"Synology launched a trio of enterprise hard drives at 8TB, 12TB, and 16TB capacities along with a trio of “enterprise” NAS units. As part of the dual announcement, Synology is locking its new NAS units from using large hard drives from other vendors, instead only allowing its own hard drives to work in the units. Let us get into what is happening."

Note that the cost of an MX2020 likely exceeds Starlink's cost of building and launching one of their satellites.

Now there is likely to be an relatively few MX2020s in a mid-size carrier (conceding that Starlink will be launching many more satellites) but Starlink has essentially 0 cost infrastructure for last mile deployment other than the satellites themselves.

But lets say Starlink gets to your upper limit of customers (which I assume they will, eventually, assuming they aren't already up against a Shannon limit on their bandwidth,) that is a billion dollars a month at $100 vs ~1.2 billion in launch revenues total in 2020, not even counting high revenue customers like the Department of Defense.

This is going to be a money printing machine for SpaceX once their main cost is just replacing deorbiting satellites and bandwidth on the ground.

The classic answer is that commenters on a blog become a community, and that much of the value of a blog-post is in the discussion. No doubt that if often not true; but on both of my own main blogs it absolutely is. I'll point you at one of them: Sauropod Vertebra Picture of the Week is a palaeontology blog with a knowledgeable and thoughtful readership that often thinks of things that I and my co-author did not. See for example https://svpow.com/2021/02/01/what-a-cervical-vertebra-of-an-...
All Raspberry Pi's, or just those using Raspberry Pi OS? There are other OS choices for your Pi, and I would be surprised if the Microsoft repo made it into all of them.
That's not really it. The majority of participants in the stock market are passive investors.
I totally agree; VR is very isolating, while AR is all about enhancing and augmenting one's interface with the real world. There is no contest: the real world will win, simply because the real world is sophisticated to start with, while anyplace in VR is what you see only, and that's a façade.
Both are pretty similar to one another, basically filling the same niche, just with different languages. So if you're more interested in Python, then by learning Django you probably won't be missing out on much w/ Rails (and given their similarities, learning one makes it easier to learn the other).
OpenOffice is a waste of efforts, sure. It's not really a problem though as there are barely any efforts at all.
I'm actually kinda confused. If chromium had search suggestions, spell checking from google, logging in to google for bookmark sync and safe browsing, etc, then how is chromium particularly de-google'd?

It actually seems like this move by google is what people claim to want: an open source browser that doesn't phone home to google.

"(...) every time an install of Raspberry Pi OS is updated it will ping a Microsoft server. Microsoft will know you're using Raspberry Pi OS/likely Raspberry Pi owner and your IP address."

How is this is an issue? It doesn't require any login and this is exactly what happens with every APT mirror.

I imagine that Raspberry Pi OS is an distro meant for people who simply want things to work out of the box, I can see why the Raspberry foundation would want to add repos for easy installation of the VSCode.

If you want tight control of what happens in your system, you are free to install any other distro you want.
AFAIK, there is no proposal to add a type of DNS record that would allow you to do that. And I don't think that this type of configuration should be done at the DNS level rather that at the HTTP one.

Don't consider picking it up if you don't like it. Stick to other languages that have "more mature and bigger ecosystems" and ones with "better tooling", you'll enjoy them more.

If you pull from a github server, you do so by choice. If you add Microsoft's repo to your apt sources, you do so by the choice. The problem is that the repo was added silently and without giving you a choice.
To put this into perspective, I'd like to kbow how many repos and gpg keys are there already. If microsoft was added to dozens others, then this is a storm in a teacup. If it when from 2 to 3, then the change is more significant.

Lets keep in mind that the central goal of PI OS is education, not security, privacy, sticking it to corporates, IoT, etc.

Trust is hard to gain but easy to lose, and developers have a very long memory.

After almost a decade of gaining trust, Raspbian has now lost a huge amount in a single bad decision. It's yet even clear they even understand the depth of the mistake.

For future Raspberry Pi deployments, I will be sticking with non-Raspbian distributions, like vanilla Debian.
Great post. I've been looking to do something similar with my blog as well, although I've been doing it manually.

It plays like a much less polished (but perhaps prettier) factorio (considering it's early access this isn't necessarily a huge problem. Certainly factorio was far less polished when it was first available on early access). I feel like the bits they've added (3d and space-flight between multiple planets) aren't adding much to the factorio formula at the moment and at the same time make some of the polish in factorio difficult to implement (e.g. due to the heavily curved surface of the planets I don't see how they could make blueprints work well). The lategame seems to drag on a bit because of this: there's a lot of rebuilding of the same infrastrucure on different planets and it can get a little tedious. In comparison to factorio there's less interesting automation puzzles to solve and less tools to solve them with (no trains and no circuit network, for example. They do have things like multiple outputs from one recipe but there's not a great way to balance them).

I feel like if they lean into the differences from factorio there could be an interesting game that's differenciated from factorio: factorio ultimately winds up building towards automating the automation: in the endgame you develop ways of building more and more parallel factory in an efficient manner, using blueprints and robots (and the megabases generally develop a standard pattern for placing these down, speeding up expansion even more). I feel like DSP could go in the other direction: instead of building more of the same basic components, have an upgrade path with more advanced buildings with higher throughput, perhaps with a more complex set of intermediates alongside to make for interesting automation without the repetition (this idea is already present in some of the minecraft mods which inspired factorio and some factorio mods: basically e.g. you can do one iron ore to one iron plate, or you can do one iron ore to two ground up iron ore to molten iron to 2 iron plates, and process 10 plates a second instead of 1). This would perhaps allow a bit more of an epic scale that comes with the idea of building a dyson sphere, as you could build up many orders or magnitude from where you started, as opposed to maybe three between start and end.
Yeah, timewarp is crucial for this to work. But, looking at Dyson Sphere Program, space scenes seem to be already operating under a timewarp (which is implicit in the scaling factor).

Modelling a whole solar system may be tough - planets are really big, and really really far away. But I think that, at the very least, a moon system would work. A central planet with half a dozen moons of varying sizes. Moons can be small and much closer - but they'd be still three or four orders of magnitude greater than what we see in most space games.

If you go in with a headache and get prescribed an antipsychotic, sure. If you have severe depression that just goes away with the right drug, isn't that solving the problem?

The problem with overmedication is when the drugs don't work, or don't work properly. A competent professional would work with you to find the drugs that work for you, not say “here, take this, not interested in hearing your symptoms”. It's usually possible to know when you've got a bad doctor, and usually possible to seek a second opinion.

Hindsight is 20/20. Try not to judge your past actions with current knowledge, that's simply unfair.

The question is did you make the most of the information you had available at the time? If yes, then there is nothing else you could have done. You couldn't have acted differently since you couldn't have known what you know today.

If no, then try to learn from the experience and move on. You can't change the past so no point in dwelling on it.
Only partly true, but I will ask again: What does reimplementing a Flash site in JS have to do with "HTML5 being ready"? How does HTML5 help you with rebuilding the same thing in _JS_? And why does that mean HTML5 is ready? Ready for what?

It still doesn't connect. You can use JS to manipulate an SVG and animate it. You could theoretically just move absolutely positioned colored divs around ... Or you could draw things on a canvas. Does that mean HTML5 "is ready" or "not ready"? It has got nothing to do with it. But yaaay! Lets go! Downvote a comment, which points out a flaw in logic!

The company was one of the video card manufacturers of the time, promoting their large and bulky VR headset. This was around '93-94?

I looked into the Silk Road story again and it looks like I was misremembering how they caught DPR, but splitting your "personally identifiable" and other browsing is still a good idea.

Let's say you use the Tor browser to browse some regular (non-Tor) site that is illegal in your country for whatever reason. But let's say you then remember you still haven't paid your taxes so you open a new tab and quickly go do that. But you're still in the Tor browser, so your e-banking traffic is going out the same exit node as your "illegal" traffic. Now, anyone that saw both of those things come out of the same node can conclude that it's somewhat likely both were done by the same person. If that someone is the government, they can get access logs from your bank and see which account was accessed by the exit node's IP. The more times you do this, the stronger the link between you personally and the illegal site is.

Of course, doing your taxes through the same Tor session is something most people would know to not do, but if your entire device is tunneled through Tor, you no longer have a say in what data it leaks. Your banking app probably sends requests periodically in the background to check for updates or whatever, your email client syncs your emails, etc. If any one of those services can be coerced by your government (and chances are they can) then whatever illegal things you do in that session can be loosely linked to you. I say loosely, because there are many people on one exit node, but the data points start adding up after a while (and depending on the insanity of your leaders, just being on the list of candidates might be enough to disappear you).

As for how they would get that metadata in the first place, there are a few ways. The exit node might be under their jurisdiction, but since we're talking about bypassing censorship, it certainly isn't. They could also have compromised the "illegal" server (hacked/coerced/honeypot...), in which case it's just a matter of cross-referencing the site's logs with anything they can get their hands on (and if the government is authoritarian enough, they probably already have access to a lot). The last option is compromising the exit node, which is also not impossible. There's nothing stopping your government from setting up a thousand Tor exit nodes and logging all the metadata. If you're constantly running Tor, chances are you land on one of their exit nodes eventually.

DISCLAIMER: the above was probably a bit too paranoid, but as I have zero experience hiding from an authoritarian government, I'm not in a position to judge how much paranoia is justified. It's entirely possible that none of this applies because your specific adversary doesn't employ these specific de-anonymization tactics, but that is something you need to know for your specific situation. I assumed an "everything is fucked" threat model here, but yours might not be as severe and other types of mitigations might be more appropriate.
I've ran a blog that was quite popular within the torrent community. The comment section itself was a reason to visit the blog. If you have an active community or you want to build an active community comments are a must.

Also, it allows to add more value to your blog at very little effort. If you have someone who comes along and points out another use-case for your information or raises a doubt which you can answer then your blog post has become more valuable.

If your blog is just so you can write what you currently think about things then there is little value.

As a former american football player I find that watching the game is not as exciting as playing it. From the outside, and if you don't know about all the micromanagement and stuff going on, american football looks rather "static".

Other sports are much more "obviously dynamic" and are therefore probably better suited to be watched through TV or VR.
I'm not surprised by this:

- The RPi Foundation exists to educate children. There is no mention of "open" on their About page and there are the long running discussions about how open their hardware is and the reliance on proprietary blobs for the GPU [0]

- The 'maker' community interest was originally a surprise to them [1] which still staggers me given that Arduino had long been a thing

- MS has a history of capturing the budgets of educators and attention of young minds. The education computer market in the UK used to be dominated by Acorn and Apple until MS decided they wanted a piece of the pie and decided that computer education in schools should be about learning to use Office [2]
