Yes but how many football fields can that throw a beer can?!

The best place to get STDs in the great lakes.

Can already do that with rclone, although a one button setup for syncthing would likely get some play.

If communications are generally encrypted then that absolutely is surprising. In that example all the clients could be counting the emoji bs or whatever individually without any se…

I understand what NFTs are, but torrents are ephemeral and recreatable and frequently replaced even for the same source data, more akin to indices. Proving you had a copy in the pa…

What does a NFT of a torrent even mean after we stop laughing at the absurdity?

If you participate in facebook etc apps and services at all they have far more insidious and effective tracking and NAT isn't hiding you at all. Additionally the idea that it is gr…

There's no reason you couldn't, but distance is not the only source of latency, so you're unlikely to find an existing case of someone doing that intentionally. Easy enough to whit…

When affluent and educated societies worldwide show declining birthrates and increasing age at reproduction, it can be taken as a strong indicator of women's and family's preferenc…

Taiwan was, and is to a lesser degree these days, also highly patronistic in terms of you needing to know people to get that kind of government support. That kind of corruption was…

He's trying to waste people's time trolling.

hey now let's calm down with that crazy talk. They only stopped using floppies because it was getting (napkin math) 20 million times more expensive per data volume than modern data…

A war over Taiwan would have global economic consequences that made whatever AMD's stock price did the most minor of footnotes. The amount of trade that goes through that area of t…

The core of the problems is the KMT, who have been the roadblock to resolving this the whole time. Yes, they really were not willing to give anything, and it's black comedy at this…

It seems to be a problem with older east Asian construction, I claim no specific expertise on the issue but I've observed poor p/u bend water barriers in even fairly nice buildings…

Outside of the same authentication domain with bad auth token practices (windows) the hash almost always is useless elsewhere. Salting increases the complexity and thus size of has…

that's way worse than 1:1 unless all integers between 0 and 255 occur in the first 256 digits of pi, which I'm 99.pi% sure is not the case.

I love that they ran with this far enough to get it working. We need a graph of the average number of bits to store an offset into pi versus size of stored data.

As a frequent international traveler, using VPNs as a method to change routing absolutely can improve the results. Routing is not always done to get your specific packets someplace…

That's a bizarre way to read two independent sentences. I don't know if any given eastern European nations counts as developed in your terms, but pretty much all of them with simil…

America has problems with drinking, opioids, meth, prescription abuse, vaping bizarre things, health care, mental health, domestic violence, domestic terrorism and violent crime, s…

NVME will pull ahead with higher concurrency due to the much larger command queues. With single or small sets of reads the overall bus throughput doesn't matter much and the limita…

NFS servers can remap remote UIDs to anything they want. This has been normal practice with less trusted clients for decades. If you're dealing with unreliable networks, you probab…

What absolute nonsense is this? NFS is far from perfect but aces the insane stupid complexity of SMB any day of the week and twice on Sunday

This is mostly a problem for low-cost hosting that had some implied assumptions about how heavily used various components would be relative to the rest.
