my favourite is Amazon’s:

• buy without prime (2$ shipping fees)
• buy with prime (free shipping)

exept you must pay amazon prime 10$ and it’s a monthly recuring subscription.

I guess if the copyright trolls got their way, there would be no general purpose computing.

Exactly. These kinds of statements are so naive.

I use BTRFS for the same. Being able to check for and repair silent corruptions is a must (and this is without needing to read the whole drives, only the actual files). I’ve had a lot of them over the years, including (but not only) because of a cheap USB controller also.

the Android VLC is absolutely different from the desktop version.

No, every service provider must remove infringing content when reported. That is not the case on Telegram.

No matter which encoding is used to store data, the hoster is still responsible for it. On mega, the data is encrypted, yet mega is still held responsible for removing content reported by copyright holders (the decryption keys being included in reports).

How come those big hosters get away with such infringements? I guess they must be less popular than Megaupload and such

i2Psnark is an alternative. With a lot less features (and not mentioning the UX)

Unfortunately, google maps is much more than a map. Shops with ratings and business hours, traffic, public transports, sattelite and street views are typically missing from these alternatives (fair rating is likely impossible).

I like Organic Maps though in case if network issues. Hopes Kartaview succeeds too.

All your session cookies are stored in plaintext.

63.3K commits from 1K+ contributors and still pre-alpha, it’s amazing what a nightmare web browsers have become!

A space station with artificial gravity would be a good project, rather than sending a man on Mars just to take a selfie.

It seems to me that there will be much less relays than there are AP nodes. Users won’t publish/subscribe to hundred of relays (if they did, relays would not scale). Hence more bad content to less moderators, and poor moderation.

Adding client filters would just shift the censorship power to those maintaining them.

I’m still using MPD+ncmpcpp. For remote access, I use Wireguard and stream via HTTP on VLC. It’s amazingly fast and lightweight (26MB RAM for 30K+ songs).

MALP also works on Android, might be better with no physical keyboard (now supports streaming also).

Same as CP used against encryption.

A bunch of eDonkey servers were seized in 2006. This was before the implementation of Kademlia in emule. It highlighted the vulnerable centralized part of the protocol and pushed people to alternatives. Also compared to bittorrent, the lack of moderation and low speed played a role.

Had the same experience with Lydia advertising their new brand name by email yesterday.

The entropy of otp codes is low compared to the seed’s. I’d never though about what that meant for reversion. Good point !

In actually decreases with time (by half every four year, unless the value increases equally, which is unlikely in the long run). However you should compare the energy per transaction, which is pretty lame (5txs per seconds or similar).
