Hell, as far as I know, E2EE would be indistinguishable from client to server encryption, where the server can read everything without the need for a secret “backdoor key”. You can see that the channel is encrypted, but you can’t know who has the other key.
Piracy (and Anna’s Archive)'s mission is to share information, especially culture, with everyone, regardless of their ability to pay for it and regardless of the geoblocks. Keeping the service hidden may benefit you and the few people that know about it, but it isn’t the purpose of these sites. They felt they were protected enough, and they decided to take another step towards their objective, that’s it.
In practice, nothing’s gonna happen. They already have 4 different domains. Even if they managed to seize the servers and cancel every domain, all of Anna’s Archive data is out there on public torrents, and their software is also FOSS. Anyone can make a mirror.
Nuclear is not economically feasible and still does have its fair share of problems. It also generates waste, even if at far less scale than fossil fuels. Wind and solar are cheap and very scalable in most countries, which makes them economically feasible (and can also accelerate a move from fossil). Don’t be so quick to discard them.
As a matter of fact, last month, in Spain, we generated more energy just from wind than from nuclear. (31.7% vs 21.4%) source
They are, and many of them have existed for centuries. Most cork now is probably synthetic, but there are still some places where people harvest cork.
He’ll do it regardless. Half of what he’s done was already illegal. More of what he’ll do will be illegal. He doesn’t care as long as nobody stops him.
Yeah, but unless you know the hash of a file, you can’t look it up. The gnutella network can find files by name.
And that’s why I think it’s an issue. The least popular tracks, which are the most likely ones to disappear from the internet, are the ones they store in the lowest quality. While I’m glad they made this huge effort for preservation, and understand the limitations of storage space, I also wish they would have at least preserved the original 160kbps streams.
The Avatar movies are mostly a tech demo. They’re impressive when you look at the CGI, all the special effects, the audio, the 3D, the scenes…
The story isn’t bad, it’s just average. Competently made, but predictable. However, it makes sense when you realize the story is just the excuse to make everything else. There has to be one, but it really doesn’t need to be complex as long as it gets to show what Cameron wants to show.
I think most people watch the movies to see the tech demo, and that’s why, despite being some of the highest grossing movies, they don’t have that big of a cultural impact.
They never carried humans to the moon because they didn’t think it was worth it to risk a human life for it. However, they were the first to send satellites to the moon, scan the surface, take pictures of the far end of the moon, land on it, and send a rover to it. In fact, they sent multiple rovers to the moon, and they were not so dissimilar to our current rovers on mars.
The number is the signal you send to the program. There’s a lot of signals you can send (not just 15 and 9).
The difference between them is that 15 (called SIGTERM) tells the program to terminate by itself (so it can store its cached data, create a save without losing data or corrupting, drop all its open connections gracefully, etc). 9 (called SYGKILL) will forcefully kill a program, without waiting for it to properly close.
You normally should send signal 15 to a program, to tell it to stop. If the program is frozen and it’s not responding or stopping, you then send signal 9 and forcefully kill it. No signal is “better” than the other, they just have different usecases.
Funnily enough I still look for the Control Panel before even attempting to find a setting in the Settings app.
The Control Panel is consistent, it works, and it hasn’t changed in years. Meanwhile the Settings app gets rearranged every 2 months, with constant design changes, and it’s also terribly slow on low end devices and VMs.
It’s sad that Microsoft is “unifying” the Windows settings and killing the Control Panel in the process.
Relying on a chance machine to thoroughly test your code sounds like a recipe for disaster
The paper was very poorly written. It has no structure, no argument, it’s short, and the author just writes the same 5 sentences over and over while changing a few words. That writing level does not correspond to a university student, and I would have gotten a 0 for it in 6th grade, regardless of the citations.
My vote goes for Mr. Sooty.
So mysterious. So superb.
Even though the days are named differently in spanish, we still have the same problem. We have 2 days that start with M: “martes” and “miércoles”. Luckily, someone noticed it was an issue and it’s common to use an X for “miércoles” (instead of LMMJVSD, calendars often use LMXJVSD). I find it kinda neat.
It’s been so long since I used Windows. What did they do this time?
From what I can gather, it’s not actually fake. Apparently you need to prompt the AI in a very specific way so that it produces the desired result instead of making the numbers up (which imo defeats the whole purpose of using the AI instead of learning the formulas)

This is old news. Nvidia did have issues with wayland at first, but that was quickly fixed. Most of my machines have Nvidia graphics cards, and all of them run Wayland flawlessly. I suggest that you try it on your machine if you want to see how well it works in your case though, mileage may vary.
I use Unexpected Keyboard.
It’s mainly made for programming or using Termux, and it makes some special characters more accessible than the classic keyboards. It also has a mechanic for typing special characters that makes it faster to type. And you can enable a compose key, which is something I love to see on a phone keyboard.
Unexpected doesn’t have voice recognition though, but it can be enabled by installing a voice recognition app alongside the keyboard.
Indeed he is. Had the misfortune of seeing some of it.
