If the ISP doesn’t provide V6 though it’s time to switch ISPs.

I got a huge reduction in random login attempts when I changed my ssh port away from the default.

(Of course I also have actual security measures like log in by key only)

I think I have had an instructor put a mirror in the pool before lol

I doubt someone who has only ever read about swimming could do it in deep, cold water. But they are talking about taking it to a swimming pool to practice. I think they’ll be fine.

Probably. Take it to the shallow part of a pool (where you can stand up if you need to) and practice until you are comfortable trying more.

Also, watch some videos. I think it’s easier to learn something like swimming by watching others than by reading about it.

I live in a bigger US city that does have a metro. It’s not bad for doing longer trips in certain directions, when it’s working. But it breaks down at least a few times a year, and if you have to make a transfer to another train to make it to your destination, it’s often literally faster to walk.

I spent a few $1000 on the computer, I’ll spend $100 more to make it look fancy

Windows is designed to work on a very wide range of specs, so older devices as well as low-end newer devices should be able to run it.

That’s even more true about Linux. Many popular distros can be run on a raspberry pi, a 20 year old MacBook, or a state-of-the-art gaming desktop.

It’s less true about macOS because Apple has more control over the hardware so they can be pickier. Mobile developers also have more control over the hardware and can be pickier, although that’s less true about Android than iPhone.

If you use reusable bags, bottles, and other containers, that’s way more sustainable than any single use product.

But using paper is still better than plastic, and yes, trees can be and are sustainably farmed in many parts of the world.

I have seen some shifts away from plastic. For example, Apple seems to have removed almost all if not all plastic from their packaging, replacing it with paper.

While selling data in general is shitty, I want to push back on the fear mongering a little bit.

This only applies to new accounts, can be opt-out of, and doesn’t apply to self-hosted content.

pay NOTHING toward their student’s [sic] education, nor do they ever intend to,“ Trump wrote.

???

Universities with high (undergrad) international student populations usually do so because they charge international students higher tuition than local students.

As for grad students, that’s a way to import high-skill workers and also grad students typically are highly underpaid for the kind of work they do while working towards their degree.

I tried jellyfin but it isn’t even close to as a good as plex

In response to your spoiler:

I specifically didn’t like that scene because it’s a massive departure from the lore of all the other films. If they could just do that, why haven’t both sides been doing that all the time? Is it supposed to be that this group is the first group to try this, with the tech that has been around for at least a few centuries? If they had all died in the process I’d be more ok with that, although that also seems like a departure from how hyperspace works in the other films.

The treaty isn’t the technology, it’s the result of people much better informed on the topic considering the scenario you are asking about.

The technology is the hypothetical anti-ballistic missiles.

This summarizes Severance

• literally any foss player vs. what MS offers - be it VLC, SMPlayer, MPV, anything is better than windows built in crap

FFMPEG is an open source command line tool and software library for audio and video encoding. You’ll find it mentioned in the credits of just about any video playing software ever, but you can also just go use it for free.

I like GIMP but find Inkscape impossible to use

For the most part it’s best to use system provided sorting implementations, but somebody has to write those implementations, so every once in a while somebody needs to do it (in practice by looking up a reference implementation of course).

But also it’s good to understand things like big O scaling and why we use quicksort rather than a naive insertion sort and when to use quick sort vs merge sort or some other form of stable sort.

I looked into building my own keyboard, and then realized there are some excellent hobbyist tier keyboards that are 99% of what I would have wanted from building myself for like 30% of the cost.

I’m using the Hexgears Gemini Dawn right now, and I’m quite happy with it, but if I were to get a new one today I might go with something that supports QMK like the Massdrop CTRL.

The main 2 features I look for are hot-swappable switches and programmable firmware. Personally I like an aluminum frame and look for that as well.

You’ll pay about $100 for a prebuilt vs like $500 for building it yourself

Hey if a corporation can be pardoned does that mean a corporation can be charged with crimes such as manslaughter?
