How easy is it to disable DeepSeek's distributed FS? Say for example a US college has been authorized to use DeepSeek for research, but must ensure no data leaves the local research cluster filesystem? Edit: I am a DeepSeek newbie BTW,

It's natural for busy people in chaotic environments to misspeak. Our brains are doing many things at once while also trying to convey an idea/thought verbally. It's a side effect of stress/pressure/multi-tasking. I

Gary Stevenson (UK economist and author of the Trading Game) has a good explanation for this. Both his book and YouTube videos. In short, everyone (governments and ordinary people) are insolvent and in debt to ultra-rich people (especially

For the author... you may export/backup the TOTP secret from the TOTP app (MS Authenticator in this example) and save that someplace secure. You may use any TOTP app with that secret to generate codes to log in. I typically do this as

Exactly. Just don't commit crimes and don't use a phone/computer to commit crimes thinking you will get away with it. It doesn't work, they know who you are and what you did. It's really simple.

It's hard for me to believe that people actually think they can use Signal or some other 'security app' on a device that is fundamentally compromised already. Sure, your messages are encrypted, but they (whoever they are) hav

This is a pretty neat idea. I like it. However, the inaccuracy of IP geolocation services causes some Amazon AWS IPv6 addresses to appear to be located outside the US when they are not. I continue to believe that half (or more) of all secur

The cost of dealing with remote employees who are not contributing as they should falls on the agencies. That's not insignificant. By requiring everyone to return, that cost is eliminated (or at least much less). IMO, in-person, on-sit

Off topic... Taiwan also machines and heat treats some of the best cutlery steels in the world. Taichung City is famous for this. This is not as delicate a process as producing CPU chips, but it is hard to get right consistently. Most all m

Y'all is efficient. It is just one syllable. Asking the question, "Y'all eat?" Is twice as fast compared to, "Did you all eat?" Of course, I use it because I'm from the south eastern US, not because it&#x2

Knowledge-based access (something only stored in your head) has Constitutional protection in the United States. The same is probably not true for physical things such as phones and YubiKeys stored in your pocket. Not that I worry about that

I pay for VPN service with a credit card in my name that I have had for years. I'm not trying to hide the fact that I occasionally use a VPN. The ISP sees the tunnel, the websites I visit see the VPN IP, netflow logs the time, duration

IMO, you should always completely separate your work devices from your personal devices. Only do company work on the company device. Never use your personal device to do or store company stuff. If you use your personal devices to do company

How much storage would you need to store every text message ever sent by everyone on earth indefinitely? Has anyone done the math on that? I'm not sure it's possible without some infinite storage system (that obviously does not ex
