    I believe the reason is, at the frequencies these CPUs are talking to RAM, the reflection coefficient[1] starts playing a big role. This means any change in impedance in the wire c…

    Have you tried anubis? https://github.com/TecharoHQ/anubis

    My house also came with a nest, and I also never connected it to my network, but for me nest was a terrible dumb thermostat. It constantly tried to infer schedules and change the t…

    I agree this is the ideal situation, but as it stands CAHSR is planned to terminate at union station in LA, quite far from LAX. Ideally LA metro or metrolink would build a direct c…

    Right, but that is still severely limited in my experience. Like I can't bind these programs to run on keyboard shortcut (or I guess the mobile equivalent would be a button on the …

    I currently run LineageOS and am constantly frustrated with its limitations every day. On desktop linux I can quickly write up a program to do most anything I want in pretty much a…

    Interesting, are you saying that instead of reaching for `let foo = bar; in expr` you usually use something like `with { foo = bar; }; expr`? > Since it uses attrsets, we can use t…

    I agree the syntax isn't perfect, but in case you're actually confused there's really only 3 places where semicolons go, and I would argue that two of the places make a lot of sens…

    This is exactly what the tool bubblewrap[1] is built for. It is pretty easy to wrap binaries with it and it gives you control over exactly what permissions you want in the namespac…

    You can do this with vanilla Firefox using policies.json[1]. Check out `DisableAppUpdate` attribute. If you're using Firefox from nixpkgs this is already disabled by default[2]. [1…

    I don't think it really addresses the issue because it still requires an account at one of the predetermined identity providers. With email I just need a domain and I can self host…

    Fair, although I know quite a few people that hold both of these opinions simultaneously because I've met them in person. It's only after I point out their hypocrisy do they even r…

    The signature is the whole point of the QR code though, otherwise someone could just trivially create a QR code that has their name and "vaccinated = yes".

    If the process you just described was actually secure then the computers could verify on its own. The problem is with an active mitm attack the attacker knows both sets of emojis a…

    You can use linux namespaces or a tool like bubblewrap to sandbox the process which makes it reasonably secure. However if you're running a GUI app that rendres to an X11 server al…

    Some of the largest and most important software is developed over email, e.g. Linux, QEMU, Firefox, etc... Don't make the mistake thinking that email doesn't scale. In fact, for mo…

    Do not confuse Google's revenue with market rate of an impression on YouTube. More revenue for Google does not equal higher pay for content creators. Google pays them the minimum t…

    Or you can do what I do and support the creators on patreon and continue to use adblock on YouTube. That way you can consume content without feeling guilty and not support Google's…

    It's insane to me that virtual effects and backgrounds are a feature integrated into video conferencing to begin with. Why couple these things instead of having them live as a sepa…

    Except it will never exist for discord because discord is a proprietary communication service instead of an open protocol. At best it can provide an API, but that can be broken or …

    I have no problem paying creators for content. If a creator I follow has a patreon or some other method of supporting them I pay for it without hesitation. What I do have a problem…

    Backblaze B2 also requires a verified mobile phone number in order to use it - even if you've already given them a credit card. I would love there to be an option available at Back…
