What reputable VPNs these days offer port forwarding? That’s a big part of what keeps me on a seedbox.

C is a little older than namespacing and object orientation. C++ wasn’t even a glimmer in Bjarne’s eye when these conventions were laid down.
And yes, having to google it is part of the design. Originally C programmers would have had to read actual manuals about this stuff. Once you learn the names you don’t really forget so it works well enough even now for ubiquitous standard library functions.
And yet, C was an ergonomic revelation to programmers of the time. Now it’s the arcane grandpa that most youngsters don’t put up with.
Oh, so it’s Hashcash; cool to see that idea getting real use.
Combine them into a blazing fast 14.4 MB RAID 0.
He’s absolutely right! He’d be violating a trademark, not copyright.
Gentoo or Manjaro are to Arch? What do you mean? Those two are very different from each other especially in their relationships to Arch.
Turns out massively parallel computation has applications beyond video rendering.
Religion hasn’t had its time so much as it is rapidly evolving along with the rest of society.
Religion does not have to mean sky daddy or even have to imply belief in the supernatural.
This is the exact hole that had me quit Gentoo so many times over the years. When I stopped trying to be cool and just set my system up with KDE it finally stuck and I’ve been happily using it ever since.
Once you’re past setup and understand package management, what is a distro but a desktop environment, after all?
This is part of what I love about the Playdate.
There’s no mention of anything like zero-days in that article. They only mention that it can target all major OSes, with no mention of cutting edge versions also being vulnerable.
Hilariously, the article directly supports my position as well:
The good news for some, at least: it likely poses a minimal threat to most people, considering the multi-million-dollar price tag and other requirements for developing a surveillance campaign using Sherlock
That’s a big part of my whole point. People who don’t do even a modicum of actual thought about a practical threat model for themselves love pretending that ad blocking isn’t primarily just about not wanting to see ads.
If Israel or some other highly capable attacker is coming after you, then fine, you really do need ad blocking. In that case malware in ads is going to be the least of your concerns.
Attacks that cast such a wide net as to be the concern of all web users are necessarily less dangerous because exploits need to be kept secret to avoid being patched.
There’s nothing wrong with taking extra precautions; I’m certainly not saying blocking ads is a bad idea. It’s the apparent confusion that an informed, tech-savvy person might choose not to block ads that makes me laugh.
Huh? The point of this discussion is that I don’t need to block them to keep myself safe in sketchy corners of the web.
You say with such confidence. Is it so hard to imagine people can defend themselves with means other than ad blocking?
Drive-by malware tends not to be zero-days though. I’ve stayed safe for decades just by keeping my software up to date.
Of course; I’m just a lot more worried about the systemic problems of mass surveillance than any practical risk to me individially.
The way people talk about people who don’t block ads is so funny.
I understand and respect the reasons people choose to use blockers, but ads honestly just aren’t that problematic for me in practice and are easy to avoid and ignore.
Nope and yep. It’s an incredible tool, but it’s got a vim-sized learning curve to really leverage it plus other significant drawbacks. Still my beloved one-and-only when I can get away with it, but its a bit of a masochistic acquired taste for sure.
Template tweaking, as I imagine academia heavily relies on, is really the closest to practical it gets. You do still get beautiful results, it’s just hard to express yourself arbitrarily without really committing to the bit.
Who’s barring cannabis users? Red Cross at least only has a problem if your decision-making appears impaired. They don’t even ask you to wait between smoking and donating as long as you’re thinking clearly enough.
Holy shit I think I have the same problem, mesh network and all. I assumed it was a driver issue; thanks for the pointer!
