SHNORLE developer working to reimplemented SHH in the Zorp programming language

Idk of any but I’m interested, commenting to add traffic 👍

Firstly, it depends on how illegal it is. Is it illegal like you shouldn’t do it and we will try to block you? Or is it illegal like if we catch you do it, you can get arrested or worse?

Scenario A:

• just try shit out, try different VPNs. Some of them provide certain obfuscation. You can see if they work. If they don’t work, you’ve got some more dedicated VPNs such as Tor with all kinds of Tor bridges (obfs4, snowflake, etc) Or psiphon

Scenario B:

• The risk is real and you might consider not doing it at all, but if you do, obfs4 is the only thing I can recommend, Psiphon is easily detectable (it’s just good at bypassing blocks)

The Rust hype is funny because it is completely based on the fact that a leading cause of security vulnerabilities for all of these mature and secure projects is memory bugs, which is very true, but it completely fails to see that this is the leading cause because these are really mature projects that have highly skilled developers fixing so much shit.

So you get these new Rust projects that are sometimes made by people that don’t have the same experience as these C/C++ devs, and they are so confident in the memory safety that they forget about the much simpler security issues.

This is just the ADHD maneuver in picture form.

Simple answer is no but…

Stock android, like all commercial OS is inherently spyware. Google does have access to it and in theory could do anything, but that is only “in theory” because as far as we know stock android does not come with keyloggers and data exfiltration tools, it spies on you in the way of “telemetry” meaning that Google decided that certain data is useful and so they “anonymize” it and collect it, this data can be: wifi networks, location, phone usage, and more.

So in theory it is possible that stock android either already has spyware to collect personal app data that no one ever noticed (very unlikely) or that google will push an update with such software (somewhat unlikely)

Now if you use other Google apps, especially gboard and google assistant, you are definitely sharing SOME amount of peesonal text with google.

The reality is that you should consider your threat model, which means to consider what kind of risk you are willing to take and what kind you are willing to make a change to avoid. It is perfectly reasonable to say that you are not willing to use gboard or google assistant, but you are willing to use the stock android, understanding that you are sharing some data with Google, but most likely no app data (such as your texts in Signal)

Same thing about choosing a messenger. WhatsApp is made and managed by Meta, a company that lives off of user data. So even though WhatsApp claims (and seems to really be) end to end encrypted, you can still be sure that Meta is collecting everything they can, which probably means: who you are texting, how much, at what time, how much you use the app, location, and much more. Signal is open source and managed by a non-profit that does have a good track record, and because ut is open source you can also choose a different client (like Molly) which further reduces the Signal Foundation’s hold on your chats (if you fear that) So you could say that because all of your friends use WhatsApp you are willing to accept that Meta will collect a bunch of data on you, or you could decide that you are not okay with that data collection and therefore choose Signal. It is up to you. In any case, E2EE is a must as it protects you from unauthorized access from hackers.

Doubt that it would be Meshtastic, it is inherently not built for internet levels of bandwidth. But I can see a future where you have intranets that are free and community driven with something like Meshtastic with higher bandwidth and you still pay for an ISP that can give you access to the full internet (because nothing currently can replace underwater optic fiber)

Shower faster? How long are you in the shower to have time to develop good ideas and have time to forget them?

Buying new: Basically all of the integrated memory units like macs and amd’s new AI chips, after that any modern (last 5 years) gpu while focusing only on vram (currently nvidia is more properly supported in SOME tools)

Buying second hand: not likely to find any of the integrated memory stuff, so any GPU from the last decade that is still officially supported and focusing on vram.

8gb is enough to run basic small models, 20+ for pretty capable 20-30b models, 50+ for the 70b ones and 100-200+ for full sized models.

These are rough estimates, do your own research as well.

For the most part with LLMs for a single user you really only care about VRAM and storage speed(ssd) Any GPU will perform faster than you can read for anything that fully fits on it’s VRAM, so the GPU only matters if you intend on running large models at extreme speeds (for automation tasks, etc) And the storage is a bottleneck at model load, so depending on your needs it might not be that big of an issue for you, but for example with a 30gb model you can expect to wait 2-10 minutes for it to load into the vram from an HDD, about 1 minute with a sata SSD, and about 4-30 seconds with an NVMe.

Who is designing drugs for cancer? What about drugs for the patients?

You can sniff the network and see if the TV is connecting anywhere.

It’s very very unlikely that your TV and your device connected to it both support and enable ethernet over HDMI by default. But if you are unsure you can test it by connecting and seeing if the TV is getting a connection.

Personally I also opened my TV and disconnected the wifi card since in theory the TV could also just try to connect to any open wifi in the area without me knowing, but to each their own threat model.

There are a few places in the world where it is cheap and good, just not a lot of them.

Science and Logic day! 23rd of January. Or 12th of March

Celebrations include home science projects, appreciation of scientists and professors, local interactive educational scientific events, etc

The affects would be appreciation of truth and logic which would fight the misinformation issues that we currently have, and it will also serve to educate people and inspire them to seek further education and understanding.

Adoptability

Basically become one of those cats that walk into a house and no one makes them leave

Anything exposed to the internet gets a daily / weekly update, depending on how exposed it is, how stable the updates are and how critical a breach would be. For example nginx would be a daily update.

Anything behind a vpn gets a more random update schedule mostly based on when I feel like it (probably around once a month or every other month)

Tip, look at second hand sites/fb marketplace (i know 😒) you can find great deals.

Delusional, they only think you are sexy.

Attaching things, hanging things, making custom items such as a keyring, lifting or carrying things, dog leash if you find a stray, and more.

Rope.

Buy some rope, like 3 different sizes: 1-2mm, 4-6mm and 10-12mm. Watch a few rope videos and then throw the ropes in some drawer. Every now and again you will have an issue that the ropes can fix.

As a kid I once got a 15mm*40m rope for my birthday from my uncle, I thought it was the weirdest thing, but over the years I used it so much that these days I consider it to be one of the best gifts I’ve ever received. And as long as you don’t need them for anything related to safety, they basically cant expire.
