Interesting! Thanks. I had no idea the standard SSH client was so eager.

by gspr 11mo ago
Sure. But if it can decrypt at 40 kbps, then this won't be the bottleneck.

That's a good question. But it's not like English is at all logical in this way ;)

From where I sit (in Norway), it seems to have become standard corporate-speak in any company where English is widely used. They've even started using the directly translated noun "læring" in Norwegian, too. It's equally

I've always wondered: has there been any effort to implement a PoW challenge like that at a lower level? I.e., TCP but the handshake requires solving a challenge, otherwise the connection is just closed? It seems like something that co

This all seems to be criticism of how Debian chooses to build packages. You may well be right in some of it. But I fail to see where contradicting documentation comes in.

by gspr 1y ago
What's wrong with the primary documentation?
378.
by gspr 1y ago
Are you sure you're not conflating documentation with random people's writings on the web? Because that there seems to be a helluva lot of cargo culting on this topic.

Yes. Did you read mine? I do realize you mean to critique anti-vaxxers. That's good. But the way you paint measles as a minor inconvenience in the west is really bad.
