This is officially the worst argument yet. Who cares about what some fake god thinks, we have to deal with our own very real issues around power generation and anthropogenic climate change.

Kazumara ,

Huh I had no idea!

I’m pretty sure I compressed that image in our computer vision class with some alogrithm we implemented for exercise. I though that was just some artsy over the shoulder picture, but seeing the full version the shoulder does seems supicious in hindsight.

Kazumara ,

The Systems group at ETH Zürich where I studied had their own operating system, called Barrelfish because apparently making an OS is as easy as shooting fish in a barrel to these crazy people (this is meant positively, I hold them in high esteem). Side note they also made their own computer called Enzian. The combination of both is intended to allow them to do research off the beaten path with some different core design choices.

And we built our own student versions of barrelfish-like OSes during a course, if I recall correctly we only used their boot code to get the ARM cores on the Pandaboards up and running, then everything else was individual per group of four. We all had a lot of fun with our very individual memory management bugs, filesystem bugs, shell bugs, capability bugs and so on :-)

PS: There is also Redox OS where some people wrote an OS completely in Rust.

Kazumara ,

Yeah if we narrow the question down to specifically consumer level OSes, then the best chance would be if some really big conglomerate decided they needed their own independent thing. Like Google did with Fuchsia, next time Samsung or the Chinese State perhaps. But even then a scenario like Android or Tizen would be the more likely outcome, a different userland implemented on Linux.

Kazumara ,

Agreed, and since we’re at it, same for compilers honestly.

Kazumara ,

Yes, if I recall correctly the Darwin kernel does implement the POSIX standard.

As a linux user, do you know about/use openwrt?

I have many nerdy friends who have been Linux users for ages. But most of them don’t know such a thing as Openwrt exists or have never bothered to give it a try. It’s a very fun piece of software to play with and can be extremely useful for routing traffic. Wondering why it isn’t more popular/widely used.

Kazumara ,

Yeah of course! Once I went on a buying spree of used WNDR3700. They were so cheap and I won a few too many bids at once.

I gave one to a flatmate when we lived together as students and he took it with when he moved out. Put one in the office room of my current flatmate and still have one or two in reserve. I usually take one with me to LAN-parties.

Before that I once used DD-WRT on a WRT54GL. It also wasn’t bad from what I remember.

Kazumara ,

You haven’t mentioned what sort of access link or speed you have, that seems very relevant here.

For my 1Gbit/s fiber connection the Edgerouter 6P has been pretty good. It has an SFP port and can route 1 Gbit/s of traffic without issue and my dual-stack setup works well too.

The only significant downside is that its switching is slow, it has no hw support. So I put my NAS on a separate subnet instead so that the traffic to it can be routed instead.

Kazumara ,

I think that the ones who revolted against their preparatory enshittification aren’t Reddit users anymore (hence why I’m here), and the ones who didn’t revolt won’t do it now either.

Kazumara ,

Don’t downvote this guy. He’s mostly right. Creative works have copyright protections from the moment they are created. The relevant question is indeed if they have the relevant permissions for their use, not wether it had protections in the first place.

Maybe some surveillance camera footage is not sufficiently creative to get protections, but that’s hardly going to be good for machine reinforcement learning.

Kazumara ,

My wife tells me that using as an adjective is just as bad and that I should always say “woman”, e.g. a woman politician and never a female politician.

Using a noun as an adjective is just weird, honestly.

Kazumara ,

And why isn’t “a male” just as bad?

It is.

And what’s intrinsically wrong about those two as a noun?

Because you’re reducing people to their characteristics of identity.

Why is it ok to call someone “a fire fighter“, “a journalist”, and not “a female”?

Because those are characteristics of their chosen functions.

It seems pretty easy to me, and I’m not even a native speaker.

Kazumara ,

If I ever started customizing my KDE Plasma, then that would be the last direction I’d ever go in.

Premium product experience

The hardware is pretty premium, but the software is such a pain. As a result the overall experience is just “okay”.

Kazumara ,

Because the FHS is a more sensible organization of files. Not every user needs to have their own executable for each program, that’s a mess.

in a couple hundred more countries

There are only around 195 countries in the first place and the EU represents 27 of them. So I’m afraid there isn’t a couple hundred more available to fine Apple.

How often do you change your mobile phone plan?

I feel like every two years I need to call my carrier and complain if I want a decent deal. They will do things like upgrade my plan on their website to have 10 extra gigabytes of data but won’t upgrade me to it until I contact them. There’s also all the new member exclusive deals that I feel make it impractical to just sit...

Kazumara ,

In the 15 years I’ve had a mobile phone I have changed around 5 times. But the last one was just an upgrade that added 40 GB of data while roaming in the EU, US and Canada to my previous unlimited plan for Switzerland only. That increased the cost from 20 to 25 Swiss Franks per month.

Kazumara ,

DOOM Eternal on Nightmare is so much fun. I filled all three saveslots with runs of it. And then the DLC came out, kicking it up another notch!

Kazumara ,

When I first played DOOM I was a bit afraid of the monster sounds. I would usually ask my little sister if she could color her things in my room so I wouldn’t be alone while playing. I was way too bad to ever finish the game back then. I used to ask my father to make me “untötbar” (unkillable) because the word “unverwundbar” (invulnerable) was too difficult for me.

But I really like the reboot and DOOM Eternal especially.

Asking for a Linux (or non-Windows) laptop during a job interview?

I’m interviewing for a software dev job currently (it’s in the initial stages). If things work out, I’d absolutely prefer a work laptop with Linux installed (I personally use PopOS but any distro will do), a Mac will be second choice, but I absolutely cannot tolerate Windows, I abhor it, I hate it… (If all computers left...

Kazumara ,

As a Linux user, you can pretend the os x is just Linux. That’s not true, but you can make it work with brew, some googling and your favourite ide / tech stack.

You can, but it’s still a miserable experience because the GUI is opinionated and its opinion is shit. I’ve been on that boat for three years now.

Kazumara ,

helloSystem sounds miserable. Copying all the weird things that macOS does and hiding how things work in favour of “simplicity”

Kazumara ,

I think combining both makes sense: Usually I use the bike or public transit to get around. But today I rented an EV from a local rideshare company (Skoda Enyaq iV80 4x4) because we had to move an entire rack of equipment between two cities for work.

Wow the SEO world is really sick

The easy way to get a clean copy is to download it directly from Microsoft. You can generate a valid download link using the follwing website (just make sure the domain of the generated link points to Microsoft and nothing bad can happen)

As for the activation, I have found that the My Digital Life Forums have good activators available usually:

I'm looking for a TOS-breaking telegram client that strips out all the premium shit

Hello fellow pirates! I’m tired of having all the telegram premium ads and antifeatures in the client and I’m looking for a client that removed them even if it’s against the TOS. Any tips? I’d rather use an actual open source fork than a cracked version of the original...

Kazumara ,

Oh how does one use Signal as a Telegram Client?

Kazumara ,

Ah so you didn’t actually answer OPs question, I misunderstood your intent.

Kazumara ,

the original 1s and 0s

I think your issue starts there, you already have to decide how to build your sensor:

  • If it’s a CMOS sensor how strong do the MOSFETs amplify? That should affect brightness and probably noise.
  • How quickly do you vertically shift the data rows? The slower the stronger the rolling shutter effect will be.
  • What are the thresholds in your ADC? Affects the brightness curve.
  • How do you layout the color filter grid? Will you put in twice as many green sensors compared to blue or red as usual? This should affect the color balance.
  • How many pixels will you use in the first place? If there is many each will be more noisy, but spacial resolution should be better.

All of these choices will lead to different original 1s and 0s, even before any post-processing.

Kazumara ,

I mean we haven’t seen any proof, but Stefan Züger of Fortinet told that story as a supposedly true event to Journalists of CH-Media. The very article Kevin Beaumont posts says that the scenario is a real event.

Kazumara ,

What I said was still true according to his even newer followup; Fortinet really told that to the Journalists:

cyberplace.social/…/111895724464138614

I’m really glad Kevin got them to admit it was a fabrication. The way he asserted that it was a made up example first, before having anything concrete to back it up, made him seem unreliable to me at first.

Kazumara ,

Wrong country, dude

Btw did you know Swiss cheese has copy protection? I know the thought is pretty random, but I thought I’d share anyway.

That seems weird, it’s called mother of all breaches, but isn’t the result of any one breach. It’s just data collection from ordinary breaches with perhaps some credential stuffing in the mix.

Kazumara ,

600 $ for a card without 16 GB of VRAM is a big ask. I think getting a RX 7800 XT for 500 $ will serve you well for a longer time.

Kazumara ,

Is this indicative of future potential bottlenecks? Maybe but i wouldnt be so sure.

This is exactly what I expect. I have seen what happened to my friends with their GTX 970 when 3.5 GB of VRAM wasn’t enough anymore. Even though the cards were still rasterizing quickly enough they weren’t useful for certains games anymore. Therefore I recently make sure I go for enough VRAM to extend the useful service life of my cards.

And I’m not just talking about buying AMD, I actually do buy them. I first had the HD 5850 with 1GB, then got my friends HD 5870 also with 1GB (don’t remember if I used it in crossfire or just replaced), then two of my friends each sold me their HD 7850 with 2GB for cheap and I ran crossfire, then I bought a new R9 380 with 4GB when a game that was important to me at the time couldn’t deal with crossfire well, then I bought a used RX 580 with 8GB and finally the RX 6800 with 16 GB two years ago.

At some point I also bought a used GTX 960 because we were doing some CUDA stuff at University, but that was pretty late, when they weren’t current anymore, and it was only used in my Linux server.

Kazumara ,

I thought this was supposed to be here: git.mihon.dev/mihon, without github

Kazumara ,

Sounds like low trust society issues to be honest. I only see those systems expanding in Switzerland, and they never use annoying scales or complain about unexpected items, because there aren’t even any sensors for that.

Kazumara ,

Tachiyomi used to have that, but nowadays it only asks for access to one folder and does all its business in there.

Kazumara ,

These people are so hardcore, I love reading their news, there is at least one thing that makes me go WTF in a positive sense every time

You want that thread, not this one

Kazumara ,

When I get a call at home while already wearing my wired headset I like to just plug it into the phone.

Since my current phone was bought used I had to compromise on some things, so I don’t have a headphone jack anymore. I use a USB-C Adapter now. I use it for most phone calls, especially the longer ones with family. So probably for a few hours per month.

For quite a long time, until about 2021, I was still using wired headphones when on the go, but nowadays I’m addicted to noise cancelling, so that use case has moved to Bluetooth now. My protective headsets from work (both the over-ear and the in-ear set) also use Bluetooth.

Kazumara ,

Of course he doesn’t want that, he strengthened Hamas specifically so there would be no single clear entity in the PNA with which he would have to negotiate for a two state solution. Except he underestimated Hamas and they became too strong. I don’t understand what his current theory of victory is though… annexing Gaza?

87% of teenagers use Apple

Do you mean US American teenagers, or North American teenagers, or who exactly? Surely that can’t be global?

Kazumara ,

The way you use “PC” as a synonym for “Windows” proves that you are indeed a long term Mac user.

Regular bathing isn’t what you want, frequent bathing, that’s important. What good is it if someone bathes with great regularity on the first of every month?

Kazumara ,

I think that both hollow core fibers filled with air and others with just vacuum exist, but it’s a bit far from my operational reality, so I’m not that sure. I just read in industry news that euNetworks has deployed 45 km of Lumenisity hollowcore fiber and that Microsoft bought Lumensity

Kazumara ,

Yes, to get their speeds they used the usual wavelength division multiplexing, except over an insane 750 wavelength channels, space division multiplexing over the 38 corse with 3 modes, and 256 QAM with dual-polarization in each

Kazumara ,

For perspective, at work for our production network through Switzerland, we use at most 16 QAM with dual-polarization, and at most 88 channels (except we never utilize more than maybe 10). With just normal single mode single core fibers. This paper has just everything blown up in all directions of cool.
