What happens when a developer can't publish a security update because they don't have 2FA enabled for a popular package? I was almost in this position. I don't have a phone, I don'…

The VPS we're running on has 60GB of RAM which should be plenty but the ingest program needs more work to use less memory so it stops crashing when denormalizing multipolygon relat…

It's similar how with a torrent you can start seeking into a particular spot in a file and start playing by requesting particular chunks at that spot. Some clients like webtorrent …

The website hasn't been updated in a while and the stack somewhat diverges from what is written there but we're very hard at work making all the pieces fit together. The p2p databa…

We (cabal devs) have had many discussions about supporting i2p out of the box and this is a high priority in the project road map.

Many projects[1][2][3][4] in the dat ecosystem use kappa-core[5] for multi-user applications on top of hypercores (the low-level append-only log used by dat). kappa-core is designe…

These things build on each other over time and learning a language is not exactly easy, especially if you are starting out. An important aspect of the transferability here is that …

I think the real C++ part is so important because it respects the abilities and intelligence of children to participate in the adult world using a real (yet approachable) technolog…

GDP has its own limitations, as it measures aggregate economic activity and does not take into consideration things like wealth distribution, environmental impact, unrenumerated la…

The sun is also very intense when it shines and it dries out clothes very quick. We have problems because the sun dries out the soil too much for plants so we have to put them in s…

Yes I also live in Puna. Are any of you open to using https://www.scuttlebutt.nz/ ? It's an "off-grid" social network.

It sounds like the refrigerator is the problem here: "But they still have rainy weeks where they run out of power and have to run their gas-powered generator to keep the refrigerat…

Pubs don't follow everyone on the network. People set them up and give out invites to their friends.

You don't need to trust the security of pubs. Validation of messages happens through cryptographic signing and public messages are public anyways. You also don't need to trust that…

Your computer will only help host data that was hosted by people that you follow. If you don't want to spread content that you disagree with, don't follow people who post such cont…
