It took a few weeks to go away completely, but got noticeably better just after a couple of days. I'm pretty confident in that diagnosis, as nothing else have changed.

Sort of, there is pseudoanonimity layer in Telegram that doesn't show your phone number to others, so if you can be reasonably sure that Telegram isn't going to give you up to the police of your country - your privacy can be prese

Maybe GPL started as an anti-capitalist license, but in practice it became very much pro-capitalist. It got to the point that GPLv3 and AGPLv3 were split into two licenses to satisfy capitalists. Among various properly written and practica

It was hard to jam radio transmissions in the past, but these days it's common. Russia did that to Ukrainian channels in Crimea and Donbass and Belarus has access to the same Russian technology.

They were not, but since the polls were banned during elections the government at least had some deniability and fewer people were convinced it was all fake. But this time massive protests and polls and information online convinced everyone

Deep discharge is a factor, but not a big one, heat has very little effect, it only affects voltages at which battery will be considered overcharged or deeply discharged as specs are usually all for room temperature. I've used UPSes th

You can put your equipment on a voltage relay to make failure modes as simple as flipping a circuit breaker. It will turn off once voltage drops too much and will wait for it to stabilize for specified amount of time to turn it on.

Yep, and once you start using custom DC UPSes the biggest issue will be battery chargers that kill lead-acid batteries. Things are better with LiFePO4 these days, but for lead-acid I haven't found a solution except for literally hackin

That's not really a proper way to deal with it. Proper UPS for a home server or any standalone server or appliance has to hook up either after ATX power supply in parallel and provide all the ATX voltages or hook up directly into a pow

Personal computers have an advantage here: it is acceptable for them not to work when they are not directly used by someone. It means they can be stored in safes when not used and have all the encryption keys securely erased when not used.

It's not that safe, not like vitamin C safe. Especially not in doses sold in pills in pharmacies around the world.
