We need PC revolution for biology. Put a box on every table we can tinker with.
EU will put strong statement out soon.
I am pretty sure US gov doesn't have my id.

This happened to my mom too. She told me she can't do any more photos because her storage is full. So I checked her android phone a and somehow the cloud backup got activated (we explicitly turned that off!!) and our family photos were uploaded to google cloud..

I hate google so much for doing this.

On 22.04 apt update && upgrade doesn't help.. yet?
Re:Call to Action: Fediverse Media Server on Sunday May 26, 2024 @06:51AM (#40481166)
I am in your comments telling you that federated server is still just someone else's computer.

But there are systems where user is sovereign, defined by their key, not dependent on any masters. One such system is Nostr:

Pantheon is amazing. Especially the ending.
Haha this is neat. If you zoom out and rotate the scene, you can position the ISS to watch it transit in front of the Moon.
Wow.

The video and map position appears to be a bit out of sync.

Was watching flyby over USA and when the map position exited land and went over ocean, it took about a minute for the video to transition from land to ocean.

Probably bc the nasa feed has delay?

FOSS everything or go home. I am not buying into closed VR ecosystem. Not Apple, not Meta, not anything else that is trying to lock me in.

Well of course it does.

I wanted to say that I use similar project called HashIDs, but I see that HashIDs rebranded to Sqids :)

This is the answer.
If I can't self host it and own the data, I am not interested.

Why doesn't Nintento release their games to other platforms? I would love to play Zelda, but I am not going to buy a console just because of one game..
How does patroni can do some self healing after primary db gets down and then up again? Or is manual intervention required? How does it look?

Will third parties be able to create custom keyboards that plug in? I mean something like 36-keebs, e.g. Corne and similar keyboards?

Re:Top Bitcoin dev gets owned on Sunday January 01, 2023 @04:24PM (#34211097)
I have my doubts that he would keep much in hot wallet. That would be.. weird. But I might be wrong of course, let's wait for some confirmation.

It looks like it is just twitter hack. The wording in those tweets doesn't fit Luke's writing style.

This is his mastodon, let's see if he posts anything there:

This is what keeps me on Windows. If there would be Linux RDP client with these capabilities I would switch to Fedora or something. But remote desktop performance on Windows with RDP vs. anything on Linux is not even comparable.

Re:The dark side of Shopify on Sunday July 10, 2022 @06:53PM (#32050007)
All the solutions I mentioned do exists and are used daily by thousands. And no, atms are indeed not the place to exchange bitcoin for stablecoins.
Re:The dark side of Shopify on Sunday July 10, 2022 @03:33PM (#32048115)
There are some ways how you can solve this. You can convert to and from stablecoins. You can use hedging and use cfd or futures to keep your bitcoin on stable fiat value. Depending on what you need, this can be done on exchange, with some payment gateway or even trustlessly via smart contracts.
Re:The dark side of Shopify on Sunday July 10, 2022 @03:30PM (#32048086)
I agree that this is still a challenge that needs to be solved in better ways. There are some solutions possible. For example OpenBazaar used 2-of-3 multisig escrow. Bisq is using security deposits, limits and reputation. For some large transactions there are legal escrow services. But for small regular transactions with most merchants, there is no good standardized solution so far. You just have to do your research about about the counterparty and trust the merchant as far as transaction goes.
