The Matrix talk recording is broken. The referenced video files have a size of 0 bytes

It's just another client that (by default) uses the official F-Droid repo

The "essence of linear algebra" series by 3blue1brown on YouTube does a really good job at intuitively explaining and visualizing matrix multiplication and other linear algebra top…

That might be true in some places, but in Europe for example there really isn't that much room left. And moving large quantities of electricity from a desert to a place where peopl…

It is said that the infrastructure required to sustain suburbs costs more money than these suburbs bring in. In the US a city gets federal money to build new suburbs, but when it c…

On IPv6 this would be a solved issue. With SLAAC the router just broadcasts Router Advertisements and all the machines just automatically configure their addresses, which are fully…

People are saying this because so far it has just been much warmer than usual at this time of year, and snow in November wouldn't be the most unusual thing, and most people just as…

You either do an interview or a member sends you an invite. It's a private tracker just like what.cd was. It's less elitist than most other trackers which are invite only and somet…

Well, clearly they sent it to you, so they're distributing the images. The E-Mail headers, especially if they contain a dkim signature, are likely sufficient proof for that. If not…

People still using PulseAudio can use pagraphcontrol ( https://github.com/futpib/pagraphcontrol )

It's also a perfect way to enter the hacking scene

Yeah in rural areas it's hard to justify building public transport. Villages can still have grocery stores though. But we were talking about cities here

Shopping would optimally happen by foot or by bike. Somewhat impossible with US zoning laws, but in a decent mixed use neighborhood a grocery store would be a And overcrowded buses…

Inner city driving should be restricted to service vehicles only. The inner city should be dense enough that shopping is easily done by foot or by bike, and things further away are…

Every baby right now is a "covid baby", so of course they're easy to spot

Exactly. A commonly missed attack vector is just intercepting plaintext http and blocking https, so the browser thinks the site doesn't offer https and will just continue in plaint…

uBlock Origin can block network requests too. These rules should block requests to trending hashtags and recommended user accounts: ||twitter.com/i/api/2/guide.json$xhr,1p ||twitte…

The other author also did a talk (in German) on social bots at the end of 2017 https://media.ccc.de/v/34c3-9268-social_bots_fake_news_und_f... https://youtu.be/6jNWl5d_DOk

It allows for tracking users since the second half of your address is always constant. It's a fixed problem though since basically all consumer devices these days use privacy exten…

My private Wireguard network is IPv6 only. SSH on all my remote servers listens on a random statically configured IPv6 address dedicated only for ssh. Since every server has an ent…

Then E-Mails which fail the SPF and DKIM checks should be rejected by the receiving server. Many mailservers still let them through though because they just don't check dmarc or pu…

This is what DMARC should solve, but it appears your mailserver lets these messages through without checking

It's actually a pretty small prefix in the IPv6 world. The recommendation for an IPv6 network is to be at least a /64, because features like SLAAC, which mostly replaces DHCP, need…

You can embed a minimal ssh server (like dropbear or tinyssh) in your initramfs to remotely enter the passphrase. There are some guides for that online
