You can also combine that with a DNS-level ad-blocking pseudo-VPN running on the device (like a pi-hole but without the pi). That gets rid of most in-app ads and a ton of tracking.

Why do you assume -std=c++20? The code is written for C++17, and compiles just fine for that.

Something like this? https://godbolt.org/z/6nod5e . It even produces almost identical assembly. The equivalent to checked_mul is __builtin_mul_overflow, which is a compiler builtin: https://gcc.gnu.org/o

Several few decades ago, pointer chasing was much cheaper because the difference between an arithmetic operation and a memory access was far lower. CPUs in those times didn't even have caches (because they weren't needed). That ma

It integrates with the system password manager interface but it's sometimes a bit slow to start. I think the problem is that it updates the passwords every time it is opened instead of relying on cached copies. Other than that it works

It's mostly cautionary but a problem for forest management because it means that the radioactivity of game has to be checked and it often can't be sold. I've eaten the mushrooms in question (self-picked) and would do it again

France is investing heavily: "By 2028, the European Union’s second-largest economy wants to double installed renewable electricity capacity to up to 113 GW, compared to 2017." https://ieefa.org/france-boosts-rene

"Utilizing 28.36% of installed capacity" is what the linked map says about solar right now. I just rewound the slider to 8pm yesterday and it says "35% renewable".

"Base load" doesn't really exist any more. Yes, there's a minimum below which demand almost never dips, but the implication of base load is that this should be produced by the type of power plants that provide a continuo

Your use of "green energy ayatollahs" tells me you're more interested in ranting than debate. Yet even in the current low-wind, low-sun scenario, 37% of German electricity is from renewable sources according to your link. You

It's well known that coal exhaust isn't fairy dust, but it doesn't pose a storage problem [edit: on the scale of millenia], so your argument amounts to whataboutism.

How do you suggest enforcing that root can't write to a LUKS swap partition? Root knows the key, root can write to block devices, what's stopping me from disabling swap and writing a backdoored image to the partition with a user-s

Well, the parent was talking about their even older DSLR and their equally modern phone, so I'm not sure what your point is. Nobody is claiming that a 2020 phone is anywhere close to a 2020 (or 2015, for that matter) DSLR or mirrorless

I can't relate to this at all. I have a Canon EOS 450D (Rebel XSi, 2008 model year) with a few lenses that I used to love, but haven't really used for years now. Its low light performance sucks, it's almost impossible to phot
