Awesome. Thanks. What is dawn/usteer?

Can you do “roaming” / “fast-transition” solutions with the openwrt one and/or two? (What is called “mesh” by e.g. tplink)
- Comment on Inside arXiv—the Most Transformative Platform in All of Science 1 week ago:
SciHub great, it really is something else though. ArXiv does cover a bit more than just math and physics, there is some biology, compsci, finance, and economy. But yeah, would be lovely for it to branch out. But that is probably also related to how the fields functions. If the fields do not have an open preprint process, I can imagine quite a bit have to change first.
It is a preprint site, because that is what the researchers need. It’s a great tool to “publish” inofficial books and lecture notes in addition to actual articles for journals. For the public, I see no issue. You can see it right there on the arxiv if the article is published in a journal or not (unless the authors are sloppy), and, you can go back to earlier revisions, to get a more detailed view of what the referees and editors did not allow to be published (implied by the changes made).

Does your organization encourage free speech and encourage open debate and free sharing of information? [yes/no]1. If yes, please describe.
“If you are not encuraging free speech, thats ok, but if you do, please elaborate”

Did they drop “analogue” or “simulated” from the title?

- Comment on Setting Up a Self-Hosted GitHub runner for CI/CD 1 month ago:
There is no auth needed for gh runners? Like a secret shared between them and the repo? I would guess repo secrets are not shared when forked… right?
- Comment on My chemistry professor after explaining that helium is colorless, odorless, non-toxic, and inert [Day 67] 1 month ago:
That is a bit of cheating, speaking as a phycisist. We say “if we add enough energy to system X thing Y will happen” about almost everything. :-)
- Comment on 'No control': Sweden grapples with bomb violence wave 2 months ago:
I also think a part of it was that grenades were not classified as the same thing as a firearm. So there were circumstanses where it was forbidden to have a gun, but a grenade was fine. That kept them in circulation.

Oh yeah, that reminds me I wanted to replay that game.
- Comment on Apple Removes Ability to Run Unsigned Apps in macOS 15.1 4 months ago:
EU seems to be like “you ASKED edge to be the default browser? This is unimaginable anti-competative behaviour!” towards windows, and then all like “you do you, apple, we good”.
- Comment on What should I bring to far-north Scandinavia? 4 months ago:
Scrolling through I don’t see this tip I was made aware of when going up north: shower in the evening. I’m not sure it makes any significant difference, but the logic seems sound; while sleeing you build up a protective layer of fat on the surface of your skin, face especially. It helps against the cold, so don’t rinse it off in the morning.
- Comment on critical latex mod 4 months ago:
What are the options here? Can I have them be only visible when printing? Does it mirror itself if I print double-sided? Maybe pdf does not support these things, but to me these are the important questions.
- Comment on Menopause should be called menostop cause there is no menoresume? 5 months ago:
Isn’t there hormonal treatments that puts you in menopause, and then there is a menoresume if you end the treatment?
- Comment on Sudo 5 months ago:
For sudo there is a compile option which taunts you if you enter the wrong password. At least in gentoo that flag is called ‘offensive’. I just imagined another feature to the flag where a guard will show up as well.

When you compile sudo with the offensive flag.

Ah, right, that is how windows works.

- Comment on Most file types are just a renamed .zip 5 months ago:
I got that from the other answers. I was just very confused why I’d have to rename them to “.zip”.
I still don’t get why it is “most” files.
- Comment on Most file types are just a renamed .zip 5 months ago:
OK, thanks for all the answers. I get it, a “docx” is a zip archive expected to contain something specific making it a docx. But why “most” though?
- Comment on Most file types are just a renamed .zip 5 months ago:
OP refers to the fact that you can rename some filetypes to .zip and unpack them.
So… you mean the zip program just rename them back? Why?
- Comment on Most file types are just a renamed .zip 5 months ago:
I don’t get it… I must be missing something about zipped files.
