Then you might like Matrix. From the IRC point of view, it's basically IRC, but updated to become a 2017 protocol.

That's weird. I have a Sony Bravia 4K 2015 Android TV as well, and it sure has an on-screen keyboard, navigatable using the normal TV remote. Not sure what's going on inside your TV, but you might want to contact someone about tha

Actually, how would you do a syscall in Brainfuck? Its only way to interact with the outside world is through "input byte" and "output byte", and that does not give you the ability to do arbitrary syscalls. As far as I c

Depends on your situation. In non-Euclidean geometry (such as on the surface of a sphere, which the Earth approximately is), it's not as simple as taking a straight line between two lines. Also look at Manhattan/taxicab geometry.

There is a problem: cryptographic solutions (like blockchain) cannot help build trust, only to maintain it. If a driver loses trust, they can just create a new private key and now they're up and running without any bad reviews agai

If a rouge app had root access, it could install a completely undetectable rootkit on the phone. That's why root access is very dangerous -- it means literally unrestricted access to everything on the phone, only limited by the hardwar

Moxie and Whisper Systems is clearly against decentralization and federation, based on that blog post they wrote. This means it's unlikely that Signal is ever going to have any support for federation.

Matrix is decentralized, proper open source, modern, has audited end-to-end encryption and all that. Be aware that if you install the Riot app from the Play Store, it uses GCM (which means that client is technically vulnerable to the same a

OctoPrint is pretty much the 3D printer web interface. It's very widely used for network-connected 3D printers. Personally, printing with OctoPrint is much nicer than printing the old regular way, specifically for shared printers lik

I never had problems using yum. dnf has the same interface but works faster, and does more things (e.g. Copr/repository management and `whatprovides`) and better.

Saunas are much warmer than that. Regular sauna temperature in Finland is around 60°C - 90°C (which is around 140-190°F). This is the air temperature at which pretty much everybody goes to the sauna here, including the young, the old and so
