> Let's be honest here: videogames aren't nearly as elaborate as many of them were just one or two decades ago, when many developers were having fun making them and putting in tons of effort without as many market constrictions and demands. Then you have, on the other hand, indie games, which tend to be just a glorified demo which uses technical limitations to its advantage, mainly aesthetically.

I'll agree with other commenters pointing out the wealth of amazing games that fit neither category you describe. Hollow Knight, for example, feels like a small team just went bananas offering a ridiculous amount of high quality content for a low price. I could name a whole bunch more that others haven't already. They're far from 'glorified demos that use technical limitations to their advantage'. Hollow Knight has been considered perhaps the best 'Metroidvania' by critics and fans alike.

Even a game like Celeste, which perhaps gets closer to being 'technically limited' and literally came from a demo game jam, is one of the best platformers I've played in my life.

The way I see it, your argument has some degree of merit insofar that the 'mainstream' of gaming got a ton bigger, more global, and more lucrative. This also happened to film and music.

But it's needlessly pessimistic to conclude that as a result there's less quality.

I'm a very picky gamer and since I don't make some artificial distinction between triple-A games and 'indie games', I could spend a hefty chunk of money on a monthly basis buying only the games I consider truly amazing. This has not been the case historically, at least in my experience.

Telegram has been sued over and over in many countries for refusing to provide that info, and kept fighting (both legally and technologically - via smart proxy-server rotation, addresses distributed over Apples/Google's push notifications etc.).

Here's the case for Russia - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blocking_Telegram_in_Russia (eventually the govt has blocked over 20 million (!) IP addresses, including Google's and Cloudflare's, and that disrupted 30% of the Internet in the country, but the app just kept working fine)
Electric aircraft for shorter trips instead of trains. The battery energy density still needs to improve somewhat but that is happening.

They’d allow for serving more direct (point to point) routes than trains as the infrastructure cost is so much lower than laying and maintaining tracks. Rail serving high volume routes still makes sense, especially while electric plans remain relatively small.
Again, I don't know, but I'm comfortable speculating that it is (partially). The other obvious reason that I could think of is that Colorado is a very appealing location to live (for some people) and when you are trying to attract talent, it could be used as an incentive to get them to join the company. Another reason, could be customers located in the area.

These IP addresses are also routed through so-called premium PoPs of Cloudflare. I get never routed through IST when connecting to websites on Free plan. Seeing that Cloudflare accepts card payments and PayPal only, why the adversary is not focusing on the payment method that made the purchase?

... and with other obscure OSes too.

That's why after all these years I am still interested in the Firmware or the hypervisor level emulation of the optical drive.

Maybe by even including the whole virtual storage controller (like Adaptec 29160N SCSI Card), OpROM on which could support boot seamlessly for most BIOS or UEFI firmwares.

And which would be supported by most PC OSes including some more obscure like MS-DOS, OpenBSD, Solaris 10, BeOS, MorphOS.

(Or maybe by trying to integrate the emulated ODD subsystem into physical USB stack. Which I guess would be a lot more difficult)

I think I do get your point, however my emphasis is on when you replace "person," with "key," or "secret," it explains the consequences of the key distribution problem.

The system that requires only one honest participant seems stable, except when that one person has a small but non-zero likelihood of compromise. A system that requires N/2 honest people - each of whom have a probability of compromise, it depends on whether that probability is independent or dependent. In the dependent case, you are correct, the more people you need to trust, the higher the likelihood of one bringing whole thing down, but in the independent (e.g. federated) case, the consequences are contained.

I'm saying that the diagram as interpreted from the perspective of the consequences of failure shows that if you turn the 1/N section red instead of green, it indicates the level of catastrophe. We could be running up against the limits of the chart's heuristic analogy, but viewing trust as flowing downstream over time from the root node of a tree , and asking how many root nodes of trust you need for a robust system, shows that the fewer the roots of trust, the greater the impact of a compromise.

I'd considered whether replacing those node keys with multipart keys would change things, but the whole concept of a compromise is an exogenous phenomenon, that is, what this trust tree/graph is made of doesn't change the effect of some super force finding a way to compromise a node. If a trust model is just a graph, then it will be the properties of that graph that determine the qualities of the model - and not what the nodes and relationships themselves are made of.

That final point would be my big-leap conjecture.

Sure, but safe Rust functions can _always_ be used safely. If your function cannot always be used safely, either it is an `unsafe` Rust function, or your program is broken according to the Rust spec.

Publishing safe Rust APIs that are _intentionally_ unsound should at best be warned about to any other crate that depends on it. Ideally, those authors and their crate would simply be banned.

PDF format is a nightmare and if you delve deep enough my experience is even the latest Adobe Acrobat can become confronted by repeated or large volumes of imports and changes around named destinations, bookmark, tags etc.

Other PDF packages like Foxit etc are still only available as 32 bit version, and there seems nothing available for Linux that comes close to being fully featured and creating identical format outcomes as Acrobat, something is fishy here.

At the moment I regularly have DC just close for no good reason after importing a few thousand named dests and convert to bookmarks etc, and it's not just my PC or install.

Things that look/seem like they should be simple can be incredibly obfuscated, to the point there seems to be a whole industry selling plug-ins over and above standard Adobe Acrobat features. And a lot of it is basic stuff you would take for granted in any other text creation/management tool/format.

And this is for something with an ISO standard, wtf?.

It's hard to know what to use otherwise if you need a widely (note I say widely) accepted format with security/digital signing etc and (perceived) immutability and DRM, but it is a pity that something better did not take the crown.
This is great! Thanks for sharing it. Obviously a labor of love.
you raise a great point. why not install the package, then delete the /usr/bin files you don't need?

I use motionEye to monitor RTSP feed from two IP cameras (Generic) on RPi 3(SSD, btrfs, zswap, ArchLinux ARM - headless, passive cooling - heat sink case) the feed averages around 30fps(720p) with motion detection. I had a third logitech c720 via USB but removed it to get better frame rates for the former and make room(CPU) for a SDR setup(To receive 433Mhz from other sensors).

Note: Generic IP cameras dial home for public identification on their apps and also would never receive security updates. I had to meticulously block all open ports using firewall. If you feel that's too much of risk, then I would suggest building a camera setup with RPi camera or ESP camera yourself to be used with motionEye.

You're welcome.

I'd definitely mention Poland, since "made in EU" is a big bonus for everyone in the EU (both for privacy and for billing/payments). If the data isn't uploaded, the servers don't matter for that part. They're relevant regarding you user's personal data (e.g. their IP), but if their CSV doesn't touch the server, that's ideal from a privacy perspective. You'll still need to put your use of Google into your privacy information, but that's a formality and very few people (especially in a company setting) care about their own PII being stored on your server - it's other peoples' PII that they get in trouble for.

At least for enterprise customers, you might also need to be more transparent about yourself, i.e. "Who's offering this service". You'll need to have it for billing anyways, and will also require it in your privacy notice ("who's responsible, who can I contact about my data").

> Kiwi Farms, Wikileaks, Backpage, 8chan, Bitchute, American Renaissance

Kiwi Farms:

"Kiwi Farms, formerly known as CWCki Forums, is an American Internet forum dedicated to the discussion of online figures and communities it deems "lolcows". The targets of threads are often subject to doxing and other forms of organized group trolling such as ongoing harassment and stalking, including real-life harassment by users."[1]

Backpage:

"Backpage was a classified advertising website that had become the largest marketplace for buying and selling sex by the time that federal law enforcement agencies seized it in April 2018. [...]

Backpage's adult services sections became the subject of an investigation by the Federal Bureau of Investigation, [...and other agencies] over accusations that the website knowingly allowed and encouraged users to post ads related to prostitution and human trafficking, particularly involving minors, and took steps to intentionally obfuscate the activities."[2]

Bitchute:

"BitChute is a video hosting service known for accommodating far-right individuals and conspiracy theorists."[3]

American Renaissance:

"American Renaissance (AR or AmRen) is a monthly white supremacist online publication founded and edited by Jared Taylor. It is published by the New Century Foundation, which describes itself as a "race-realist, white advocacy organization"."[4]

That's all a little more than "controversial" - most of this stuff is plainly illegal and has led to real-life harm. There were good reasons why those sites were "censored".

I'd guess if this gains traction, the caching on Cloudflare's side will usually make up for this, and if it hits the actual mirror behind it, the load on that one should be lower than before. It reads like they will try to proxy multiple local mirrors so time will tell how well they will pick amongst them. I'm switching for now to see how it will perform over a longer period.

Your critique of some of these bigger titles and studios is not wrong, but you are generalizing it into a farce of the modern gaming world.

Did you consider perhaps you changed, and don't have the same wonder and ability to immerse yourself in games as you did 20 years ago.
This is really interesting. Obviously evidence in mice is a long way away from demonstrated safety & efficacy in humans but I'll be curious to see where this one goes. If non-healthcare-professionals could be trained to administer a nasal vaccine (the way many non-hcps are able to carry and administer nasal naloxone in case of opiate overdose), it seems like it might potentially make vaccine adoption faster or more widespread.

The Invisible Rainbow: A History of Electricity and Life by Arthur Firstenberg
Ralf Jung's views there are perfectly reasonable.

unsafe { ... }

is a soundness proof, it reads "the code within this block is sound".

People lying about having proved safety in their crates accidentally is bad. People doing this intentionally is extremely bad and I wish there was a way to automatically reject being able to depend on intentionally unsound crates in crates.io (or ban their authors are their crates from pushing anything to crates.io since they cannot be trusted).

Code generators that automatically generate thousands of broken soundness proof en masse and by design are IMO the ultimate evil. They completely defeat Rust's purpose. It makes absolutely no sense to interface Rust and C++ in this way, and the people doing this would be better off by just sticking to C++ instead of trying to make safe Rust unsound.

If safe Rust cannot be trusted, Rust value proposition is _dead_ (you cannot hack without feat anymore, refactor without fear, avoid segfaults, ...). This people are writing tools to automatically generate massive amounts of broken Rust code. If crates.io does not protect Rust users from them, we need a different crate repository that does.
Repeatedly poke the maintainers of the mirror and the core developers alternately until everyone gets mad and does something about it. :P

Alternatively (/ realistically), perhaps CF would prefer the value-add of rerouting where there are newer packages instead of the singular approach of geo-routing. Definitely let them know.

I'm seeing multiple comments in this subthread, I'd apply the 2nd line above to everyone affected, if a bunch of people let CF know maybe they'll figure something out.
That nobody is perfect and not to discount their contributions because of who they are. Everyone has flaws and by that token, when looked through the worst possible moral lens, nobody deserves respect.

I imagine this is the way most criminals rationalize their work.
And I explained.

Either you change the C++ lib to not behave unsafely for inputs.

Or you manually change the binding to keep the invariant.

The assumption behind linking to C++ code is that it doesn't contain unsoundness. If it does the library was fucked way before.

There are lots of laws and regulations around building to prevent e.g. bridges falling down.

So just remove them. Now buildings have gotten much cheaper to build, which means they have become way more affordable, and the types of businesses who need that kind of building are in heavy competition with each other and their problems and needs change at breakneck speed.

Failing that, keep the regulations, and apply more to software. The "needs" of business will change, and competition will move. "Slow-and-steady" needn't be glacial, and there's a lot between that and "breakneck speed".

Plus there is a difference between time it takes to deliver, and frequency of requirement collection - your example implies you get requirements/sign-off exactly once before final delivery (5 years later). If we contrast "final" delivery with intermediate releases - why are the requirements not re-evaluated at each release time? You can still have slow, steady development, with lots of feedback - there just has to be an understanding that software delivered long term should not be interfered with short term concerns.
I actually disagree with you completely, but I understand where it’s coming from.
