Fuck, now I have to say fuck ten time to balance out the five censored fucks in this fucking post. Fuck this fucking noise, you’re allowed to say fuck on the fucking internet for fuck’s sake. Fuck.

This requires an Apple iPhone XR or newer, as the face scan utilizes the TrueDepth sensor.

I’d rather take a plaster mold of my face than have to use a specific phone to order a VR headset.

Why would the gift card be for the hospital? Could have been a prepaid credit card just as easily.

I know it’s a joke, but why would a shapeshifter 350 years into the future on a planet 50 lightyears away be guilty of any of the same prejudices that our local cops are?

Who the fuck is out here censoring fuck?

Dependency injection is so much worse. Oh, hey, where’d this value come from? Giant blob of opaque reflection code.

cadekat ,

I’m not exactly sure what you mean. Doesn’t all dependency injection work the way I described?

Without being familiar with the framework, you can’t trace your way from the class getting injected into to the configuration, even if you’re experienced with the language.

cadekat ,

I’m using value in the loosest sense, like how all objects are values.

So now if you have three implementations of IProductService, how do you know which one is configured?

cadekat ,

Yes we should allow them, because the problem isn’t that this tool is available. The problem is that cars and other devices aren’t more secure.

If you broke into a bank vault with a screwdriver, you don’t ban screwdrivers; you get mad at the bank.

cadekat ,

Right? That’s the thing. Car thieves don’t care if the tool is illegal; they’re already planning on stealing a car.

If you make the tool illegal, you’re just making it harder for security experts who do care about the law.

I’d like Gentoo ebuilds to run in a fully isolated namespace/container with only the dependencies explicitly enabled by portage configuration. Something like a mix of nix but with the ebuild syntax.

cadekat ,

You use cards for offline authentication (bars/festivals/etc.), and use a different process for online authentication.

Proving someone has the physical card in their possession (which is what a reader does) isn’t really useful for proving identity when you can’t also check the picture.

cadekat ,

Yes, this. Don’t put your whole home directory in git.

If you haven’t already, take a peek at Harry Potter and the Methods of Rationality. It’s fanfiction, but absolutely worth a read.

Pine and BeagleBoard have some decent options, but they’ll always be more expensive than rpi because of the economy of scale.

"Must Try" distros and DEs?

Hey folks! I’m getting a fresh laptop for the first time in about a decade (Framework 16) in a couple of months and am looking forward to doing some low-level tinkering both on the OS and hardware. I’m planning to convert into a “cyberdeck” with quick-release hinges for the screen since I usually use an HMD, built-in...

cadekat ,

Chiming in to also recommend Gentoo. It’s a pretty stable rolling release distro, with access to pretty new packages when necessary.

cadekat ,

There’s foundation.mozilla.org/en/privacynotincluded/ for privacy, at least.

cadekat ,

Snaps just aren’t ready yet.

Blockchains aren’t exactly the best at proof of personhood. Usually all they can do is make masquerading as multiple people (a Sybil Attack) more expensive.

That’s not to say interesting approaches haven’t come out of blockchain-adjacent work, like passport.gitcoin.co.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ares I think? Don’t understand the quotes though.

Considering Gentoo

I have an old iMac that I am planning to install some flavor of Linux on and while I was looking at various distros it occurred to me that it might be a good exercise to install Gentoo on it. Other than a separate machine for documentation and downloading the necessary packages, what else should I have set up to try this? Has...

cadekat ,

You’ll need to be a bit more specific about the iMac. What year is it?

If it’s pre-2017, I’d expect some difficulty with the WiFi. If it’s newer, you might have luck with wiki.t2linux.org/distributions/…/installation/ . I haven’t followed that guide, so YMMV.

cadekat ,

Go for it then! Gentoo is a blast (if you enjoy this sort of thing) and is surprisingly stable once you get it set up.

One tip, before I forget, is to save your firmware from MacOS before wiping the drive. Unfortunately I don’t remember where it’s located, and no longer have access to try and find it 😅

cadekat ,

Should’ve been, “It was a mistake, in Heinzsight.”

Bit of pedantry, but ~/boot expands to something like /home/username/boot.

/boot is a folder at the root of your filesystem, while ~/boot is a directory in your home folder.

Cat Lovers Rejoice As New Medicine Will Extend Cat Lifespan To 30 Years (www.boredpanda.com)

there is a silent threat that affects kitties – chronic kidney disease. It is a complex and irreversible ailment that typically manifests at around 10 years old in cats, affecting an astounding 1 in 3 felines. As cats age, they gradually lose their kidney function, which significantly compromises their quality of life....

Landlords do provide services: property maintenance and not having to worry about selling the place when you leave. Are landlords paid way too much for these services? Hell yes. That’s more an issue of inadequate supply though, in my opinion.

Similarly, ticket scalpers provide a service, but not to concert goers. Scalpers absorb risk on behalf of the venue/performer. That’s why venues, who could absolutely shut down scalpers, don’t. Still scummy as hell, but don’t absolve the venue of guilt too.

cadekat ,

If there were more available units, you could leave and go to one with better maintenance. There’d be actual competition between landlords to keep tenants.

Not ideal, obviously, since moving is a pretty big life event. I’m not saying increasing supply is the solution to every problem with landlords. Being allowed to withhold partial rent if common elements are broken would probably be a better solution in this particular instance.

It takes a lot of money, planning, and technical know-how to build a nuclear power plant, especially a safe one. It isn’t like a new nuclear company can just pop into existence, and start offering reactors for sale.

Traditional nuclear reactors are, therefore, a technology that requires a lot of centralization to implement. Only nation-states and huge corporations can assemble the resources to construct them.

Compare that to wind or hydro-electric power. You can build a generator with some wire and magnets yourself, so you could call them more decentralized.

This might be changing with modular reactors, I don’t know.

cadekat ,

Won’t that lead to some horrible hug-of-death type scenarios if a post from a small instance gets popular on a huge one?

cadekat ,

If you’re only responsible for caching for your own users, you don’t unduly burden smaller instances.

Caching only if some number of your own users upvote might work.

Germany has been anti-nuclear for some time, unfortunately. That could be what the above poster was referring to?

There’s a three month period after giving notice of resignation in France? Is that just a blanket thing, or part of your contract? Does it work both ways (like if you’re terminated without cause)?
