As a user of free software I have the opposite bias. If a software is built around a community, which should be the case of free software, I think it's better if decisions are taken by asking the users, be it forum discussions, polls o

I think this should be the default behavior: as soon as you mount the torrent btfs start fetching it like any other torrent client. I use it mainly for streaming videos: btfs comes with a small python script "btplay <magnet>&quot

Setting a modest buffer size helps but does not solve this entirely. For example, turning on the subtitles or switching audio track will usually hang the player for a while.

I have been using btfs for years so I can answer. It can handle videos and other streamable formats if there are enough seeds: the connection is not usually a problem. The pieces are not downloaded strictly sequentially but using a sliding

I don't really understand the criticisms of Nix being non-standard or a hard to grasp language. The language is basically JSON with semicolons, scoping and lambda functions. It has a really minimal syntax and few built-in functions, it

GHC is notoriously large. The compiler itself is around 1.5GB (this includes documentation, static and dynamic libraries). To get an idea of the size of the bare-minimum system that's required to develop in language x, you can look at

There are many other reasons, I can think of: - Privacy concerns: the much higher density of antennas it requires will make geolocation really accurate. - Weather radars interference: no need to explain why this is bad. - Risk of proliferat

I'm still using it and very happy with it. It's showing his age but it still works well and it's very powerful: I'm not just blocking ads and trackers but I also have some fancy redirects and filters. I hacked together a

Apparently doubling the pressure allows two or maybe more patients to be hooked to the same ventilator with a kind of T-junction. In this situation you would only need an extra mask.

That's slighty better, I guess. It's still quite misleading if you are self-hosting a matrix homeserver, though.

Friendly reminder that meet.jit.si is not end-to-end encrypted. So, unless hosting your own instance, using the website or the videoconference integration in Riot means your conversation is routed through an Atlassian-owned server. See htt

The same has been proposed in NixOS [1]: basically updating nss, sqlite and other common dependencies for firefox requires recompiling tons of software, which in turn requires testing, especially in the case the update was a major one. NixO

What I'm more worried about are probe requests, because sometimes I forget to turn off the wifi. Do you know whether the MAC address, or other identifying data, is sent in this case?

This is actually what I'm doing. With some additional duct tape[1] I made privoxy work on https too. I run an instance for each host, though it could be possible to distribute a personal CA certificate. [1]: https://maxwell.

I wonder if we will ever get rid of the ludicrous limitation of the privileged ports. It's a mechanism that only provided some sense of security in the 80s. The W3C[1] says "if you connect to a service on one of these ports you ca

Why do you say stuck? What do you think is better at handling currency? I can think of integers (multiples of the smaller denomination) or fractions (which are quite slow), definitely not floats.

I was too wondering about how this could work in IPv6. There is no equivalent of RFC1918 for IPv6 and filtering link-local addresses won't do much as every host on the LAN is still adressable by its publicly routable address. These are
