I had (actually, still have) a regular casio digital camera of this vintage. I thought the photos looked fine on the small blurry CRTs at the time - or the tiny screen on the camera itself, but look much worse on modern screens. The giant pixels need some type of blurring to make the photos look like photos.

Is this automated? Does doing this manually do anything for Debian other than create a headache and a mountain of work?

If it were up to me, I’d consider carving off part of the Debian package namespace - like cargo—* for cargo packages, and just auto-create them (recursively) based on the package name in cargo. There are a few things to figure out - like security, and manually patched packages, and integrating with cargo itself. But it seems like it should be possible to make something like this work with minimal human intervention.
dns should not have to be secure, it should be regulated as a public utility with 3rd-party quality control and all the whistles.

only then can it be trustworthy, fast and free/accessible

EDIT: This is not what the group has done upon further scrutiny of the article. It's just their very first sentence makes it sound like they were intentionally introducing vulnerabilities in existing codebases to achieve a result.

I definitely can see that it should have been worded a bit better to make the reader aware that they had not contributed bad code but were finding existing vulnerabilities in software which is much better than where I went initially.
> the IRA used to send bombs through the mail. Yet we are not debating shutting down the Royal Mail because of that (and rightly so).

As I said elsewhere, at least in the US there's an entire law enforcement agency whose sole job is tracking down people who use the postal service to commit crimes and hurt other people. I'm sure there's an equivalent process in the UK. Tor is specifically designed to make that impossible.

There's really no comparison.

> There are governments out there who kill people who criticise them, usually journalists. We need those people to continue their work. We do not want a world in which all communication is government-approved.

I agree, and it may well be that on the balance we come to the conclusion that Tor is worth it. All I'm asking is that we stop looking at the harms as an abstraction and the benefits as concrete.

OP facilitated a bomb threat but seems to have thought primarily about how unfair it was that law enforcement subpoenaed them rather than the complexity of the moral choice they made and its consequences.
>Here you have tons of USA citizens living in EU

And yet, the only country in the world with more Americans living in it than the other way around is Australia.[1] Revealed preferences expose the truth that no number of videos with cherry-picked participants do not.

[1] That's on an absolute basis. Since the US has 20 times as many people as Australia, the odds an Australian will move to the US is still far higher than the odds an American will move to Australia.

Where is the documentation for running a private instance?

[The main use case for this software]
If you look at say 3G -> 4G -> 5G or Wifi, you see industry bodies of manufacturers, network providers, and middle vendors who both standardize and coordinate deployment schedules; at least at the high level of multi-year timelines. This is also backed by national and international RF spectrum regulators who want to ensure that there is the most efficient use of their scarce airwaves. Industry players who lag too much tend to lose business quite quickly.

Then if you look at the internet, there is a very uncoordinated collection of manufacturers, network providers, and standardization is driven in a more open manner that is good for transparency but is also prone to complexifying log-jams and hecklers vetos. Where we see success, like the promotion of TLS improvements, it's largely because a small number of knowledgable players - browsers in the case of TLS - agree to enforce improvements on the entire eco-system. That in turn is driven by simple self-interest. Google, Apple, and Microsoft all have strong incentives to ensure that TLS remains secure; their ads and services revenue depend upon it.

But technologies like DNSSEC, IPv6, QUIC all face a much harder road. To be effective they need a long chain of players to support the feature, and many of those players have active disincentives. If a home users internet seems to work just fine, why be the manufacturer that is first to support say DNSSEC validation and deal with all of the increased support cases when it breaks, or device returns when consumers perceive that it broke something? (and it will).

Contact a recruiter and ask, maybe you could even get an apprenticeship / on the job training. I always thought the book "Code" by Charles Petzold was gold for new people to the industry.
Every child is different. Some kids you just need to let them burn themselves through a phase while supporting it was positive stuff elsewhere.

I have one kid who will demand the giant tray of cupcakes from Sam’s Club then proceed to eat half of a cupcake twice and never think about them again (in this case, we actually did buy the giant tray for a BBQ and had left overs). We simply continue to offer her other, healthy food while she goes through a phase on something.

The other kid remembers where everything is, despite being very young. She will scream about certain foods she wants (too young to talk) and work us to specific cabinets and drawers where that food was. We have to be a lot more mindful of what food we expose her to and be prepared to nudge her towards better options. Push her too hard and she simply gets stuck on that one specific food item she wants.

While you’re right that kids won’t literally starve themselves, food can be a battle point in a day filled with other things. Sometimes you just have to read the kid and bend so you don’t ruin other priorities.

M3U8: Adaptive Streaming Format
The article provides an in-depth explanation of the M3U8 playlist format used in HTTP Live Streaming (HLS). It covers how M3U8 works by segmenting video content for adaptive streaming, which improves playback by adjusting to varying network conditions. The article also highlights the advantages of using M3U8, such as reduced buffering and enhanced user experience, and discusses best practices for implementing M3U8 in video streaming applications.

I think your post feels overly cynical. It doesn't seem to really address any of the points in the article, and it doesn't really give any examples to support your argument against it.

> A lot of the "old" stuff is there if you go look for it, just like in the 90s you had to go look for it too because Google didn't exist yet and altavista was shit. You don't have to read Reddit or Facebook or whatever in the same way you do not need to go and watch the latest shitty Marvel movie just because they released it. Be selective in your consumption.

Isn't this the point the original article is trying to make? All the good old simple stuff is still there (neocities) but now it's relatively undiscoverable to the average internet user, because big money interests exploit fundamental weaknesses in human nature for attention.

> Be selective in your consumption.

I feel like you're not really considering the nature of addiction.

I agree with you these posts are getting a bit tiresome too. But I'd much rather they get more tiresome, and maybe lead to change vs letting the problems they're highlighting get worse.

I was there in the 90's too, let's not pull up the ladder behind us.
Manufactures don't do that often. They might have a couple different battery lines, but everytime there is a new standard buyers have opportunity to check out the competition. I standardized on Dewalt 20/60 volt tools, I don't even look at other brands anymore as then I need to invest in batteries when I already have plenty of batteries so Dewalt is almost always cheaper because I'm buying a tool without a battery,

Sometimes a 12volt tool looks good (lighter), but so far I don't have any. If I ever do I'll be comparing all the brands (and their catalog) to see which I think is best, already having Dewalt 20 volt tools gives them no advantage (My dewalt radio can take 12 or 20 volt batteries, but that isn't enough of an advantage)
OP here. It's not an ad at all. There is a lot of stuff there, not just the Rack. I even wrote about Wi-Fi optimization, the tools I used, how much I paid (I mean if it was sponsored, why would I pay for it).
A DC-DC converter always uses a variable duty cycle to maintain the target output voltage (or for CC, current). Without it, the voltage would vary wildly depending on load.

For something like an audio amplifier, obtaining precise power supply load would in turn give you a curve over amplifier load, which effectively gives you the speaker amplitude. Input caps and filtering will likely remove the high frequency components entirely, but you might be able to construct at least part of the played waveform.

I have wondered how true this is:

1) Covid caused a huge reduction in business.

2) Businesses charged more per person to sustain themselves.

3) Post-Covid people are buying less due to the higher prices so its sticky.

My local Qdoba is so expensive I won't eat there any more, but a few people do. What would happen if they dropped prices significantly and advertised that to bring people back? I don't know... There are only so many person-meals in a day, so people are eating somewhere, are they staying home? Are grocery sales up?

Article mentions google has monopoly trifecta but doesn't clarify what that it is exactly.

From the body I assumed it refers to the monopolies of: Operating System, Browser, and Search Engine.

I don't see ads as being a monopoly, that's just the monetization system, of the core products. It's like saying they have a monopoly on money?
I hear you. And I mostly agree. I’ve refused a couple genuine sounding offers lately to take over maintaining a couple packages I haven’t had time to update.

But also, we really need our software supply chains to be resilient. That means building a better cultural immune system toward malicious contributors than “please don’t”. Because the bad guys won’t respect our stern, disapproving looks.

> I always thought the big elephant in the room for public vs private sector, especially the case for IT sector was the compensation leading to not being able to attract the best talent.

Is the best talent only attracted by money in the US? Are none of these people OK with taking a X% paycut (just an example) in order to work on things that have higher impact?

Do the government even want people who work there to be working there only because it pays more? Is it possible that because the government pays less than the private sector, it ends up employing people who are more aligned, compared to if they just chunked more money at people?

As an example, if one superstar programmer went to NSA instead of the private sector because NSA paid the most out of the offers they got, doesn't that mean it'll be trivial to pull this person away from the NSA in the future, just by offering more cash? Wouldn't it kind of make sense for the NSA to want people to join them because of the mission/purpose/something else, so they can retain people based on those things rather than just money?

Edit: Changed 10% to X% as apparently that's the only thing people could focus on, instead of the more meaningful questions in my comment.

Likewise IANAL and this jives with my understanding: legal tender simply means that it cannot be refused in payment of a debt, e.g., to pay for fuel already pumped, a meal already eaten, a service already rendered.

However, there is no obligation to take when paying ahead of time, e.g., when ordering at a takeout counter, or otherwise as part of the offer and acceptance process, which is how all over the counter retail sales are characterized for legal purposes.

The only restrictions are on denominations, e.g., a business is not obligated to accept more than X coins of type T, etc.

Yes, political and legal risks. There's no guarantee your cloud won't terminate your account for any of a thousand reasons in the future.

I'm "All Linux, all the time" at home, develop in it, help out with the Kernel a little bit, only use Windows at home in a VM, etc.

When I'd discovered I couldn't use Linux as my daily driver due to security/policy(/tooling) reasons, one of my co-workers told me about Git Bash, and it's worked out so well that ... <looks left, looks right> ... when we were given the opportunity to use Linux but VM Windows, I kept the Windows machine.

GitBash has made Windows painless for my work's use-case. I should probably throw a few $$ at them ....

Theoretically you can order from it and you order is ready when you arrive. The last time I tried this, I had my passenger try and place our order. At the end of the process the app let us know we can't order online from that store.

At least in the instance I've used, my pictures end up published with a link to my personal OSM account, and with the full dump of Exif data coming from my camera (including bits that are irrelevant for this kind of picture). This has privacy implications. Caveat emptor.
I think you misinterpreted the sentence. They don't need to change the WHOIS client, it's already broken, exploitable, and surviving because the servers are nice to it. They needed to become the authoritative server (according to the client). They can do that with off-the-shelf code (or netcat) and don't need to mess with any supply chains.

This is the problem with allowing a critical domain to expire and fall into evil hands when software you don't control would need to be updated to not use it.

This is quite similar to what I'm currently learning in my training/coaching on how to deal with my AD(H)D.

ADHD is for a large part an inability to consciously direct attention to where it "should" go. Both hyperfocus and distraction (aka impulsiveness) are two sides of that same coin.

My training is a lot about becoming aware of when this attention switching happens¹.

And then about choosing to act on it and direct it. Which is often not the hard problem with ADHD. It's more the "going on sidequests without knowing you go on them".

So my therapist also teaches me to allow "good" sidequests. E.g. cleaning the bathroom (when I should be making breakfast) is fine: as long as my agenda allows it, I then have a clean bathroom.
And to be aware that some sidequests are luring exactly because they stimulate me more. So to seek that stimulation in other tasks as well.

Some hacks I use to become aware are "leechblock (firefox)" and "digital wellbeing (android)". Just timers and blockers that show me "you went on a sidequest again..."

If the law doesn't understand what TOR is they're also likely to grab a warrant for the sole owners house too for a computer crimes case under the theory they're also using their home computer in some way for the crime.
I agree with your first paragraph, not your second. A major downside to govt. tech is their overly conservative approach to adopting new technology, and generally low standard to overall speed of execution and productivity. You'll probably be safe if you stay in the same agency or related cluster, but I have found that people trying to break into the private sector or jump to a different jurisdiction with a totally different tech stack were either woefully under developed in terms of their skill set outside of the 20 year old proprietary stuff they were used to using, or were 0.1x developers compared to their private sector colleagues.

When you're young, you have the time and energy to toil hard for long hours and learn lots of new things. I would not waste that resource on a government job unless I were ready to make a career long commitment to it.
I predict strong growth for them
You're right. They should have just done it and told no one.

We need to focus on the important things: not telling anyone, and not trying to break anything. It's important to just not have any knowledge on this stuff at all
