Bittorrent over Tor is generally discouraged. It's _very_ easy to accidentally de-anonimize yourself, and while the Tor network benefits from people casually browsing the Web to provide anonimity for others, large amounts of Bittorrent

Anna's Archive has a blog where they describe their infra. They have multiple DNS names, each of which might map to a subset of backend servers from different providers. So in theory if Cloudflare cooperates, at least one of the provid

Right. Going back to the original message though, this doesn't say anything about whether or not this is the right path. It's definitely a path.

French has "verlan", which is when you swap some of the syllables of a word to give it a slang or "street" vibe. The world "verlan" itself is verlan for "envers" ("in reverse")

Cache takes X number of cycles to return a result You can make X lower by reducing the frequency (= having each cycle be longer) But apart for that, the main reason big chips would clock slower is power, not timing. If you have a lot of tra

It doesn't sound too hard to generate an RSA "vanity key", with any value you want for some of the bytes. You can't control _all_ of the bytes, because it still needs to have the right structure and for you to have the c

Do you have any weird plugins or addons by any chance (maybe even antimalware or other malware that you might not have installed explicitly)? It's strange that it wouldn't report this as a crash. They're normally pretty good

I have it from the horse's mouth that some doctors are already experimenting with it regularly (GPT-4, not ChatGPT). It's not always right, but medicine is about memorizing unreasonable amounts of information, and the bot sometime

There's different sources of failures, and when you start claiming 11 nines of durability, you really have to go and think about all the different possible causes of failure. So it's not just a flat continuous rate, it's a su

Statistics can do that. "If we were only X% durable, what are the odds we would have made it so far with no data loss?" Then pick a threshold p value you like and that X% will be a reasonably confident estimate If other words if y

I love that Lean completely destroys any suspicion of crackpottery. There's a common trope of internet comments where you see people say they went off and did their own thing from first principles, pointedly avoiding existing work and

It certainly is. And every time a program is forced to have the crash reporting be opt-in because of the region I live in, I sing Ode to Joy. Don't get me wrong I'm no invasive telemetry enthusiast. But I wouldn't mind being

The newer versions of Windows seem to care less and less about what the user prefers. This is emblematic in the message boxes that offer a choice between Yes and Not Now/Maybe Later. It takes real effort to make Windows accept a No.

That works for pre-roll ads, forcing the client to silence them and wait at best (I believe the Twitch streaming service does this) For mid-stream ads, that doesn't work. You could pre-fetch the ad and surrounding video early, so that
