Caution: you may end up with your packets blackholing on the way for unknown reasons after temporary loss of connectivity. I think it might have something to do with the NAT forgetting about my UDP "connection", but haven't f

Nitpickery, but in the mathematical notation A = B is not an assignment (and is exactly the same as B = A). Assignment is more clearly written as A := B, but I never saw this as a maths thing, but as a programming convention.

If you find yourself in a state of emergency, you might be out of luck if you don't own a SIM card registered to your own name, plugged into a modem which you cannot fully control by law. BTW, if you want to make a call over the teleph

I made a similar thing that's done using KDE's focus signals, forwarded from kwin over dbus. The benefits of using kwin's signals are that it potentially works also on Wayland. The downside is that it only works on KDE. I use

I think the big deal here is that Rust is the best language choice for many tasks among the languages an average coder might know. For me, it's taken over a whole bunch of tasks for which I'd have whipped out Python before, which

Dealing with typos at runtime is a waste of intellectual effort, and yet no one claims Python is unsuitable for high level projects because of that. There's a big gap between "not perfect" and "unsuitable".

I think describing Rust as a "systems language" in this context is pigeonholing it, and limiting your options. Rust can be used as a Python replacement despite not sharing some of its properties. It's a matter of choosing the

Hm, considering X-COM, the only missing important piece is 5. Non-modal. Hack-n-slash and grid/turn-based are not inherent to the X-COM genre, and are broken only in geoscape anyway. There's also a bunch of low-value factors there

What is the point of the effort though? It doesn't seem to me that the user is gaining a whole lot from an almost exact rewrite of some apps that already existed. They don't need to be fast to use, so there's nothing to gain

It's not paradoxical at all, net neutrality also protects from bad effects kicking in long-term. Zero-rating is effectively the same as providing dumping prices compared to the competition. It may benefit the customer now, but leads to
