In Quebec French, the general motif for swear words is to use church related terms [0]. Common examples: * câlice [kɑːlɪs] (calice): "chalice" * ostie [ɔs.t͡si] (hostie): "host" - …

I have not personally tried it, but HoloISO claims to bring SteamOS 3 (the current arch-based version) to generic non-Steamdeck hardware. https://github.com/HoloISO/holoiso

Overall I do agree with you, it does make reporting seem very “sponsored“ and disingenuous. However, an argument could me made that “We have the first look at the new technology. W…

I would very much recommend Johann Gottlieb Fichte’s “Foundations of the Science of Knowledge”. It’s a dense read, nevertheless an interesting insight on consciousness. https://ant…

Apologies in advance if my terminology is not entirely correct - no formal CS background. I wonder what implications, if any, this method has on the way science is done. Perhaps I’…

Yep! Years ago while in school, I kindly asked Roche to send me the posters. These are great, both in terms of the form - as in room decoration, and in terms of function - great wh…

Same sentiment here. I could come up with one "advantage" of OpenBSD over Linux - smaller user base. In a simplistic kind of a view that should make it less compelling to put in as…

Congratulations and big thanks to all of the project developers and contributors!

Interesting for sure. When I've first heard reports of ibuprofen + CoV-19, I went to check out what Harvard Health was recommending [0]. Under "What treatments are available to tre…

Well the thing is alerts are indeed for actionable events. For example many remote locations have an on-site battery backup, which would supply power in an event of loosing commerc…

I’ll chime in here to say we use both at work. In a NOC at a medium-sized ISP, we are getting hammered with alerts 24/7. Some are not urgent, while others need to be actioned much …

I see what you mean. Specifically in the context of VPNs I’ve always interpreted the layer in terms of the payload that’s being encapsulated - which as far as I understand is IP (L…

WireGuard operates at layer 3. The first sentence from the white paper by Jason A.: “ WireGuard is a secure network tunnel, operating at layer 3...”. [1] Regardless of the layer, i…

Not an expert - just guessing. If entropy is a measure of overall degrees of freedom, then even though gas collapsing into stars and planets might seem more “ordered” - the total a…

A great read, thanks! I use ripgrep and xsv daily at work - thank you Andrew aka burntsushi for sharing your code!

Off topic: Docusaurus V2 makes a really clean looking blog via GitHub pages. Cheers

I’ve got a VPN server on a machine which gets a public IPv4 address via DHCP. Once in a while it changes. Instead of using something like DDNS, I just have a script running via chr…

After watching the doc - I wouldn’t want to spoil it, so I’d just say these guesses were not correct. I was thinking Cuba or Venezuela too at first though.

Idk folks, the entire debate seems to be out of proportion. 1) If you do not agree with Mozilla’s actions - do not user their browser. I mean Mozilla isn’t forcing anyone to use Fi…

Haven’t tried it myself, but OpenOSPFD sounds exactly what you were looking for. Developed by OpenBSD. https://www.openbsd.org/papers/linuxtag06-network.pdf
