And only 13 years late! Original estimate for the start of electricity production was 2009. Full-scale commercial production is now on track to start in mid-2022. This project has been absolutely harrowed by a seemingly infinite string of d

curl -H/--header itself also takes a file name prefixed by @, including - for stdin. So you could go curl -H@- <<<'API-Key: Foobar', or if you need to specify multiple sensitive headers, curl -H@<(echo API-Key: Fo

Sorry - I meant "as cited", i.e. there were exactly 313 items still requiring attention (presumably number of links that were created between the last backup and the incident.) This is a very low number, bordering on something you

Seems like they have it mostly resolved, the releationships were restored from a backup 3 hours prior to the incident, and they are working to restore the data for the 313 (sic.) items still affected: https://gitlab.com/gitl

So instead of actually debunking his arguments you published a handwavy reply? I very much think that if someone is offering insanely high ROIs but does not divulge how the value is created, you can safely assume it's a scam, and simpl

Wrong, USDC has never been auditted. They do publish a monthly "attestation" by an independent accountant that seems to amount to tautologically saying that they are satisfied that Circle is not engaged in fraud IF the account bal

Exactly. These PoS FUDers fail to realize that largely the same, even if not stronger, economical factors protect the PoS as does the PoW blockchain. Both fundamentally rely on that 50% of validators need to be honest. With PoW, anyone with

From just before the dot-com bubble burst to when it had fully deflated, the tech stocks had lost some $5T of stock market valuation - in 2002 dollars. So no, it's completely feasible that there is $2.6T of hot air speculative investme

You don't need to sell out if you can create a service or product that people are willing to pay money for - even indirectly. Granted, this is certainly a difficult feat to pull on a free image hosting site.

Sorry.. I meant exactly that 25 seconds to boot up from hibernation is definitely not an issue. Why would it be? I store the laptop hibernated. I need to dehibernate exactly once a day. I work 8 hours a day, meaning less then a promille

AFAIK this is only an issue if you think UEFI Secure Boot and TPM are a good idea. The traditional way to implement full-disk encryption on Linux is by disabling UEFI validation and deriving the key from a passphrase rather than storing it

Anyone who is concerned about this should already be using full-disk encryption, which means the memory contents are actually better protected during hibernation than in a live state. This is one thing that usually Linux gets mostly right

This is so infuriating, because this problem has already been solved once. It's called "Hibernation", and was added in Windows 95. This should write your MEM image to disk, power the laptop completely off and allow later rest
