While definitely better than the non-encryption of CTCSS etc, P25 encryption has some relatively concerning implementation problems. It's possible none of these actually matter for your usecase as many are related to UX around configuring and using encryption in an institutional setting, but the unauthenticated traffic injection, induced transmission and jamming issues are, well, not great no matter how you look at it.

I will grant that the open-source kfdtool keyloader boxes are neat.

I have been meaning to see if I can repro the induced transmission via retransmission requests thing when the data packet stuff is fully disabled via CPS, but a friend permanently borrowed my hackrf so that project is on hold for now. I'm not optimistic, though, due to the comments in the paper about where in the stack the retransmission request is processed.
That’s kind of an overstatement. Building a PC is a <1 day affair even for a novice.

Were you around during the first 17 years of personal computers?

A computer from 1986 would be useless in 1996. A computer from 1996 would be useless in 2006.

Computers were getting so much faster so fast back then, that obsolescence was really a big deal.

There is physically no hardware support for 32 bit software on modern iPhones. Do you suggest that Apple still supports 32 bit iPhones and 64 bit iPhones?

Would third party developers want to support phones back to the iPhone 6 that is 6x slower and has 1/8 the RAM of a modern iPhone?

Should Apple support phones like the 3GS that doesn’t support LTE and has 256KB of RAM?
I'm the author of AutoDock Vina (the most cited docking program, and the "runner-up" in the AlphaFold 3 paper)

Docking software is used to scan millions and billions of drug-like molecules looking for new potential binders. So it needs to be able to generalize, rather than just memorize.

But the evaluation approach used here and in the original paper (1) does not test how well the software will perform on novel molecules, because the test set is related to the training set.

If you understand the basics of ML and physics, you may be interested in my detailed critique here: https://olegtrott.substack.com/p/are-alphafolds-new-results-...

I'm glad that Chai-1 has been released though, as this will probably help people evaluate the method better.

(1) It looks like they are a bit different, as this paper allows 40% sequence identity. It's still high. I believe that sequences with 40% identity tend to have the same shapes, especially in the binding site, where it matters.

Use an agnostic payment vault like spreedly or hyperswitch and send transactions to whichever gateway you’d like. Every processor wants vendor lock-in, terrible for a business. I’m not sure there’s a great option for small ecom businesses with no dev team, though.
It operates legally because there isn't a law against it in the jurisdiction in which it operates.

What part are you surprised isn't forbidden? The part where it accepts connections anonymously? The part where data is encrypted in transit?

Exit node operators, like telecoms can be required to tell law enforcement everything they know about a user. The difference is they don't know anything of value.

For a SaaS product? Maybe - but even that's debatable. I imagine snapshots/backups stored off-site/in other regions are more than fine for the majority of SaaS businesses - certainly almost all businesses under a certain size. Sure you risk some minor data loss in a true disaster (like, meteor hits a datacenter disaster), but generally I think your odds are pretty good.

But that's just a subset of what databases are useful for. So much production data lives on-device with no replication or redundancy at all. It's still production-grade data.

Those are really good radios for the money, have fun. I have nicer radios but still use my UVK5 just because it's easy to use and works well. Plus all the firmware mods are fun to play with.

FYI if you're not aware... not to be the no fun police, but you do need a license to transmit with one. And it's technically not legal to use them on FRS/GMRS/MURS frequencies even with a license, though that's probably the least enforced rule on the FCC books. Assuming you're in the US at least.
Always use the full hash everywhere.

Never store the short hash anywhere. It's good only for immediate commandline use, and nothing else.
But to outsiders, having the US say how bad and evil Russia is for illegally invading Ukraine sounds ridiculous when the US illegally invaded Iraq only 20 years ago with equally absurd justification.

You know, you can also just completely ignore whatever "the US says" about the topic (or supposedly says based on whatever news feeds seem to be bubbling up for you in the last 10 minutes). Both its narratives and its moral posturing. In fact, you basically go on with most of your life if the big bad ole' USA never existed at all. Even if you happen to be stuck living there for some dumb reason.

And instead just do your own research -- ideally grounded in lots and lots of solid history, but also along other axes, such as talking to people actually from either of these other much more fascinating places, and even (if it seems safe for you to do so) visiting them yourself. And then come to your own views about how bad and evil Russia (or whichever putatively evil thing) is or is not, on its own merits (or lack thereof). Completely without reference to whatever "the US" supposedly has to say about anything.

In general this whole emphasis on "hypocrisy" is really not useful in terms of making useful judgements about what actually happened in the world, or why. On the whole it seems to serve no other purpose than to cloud people's minds, promote anxiety ... and get them to start ruminating, fulminating and devoting way too much energy on the topic of whether a certain person (or an entire country, allegedly) is "hypocritical" about a certain putatively evil thing on the world -- rather than the actual facts and etiology of the actual putatively evil thing in itself.
It's literally in the 2nd paragraph of the wikipedia article. It's not a controversial statement. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Government_spending

>Spending by a government that issues its own currency is nominally self-financing. *However, under a full employment assumption, to acquire resources produced by its population without potential inflationary pressures, removal of purchasing power must occur via government borrowing, taxes, custom duties, the sale or lease of natural resources, and various fees like national park entry fees or licensing fees. When these sovereign governments choose to temporarily remove spent money by issuing securities in its place, they pay interest on the money borrowed.* Changes in government spending are a major component of fiscal policy used to stabilize the macroeconomic business cycle.
Who specifically is pushing for the whitewashing of most looney tunes episodes? Can you provide any evidence on that claim or sources?

There really are just 11 specific episodes that are very obviously and nefariously racist.

And to be clear, the US government isn’t censoring them. You are allowed to go watch them if you can find them. 3 are in the public domain. It’s just that the company that owns the rights to them (United Artists) isn’t interested in airing them or selling them.

If you wrote a book or a song and decided later that you didn’t want to sell it or perform it anymore, that’s just you exercising your personal copyright and property rights, not 1984-style government censorship. That is actually the opposite of state control.
I believe that the only sustainable model for software that benefits the humanity has to have a profit motive. Even a delayed one, as in the case of the universities and government grants.

Oh, don’t get me wrong, I am definitely not defending the police in this situation. I was just pointing out that they did in fact get court orders after they couldn’t find the owners.

Whether they tried hard enough to find the owner, or whether the court should issue a warrant allowing a vehicle to be towed, is another thing altogether. Personally, I’d be super upset.

> "source IP address" is useless as evidence of a crime, because, as this server and many, many other proxy services demonstrate, the IP listed as the origin is in no way guaranteed (or even likely) to be the actual origin of the traffic.

It doesn't have to be the actual origin for it to be useful—unless the software is specifically designed to avoid traces (i.e., Tor), there are often logs that will lead you to another IP address, which might lead you to another, which might eventually lead you to the source. It would be foolhardy for police investigating a bomb threat to not at least ask, given how many people they do in fact catch this way.

> It's like raiding the home of the mail carrier because someone got drugs in the mail.

No, in the case of OP it's like subpoenaing the local post office and asking for everything they know about where that package came from. Which is, incidentally, quite common, except that in the US the post office is a government entity that doesn't need to be subpoenaed because it has its own law enforcement agency that should have jurisdiction over the case.

I’ve been using this for a couple years now, and absolutely love it. Thanks, team!

I also love that it’s owned by the University of Aarhus, as I am more willing to trust academia with something that has a disturbing level of (client-side) access to my browsing data.

I really wish the browser vendors would develop better permission models to guarantee my data can’t be exfiltrated by a malicious plugin (aka a once-good plugin that got bought out by a bad actor).

For example, I’d love to see the browser impose a policy of “no outbound network requests except to pre-registered endpoints with pre-defined headers and data payloads”, so that plugins could fetch allow lists but could not exhilarate my browsing history.

Nice work on your open-source project! I have seen serval effective ways to monetize via open-source project:

Community funding is a great starting point. Set up a GitHub Sponsors account or use platforms like Open Collective or Ko-fi. Many developers are happy to support projects they find useful. You can check the open source repo with Sponsors enabled.

I have seen a monetization case from a popular Chrome extension - I cant remember the extact name. While free for users, it displays sponsor logos in its GitHub repo and within the extension itself.

Finally, take inspiration from Tailwind CSS, which is a famous open source project. They offer Tailwind UI, a paid, advanced component library built on their free core framework.

From my personal experience, monetizing a SaaS project isn't easy, but it's certainly possible. However, establishing a steady income stream is a different case altogether.

Good luck! Look forward to hearing more your experiences from this!
Not saying this was his intent, but this is part of Modern Monetary Theory (MMT) which says governments print money to provide services, and collect taxes as a matter of policy to legitimatize the currency, and for inflation and unemployment controls.
Ignorance of the law is not generally accepted as a legal defense, but ignorance of facts is. Most crimes involve a mental state of knowledge or intent with respect to the wrongdoing, and an exit node operator does not know what users are accessing.

Taking the wrong jacket by mistake is not theft, and operating the exit node through which someone downloads CSAM is not criminal possession of CSAM or knowing facilitation thereof.
For one time payments, like in e-commerce, it's relatively trivial for even a small business to implement.

Stringly typed errors are also idiomatic in go, if you follow the stdlib.

Like, are you doing anything with TLS? String matching: https://github.com/golang/go/issues/35234

Using the stdlib ssh stuff? String matching: https://github.com/golang/go/issues/45207 / https://github.com/golang/go/issues/39259

Want to parse an address + port? netip.ParseAddrPort only returns strings ('errors.New' errors).

http/http2 is also a minefield of half-exported errors.

The go authors say to use 'errors.Is' and 'errors.As', but the go stdlib also defines an idiom, and the idiom it defines is that somewhere around 30% of all errors should be stringly typed, including many where you may want to have specific handling for them.

> which to be honest is the _correct_ logic in many cases

It is almost never the correct logic. The only time it might be appropriate is in a private helper function that has limited scope around another function.

It is most definitely not the correct logic if you are returning that from a public function! For many reasons, but especially because it now binds you to the implementation of the function you called forevermore. That is a horrible place to be.

For example, find out your os.File usage would be better served by SQLite? Too bad. You can't change it now because the users of your function have come to rely on errors from the os file operations when they handle the error you give them. Their code can't deal with the errors coming out of SQLite.

Instead, you need to return errors that are relevant to your function. It may be appropriate to wrap the source error in some circumstances, but your error structures should compel the user to rely on your errors, leaving the wrapped error only for things like logging where a change in the future won't break the callers.

I found the UVMOD website that lets you make a patched Firmware to enable all sorts of hacks.

Since I don't have a license yet, the next time I'm playing with it, I am going to enable the TX block on all bands, so as to prevent any accidents.

Of course, much to the FCC's annoyance, in the "dangerous mods" list, you can also choose to disable the TX block on all bands. You really shouldn't do that, though. The folks that run this project are trying to do the right thing and warn anyone that goes down that path ...

There was a time in Powershell’s life when stdout redirection to a file (>) would write UTF-16, then that changed to UTF-8 with BOM and now it’s UTF-8 no BOM. During those times some PS versions would allow to change this globally, some would not. Even if you could change it globally, the names for the same encodings have changed.

PowerShell 5.1 “UTF8” actually meant “UTF-8 with BOM”

PowerShell 7 “UTF8” meant no BOM.

If you read a file in PowerShell that does not have a BOM it decodes it as ANSI. Yes, ANSI, not Ascii. Which is a hilarious choice because you can’t even write an ANSI file in PowerShell. The closest encoding you can use is “Default” which will use the system default but your systems default might not be ANSI.

PowerShell is a hot mess. Go read the official docs for character encoding[1] if you don’t believe me.

I have CI scripts that have to use .NET calls[2] in PowerShell to write ssh keys to disk because it’s impossible to write utf-8 no BOM (or ascii) with out carriage returns (\r) being inserted before every new line (\n) even when the incoming string didn’t have them.

File encoding is just ONE of the reasons I hate PowerShell and why it’s so obviously clear people who were not qualified to design a shell, designed a shell.

SpaceX works on the leading edge of today's aerospace capabilities, and it's reasonable to expect new problems during their work. So it could justifiably be terra incognita to regulating agencies, including environment protection organizations.

Yet it's unprofessional if they are showing up and demand delays at the last moment. It's the work of government agencies to watch companies like SpaceX closely and coordinate with them way ahead of large events.

Nobody's winning when the environment is ignored, or when the aspiring company has to stop and switch to something else while waiting for permissions for important actions in development. So far USA administrations demonstrated reasonable balance, hope they'll manage to improve the current situation.

To be honest I'm fortunate enough to where maintenance work by sticking to "the latest and greatest" for application-level stuff is not hard. For system-level stuff in general it's been about relying on Debian or Ubuntu stuff, but then application-level management for the top layer ("the application", so to speak). I've only rarely been in situations where Debian packaging outright meant we couldn't move forward on something (one funny and annoying one was gettext being too old, but gettext is so coupled with libc for some reason that we couldn't just compile a fresh version...)
