"moms and dads using their computers wrong"

What the hell is the "wrong" way to use a computer? Emails, social media and doing your banking?

And why attack "moms and dads"? Speaking as a grandfather, I find it insulting, having used and programmed computers since the 1970s.
But you're not in control of fragment part. Server doesn't receive fragment for request, it's all managed completely by the browser. To handle this you need to do client side redirect with javascript.

Well, it's yet another screenshot-to-code tool. I use it daily. Of course, it sucks with complex designs, but it's still better than starting from scratch. It's a paid tool, but I've tried to be fair with the pricing at $9/month. However, I understand that times are tough. If you really want to keep using the tool and can't afford the $9, I get it. Just sign up and comment with your email, and I'll gift you three months of premium for free.
Why France's startup champion Doctolib has struggled abroad
I question the usage of the word "willingly". People aren't really aware of the consequences of their actions.

The people of Troy didn't "willingly" bring in a huge wooden horse full of enemy soldiers. They "unknowingly" brought in a horse full of enemy soldiers.

Historically I would argue politicians interpreted facts in their favor more than they created their own facts.

Certain demagogues are fond of nonstop lying, but in U.S. politics that hasn’t been the dominant approach until recently. It’s dramatically harder to compromise on governance when Congress stops agreeing on facts, instead of how to interpret facts and what conclusions to draw from them.

I work with Krita and digital tablets and made the switch to Arch-based distros in good part to address the problem of Krita being very much behind in official repositories or using the appimage with the problem he mentions.
With regards to update, this has been surprisingly smooth, the main problem has been with software development tools (the PostgreSQL and Python major updates for example require a few hours every time to fix everything, and occasionally things like Latex also break and require maintenance).

I did not try the switch to Wayland; I've actually tried installing the packages as recommended in the wiki, but despite that launching a session just fails and sends back to sddm, so I haven't tried much more. According to his guide, I won't try before a long time.
The domestic abuse point is a chilling one

An abuser being able to access their partners/kids computers and go and see every thing they have done is terrifying

Can we just not do this at all?
No. The holy grail of computing would be taking an instant snapshot as you do with emulators/vm's from anywhere, allowing you to rollback anytime, restoring the CPU and memory settings in the spot. With incremental snapshots, 'branches' and so on, switching back and forth seamlessly as you would do with save states under an emulator.

And with 'no time', with a delay of less than 5-10 seconds on creating/restoring a snapshot.

Well these are two very different examples. One, ROOT, is a powerful data analysis framework that as powerful as it is failed to be general and easy to use enough to ever get out the HEP world.

The other one, gstreamer, is a beautifully designed platform with an architecture so nice it can be easily abstracted and reused in completely different scenarios, even ones that probably never occurred to the authors.
It would be best to not hotlink the images. Linking back to the source would be great too.

Most don't know what they're agreeing to, because most people don't have the time to be experts in tech despite it affecting every factor of their lives, much in the same way that tech people don't have the time to be be farming and agriculture experts in their free time despite it affecting every factor of their lives.
These de-Googling or un-Googling submissions always seem to follow the same pattern: try to find a "replacement" for every company Google has acquired.

What I never see is someone who proposes "de-Googling" and foregoing a replacement.

Consider the following generic example.

Google acquires some company that intermediates some task that people perform using a computer. Now Google collects data about its users.

A hypothetical computer user makes use of this intermediary "service" as well as others offered by Google. Eventually user decides he wants to stop giving away data to Google.

User then publishes to the web the idea of ceasing to use Google-owned intermediaries by using other, "equivalent" intermediaries for each and _every_ service. Or he tries to replicate role of the intermediary himself through "self-hosting".

But he never considers that in some cases using an intermediary is itself a problem, or may be unnecessary, irrespective of whether it is Google or some other entity. Why does he need to preserve each and _every_ Google acquisition by finding a replacement.

The use of an intermediary allows data collection and in almost all cases that's why someone started a so-called "tech" company. They saw opportunity to profit from being an intermediary (middleman).

The attempt to find a replacement for _every_ Google-owned intermediary seems rather brainless. As if every Google acquisition is something that must exist and must be used.

Certainly there is an arguable privacy benefit from using disparate third parties for different tasks instead of using the same one for every task. However there is also a benefit from not using a third party at all, or even from not performing the task via a server (self-hosting).

Searching for your bank's website rather than bookmarking it, and entering your credentials into the phishing site that's the top result.

Installing Anydesk or something for the "nice gentleman who called me from Microsoft to tell me my warranty had expired and he needed gift cards to pay for it."

Those are the two most obvious ones I can think of. There's a multi-billion dollar "industry" separating especially older people from their money using computers.

Frankly if you've even been around computers for 50+ years and haven't encountered the many and varied ridiculous ways people can use them "wrong," I have to wonder whether you've ever had to deal with regular people using them in the real world at all.

because it's unnecessary to get the same benefit. Being behind a firewall would have the same effect (and any ipv6 deployment will have this), it's just that NAT requires this.

Beyond the technology community I doubt that the loss of personal privacy is being discussed at large. Ad trackers had already made internet privacy a myth for the vast majority of the world; we now are seeing this permeate onto personal devices and subsequently to our environment with these always on, silently tracking devices - in the name of convenience.

Perfect recall, no need for memory, available at your fingertips - with T&C that completely disregards your need for personal privacy.

The challenge though is the "better" alternatives where a mix of privacy and convenience is there is not always convenient. We have and continue to be marketed convenience at the cost of privacy.

What we need is consumer data privacy to really become a societal and government concern and for devices which infringe on this to really go through the same scruity as say a drug going thru FDA approval.
If we allowed all possible TLDs, then we'd need a default organization to administer them. The current setup requires an organization to control each TLD, which allows us to grant control to countries or large organizations. The web should be decentralized, which means TLD ownership should be spread across multiple organizations. More TLDs with more distinct owners is a better situation than one default.
Good question.

I haven't tested that but I think it's possible to modify the fragment with Javascript: https://stackoverflow.com/a/4282075

So my idea would be getting looo.ong to create a special client-side redirection webpage that would remove the fragment part using Javascript before performing the redirection with Javascript. And no. Using HTTP redirection response on server side won't work.

EDIT: I've actually seen URL redirection websites that removes the fragment part so it should be doable. Perhaps the purpose of that is to avoid spam abuse.

In terms of global mean temperatures, which are a measure of how much climate change we are experiencing, the impact of Hunga Tonga is very small, only about 0.015 degrees Celsius. (This was independently confirmed by another study.) This means that the incredibly high temperatures we have measured for about a year now cannot be attributed to the Hunga Tonga eruption.

For those of you planning to read this to find some positive climate news. Don't bother.

I would recommend finding a good (modern/updated) treatment center near you that at least offers LASIK and PRK, then get a consultation. They will perform tests on your eyes and let you know which procedures will work for you. Due to factors like corneal shape and thickness, you might not be eligible for LASIK which at least makes the decision simpler. From what I’ve read, outcomes are very similar between the 3 types of surgeries. I ended up going with LASIK since you can get back to work in a few days instead of a week with PRK.
AFAICT there was a single YouTube video that started this[0] and they mentioned explicitly several times that this mainly works because they put it in "the open internet" as a server. Disabling the firewall was the icing on the cake and yet that is all sites that reported this[1], no mention about how the computer was not behind, well, anything that a desktop in the last couple of decades would be (and most likely beyond that, i remember around 2002 when i had a modem, i had to visit a web page at my ISP to allow me open various ports as many things were disabled by default).

I did my master and PhD around the time numpy/scipy got competitive for a lot of analysis (for me a complete replacement) but the Python binding for root weren't there or in beta. Root-the-data+format remained however the main output of Geant4, so I set up a tiny Python wrapper around a root script that would dump any .root contents and load it up in a numpy file.

My plots looked a lot nicer ;)

It's a well-known fact that a tiny focused group can have a major impact on the society; that's how many initially fringe progressive ideas were implemented, like LGBT rights. The problem of fake news is that some of them turn out to be true, discrediting whoever opposed them, casting doubt on the "arbiters of truth", giving further credibility to supersharers ("what if this person is right when we know official media lied to us in this and that case?"). Now we have even well-respected people that spent their whole life in the power circles like Jeffrey Sachs casting doubt on many official narratives. This further weakens the "truth" signal and increases confusion. I suspect AI is going to make everything worse fairly soon as well.

The docs mentions:

> The control API is the single source of truth about Unit’s configuration. There are no configuration files that can or should be manipulated; this is a deliberate design choice

(https://unit.nginx.org/controlapi/#no-config-files)

So yeah, the way to go is to run something like `curl -X PUT --data-binary @/config.json --unix-socket /var/run/control.unit.sock http://localhost/config/` right after you start your nginx-unit.

The way to manage a separate config step depends on how you manage to run the process nginx-unit (systemd, docker, podman, kubernetes...). Here's an example I found where the command is put in the entrypoint script of the container (see toward the end): https://blog.castopod.org/containerize-your-php-applications...

I understand and don't disagree with this sentiment, but I also think it's worth considering the Internet fame you've developed over the decades. Your blog isn't a diary. A lot of people are reading it and you might take that into consideration. It's going to be shared far and wide whether you intend it or not.

I'm not really a fan of Scott Alexander any more, but something he used to do years back that I liked was putting an "epistemic status" disclaimer at the top of every new post. Some were well-researched, evidence-backed treatises. Some were barely idle shower thoughts. Everyone's musings, whether they write them down or not, probably fall into categories like these. But when you know others are reading it, it can be helpful to make very explicit which is which so readers know what to take seriously and what to consider exploratory and possible but also only preliminary and maybe a deadend or even wrong.
Why is a padlock with the key stuck right into it secure? The encrypted data and the decryption key is on the same physical device.

Sure, memory isolation techniques may serve as a deterrent with extreme care. But if Microsoft increases the attack surface by sloppily integrating that feature everywhere in Windows, the yet-to-be-implemented-if-at-all encryption is going to be ineffective. And that’s going to happen more likely than not.

I'm surprised you, and surely others, arrived at switching editors instead of changing the editor itself. Not in the source or with compilation. The configuration.

The code looks heavily obfuscated. It's more like "source available" than open source. E.g.

Edit: Looking at it a bit more, I can't tell if the code is obfuscated or if the author really wrote it like this...
