Absolutely, a more interesting tidbit is this - Telecom companies cannot take small subscribers to court in India. You don't pay your bills, they can send legal notices, but not much beyond that. We have ~1B+ subscribers. Even if a sma

Unrelated - I use kagi too! I was watching a supervised learning series on YouTube by Killian Weinberger here [0] and he used an email from kagi as an example of spam. [0] https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLl8OlHZGYOQ7bkVbu

I'm in my 40s and I started a machine learning degree in Nov 2020, so it's been about 1.5 years for me till now. I am a slow learner and my recommendations may reflect the same. 1) Maths (precalculus and calculus) - I started with

I should have phrased this as a question, instead of being dismissively declarative. >If, upon hearing that "ripgrep can replace grep," you actually hear, "ripgrep can be used in every instance grep can be used, in exactly

I don't like find. Nor do I like vi (not vim, vi) and/or maybe others. I don't wish to stamp on someone's parade who's more accomplished than I am. But I think these "new" tools miss the point. I use vi be

I always thought we couldn't have our own mail clients with services like ctemplar and protonmail. Will have to recheck.

I went all in ~1 month ago after using on servers since late 2000s. My findings: 1) can't have something like a /var mounted on iscsi. The Rd kernel doesn't support it. 2) help for DEs is patchy. In my example XFCE behaves di

As someone who is approaching mid 40s and has gone back to college, I would say I disagree with you. Ed tech is a problem yes, because you get only 1 kind of content on a single platform. But in general, computers have given me access to so

Please correct me if I'm wrong. Aren't binaries in /sbin and /usr/sbin statically linked as opposed to no requirement like this for files living in /bin and /usr/bin? I always thought the rationale wa

On OpenBSD, some of the scripts or utils (mandoc) are written in Perl because the developers prefer it. There have been some email chains on the mailing lists about having Perl in base. Most of them are interesting to read.

Pardon my ignorance, I'm slightly technically challenged. But isn't this something similar to ceph cluster or maybe HAMMER2 with an explorer/fileman utility wrapped around it?

Thank you. One learns something new everyday. And I feel humbled by most comments I read here. I did look up OpenBSD pf again, and it too does port knocking in the kernel. My information was dated (left the misc mailing list at least 5 year

The folks at OpenBSD Misc do not recommend port knocking. IIRC one of the reasons stated was a possibility of getting locked out of your own server. I tried looking up the relevant thread, but am on the phone.

I usually avoid posting here as I see far more intelligent people on this forum. Since you asked for conjecture... I'd recommend Caspian Report's video [1] first. Secondly, if we look at Cuban missile crisis, US had a strong react
