  The whole idea is that the quantum particle can’t have had the state you’re measuring all along. If it did, then measuring a particular set of outcomes would be improbable. If you run an experiment millions of times, you have a choice in how you do the final measurement each time. What you find with quantum particles is that the measurements of the two different particles are more correlated than they should be able to if they had determined an answer (state) in advance.

  You can resolve this 3 ways:

  1: you got extremely unlucky with your choice of measurement in each experiment lining up with the hidden/fixed state of each particle in such a way as to screw with your results. If you do the experiment millions of times, the probability of this happening randomly can be made arbitrarily small. So then, the universe must be colluding to give you a non uniform distribution of hidden states that perfectly mess with your currently chosen experiment

  2: the particles transfer information to each other faster than the speed of light

  3: there is no hidden state that the particle has that determines how it will be measured in any particular experiment

  See quantamagazine.org/how-bells-theorem-proved-spook… for a short explanation of what ‘more correlated than expected’ means

  A problem with this is that the river presumably goes all the way around the earth. Otherwise you could just travel west until you found its end. You really need a donut shaped earth, a sphere doesn’t help much

  I still don’t think this is correct for two reasons. 1: I believe the DMCA and friends count as copyright law. 2: just reading the text of the law (#17 U.S. Code § 106):

  Subject to sections 107 through 122, the owner of copyright under this title has the exclusive rights to do and to authorize any of the following:

  (1) to reproduce the copyrighted work in copies or phonorecords;

  (2) to prepare derivative works based upon the copyrighted work;

  (3) to distribute copies or phonorecords of the copyrighted work to the public by sale or other transfer of ownership, or by rental, lease, or lending;

  (4) in the case of literary, musical, dramatic, and choreographic works, pantomimes, and motion pictures and other audiovisual works, to perform the copyrighted work publicly;

  (5) in the case of literary, musical, dramatic, and choreographic works, pantomimes, and pictorial, graphic, or sculptural works, including the individual images of a motion picture or other audiovisual work, to display the copyrighted work publicly; and

  (6) in the case of sound recordings, to perform the copyrighted work publicly by means of

  It seems pretty clear that only the copyright owner has the rights to make copies, subject to a number of exemption.

  Now IANAL so I could be missing something pretty huge, but my understanding was that this right to make copies (especially physical ones for physical media) is at the core of copyright law. Not just the distribution of those copies (which is captured by right 3)

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Mastodon updates terms of service to ban AI model training on user data⁩ ⁨⁨8⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I don’t think this is true. While copying might fall under fair use if used for some purpose, you definitely can get in trouble for copying even without distributing those copies.

  In that case it’s highly unlikely your problem is with DNS. And much more likely it’s a problem with the actual connection to the server. If you are willing to share the IP/domain I can help troubleshoot (either here or in a DM).

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Can't get DNS to work on web server⁩ ⁨⁨8⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  If you do a DNS lookup (through nslookup or many other tools) on the client you’re using to connect, does it get the right IP back?

  Sorry I completely misread your comment to be saying that the maximum efficiency was 50% not that it occurred at 50%.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨First server: Buying hardware in a developing country⁩ ⁨⁨8⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I believe for the highest efficiency you only want to use about half of the rated power of the PSU. So if your system draws 350W, 700 is a very reasonable power supply

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨9⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  By default, an enencrypted boot drive is not sufficient to be able to decrypt a LUKs drive. If you have to type in your password to start the computer/unlock LUKs then you should be good.

  If you’ve setup a keyfile or TPM based decryption of LUKS, then your data is probably not safe (though a TPM based decryption could be if the OS is secure and secure boot is setup properly)

  In this case, if you have another server then you could setup a mutual tang/clevis system where each device gets the keys it needs from the other server on the LAN. Both would be LUKs encrypted. So if one is online the other gets the required key from the online one while booting. But if both are offline then no keys are available and you have to type in a LUKS password to boot. Something like ogselfhosting.com/…/tang-clevis-for-a-luks-encryp… but what they do with multiple servers is probably overkill

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Chaining routers and GUA IPv6 addresses⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah openwrt should be great. It uses nftables as a firewall on a Linux distribution. You can configure it through a pretty nice ui, but you also have ssh access to configure everything directly if you want.

  The challenge is going to be what the ISP router supports. If it supports bridge mode then things are easy. You just put your router downstream of it and pretend like it’s a modem. Then you configure openwrt like it’s the only router in the network.

  If you don’t have bridge mode then things are harder. There’s some helpful information here forum.openwrt.org/t/…/19 even though the situation is slightly different since they also don’t want a firewall. But you probably need to configure your upstream side on the openwrt router similarly.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Chaining routers and GUA IPv6 addresses⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  I’d recommend something that you can put openwrt or opnsense/pfsense on. I think the tplink archers support openwrt at least.

  The ISP router opening things at a port level instead of a host level is kinda insane. Do they only support port forwarding? Or when you open a port range can you actually send packets from the WAN to any LAN address at that port.

  Can you just buy your own modem, and then also use your own router? (If the reason you need the ISP router is that it also acts as a modem).

  Does the ISP router also provide your WiFi? If it does you should definitely go with a second router/access point and then disable the one on the ISP router.
