  • Who in their right mind would suggest a fucking titan for Plex

    I used a GTX 1660 and that was able to handle pretty much anything I threw at it, especially after unlocking the limit with the driver patch.

    I’d also take a look at the Arc A380. I’m not 100% sure on current compatibility, but on paper that card would be a monster.








  • The whole point is that the token itself doesn’t have any personal info attached to it, only a yes/no and expiry time.

    I’ll even one up my original suggestion - it uses standard public/private key encryption, where the government issues a simple json token with a yes/no Boolean and a TTL. The public key that can decrypt the tokens is public. Pornhub then decrypts the token and verifies the boolean and expiry date, all without talking to the government at all.


  • On one hand, I’m happy the TDF is a much more organized, serious event now to really celebrate the extremes endurance athletes push themselves to.

    On the other hand, shit like this is just kinda fucking charming, and it feels like it just doesn’t happen anymore. Not the act of “looting” cafes in particular, but seeing professional athletes cycling with bottles of beer and wine, eating whatever’s available to them on the route.

    On a sidenote, they translated the units from metric to imperial in the subtitles lol


  • The only implementation I would support is one where the asking website doesn’t know your ID, and the verifying website doesn’t know what you’re trying to visit. Essentially just asking for a one-time use token that verified your age, and providing that token to the website you’re trying to visit.

    Edit for a bit more detail: User authenticates to ID website, which provides them a token with age verification (true/false) and a short (10 minute?) TTL. This token is encrypted by the ID website. User then provides this token to the asking website (eg: pornhub). Pornhub then sends the token back to the ID website to decrypt it. All pornhub knows about you is whether or not you’re of age, and the verifying website never knows what the token is for.
