I don’t particularly like Linus, but he was bearable in this video. As someone who assumed this was a SIM swap, I was genuinely as confused as he was playing it up when he was able to place calls but not receive them. That was really interesting.

Did uptobox provide seed boxes for torrenting, or what was the service like?

Wow TIL about the use of underscore in an interactive session.

This is kinda the plot of a Black Mirror episode, Striking Vipers.

Hope these guides are useful for you.

FWIW, if all you have is a truly static website (html, css, and js), then GitHub Pages is free and you can point a custom domain there from your registrar, and don’t have to worry about backups or server uptime.

Reminds me of that famous Harry Potter quote:

I see, so the fishy part is that the vote counts basically correspond exactly to the nearest 0.1% for the top two candidates, whereas that’s unlikely. And the odds of that happening for both candidates is a 1 in roughly (10,000^2)?

EDIT: rereading the article, I see the probability calculations at the bottom.

I might need an EIL5 for this. Is the fishy part that when you expand the vote percentages to 7 decimal places, both candidates are .19999 and then that gets rounded up to .2?

Door city over here

To reiterate the other comment about code maintainability, I’d suggest removing all commented out code as your next commit. With git, that information isn’t lost and you can always go back to it on commit d4c981a. The easiest time to create a clean codebase is when you start the project, and the second easiest time is now. Also might be a good idea to use a pre-commit hook to check if commented code is being committed, to stop you from introducing mess in the future.

Ohhhh you’re totally right. I tried replicating OPs claim and searched for the video title “Building an Open Source Payment System - Sebastian Javier Marchano, Taler System” and there was no red bar. Searching for “GNU Taler” shows the red bar for that same video. It feels like bad UI, overloading the meaning of the red seek bar, but it seems like in this case, that’s saying it’ll skip you to when they start talking about it, not that you previously watched the video.

I’m sure it’s tedious, but run those tests again, and when you do, before and after watching the video, go to https://www.youtube.com/feed/history and see if it tracked it. I understand you’re logged out, but maybe you’re somehow selected for a test of some sort of logged out experience.

That being said, I ran through your replication steps and could not reproduce it (even down to pulling up the same video). I also doubt that Youtube would create a feature useful for people logged out of their service, since they want to encourage you to log in because they get better data for selling ads.

Are you logged into Youtube/Google? EDIT: I see your comment in another reply saying you’re not logged in. Keeping the rest of my comment below for posterity

Youtube keeps a watch history, and allows you to resume videos where you left off of. This works across devices if you’re logged in. This functionality is enabled by default, and can be turned off in https://myactivity.google.com/

https://support.google.com/youtube/answer/95725

These settings are on an account level and tracked server side. Since the history can be accessed across devices, the browser you use and cookie retention have no effect on the ability for the viewing history to be retained.

please tell me you created a dick object for the project which is exactly the same as a dict object.

The mod log shows the ban was for violating rule two of the community (both for the post and user). Seems like there were others who had comments removed and were banned for 6d as well around the same time. Perhaps the mod didn’t realize who You were and was banning on autopilot to clean things up in the community?

Also, FWIW, in my client (Alexandrite). and from what I can see in Your screenshots, pronouns aren’t showing up next to Your username where the comment is. I’m absolutely not defending anyone transphobic, but not everyone is going to click through to the profile to see is pronouns are in the profile. I wanted to let You know about that incase that’s some setting on aussie.zone or something that could be fixed and make things better.

How is this different from Factorio?

I manage a stack like this, we have dedicated hardware running a steady state of backend processing, but scale into AWS if there’s a surge in realtime processing needed and we don’t have the hardware. We also had an outage in our on prem datacenter once which was expensive for us (I assume an insurance claim was made), but scaling to AWS was almost automatic, and the impact was minimal for a full datacenter outage.

If we wanted to optimize even more, I’m sure we could scale into Azure depending on server costs when spot pricing is higher in AWS. The moral of the story is to not get too locked into any one provider and utilize some of the abstraction layers so that AWS, Azure, etc are just targets that you can shop around for by default, without having to scramble.

This argument implies there’s an easy way for you to perform the reproducible builds on iOS, but it’s quite involved and requires a jailbroken iPhone. Overall this is more a limitation of apple and not signal.

Even if you were able to perform a reproducible build of Signal on a jailbroken iPhone, there’s no way to confirm that the stock iOS Signal app will match, or has a backdoor that got added in a supply chain attack that only is delivered to non jailbroken phones. You could use a jailbroken iOS device, but then it could be lagging behind updates and be even more vulnerable from zero days.

The real pressure here should be on Apple to provide a way to verify a build of an open source app matches what is being installed via the app store, but for some reason this is being framed as a Signal issue, which is disingenuous.
