- Comment on Reddit Plans Extra Verification Steps To Detect The Human-Like AI Bots 6 days ago:
I read only one community on old.reddit.com, with VPN on. The moment they start asking for login there will be the moment my last contact with that site goes away.
- Comment on I installed Linux on this 8-inch mini laptop, and it's my new favorite way of computing 1 week ago:
Yeah, lots of young people apparently. After the second 24" screen started dying I’ve ordered a
- Comment on 13 Creepy Things Your Smartphone Knows About You 1 week ago:
GrapheneOS does have modem isolation, and when it tells the modem to be off, then it’s really off.
- Comment on 13 Creepy Things Your Smartphone Knows About You 1 week ago:
Pixels are okay hardware-wise. Lifecycle is not much of a limit, since you’re relying on the upstream for patches anyway.
- Comment on Your Phone Isn’t Eavesdropping on You to Show You Ads (It’s Worse Than That) 2 weeks ago:
I block ads both on DNS blocklists and browser plugin level. Vanadium unfortunately doesn’t have uBlock origin so I’ll have to improvise something when I start using GrapheneOS on mobile – I don’t get out much.
- Comment on Your Phone Isn’t Eavesdropping on You to Show You Ads (It’s Worse Than That) 2 weeks ago:
With open source ROMs like LineageOS and GrapheneOS the admin is you.
- Comment on Your Phone Isn’t Eavesdropping on You to Show You Ads (It’s Worse Than That) 2 weeks ago:
This is why I run GrapheneOS and LineageOS.
- Comment on Your Phone Isn’t Eavesdropping on You to Show You Ads (It’s Worse Than That) 2 weeks ago:
Your phone is showing you ads?
- Comment on An Alarming Number of Gen Z Ai Users Think It's Conscious 3 weeks ago:
Young people are always ignorant, relatively. They haven’t been around long enough to learn much, after all. However, the quality of education has been empirically declining over many decades, and mobile devices are extemely efficient accelerants of brain rot.

CIFS or NFS?
- Comment on China scientists develop flash memory 10,000× faster than current tech 3 weeks ago:
You rely on professional fabrications of misinformation to tell you the truth about who is producing misinformation? Don’t fall for crude propaganda. When empires end they do some self-destructive things. It’s normal.
- Comment on China has world’s first operational thorium nuclear reactor thanks to ‘strategic stamina’ 3 weeks ago:
The new generation of Russian fast neutron reactors use lead and lead-bismuth as coolant, not sodium anymore. They are not proper breeders, as I understood it.
- Comment on China has world’s first operational thorium nuclear reactor thanks to ‘strategic stamina’ 3 weeks ago:
Thorium fuel cycle is useful for weapon production. Germany also abandoned thorium despite no interest in weapon production.
- Comment on China has world’s first operational thorium nuclear reactor thanks to ‘strategic stamina’ 3 weeks ago:
Some of the new Russian reactor types are designed to burn away dangerous hot actinides. MSR need onboard fuel processing to continue to operate anyway.
- Comment on China has world’s first operational thorium nuclear reactor thanks to ‘strategic stamina’ 3 weeks ago:
Too bad we do not know which exactly thorium salt mixes they are using, what the materials facing the molten salt at high neutron fluxes are and how they fare long term, whether they use on-site constant or batched fuel reprocessing, whether they kickstarted the reactor with enrichened uranium or reactor-grade plutonium waste and other such questions.
US experiments were broken off because of materials corrosion problem.
- Comment on finally got static IP from a new ISP 3 weeks ago:
IPv6 is really widespread.
- Comment on Dear Big Tech, Stop Shoving AI Into Operating Systems 4 weeks ago:
Heh.
Another good reason to stick with Debian though.
- Comment on Dear Big Tech, Stop Shoving AI Into Operating Systems 4 weeks ago:
Linux kernel? Where?
Assuming you mean distro, where is it in Debian?
If I want AI I can always install llama or similar locally.

It’s just the first page of the printout, and a 94 MB PDF.
- Comment on China plans world’s first fusion-fission power plant 5 weeks ago:
No, we do this in a fusion weapon. Half of its energy output is from fast neutron fission of the uranium tamper.
- Comment on China plans world’s first fusion-fission power plant 5 weeks ago:
Yes, the uranium tamper in a fusion weapon. Half of the energy in a fusion weapon comes from fast neutron fission, mostly in U-238. It’s not a chain reaction.
- Comment on OpenWrt Two will be a higher-performance router with 10 Gigabit LAN and WiFi 7 support - Liliputing 1 month ago:
Router-on-a-stick would work, but I’d like a 10G SFTP for that.
- Comment on Dad demands OpenAI delete ChatGPT’s false claim that he murdered his kids 1 month ago:
Confabulation is a more appropriate term.
- Comment on Global VR headset shipments fell 12% YoY in 2024, with Meta's market share rising to 84%; Vision Pro shipments fell 43% QoQ in Q4, but its enterprise sales grew. 1 month ago:
And it’s all proprietary walled garden. I have no interest in VR if it’s not free/libre.
- Comment on Reddit will warn users who repeatedly upvote banned content 2 months ago:
Yes, Lemmyverse will fragment, so it’s important to choose sufficiently permissive instances or even run your own.

A friend of mine has just broken the record of 100 days living under water. He is aiming for 120 days.
- Comment on German Power Slips Below Zero as Negative-Price Phenomenon Grows 4 months ago:
Only if Germany changes existing legislation on power taxation. And do check out for how much a TWh of grid scale storage goes for. Hydrogen is the only borderline cost effective solution at the scale required.

Commenting as a reminder to revisit.
