I just use a wireguard VPN with a domain name I already had and DDNS configured, what benefits does Tailscale bring for a situation where only a couple of devices need access?

I have never been more glad to have moved to a self hosted immich server on an old laptop.

Futo keyboard on Android has a transformer LM option that uses local ML for text prediction, I've found it to work very well. As far as I'm aware it's completely on device.

Additionally, why not just create a seperate library in Jellyfin for YT videos? That'd keep them fairly seperate

Luckily with OSS we can fork it

Having done both, I can honestly say I prefer living in the countryside and driving to living in the city center and walking in every way except getting home after a night out. The city felt massively overwhelming in almost every way, I actually found it less convenient in a lot of ways, and I found it very hard to get away from noise and people without a car to get myself into the countryside. I'm not debating that it's the best life for you, but I think there's a good number of people who are like me as well.

I don't know why, but piracy seems awful to me for things like books or music when it's one or a small group of people producing the media, but it doesn't seem too bad for films/series where they're often hard to get legally, and are created by large groups of people. It's not like any less human effort goes into them, it's just something I've noticed feeling and I can't put my finger on why. Maybe it's just that human connection, whatever that really means.

I find it amazing how close the front page of this is to what I actually watch/want to watch on YouTube. I guess I shouldn't be surprised, but it feels like an unpersonalised feed (besides being based on Hacker News) shouldn't have a significantly better hitrate for me than YouTube's "personalised" feed.

I personally think you can deal with illegal immigration without masked thugs who refuse to present any form of identification tackling people who they think may be illegal immigrants without due process. If I got tackled by ICE agents without having showed them any aggression (as has been happening), how on earth am I to differentiate that from being mugged with the way they're going about it?

It can be true that illegal immigration is an issue, legal immigration can be a positive for society, and that they way ICE is currently operating is not the way to handle things.

It's not a tax on the customer directly, but who does it get passed on to? That's like saying VAT isn't a tax on the customer as the retailer pays it to the state.

Monero actually does mitigate this, when you send money it creates a one time address (https://www.getmonero.org/resources/moneropedia/stealthaddre...), therefore payments cannot be traced to your wallet. When receiving money it's recommended you use different sub addresses (https://docs.getmonero.org/public-address/) for different purposes, so you can receive money from multiple places that cannot be correlated with each other. For someone to view incoming transactions for your wallet they'd need your private view key, to view outgoing transactions they'd need your private spend key, both of which are private .

You can still choose to generate a proof of transaction to give to someone, which proves that you did make one specific transaction.

Monero is genuinely a really interesting, and frankly ideal as far as I can tell for my purposes, cryptocurrency. It's a shame it's associated with crime because it solves all of my issues with spending digital currency from a privacy and practicality perspective.

The value of it to me is that as money has got more digital, I feel that there is an incredible amount of tracking that previously did not exist in a primarily cash based society. It really isn't my bank or the government's business what I'm buying, or that I went to a casino, or that I went into an adult shop, or <insert sensitive purchase for your situation here>. Using cash more is another solution, but that's not feasible for most online services, and not all businesses accept cash any more. Maybe this is all paranoia, but you see data breaches all the time, and you see how so many industries mine data (and there really isn't much better data for advertising than your entire purchase history).

This is why I don't particularly support most cryptocurrencies, as they don't solve these issues and feel more like a horrific version of the stock market. Monero on the other hand does pretty decisively solve these issues, I can give you an address to send money to without giving out any other information, I can send money to you without my purchase history being public (unlike bitcoin), the transaction fees are very low (unlike bitcoin), the block time is quite low. It does feel like the perfect system for daily purchases if it would be embraced, which I am aware it won't be. The issue of no recourse for keys being compromised could be slightly mitigated by putting only limited amounts of money in the wallet at a time, although I do know this isn't ideal (but it's probably a cost for having actual privacy). I really don't get most cryptocurrencies though, bitcoin was a good POC but it's been surpassed in every way by now.

I just feel like I'm being forced to give up my privacy, and Monero (or similar) is a potential solution to this that doesn't give up the convenience of digital currency. I guess though I'm seeing it from the perspective of a daily payment system, rather than a savings system (I'd pretty much always prefer my savings in an actual bank with the protections therein).

You can always atomic swap between bitcoin and monero.

Would this mean any TPM based decryption keys could potentially be compromised in this kind of attack? E.g. when they're used for LUKS disk encryption.

Presumably this makes SELinux enabled distros like fedora are significantly less vulnerable, as the PHP process can only access files in a few contexts?

This is just how I've felt writing both Rust and C++. Rust's language complexity often feels like it's there so that I don't have to think about so much complexity when interfacing with the code, whereas C++'s language complexity introduces footgun after footgun and I have to think very carefully about what everything could possibly do (e.g. if destructors even get run in certain instances when I'd expect them to).

On the other hand more stoves are electric now rather than gas, new builds frequently have air source heating where they would've had gas or oil boilers, more cars are electric; all of which are huge percentages of a household's total energy consumption compared to something like lighting.

I use it, it's not that slow for me, the main issue is a lot of websites block traffic from Tor. Funnily enough Reddit allows traffic from Tor but blocks traffic from my VPN.

To be fair I see two separate ways CS students use LLMs, one is to just complete assignments in the same way you could by asking someone else to do it, the other way is by getting an LLM to explain certain concepts in another way, or create more examples of them to aid in understanding quicker/in more depth. I actually think in the 2nd case they can be incredibly useful and can assist in creating a deeper understanding, but in the 1st case they obviously create fundamental gaps in understanding.

In a way it's on the student to make sure whatever they're doing, they actually understand it, or come exam season the gaps in their knowledge sans Claude will become quite obvious.

But also Pin is the one you're least likely to run into in most projects.

For 2.5k a 512Gb SSD seems extremely disappointing, I'd expect 1Tb on something half that price.

There's not much of a fissure in Ireland, the consensus there is pro Palestine. They see parallels between how Israel is treating the Palestinians and how the UK treated Ireland. Generally they don't view the bigger country next door trying to take over a smaller country favourably, and that's even without the mention of the word genocide which certainly doesn't help Israel's case.

Enigma wasn't one time pad based (although these were used a lot during the war), enigma does have known weaknesses such as letters never being decrypted to itself. Enigma was based off daily settings (rotor positions, plugboard settings etc), which could be mostly recovered by the end of the war, unlike actual one time pads which are only crackable by bad key hygiene/brute force.

Presumably they subsidise the good conditions, few but high quality releases etc with the Steam store, which does set them apart from most studios.

How would that work for things like films or music when it genuinely is a group of people making something? I agree that copyright is way, way too long and should be a fixed length, but there's definitely a use in corporations being able to hold it.

As someone from outside the US, I had only heard of coaster brakes from this article. As a child all my bikes had rim brakes and now my bike has hydraulic discs, coaster breaks seem very strange to me.

I use Auxio from F-Droid. It's quite simple (which to me is a benefit) and my only real complaint is how similar shuffle on and off look on Android Auto. It handles non ASCII titles correctly where some others didn't (from what I remember due to weirdness with the Android media store) and it picks up new media/edited quickly and reliably which can be a sore spot with others. I don't know how Android's media store is apparently so incompetent that most music apps don't work correctly using it.

I wonder how this is treated in terms of consent (at least from a GDPR perspective in the EU), even if I gave my data to Spirit, I did not consent to it being shared with Google unless they explicitly said they would share it with that partner and I agreed. Surely they can't just retroactively change the scope of consent for data sharing?

Coming from Rust anyway (can't say I'm familiar with Go), nothing about having it as a trait would pollute the method set, traits don't have to have methods (e.g. pin, unpin, send, sync, etc.). Yes a zero length field can be metadata and this is a style complaint but a struct's fields are traditionally its data and the type is its metadata, I feel like it's harmful to mix these two as I at least wouldn't generally look at fields to find metadata for the struct.

On desktop they're same as HN, on mobile click the number in the bubble on the far right hand side.
