Not that simple. When carbon in the soil rises beyond a certain percentage (a tree falls) it'll convert back to CO2 because of the bugs eating it. But if the percentage starts at z…

Trees excel at harvesting water. When you water a tree, there is evaporative cooling like an artificial cooler but during the night, the dew falls back on the leaves and the ground…

You're not describing how a tiling WM fails to satisfy your needs. My guess is you're unhappy with toolbars being repeated in each tile, is that it? If so, I believe Suckless's str…

I'm not sure how what you describe is not what a tiling WM offers. Except for the "closing main window" thing but can't you just cancel closing with the history menu?

I'm very curious as well because my very limited understanding tells me the answer is nothing. The relay hides your identity. Your phone checks the attestations so it won't send yo…

The goal is money and control. They enact a partial "solution" so later on they'll say they need more access to private data because of the loopholes. Meanwhile the industry of sur…

The same argument of diminishing returns, that quality of life doesn't improve much when going from 130k€ to 1M€ can be applied to capital controls. Is this 10k€ limit really what …

Depending on the scope, it's not always possible to self-fund while starting a project.

Very sorry to hear that, end of life is hard for many. Thank you for your post and the discussion it brought.

Considering how vast, obscure and absurd the law is, I think it should. As a matter of fact, it often is.

Chrome allows you to export saved password in CSV (chrome://settings/passwords) So I'd say it is a regression in this regard. You won't be able to switch to an other browser easily…

> No, because PBKDFs are not a good mechanism for creating encryption keys I'm curious about what you mean by this. Isn't it in part what PBKDFs are designed for?

The lock-in is very real and relevant. Websites already have a hard time to get users to sign up, so requiring them to enroll backup authenticators (which they won't have) is not g…

I think he means that you don't point your domain's public DNS records straight to your home IP (where your NAS sits), but rather via Cloudflare. If so, doesn't Cloudflare do HTTPS…

Thanks for your reply. I think the issue you describe is more due to the website. A website that accepts Passkeys should provide a way to enroll a competitor. In this case it could…

I wasn't sure what your concern was, but is it that? 1 ) Hardware authenticators won't spit their root secret, almost by design. 2 ) Webauthn doesn't require that the authenticator…

Wood is often protected by plastics. Acrylic wood finish and paint are plastic. Particle boards such as those in many Ikea furniture are covered with a plastic sheet. If you don't …

Do you feel like you got lucky with neighbors? One fear I have is neighbors not liking some weird nerd living next door. Are you extroverted or introverted? Are they mostly nosy or…

Where do you envision this energy to come from and in which timescale? would that be electricity only or a mix? Thank you.

No need to. Trees bury about half their biomass as roots. Then leaves and branches fall on the ground and bury older leaves and branches. Of course it's long and inefficient (becau…

Hi, thank you for this! Is it wrong to say that without going through a privacy layer like I2P, you'd publicly link your IP to the decentralized websites you visit?

If it was in a datacenter, maybe the ventilation was too hard...

What is a realistic lifetime for an injection mold used for Lego bricks? Does someone here know the order of magnitude of pieces you can manufacture with one?

With the rise of the internet I now consider my identity to be valuable. So I don't give it away for free. I personally don't want my identity checked unless I'm asking someone to …

Compare this to 3Dconnexion, a maker of expensive 3D mice for CAD software. They rubberized their mice but the rubber decayed after a couple of years (spent $200+ in the 00's and g…
