Self hosted and centralised are two separate concepts. IRC is very much a centralised service even if you can host your own servers. Matrix would be a better example of a decentralised protocol.

That depends on the ircd, but on Freenode you could decloak using the services to ban the user from channel using IP ranges and see if they trigger (I think. It has been a few years since I this trick used, and it might've not even bee

Try rebooting the server. No, I'm not joking. I've had the omnibus package break my Gitlab as well and the bugs survived even full reconfigures and restarts. Rebooting the server fixed it even though it makes no sense.

Cloaks aren't reliable and there are a few tricks to uncloak a user anyway.

If IRC is decentralised, then so is Slack and all it's clones. Except they're not.

You could've just said 'rich' and do without the silly assumption that white people have it better than others because of their skin colour.

I wouldn't be surprised if they tracked keyboard input as well.

Begun? Surely you remember Youtube region locking videos. Or companies that don't offer their services (or have different) outside of their region opening international sites that have different content in different regions. This is

The performance of that wouldn't be too good. Also wouldn't work if older hardware includes an older PC. Also what's the state of being able to directly pass through devices to VMs on Windows? I know you can do this with USB

You don't actually need to install the bloated mess that is Visual Studio for Microsoft's C++ compiler. You can download the Build Tools separately. You can also use Cygwin/Mingw compilers (gcc, clang) as well. Plenty of alt

These shaming tactics are not helpful, and to be quite honest it's kind of creepy that you actually went through his post history just to find some 'dirt' on this person.

They won't be. They will be first be notified and then fined if they refuse to comply.

I've seen this idea thrown around in Tor mailing lists as well. The developers basically replied that while they're not happy about how Tor is used by some people, if they started censoring some things, they would eventually be re

> not on the bank (different companies!) Not necessarily. Here in Latvia banks manage their own ATMs and whether you will have to pay a fee depends on your bank having a contract with the bank whose ATMs you're trying to use (usuall

If you have JS disabled (or use noscript or umatrix or similar addons) you can just scroll down without needing to accept anything. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I'm not so sure about YouTube. It's a huge distance, and the potential for data loss somewhere in the middle is pretty large and video consumes a lot of bandwidth. E-mail might be doable, but for reddit you would need A LOT of pat

While I agree with quality standards, if the produce is priced by the kilo, it might certainly be more beneficial to have different sizes of it.

You didn't really address his points though. He named multiple countries in which Eurosceptics are on the rise, and that is going to become a problem in time for EU. Hell, even here in Latvia anti-EU sentiments are (albeit slowly) beco

And "that definition" is the official dictionary definition and it works. There is no need to redefine it like you tried to.

I don't think there's a way to gather that statistic. Some people might suddenly get a project that involves software that leverages GPGPU, some might use it professionally, then there might be kids experimenting. Plus as the job

Well it's a good thing nvidia is catching up on being horrible. The 367.xx driver's dkms module doesn't even compile for me on Ubuntu 16.04 anymore, and later drivers make some gstreamer-based apps stutter a bit. And Windows

His old DOS machines certainly weren't servers. Not having a GUI does not make a machine a server and having a GUI does not make a computer not-a-server (especially since we have graphics chips inside CPUs now).

Your oven and fridge (probably) has a computer within them, but they're not computers themselves.

These days with GPGPU (and crypto) becoming increasingly popular having a good GPU does not automatically imply gaming.

This is more of a list than an archive, because the download links are all external and most of them are inevitably going to die as time passes. Still, it's a pretty cool idea. Would be even cooler if they also listed non-free operatin

I think a big issue is that bash is available everywhere, while fish might not be. There's also the fact that a lot of us have fancy dotfiles for our work/home computers, and switching to another shell would mean having to rewrit

Except for the features list, how good really are stars and issue counts indicators for anything? Gogs has been around for longer and has received much more publicity, so it's bound to have more stars. Similarly, Gitea has more contrib
