Have you ever seen how long it takes for a tree to grow?

With RISC-V being as slow as it is, where is the use beyond proof of concept?

You can actually buy those cookies in normal supermarkets.

Move away from port 22, and 90% vanishes. Move it up to a port in the five digit range, and you will rarely see them.

WTF are you hallucinating about?

Not everywhere is America. In civilized countries, people have civilized police.

Start handing out blue bracelets.

Or ask him into his face if his colleagues will beat him up, too, if he loses his bracelet.

You have to admit that 99% don’t know and don’t care about such things. They care about meeting friends and people with the same interests (and echo chambers). Caring about being decentralized are rather academic issues to them

I only remember Digg as a place people came from to find refuge at Reddit, about a decade ago when I joined.

If they consider to exhume Digg, things must have become a real mess on Reddit. While I still have my reddit account, I only attend as small, non-public subreddit, which has survived fine so far, except for some people leaving because they left Reddit altogether - or got banned for nothings.

I’m not talking about America. I live in a country where I don’t have to decide what is worse - the cops or the terrorists. Seeing uniformed policemen patrolling the fair had been a very calming effect, actually. It was just funny how easy it was to spot the non-uniformed ones.

Reminds me of the big fun fair last year. There have been some incidents in the last years where idiots (either islamic terrorists of white people with mental issues, your choice) have driven cars into groups of people, so there was a rather immense police presence on that fair. As they had promised on the radio they had both uniformed and civilian officers patrolling. I have no idea why they bother with civilian clothes, as the groups of non-uniformed policemen really stuck out like sore thumbs in the flow of happy, carelessly celebrating people. They could have worn helmets with flashing lights and not be any more noticable.

With tools it is often the thing with “newer, easier” and “old reliable” versions. If you want to write and print a text, Word might be easier, but TeX is still more predictable and reliable. And with software like the literally CORE utils, I actually prefer predictable and reliable over fancy eye candy. I could easily see to have them both installed, so everything that worked before still works without the risk of breaking at some odd point, but might use the Rust version like “Rcp -g” if applicable.

I am not convinced that the new tools will be better than the originals. The coreutils have been optimized and vetted for over 30 years (most of the tools predate the existence of “coreutils”). Numerous groups have tested them, hit them with crazy attacks, and hardened them against those.

That’s the reason not to enter the US.

No, use a burner phone. Don’t install any apps, and only have the most important numbers in there, if at all. Use a new mail account with it.

Those Dell fans were never built to be quiet. And they are also not built to be replaced by any quiet fans.

While yes, there is a reason why I have retired the Dell server I had for a normal desktop PC. The server was so loud, I could hear it two stairs and two closed doors away.

My largest file transfer I have done via USB disk. You simply don’t transfer multiple terabytes over the net.

But also, the man that was with me was an African American male. He was wearing a Trump hat.

That person should be kicked out of the bar just for being terminally stupid.
