- Comment on Cucumbers taste like the white part of watermelons 6 days ago:
Then the OP makes sense. Because the white part of a watermelon tastes nothing like cucumber.

It does spell trouble, but you might be able to ask your ISP to give you a public IP in that case.
- Comment on Is there a way to get a massive dump of memory stuff off my laptop by uploading it to a torrent? If so how and can I make it private just for my access? 1 week ago:
You are not uploading, others are downloading. The direction of traffic is the same, but the incentive is different.
Before torrents, there were services where you just announced “there are all my files just download what you want” and some places had quotas on how much you should make available for download. People were sharing all kinds of random trash and also downloading that trash.
A joke was – was it on like bash.org? – that you have some file you want to backup, you have to make people want to download it, so you just call it leaked_celebz_nudez.zip or something and it would be downloaded forever, even if it did not work because so much trash was shared and if could help your quota.
So you’d have to use the strategy in that joke. Make a torrent of your stuff, just encrypted so it is trash for anyone who wants to download it, but you’d have to make the torrent content so imcredibly desireble that even if the comments and ratinfs of the torrents goes to shit, people will still be downloading it in the hope it works. What would be that desireable though, I do not know.

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 3 weeks 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.

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?

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.

- Comment on What should I bring to far-north Scandinavia? 5 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 5 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.

Isn’t there hormonal treatments that puts you in menopause, and then there is a menoresume if you end the treatment?
- Comment on Sudo 6 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.

- Comment on Most file types are just a renamed .zip 6 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 6 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 6 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 6 months ago:
I don’t get it… I must be missing something about zipped files.
