Try ~crappy~ regular headset microphone and/or whistling for some basic edge cases :D It worked quite well to start with, but then after a few bars deteriorated to mostly outputtin…

The QR code it shows is quite fancy, better user experience than taking a photo and trying to OCR it ... especially if the beginning of the oops has already disappeared and no tty …

I should have known this exists, yet I didn't. Thanks for pointing it out. This seems to be a direct link to a web form to report (in English): https://eservices.traficom.fi/Contac…

1992 and 1993 are argued in https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=48136937 . Article mentions: > That this approach works was demonstrated during last summer's coup in the Soviet Un…

Isn't it a hub for human trafficking, in particular for pornography and other exploitation/abuse? I have no data on this, only anecdotal evidence from people who have done social w…

No way, bro! I'm no longer an editor, though.

Thanks for pointing this out, to me it seems quite a good response. I wouldn't mind opt-in telemetry, but possibly the participation rate would be too low to make use of it.

Ok, cheers! I occasionally need to investigate older releases and compare to out-of-tree things, and was thinking pgit might be of help there. I put up a reminder for myself to che…

Hey, I tried to import Linux kernel master branch from https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/lin... to pgit. My laptop is not the beefiest (some Ryzen 7 with 16G…

While Jepsen (and this article) is focused on behavior under node failure and network partitions, this caught my eye: > It also exhibits Stale Read, Lost Update, and other forms of…

Disaster is perhaps an exaggeration, but it does seem like this would be another environment, where users need to be aware of a different set of safety and usability measures than …

Trivially, `less` to see README.md of a malicious/compromised open source project. There are perhaps more plausible avenues of exploiting, but this one popped to mind immediately.

Do your financial calculations take into account possible differences between Turkish and Portuguese practicalities? For example: is 1100 euro gross income or after taxes? What kin…

Do you speak Portuguese? Are you interested in learning it? I don't know how big a role it plays in making connections and friends in Portugal, and how important those are to you. …

As a long time Emacs user, I never even tried Gnus, or used it as a calendar (except for some time tracking in org-mode). How would calendar invites work there? How well does it su…

It's unfortunate that g.it isn't available.

Oh, I see. I'm in a similar position, but would rather not see things escalate at all. Even so, it is difficult to see how the relations between Europe and the US would return to w…

I suppose you're not one of the conscripted (or even professional) soldiers that would be called to duty to protect the region in case of an armed conflict?

I feel like that is not specific to emerging economies.

Nice try, Mr. Spy! If I were to guess, probably all of the months (four to twelve) in units that are in the Arctic, and (very close to) zero months in other units. I also don't kno…

As a European (but not Danish), I feel like https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conscription_in_Denmark is quite proactive.

Yes, at least according to the information I have, the card issuer sets the limit. It's not clear to me if the chip actually has to be physically slotted in for reading it, though.…

From a security point of view music listening is quite marginal, I think. The vulnerable headsets make conversations trivial to eavesdrop. Average communication input is in a noisy…

Protip, if you have access to the computer: `lsb_release -a` should list both release and codename. This command is not specific to Ubuntu. Finding the latest release and codename …

> was it a security vulnerability? I'm pretty sure it was "just" a crash. It's a race condition resulting in memory corruption.[1][2] That corruption is shown to result in a crash.…
