Yes! Just take a lot of photos over a couple minutes (depending on how busy your scene is) from a fixed position, or just a video if you're lazy, then use imagemagick and combine t…

Green screen? Yes, it still requires some effort (buy and set up the actual screen, proper lighting), but I doubt a proper green screen setup would be outperformed by some AI syste…

Idk, it wasn't much more annoying than the 400th person chiming in with a "me too" before that. I already might have completely missed a comment explaining the situation between al…

The bribe ends up in your pocket, the credible alternative only serves the general public.

I think not being a real multi-user OS would have lead to trouble sooner or later, if it wouldn't have felt so unfinished in the first place. This was at the dawn of the internet, …

I tackled that project about two years ago. Asked around and a friend had an old laptop with FW port, so I installed Ubuntu on it and copied all my old Video8 and Digital8 Tapes.

You still need a VPS or server of some kind, but if the "screen with irssi/weechat" concept sounds too much like 80s UNIX, there is quassel[1]. It's like a relay/proxy/bouncer but …

Yeah sure, they waste money on building these things and then not bother to put people in there for quarantine. Great that these claims always come with no links to any halfway cre…

It was consensus between colleagues/friends. And because you still need to trust open source software as well. I certainly don't have the time to review the code, and the "somebody…

Exactly my first thought. I like Threema and one of the reasons I was an early adopter is that the founder worked on m0n0wall before, an OSS firewall that I used for a long time, i…

Didn't mean you said it is. Just wanted to go further with that thought from my perspective, because I assume the majority of users on here are from the US and thus might not immed…

2 infected in Russia seems to confirm what you say. ;-)

Which isn't that easy, since the world isn't black and white. And do I even care about morals, or mostly just about my personal data? As an American it's probably easy to make a ch…

Yes, after the 737-MAX I absolutely want more computers, AI, blockchain, cloud, microservices, HTTP/3 and big data in the planes I'm boarding.

I've been on the internet for so long that I genuinely don't know whether this person is serious or trolling hard. Also that person chiming in calling Jimmy anti-capitalist cracked…

There have been several issues over time. My general problem with it was complexity. What finally broke the camel's back for me was that for unexplained reasons, sssd stayed in "of…

I read it that the person got sick after the visit to Wuhan but recovered from that before the visit to OP. Hence 3+ days should be enough to rule out a possible infection of OP wi…

Same here. That's usually the kind of videos I watch, cause I'm not that interested in seeing benchmarks of the latest RGB memory sticks, or any other memory sticks, GFX cards, hea…

If he's been symptom free for 3+ days then no.

It sounds like enterprisey RedHat trash. Probably for better Active Directory integration, hence only CIFS is mentioned but not NFS. And they might actually achieve this there, sin…

Maybe add an error message if ipapi.co isn't reachable. uBlock blocked it on my end, and all I see is the "learn how it works" link, and above that is invisible text saying "Browse…

Somewhat OT: Can someone enlighten me why exactly we need to "speed correct" them in the first place? It always struck me as odd that those old b/w clips were often shown playing t…

Oh dear god. Because it's git related, my brain somehow still tries to make sense of that stuff because it just seems so real.

This is pretty interesting and shows you shouldn't try to pull any sort of stunts if you're not a crypto expert. I've actually wondered before whether md5 + sha1 would result in so…

Imo the model of those Australian scientists from a few days ago forecasting 75k infections in China by Feb. 4th was pretty spot on. Official numbers in China right now are 17k inf…
