Pure speculation:
I think it’s just not that popular. Does it do something more than rclone or simple rsync? If not, then its main selling point would be GUI. But then, I think, either one can use the remote location via their file manager (like thunar with MEGA for example) or there is not that much difference between opening another app and using web. And if the selling point would be pausing and resuming download, torrents are probably more verstile
It is available in AUR, though, so maybe it’s only me that haven’t heard about it earlier

Also, it’s a java application. There is not much to package or depend on, I guess

It’s cool but my question is (I did not see this addressed in the article nor video but might have missed it) did it learn to win the game in general terms or only this one example? I mean, if the layout of the board was changed, would it still solve it?

…

3 minutes ;P

“And now, Einstein will explain WiFi for you”

Oh gods, now I’m starting to count how much time will pass until I see an ad like that…

Running out of gambles, eh?

The Beginner’s Guide

Definitely a gem. So meta

Antichamber is hidden gem or simply forgotten? I don’t know how much attention it got in its time.
It’s a puzzle platformer but I was feeling my brain bend the whole game. And at the same time I never felt like the new mechanic was explained too little or something was artificially dragged out. Very good design.

IMO it was better than Portals

If I’m not mixing something up, they also created Overgrowth (third-person action platformer with rabbits beating up wolfs). And in order to distribute it without messing with third party services, they’ve created Humble Bundle. They sold it to some company later but for a long time it was them putting together the bundles.

It’s a little off-topic, I know

I’d expect “thinking about left” and “seeing someone go left” to be two different “waves”

I’m not big on gambling. But I feel I could bet that their software/firmware is so bad that someone could still hack the network via the bricked printer

Search is working fast, which is nice. Unfortunately it seems to focus on articles in my language without possibility to switch to English, so 1. someone might argue this narrows down who is using it, and 2. sometimes I need to search for an article in other language.
Also, from issues on github it seems that it can be a little buggy atm

At the same time, on wikipedia, ublock sees only wikipedia and wikimedia domains. And the page even doesn’t need to ask about cookies. I don’t think wiki has a problem with privacy, per se. Of course in countries with stupid governments this might be a good idea

This page is credible?

Tinkering is all fun and games, until it’s 4 am, your vision is blurry, and thinking straight becomes a non-option, or perhaps you just get overly confident, type something and press enter before considering the consequences of the command you’re about to execute… And then all you have is a kernel panic and one thought bouncing in your head: “damn, what did I expect to happen?”.

Nah, that’s when the fun really starts! ;)

The package refused to either work or install complaining that the version of glibc was incorrect… So, I installed glibc from Debian’s repos.

:D That one is a classic. Most distributions don’t include packagers from other distros because 99% of the time it’s a bad idea. But with Arch you can do whatever you want, of course

My two things:

• I’ve heard about some new coreutils (rm, cp, cat… this time the name really fits the contents :D) and I decided to test it out. Of course it was conflicting with my current coreutils package and I couldn’t just replace it because deleting the old package would break requirements. So without thinking I forced the package manager to delete it “I’ll install a new one in just a second”. Turns out it’s hard to install a package without cp, etc :D
• I don’t remember what I was doing but I overwrote the first bytes of hdd. Meaning my partition table disappeared. Nothing could be mounted, no partitions found. Seemingly a brick.
  Turns out, if you run a rescue iso, ask it to try and recognize partitions and recreate the table without formatting, Linux will come back to life as if nothing happened

1. Download the code
2. open Controllers/CorsairPeripheralController/CorsairPeripheralControllerDetect.cpp and change
   line 80: 0x1B7C -> 0x1B7D
3. compile
4. make install

The difference between private and public companies is the single biggest threat to us all

Nah. One does not build a company to provide a service but to earn money. “Well-being of the company” only matters if you are sure you can sell it for more if you grow it more

That person has time-travelled in the future. How’s your handwriting? ;)

Ah, so survival base building is a good lead. I’m not into this genre but I’ve heard about these (in order as they came to my mind):

• Foundry
• Dyson Sphere Program
• Green Hell
• Valheim
• Subnautica

And I was commenting on the article. Which only has two lists and at the bottom

By enabling all of these settings, you are significantly reducing the amount of tracking and data collection these devices perform, but keep in mind that you are not completely eliminating it.

And I’m criticizing that

I can’t find better source ATM but basically its encryption is not good enough anymore

I think this article is so-so. For example

• Display: Screen timeout: Shortest duration you are comfortable with
• Wallpaper & style: Set your lock screen to something generic and non-personal (no family photos, etc)
  (…)
• Security & Privacy: Device Unlock: Screen lock: Strong password preferred, followed by PIN, then Pattern.
• Security & Privacy: Device Unlock: Screen lock settings: Enhanced PIN privacy: Enabled
• Security & Privacy: Device Unlock: Screen lock settings: Lock after screen timeout: Shortest duration you are comfortable with

These don’t affect “the amount of tracking and data collection these devices perform”. Might be good ideas in themselves, but bundling these with options that really diminish the amount of data broadcasted, washes the picture out IMO
