Kudoa for this, but it feels like there should be a more direct way? I mean, he first invented basically a general-purpose execution platform. That in itself is cool, but the fact …

It goes on. > the new standard that companies like Samsung and Google would clone the same way they cloned the hardware and software design of the iPhone. That's misrepresenting hi…

As the videos show, there are still a few usability issues. Full-screen switching somewhere else just to enter a name for example doesn't get you very far. But there is not much mi…

I'm aware what I can do. I was wondering how they did it.

How did they generate these? If I try with ChatGPT then it refuses, citing a possible violation of their content policy. Even when I tell it that this is for me personally, it know…

To which everybody will click yes. They have been conditioned by too much half-baked crap out there that requires it and the need to go on with their lives instead of having tp sta…

To both of you, wireguard is the way to go. So, parent poster: yes, you are doing it right. Grandparent: Use a VPN, close everything else.

What kind of "hosting service" are you referring to? Just run wireguard on the home server, or your router, and that's it. No more infra required.

If you make a product that is so locked down by default that folks need to jump through 10 hoops before anything works then your support forums will be full of people whining that …

Most computing people habe at home is some locked down cloud crap which neither you nor an attacker can do anything with. It's not hackable though in the original sense of the word…

It is widely known not to expose anything to the public internet unless it's hardened an/or sandboxed. A random service you use for playing around definitely does not meet this des…

> None of the database guides I followed had warned me about the dangers of exposing a docker containerized database to the internet. Um that's pretty ... naïve? Closing even your …

I personally don't actually mind and don't infer the rest of the page to be garbage. Maybe because I don't consider the image garbage either.

I understand much of your rambling, but the wax that's sprayed on apples isn't an issue. To the contrary, it increases the shelf life of them, reducing waste. And it's not dangerou…

If your country can do it, then the US also can!

Irony is, syringes can be reused well after sterilizing with heat. But I agree that extremism usually just drives people the opposite way. Especially in the medical field plastic w…

But it won't invisibly accumulate in your food chain.

Propaganda will always be a problem. But progress is possible. Nobody will really miss single apples wrapped in plastic in the store.

There are lots of wasteful uses for sure. Too much crap out there being produced essentially for the land fill. This can all go away. But there are many areas where plastics are qu…

100% this. Also, keep in mind that the article is from his university's PR dept. It's not independent work by a journalist.

You a seem to be misunderstanding if not misrepresenting my point. I applaud the FOSS community for these licenses. I use them myself. And I don't expect any payment. And it's fine…

That's not what I'm thinking. Where exactly should those $25 go? If there is such an easy place, fine, go ahead. I personally don't see one, since there are many giants on whose sh…

Isn't the whole approach wrong? All that stuff should be in another thread. That's it. Re-inventing a bad version of cooperative multitasking, in 2025, really? It's surely a nice e…
