on a personal level i'd suggest if possible to have a garden ,or if possible in your area and you don't have a garden buy a garden plot somewhere. this is really helpful if you make it nice for insects and birds. this is someting generally low cost, but does take time and effort.

in my area if you don't have a garden you can get a plot for about 100-200 euros a year. so thats dirt cheap to make a bit of impact.

cleaning in your area / natural areas is also good. walking around with a bag and collecting plastics and other trash left by people which might impact the local wildlife / environment.

those are generally things that do cost time, but not a lot of money, i'm all for activities in your life opposed to just trying to solve it by throwing money at it.

like a silent personal protest :) it's highly effective. for example in my parents garden there are a multitude of bird families who come there every season to live or in passing on their migrations. additionally we see a lot more butterflies and bees again since they started selecting the right type of plans and flowers for the local species.

on the other comment, i don't think 'overpopulation' is a problem. just how the population behaves. but i suppose that's a matter of opinion formed by where you live. i don't live in a huge city, so that might skew opinions on that matter a bit.

another idea is giving free workshops to people how to live consciously and environment friendly. a lot of people would like to do this kind of things ,but don't have the know how to do it. an hour or two with the right content of workshop can totally convert someone to living more environment friendly the rest of their lives. they will also give those insights to their childrent, propagating the effect.

all in all its more a mindset problem than anything. people are not conscious of this problem, which keeps it in place.

if you really want to throw money at it. try funding and helping researchers / students working on renewable / cleaner living solutions. in most countries there's some university or research group focusing on this topic. they could always use some money if you have some to 'burn' ;). 2500$ a month can get them a bunch of research equipment and buy them time to spend with that equipment to research. some people don't even earn that much, so you could fund someone to spend all of their time on this topic.

i just find it funny that theres posts about shortages of it people, and posts about a quarter of a million ppl applying to one company. who's lying. :D

have to agree that colours often disctract more than are of use. they stop you critically reading imo. but i guess that's also a matter of taste or something like that.

some vim enthousiast here scalded me for sending him spacevim linkand told me to use neovim. i don't use vim so i wouldn't know, and vim people seem easily offended :D. anyhow, just thought i'd not his input.

op here, i was sarcastic. the whole of science is based on best hypothesis is accepted as the ruling one. not as a fact of nature or reality ,but the best hypothesis. people take it often as fact though ,which led me to post a sarcastic comment just to point that out. sorry if it confused or offended someone :')

someone just told me that in pub :'), so honestly i have no clue of its correctness. but the guy who told me programmed for reason at some point so i kind of assumed he knew what he was talking about.

this does not stop one from having their own dns server and resolving what they like. the protocol itself has no owner, just a specified way of functioning. one can choose what dns server to use, and how to configure that to respond.

building some sort of overlay network on top of the internet has been done before (.onion anyone?).

How would this improve upon such a scheme for example? I really don't think it adds anything but the word 'blockchain' to the equation, and i honestly don't think that adds anything in the way of security.

additionally, to revoke ones domain name to say, resolve to another host, changing hosting provider for example, would seem impossible in an immutable blockchain. Would that result in forks or in namespace pollution?

the guy can already not come to US due to lots of things. what use is another lawsuit? i imagine if he'd ever show up they'd pretty much hang on public square him for what he did anyway? can someone tell me what they'd hope to achieve with another lawsuit?

isn't dns already decentralised? (apart form everyone basically using the same server(s) / google ?) you can just set up your own dns if you want to have your own mappings of ip->dn and vice versa. just set your dns to the server you prefer?

they mix and match a lot :) renoise is a different beast though. and Ableton is definitely not bad at all :) just a matter of preferences for me.

I think some of the renoise devs used to work for cubase, so maybe this guy even whent from there to renoise to ableton. :) thanks for the info though, interesting always :)

i am happy theres alteast some people concerned and working for our environment instead of passing stupid laws and doing fk all.

it's not hard to make your yard or environment more friendly for the local wildlife, and its super important to do so with current conditions.

for example in my country, even in 'protected' areas, insect populations are down by as much as 85%!. Thats just because people are a bit lazy and put pavement in their backyards instead of some simple grass and flowers.

take time for your environment, not for yourself, but for the next generation of people to be able to enjoy life.

don't expect government or politics to resolve such an issue, they are only out for money and forever hampered by budget issues and childish disagreements between politicians.

prefer renoise, it's cheap and super easy to work with :D. Never actually liked the workflow of ableton (personal flavour i suppose), its audio engine is fairly decent, but imho for 500ish euros it costs to get the suite it's a bit expensive for what u get.

Cubase has a much superior audio and processing engine like Logic Pro for mac users, and is in a similar pricing range. It has less quality built-in dps etc. ,but most DAWs lack on that.

Renoise for like 50 euros is super cheap in comparison, and most dps it has have awesome performance and quality.

That being said, ableton does offer a better 'live' environment for live/performance based things.

on workflows, bitwig is really the innovator, as it combines workflows from different daws like cubase and ableton and lets the user itself choose its work-flow instead of forcing it upon the user.

so many companies who offer these services since forever. verint, gamma, etc. etc.

1 or 2 binary sms sent and you have someones phone depending on your flavor of attack.

sim card runs java. with sim pin you can even just send apdu requests to read its filesystem...

don't know why now all of a sudden this is a hot topic. it's the whole design of the mobile infrastructure to be able to do this...

just think about it: if you clone someones phone via such method, and they get called, you get called. if you then pickup within ~1 second of them picking up, your speaker is enabled but microphone is disabled so they can't hear you snooping in on them.... that is by design.

between carriers everything is unauthenticated, to enable this at global scale... by design.

it depends on how you define progress. someone can see progress where others see things moving in the wrong direction or even backwards. it's an opinion what progress is.

so, a failure in measurement sparked a mystery which went on for decades. i wonder how often that happens in science ;P

no it does not

because they say things like "Human brains aren’t built for self-rule, says Shawn Rosenberg. That’s more evident than ever." :'). popular with the rich / power greedy westerners :D meanwhile ±85% of earths population disagrees while they take care of themselves as they have for centuries or longer.. but i suppose they don't tweet so they don't count for science! :D

global warming caused newly discovered by T-rex cranial radiators

the conclusion is weak but true. people do tend to forget the cloud is also a bunch of computers, and they might fail. however, it's not an argument to avoid cloud entirely, and in that sense its weak as an argument against cloud.

agree. like you imply, too many people rely heavily on their providers for business critical things like backups and redundancy. while generally big providers to a good job at this (and aws certainly does a good job at this), it does not mean there is a guarantee of any kind failures won't ever occur. thus the need to heavily invest in failure resistant technologies upon this borrowed infrastructure is arguably more important than picking 'the best' provider for the job.

I would like to note that the response time suggested by the tweet is a bit bad, 4 days to realise something and send out response / alerts to customers is a bit slow even for amazon. But then again, everything goes slower for bigger things, and amazon is quite big i'd say. not sure what the SLA response time to such an incident is, so it might be within agreed times...

you could say its something more but thats a question of belief. most of these cultures will tell you eventually they have learnt it either from ancestors or from spirits / god. that being nothing which can be proven by the scientific method, for science, it's nothing more, and if thats what you believe, cultural knowledge and trial and error is all that remains as a possibility.

lots of cultures carry knowledge which is 'strange' for them to have or carry. how they came about it is often a mystery at best.

:') can't get this darn rng to work :')

videos can be altered in this way for a long long time now. just not by neural networks. so in reality, it changes nothing.

more alarming news is that people still let tweets form their opinion on public matters.

for me the site fails a bit with you url. it doesnt display anything at all, but if you do a direct on the site api then i get this: {"Status": 0,"TC": false,"RD": true,"RA": true,"AD": false,"CD": false,"Question":[ {"name": "nic.xyz.","type": 1}],"Answer":[ {"name": "nic.xyz.","type": 1,"TTL": 3569,"data": "54.183.18.58"},{"name": "nic.xyz.","type": 1,"TTL": 3569,"data": "54.183.101.119"}]}

anyone have info / experience with this combined with handling large files? git is a bit crap with large files, wondering if this will do better. (for example 3d game project or other project with lots of fairly sizeable files. (assets / packed files etc.))

there's plenty of ways to store things without refrigerating them. you can keep meats and other things for a long time without refrigeration.. using for example salt.

no one looks for a corpse, so it's easy to say he was executed, it will be safer for the guy. lots of intelligence people and also people working in specialist groups of army have a need to protect their identities etc. death is a good cover. if there is no proof he died, then likely he didn't. implying things doesn't make them true necessarily.

assange endangered lives of western people, western government condemned that, as they try to protect western people. do you have any point to your little story or are you just angry with the world? if its trivial to found out who this person was, please enlighten us to his identity. because i'm pretty sure you won't find it so trivial....

you want me to send some nytime linkes for u there :')... sure they are reliable sources. :')...

offering counter-point as most views are highly negative and paranoid. but i suppose in my country, there's not really much negative media about these sort of things, guess intelligence agency quality and media coverage varies by country, feeding this paranoia of you guys (guessing most will be basing their well founded and very knowlegable opinions on US media posts.)

in my country, the coverage for our intelligence services looks much more positive... https://nos.nl/artikel/2253313-mivd-we-hebben-russische-hack... (sorry, sure you can figure out google translate.. - and yes, tis is also public media, highly reliable source as always. :')... but i guess at least it's public enough for u...)
