and a colossal waste of power?

I'm hoping that addons will spring up due to the renewed development efforts. As it is, I'm just using Nextcloud (Calendar & Contacts) alongside Rainloop for mail.

Discord Canary on my linux PC is unusable. It "stutters" during scrolling, typing and any form of interaction with it. Is this what's expected from the app?

What most techies tend to do is put devices like that (Smart TV, IP cameras, etc) into their own VLAN with zero ability to "dial home". Frankly, the Internet of Shit scares me.

Have a look at KDE Plasma. They've added a lot of polish to it, and it's superb. It's been my daily driver for the last year or so, haven't had as much problems as I did with GNOME.

This is apparently common practise amongst data hoarders, especially after the flooding affected HDD production in Asia.

There's a few HVDC transmission lines around the world. There's one in my country[0] that goes between the 2 main islands. There have been some good advancements in ultra-high-voltage-direct-current (UHVDC) manufacturing, so hopef

I'd love to see RISC-V become a huge presence, but ARM IP seems a lot more refined & hassle-free. A bit similar to Linux/FOSS not having any decent CAD alternative to proprietary ones.

r/the_donald is still around, so this so called "move" is a bit worthless.

The Vita was harder to 'break' than the PS4, apparently. It's only recently been pwned.

For these workloads, I would consider a compiled language with great parallelism/concurrency. e.g Rust or GoLang.

Similar, but slightly unrelated (SSH keys), I find this one of the best resources to look at: https://wiki.mozilla.org/Security/Guidelines/OpenSSH

>but I would love to know the RF quality of the resulting waveform. Technically it works, but it's very noisy and the transmission range isn't far enough for anything too serious. A full duplex SDR would be a better investment.

Most home networking gear I've come across are basically MVP (minimum viable product) only. I've managed to trivially bypass quite a few via using common techniques in whitepapers/research docs (hardcoded admin passwords stor

I've found Stow central in getting my preferred setup up and running quickly, as well as using Ansible to setup all the binaries/utils that I require. Although I'm looking at NixOS now ... It is a never-ending cycle, it seems

Have you checked the headers that these site(s) are sending/receiving? There's usually a couple of indicators in them that point towards whatever tech stack is running.

There doesn't seem to be active development on KeePass/KeePassX, hence the KeePassXC fork. The C in the fork title apparently stands for 'community'. It has a lot of support behind it.

So glad the Sky-Voda merger was declined. Two shit companies coming together like that can only mean one hell of a monopoly.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I was under the assumption that Konami shuttered all their console games to focus on pachinko machines because the profit margins are just too delicious to pass up.

Yeah, which is why I'm toying with using ulid identifiers, which won't face timestamp issues until around 10900 AD. Source here: https://github.com/alizain/ulid/

Ironically, google have stopped enabling me to create gmail accounts because my phone number has been used too many times for activation. Doesn't matter anymore, I self-host as much as I can anyway.
