Yep, it works great. The only caveat is that to load non-mainline drivers (e.g. VirtualBox or Nvidia) you need to enroll a Machine Owner Key (MOK) and then use it to sign the driver. In Ubuntu/Debian the mokutil process is streamlined

That's a minor point. The fact that eth.link seems to have a public suffix list [1] type status stands, so HN should display abc.eth.link as abc.eth.link (not eth.link), just like abc.github.io is shortened to abc.github.io (not github

Yes, I confirmed last night that Settings -> Google -> COVID-19 Exposure Notifications was off. (Aside, I read somewhere but have not confirmed this myself that manually enabling that setting leads to a flow for installing the gov.ma.

Yep, same here -- no AAAA record for v4.icanhazip and no A record for v6.icanhazip . The documented interfaces were ipv4/ipv6 though https://major.io/icanhazip-com-faq/ and {v4,v6}.icanhazptr.com have both A and A

Thanks for all your hard work! icanhazip.com / icanhazptr.com have been incredibly useful. Small feature request: back in the day {ipv4,ipv6}.{icanhazptr,icanhazip}.com only had A / AAAA records, but now it seems they have both an

How good is Firefox sandboxing these days? Last time I looked it was years behind Chrome's, but site isolation is definitely a step in the right direction. It would be sad if one day Chromium removed Manifest v2 and there was no altern

I just tried it and the tool started downloading Windows without giving me an option to select an .iso. It can download .iso's for burning them to DVD's but I don't think it can take dangling .iso's and make installation

Media Creation Tool requires internet access, so you can't just flash a Windows .iso that you have independently downloaded from microsoft.com. Of course, you can always prepare the correct disklabel yourself, use a BOOTSECT.EXE incant

Not sure what you mean here. Opening the original link in an incognito window yields full text of the article (maybe you are out of free articles, and they are counting?) Submitting articles to archive.is or archive.org serves the important

Minting implies exercising seigniorage authority, whereas mining physical commodities is naturally distributed (no central authority). The latter term is much more appropriate to describe issuance-via-PoW.

Sure, not using iMessage means missing out on certain social interactions but so does not using Facebook, for example. Life can't be played optimally.

I am sure it is uBlock + uMatrix that's giving you the boost. I use both and whenever I open a regular website in Incognito mode (in case uMatrix ruleset adjustment would be too consuming for a one-off) you can feel the fans spinning u

Yup! From https://cr.yp.to/ecdh.html > How do I validate Curve25519 public keys? > Don't. The Curve25519 function was carefully designed to allow all 32-byte strings as Diffie-Hellman public keys. (minor exceptio

Debian uses the Condorcet method for elections https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Condorcet_method . Each voter is to rank a subset of all options, and this is the resulting pairwise preference graph.
