Pulseaudio has network support. You should be able to share your microphone. Of course you need to run pulseaudio inside the container, too. So it's no longer an application container, but a system container.

I used system containers in the past, they are not always easy. No idea whether it would work with podman.

Now that I think about it: The browser obviously uses the display of the host. How? Only over X11 network protocol? That worked in the past, does it still work today? I thought modern browsers would need /dev/dri/? If that is made available, why would Webcams not be possible?

There is a third way. Financial institutions cannot facilitate money laundering (well...). But they can’t just let that hang. You do due diligence, you’re either happy that the business looks legit enough, or you have doubts . In the latter case you inform authorities, and they sort the question. Either you get the go ahead or you’re dealing with a criminal, and the state takes it out of your hands.

You can imagine a similar model for payments. The bank can’t just indefinitely say “umm not sure”, it has to go one way or the other.
I'm curious about what made you reach that understanding. My guess is that you either tried or heard from someone who tried to open channels with some LN giant like Bitrefill. You shouldn't do that. Big channel operators don't want to dilute their liquidity with unreliable small channels. You should instead establish a channel to a smaller node that may be directly or indirectly connected to that merchant. LN is all about routing.

Also in the thread's context we are talking about Visa and Mastercard banning merchants right? In a scenario where the LN is widely adopted that merchant can setup and run BTCPayServer (https://btcpayserver.org) to maintain his own independent LN or on chain payment process system.

As for users, there has been work to facilitate nodeless operation on software wallets. Probably based on https://github.com/lightninglabs/neutrino. I know Blue Wallet is building something based on a lightweight LN node so people can establish channels from their personal wallets (https://github.com/BlueWallet/rn-ldk). There is an Android exclusive wallet that (https://lightning-wallet.com) can do that and Muun (https://muun.com) is doing some smart tricks to provide nodeless and custodial LN experience.
> presumably the frets are equal-temperament semitones apart

Guitars are made of wood, which bends (both the neck and the top) as one adjusts the tension of the strings. As the neck bends, the length of the string between the bridge and nut changes, and
the height of the strings above the fingerboard varies in quite a complex way along the neck, changing the amount of tension added by pushing the string down to hold it against the fret.
Similar changes in frequency occur as frets and fretboard wear down a little, increasing the distance needed to properly fret a string.

The neck and top will warp and bend with age, with changes in temperature and humidity. And after a guitar has been played a while, it will have been worked over by one or more guitar technicians. There are so many variables that nothing can be taken for granted. Using accurate electronic tuners is presumably the simplest and fastest way for guitarists to maintain respectable pitch in most musical presentations.

In most environments it is better to use latest JDK release not some old one.

LTS is associated not with version number but with vendor that provides JDK. So if you don't pay any vendor then you don't have LTS, you just have a number and hope it is in some way better thant any other number - which is not.

OpenJDK has no notion of LTS, they release new versions every 6 months, vendors decide which one of those will be supported with fixes, e.g. Azul decided that their JDK 13 and JDK 15 will be supported with fixes for longer their JDK 12 and 14.
This is not whataboutism, because the author is arguing that we wouldn't say France is supporting it. And if you agree, then it doesn't make sense to treat the U.S. differently.

Whataboutism would instead say something like: Well France is supporting it too, why are you focusing so much on the U.S.?

Before this thread i had no idea assert was debug only in python.

Another solution would be to accept the current role of assert as quick error checking and add in debug_assert to indicate a conditional error check. The biggest issue with that approach is that a majority will suddenly ask "Wait, python has a debug mode?"

Looks like there was no informant. He contacted the French Embassy on his own and after that, the French government cooperated with the FBI.

Prediction: he'll take a plea. In mitigation, France is an ally. Aggravation: these are nuclear secrets. France will not come to his aid, as Israel did for Pollard for many years, unsuccessfully. Fortunately, there was no real harm. 20 years unless he gets a particularly harsh judge. Worst case: 40.
When I was a kid we had one that loved to roll on its back and get a tummy scratch. That one had a distinct personality. We were all very sad when it was time to butcher it. Then there are all the anecdotes every year when the pig would run away and my father or uncle would chase it with the hammer or axe to knock it out. Around here all the slaughters traditionally happened in a few days in November so the whole village would be echoing with squeals. The smells were intensive, images of intestines, scalding and scraping... It was really overwhelming for me as a child.

> the strategic risk of stealing the US nuclear subs' secrets is astronomical

The risk is none. What is going to happen exactly?

France probably routinely try to steal military secrets from the USA. That's business as usual for modern countries. The USA spies on all its allies. There was a minor scandal at the beginning of the year because it leaked that Denmark helped them spy on Germany.
The start of the SF Bay Area shelter in place order was sandwiched right between the sudden loss of my boyfriend (completing suicide), and then two weeks later my best friend (cancer), all in March 2020. As the pandemic resulted in a loss of work at the same time.

It really was a incredibly lonely, isolating experience.

To top it off, many friends left the Bay Area. I fortunately was not grieveing alone as my boyfriend’s cat inherited me, his next human.

The things that people normally get help with, or support- couldn’t be done. I was pretty alone cleaning out my boyfriends’ apartment, didn’t get to have any kind of service for either of them; and I had nothing to occupy my time except “what if” thoughts - but few people willing to discuss with me.

What would be most helpful for the grieving?

- If you can be with that person, be with them.

- Do share stories, photos, memories of the deceased if you knew them.

- Let them manage the conversation.

- If they want to go through the “what if’s” with you, entertain them! This was the most healing interactions I had.

- especially don’t tell a suicide loss survivor anything regarding them being at fault or not. They don’t need to hear it; and indeed they have been thinking about these what if’s constantly when alone. “It’s not your fault” can be interpreted as a sign that your support has boundaries and you don’t wanna discuss. Better to LISTEN to everything they want to discuss. If it was a suicide, gently tell them “I hear you,” and suggest even if they, the bereaved, intervened in the situation that ended their loved one’s life; they may have changed the outcome that day; but every day to the deceased was challenging. It takes professional help to pull someone out of a suicidal mindset; and even then it’s not a guarantee they wouldn’t have been successful eventually.

- Finally, check in with them around the anniversaries of their passing. One month, six months, one year, 18 months. Trust me, they won’t forget the date, they really need extra support then.

- Boys do cry. Anyone who told me that “Boys don’t cry” bull**t, I immediately found untrustworthy to confide in and share my grief with. Even though I had only one person tell me that, it was completely not what I needed. Don’t judge anyone’s reactions to grief. Do let people feel.

- My boyfriend Spencer, age 32, was a loving person who had a wonderful soul. I still like to discuss him to keep his memory alive; I find those who are not afraid to bring him up also, to be my closest friends.

- You/everyone else around the grieving will probably get tired of hearing about the deceased over and over again. There is no timeline or end date to grief. I still feel their loss as heavy today as previously.

I hope this helps.
Article unclear: Thermal coal or coking coal? If this is for all coal, I would expect the price to go up as demand for thermal coal decreases (as coking coal is higher quality and therefore costs more). Although some cursory googling indicates that the prices of both have recently increased.

I guess the question is whether the business they serve is legal. YouTube has some pirated content for sure.

There was this case where Pornhub hosted a lot of rape footage of teenagers[1]. Victims came forward, they testified of their abuse and said that they tried very hard to remove videos involving their sexual assault from the platform. They were however unable to successfully do so because not only were Pornhub careless and unresponsive, the videos would shortly after being removed (if they ever were) resurface on the same platform. A petition was launched and signed by circa 2 million people (including myself). Pornhub was brought to court[2] and found themselves forced to remove any material that they could not verify was consensual. Millions of videos ended up getting purged[3]. Visa refused to handle payments from them as a result of what had happened[4].

What Pornhub and by extension its mother company MindGeek has done is obviously beyond despicable. After myself knowing the context of some of the services that these payment processors have refused to work with (particularly in the “adult” industry), I would never call what they are doing censorship. I’m instead happy that someone with authority is stepping up. Could this authority be abused? Sure. Is the aforementioned an example of abuse of authority? Absolutely not. It’s an example of when people in authority are doing their job. I don’t want to see anyone’s mother, sister or daughter getting raped and have their rape being filmed for the sexual gratification of millions of viewers online. Seeing Visa and others do the right thing in this case is a breath of fresh air.

Yes, a voting system which allows for numerous parties, not just two.

FPTP actively pushes people towards a two-party system, because any other vote lets in the people you dislike most.
Keep in mind that in multiparty systems, their ideals and chosen head of state represent the will of a much smaller percent of the population.

I have no opinion on that as an alternative for two parties systems, just found it interesting and an often neglected part of the conversations.
I use syncthing but not as peer to peer, but as client-server-client.

My phone takes images so large - 108MP - that my normal service (an instance of Up1 pastebin) hangs on complex scenes while encrypting in android Chrome. Installed syncthing on a VM I already had with public facing httpd and I can just hit "share to syncthing". The linking part isn't automated, I type it by hand then copy and paste to recipients.

I looked around for another way to do this, including ssh, and syncthing fit the bill and has been running fine for about 2 years.

I have no idea what it's doing on the backend, though, and now I am wondering if my "node" is passing traffic for people who are not me...

I still prefer my pastebin service, even if it won't accept the largest images from my phone, because you can zoom forever, for some reason, whereas windows viewer, syncthing direct jpeg mime type, etc, will not actually let you zoom 1:1 or beyond on 108 megapixel images. This also ignores the fact that my pastebin only has 200MB of tmpfs storage available, so perhaps 2 crazy images before I have to reboot it... Still worth the zooming, though.
That actually sounds so awesome! We don't have that here quite that much. Maybe in Berlin, but that's not representative of Germany in any way anyhow.
Mostly because what people refer to as "printing money" isn't really printing money, but more of a "reversible exchange of one class of assets for another class of assets of equal value". The central banks are not allowed to just create new money to give everyone working there a huge bonus, it always has to be swapped for a credible promise of future repayment. Banks take it up, since the rates are/were at near 0%, but people/businesses are not confident about their future money flows to take on new loans. Hence the new money just sits at banks and never reaches the real economy.

Helicopter money (1) does cause inflation, but the reason that the inflation has been stubbornly low for a decade is precisely because the central banks are forbidden from doing helicopter money

Large(r) parties generally cannot demonize (all) smaller parties all the time. Once you get to the election, you need somebody to go into a coalition with you so you get over 50% of the votes.

Obviously this applies only if your party has less than 50% of the votes, but in multi-party democracies its more unusual for one party to have 50% (or more) of the votes.

Yes there is, up to this article most people would be fooled to think PIC32 programming was only possible in either C or Assembly, most likely they wouldn't be even aware that MikroElektronika has been selling Basic, Pascal and C compilers targeting the PIC32 for years.

So "...in Rust" makes those people aware that Rust now is also an option, alongside Assembly, Basic, Pascal and C.
It looks like Toebbe had no contact with an informant. He offered information to the French Embassy and the French government turned this over to the FBI. So there will be no entrapment defense.

> unsigned types, no plans to implement in java (though IIRC it was originally planned as part of valhalla)

Not too comfortable to use functions that will compile to efficient byte code exists for them, but with the definitely coming Valhalla, it will be trivial to create a custom primitive class for unsigned ints.

With project Loom, it will avoid the mistake of function coloring that async introduces. In a managed language, why not let the runtime automatically transform blocking calls to non-blocking, when it already knows what’s up?
