It is related to the politics of getting anything changed though. Does America venerate "the good old days"? Farmers aren't allowed to repair their tractors. Does America venerate her military? Soldiers aren't allowe

In most western countries the mail is the official way to reach you. Court, legal, tax, etc documents will all come via the national post. That’s a large part of why they’re protected, we don’t have a good mechanism to replace this. At t

That's my understanding. It's how the OS accounts for the overhead that's unavailable. So if kernel_task is using 20% leaving 80% for userland, what's actually happening is your cpu is throttled to 80%. It's also

This is what Private Relay changes. They're not choosing to be suspicious. Right now, if you're eligible, you're opted in by default. So you end up either deciding that mac/ios users are suspicious by default, or you

So many conversations like this wouldn't have existed if the internet had been designed for zero-trust from day one. Imagine if all icmp / igmp had the possibility to sign requests.

That's beautiful. I'm not sure I'd have had a clue what just happened even if it was me making the typo.

That's a tough cookie to solve. So here's the hypothetical. I create a trashware game app. Typical low-hanging fruit. I set it as a handler for amazon.com links. Then in my app I handle these links in a convincing web containe

Same issue here. Because I'm exercising my freedom of movement, I'm apparently not allowed an opinion on said freedom.

These aren't always mutually exclusive. An example would be the English Channel between the UK & France. It's impossible to transit it without entering someone's territorial waters, but freedom of navigation / UNCL

I’m not sure “norms” are avoidable. How many posts do we see to various github issues where people haven’t been “delighted” with the maintainer’s response? We are highly defensive of the rights that floss/copyleft licences grant us, b

It makes sense to me. There's a line between preserving it and enjoying it. We've had plenty of similar problems in the UK with staycation-ers enjoying their first trip out into the lake district, and leaving behind their empty

That would seem like it's a stereotype for a reason, but at the beginning of all this mess, we had plenty of tourists (Ireland) who .. weren't malicious about it, they just ran on the assumption that restrictions were for everyone

I know you said you don't care about camping, but I have to point out it's simply not as big a problem as people like to imagine either. I take a battery to charge my phone for maps anyway. The big difference between charging my

I did ask an Icelander about this. We were on one of those walking tours, and the topic came up - and I have to admit I was almost entirely unaware of this. (As a brit who travels, the topic is a familiar unfamiliarity, if that makes sense

My favourite trivia on this topic is an interesting take on neutrality. POWs - generally shipwrecked sailors or downed airmen - were treated pretty well. Which makes sense, they weren't POWs as we'd usually think of them, but ju

I strongly disagree. If wikimedia choose to move their official presence to another network, it seems perfectly legitimate to inform legacy presences of the same. And it's certainly in the better interests of the community. Going to o

I really don't think that's going to fly. People are concerned that you don't have the community's best interests at heart. Your actions say you don't have the community's best interests at heart. All this lawy

The best I can piece together so far: * freenode was run by elected volunteers. * Lee stepped in to sponsor/fund the Freenode Live events * Some assets were sold/transferred to Lee in the process of this * Former staff admin leave

We're over 10 years into dealing with piracy in & around the gulf of Aden. Boarding ships happens more in peacetime than wartime.

The irony for me is that they're not being asked to learn something new, they're being asked to learn something vintage. A full modern gnome/KDE desktop environment might be a lot more user-friendly than, eg, blackbox - but t

It doesn't change much. If you have to jump through a VPN to get there, they can make a very reasonable claim that they're not targetting or serving the european market. It doesn't have to be bulletproof, it just has to supp

My favourite is systems that exit a walk early, leaving subtrees you'll never find unless you start the walk specifically within that tree.

The common joke is that "simple network management protocol" is four lies, so I'd assume you're in the right direction.

There's a relatively low cost to having this merged as it becomes available. It's not like x86 distros will be building it into their kernel.

While I personally agree, ownership should be explicit - their defence isn't as silly as it looks. "reasonable belief" is an actual mechanism in english law (the system, not the nation), and the learned behaviours of "b

I've seen nothing to indicate different products have different clock speeds? So far we're seeing two differentiators. One is the use of the 7-GPU bin to hit the bottom-of-the-range price point for each product family. The other

"in all the three cases" is mildly interesting, as 232 commits have been reverted from these three actors. To my reading this means they either have a legitimate history of contributions with three red herrings, or they have a di

I have to admit, I can completely understand how submitting source code patches to the linux kernel doesn't sound like human testing to the layman. Not to excuse them at all, I think the results are entirely appropriate. What they&#x2
