First choice: 292 K

Second choice: 9 C

If we’re talking only outdoor temperature, third choice is 100 F, because air conditioning exists, and my peppers would thrive.

If it’s ambient indoor temperature too, then I pick 9 F, which is unpleasant, but survivable. At 100 F indoors, you will be constantly sweating for the rest of your life.

The cell membrane is the wall of the cell. I know it’s less catchy, but human cells don’t have a cell wall.

My problem with that theme is that it doesn’t highlight any buttons. I believe all buttons should have borders, especially the ones the titlebar. This helps distinguish a noninteractive label from an interactive clickable button.

I like git add because then you can do git diff --staged

Copyright’s purpose is to improve the public domain. If it doesn’t do that, then its harmful and should be reduced or abolished.

To keep copyrighted content relevant at the point it enters the public domain, copyright should be shortened to 20 years for creative works (films, music, paintings, Spongebob).

Consider the current public domain, which contains things like fairy tales. People remix and retell fairy tales all the time, and it makes for good stories.

When I worked on OpenStack for a few years, 80% of the bugs I fixed were type errors that could have been prevented by Python being staticly typed.

Midwesterner here. Surveys show Trump’s approval rating between 40% and 50%, and here on the ground, I believe it. A lot of people are seriously misled. Fox News, OAN, and Newsmax are considered legitimate news sources, so a lot of people truly believe that Trump is improving things.

It will take decades to deprogram all the people who fell for the alt-right’s tricks.

Sure, here are some:

The main feature would be that if flathub (or a hacker with access to flathub) acted maliciously, digital signatures would prevent them from issuing malware infested updates to flatpaks. Only the software’s originator would have the cryptographic key needed to sign releases of the software.

The risk of dependency vulnerabilities is real.

Also, flatpak packages are not digitally signed, unlike apt and all other major Linux distro package managers.

One time I was getting estimates for server software for an embedded device I had made. In a teleconference, I told one company that our prototype server ran on nginx. They emailed us an estimate saying we had to switch our embedded system to Windows 10 IoT Enterprise, and put the server on Microsoft’s cloud, because “Engine X is not an enterprise web server.”

Post-quantum isn’t really a big problem because it will be a very long time before there are viable quantum computers (maybe never). You should focus on the very real risks of security breaks from normal negligence and design errors.

Threema seems pretty unpopular, so the risk is highest. Signal and Matrix are both popular and have a lot of scrutiny on their cryptography.

All 3 have open source clients, but Signal contains some binary blobs. Only Matrix has an open source server, though end-to-end encryption enforced by the client alleviates most of the concern of proprietary servers. All 3 support end-to-end encryption.

It’s an issue.

You can’t create an account on desktop. You can’t create multiple accounts. You can’t create an account at all if you don’t have a phone number. You can’t create an account if your phone number’s previous owner created an account. Signal can be subpoenaed for your phone number.

This article seems like a lot of FUD written from an anti-FOSS perspective. In their second point, they say that F-droid’s inclusion policy is “ridiculous” for requiring programs exclude proprietary software. I think the author is ridiculous for asking for this. This is what F-droid is for. I don’t want any proprietary apps or libraries on my phone. If developers only want to work on their proprietary software, they don’t get into F-droid. If they make a modified FOSS version and put it in F-droid, and let it bitrot and go unpatched when vulnerabilities are discovered, and F-droid issues a security advisory for that program, that’s not F-droid’s fault.

I’ve done this with Debian before, and it works fine. Linux usually mounts the root filesystem based on its UUID, so it doesn’t matter if changing the motherboard caused a change from /dev/sda to /dev/sdb .

If you use the proprietary Nvidia driver, make sure to update it to a version that supports the new video card. If you use the open source Nvidia driver, you should be fine even if it’s old, because it will at least support starting up in an unaccelerated mode.

Trump isn’t the politician I most loathe. He’s just the only politician that I’ve ever feared might kill or imprison me purely for who I am.

The article is from December, so the interviewer couldn’t have asked about their CEO’s recent betrayal: https://insights.priva.cat/p/does-proton-still-stand-for-anything

No, I would rate-limit them. OP is getting a non-rate-limited block. If OP has an ISP problem where they can’t access the site, this VPN may be their only option.

I think catloaf’s idea is good, but no tech company accepts RMA requests by paper mail.

I don’t use VPNs, but plenty of sites using datadome.co will arbitrarily block me at my residential ISP. datadome.co will first ask you to complete a captcha, and upon your success, you are immediately blocked with no recourse. Here’s a typical screenshot: (not mine)

The “contact support” link opens a contact form that goes to a black hole. I’ve filled out dozens, and never gotten a response.

That’s no excuse. An RMA form is something that all their customers are entitled to use. If anyone finds their IP address blocked, even a VPN IP address, then their warranty claim has effectively been blocked for an invalid reason.

The company has failed their warranty obligations.
