- Comment on autofocus glasses 1 day ago:
You can do that with this novel technology called “a second pair of glasses for reading”.
It works, I can confirm it.
- Comment on Brazing Copper Plumbing Pipe? 1 day ago:
When the hammer is your only tool, then the rest of the world consists only of nails :)
- Comment on What would it take to make Gemini suitable to be president of the world? 1 day ago:
A different world.
- Comment on [deleted] 1 day ago:
Have a look under these two black paperlike sheets right in the middle, where the RAM probably sits. Maybe there’s room for more.
- Comment on autofocus glasses 1 day ago:
I want glasses with the ability to clean themselves.
- Comment on What did Musk and Trump fall out over? 1 day ago:
Other than them both being dickheads
Why do you think they need more than that?
- Comment on Brazing Copper Plumbing Pipe? 2 days ago:
I don’t do it myself, but I have heard everywhere that compression fittings are used for copper pipes nowadays.
When they made some new pipes in my house recently, they used pipes of plastic coated aluminum, very modern, lightweight and they were superfast with handling them.

I get that they’re Muslim, but come on, we live in the West and it’s a free country.
Unfortunately, that isn’t up to you to decide for them.
Be careful, try to respect a (probably) different culture. You will not be able to change them.
Try to find out what is possible to do and tell, and what is good to do and tell. It’s going to take some time (we cannot know how long).
If you behave respectful now, it will earn you their respect and this makes both of you a happier life.

No. There is nobody. Case closed.
- Comment on public services of an entire german state switches from Microsoft to open source (Libreoffice, Linux, Nextcloud, Thunderbird) 6 days ago:
was shut down when the right wing came into power.
…and when M$ moved their headquarters into the city of Munich, making some nice impact on the city treasury.
- Comment on Would having two hearts be better or worse for the human body? 6 days ago:
The proverbial “two hearts in one chest” indicate a split mind, and create much pain.
It won’t do no good. The two would work against each other.
Not only in the holistic meaning, also from a strictly materialistical / technical point of view, there is no way to make them work synchronized. It is the very nature of the heart to determine it’s own rhythm.
- Comment on New fuel cell could enable electric aviation 6 days ago:
the fuel is liquid sodium metal, an inexpensive and widely available commodity.
How very stupid we all have been during the last 200 years! /s
We don’t use this “inexpensive and widely available” fuel for making a campfire, or heating a house, or driving a car.
Producing enough sodium metal to enable widespread, full-scale global implementation of this technology should be practical, since the material has been produced at large scale before.
What a bullshit again.
Let us get smarter by looking at the whole cycle of energy:
Sodium metal is used as a carrier of energy in this idea. First we would need to invest energy to create the “fuel”, and later we can use the energy from it.
Now the problem gets obvious: It is not an even balance.
"There’s this natural cascade of reactions that happens when you start with sodium metal,” Chiang says. “It’s all spontaneous. We don’t have to do anything to make it happen
These reactions can only be so spontaneus because there is still a whole lot of energy stored in the sodium hydroxide etc. And this energy was needed in the beginning, on the way from sodium chloride to sodium metal, but later it can not be used completely for that airplane. A good part of it is wasted afterwards.
IMHO This “gap” in the cycle makes the whole idea much less useful than this guy is telling us.
- Comment on I have an acquaintance that have their own "password system" that involves having a "core" set of characters, plus a few unique characters for each site; Is that system safe? 6 days ago:
Know your enemy:
- Dictionary attacks
- Leaked passwords
- Password guessing attacks
Your “system” is good against 1. but vulnerable against 2., and a bit vulnerable against 3. because of the system.

The older you get, the less an age difference is really an issue.
Have you ever heard a 95 yo talking about 80 year olds? ;-)

LOL
- Comment on Ansible sounds interesting 1 week ago:
Besides ansible, also have a look at “templates” and “cloud-init” for VM generation.
- Comment on A fake Facebook event disguised as a math problem has been one of its top posts for 6 months 1 week ago:
Entertainment.
The only thing that will remain on yt anyway after AI has taken over the content generation and we can trust no “creator” anymore.
- Comment on How do I rent a botnet? 1 week ago:
I don’t think you can rent botnets with some ready to use software to simulate web scraping or generate fake comments
Just look how half of the “reviews” on Amazon are fake already.
Oh yes, someone has paid for them, and there’s a well established industry at work.
- Comment on [deleted] 1 week ago:
It is not only computers that have openings.
- Comment on [deleted] 1 week ago:
Buy some very fine wire mesh and cover the openings with it. Like, 2mm squares or so.
For example www.aliexpress.com/item/1005005572754739.html
(I don’t really have that problem. But if I had it, I would)
- Comment on Submitting an App for iOS approval 1 week ago:
They are not testing for usefulness.
Only what their app store rules say (and sometimes only part of it - once your app is established well with them)

Or pay a fine of half a billion or so, but only 15 years later

Nextcloud…
- Comment on Gemini will now automatically summarize your long emails unless you opt out 1 week ago:
They are asking for legal trouble anyway, at least in Europe
- Comment on How do I rent a botnet? 1 week ago:
I don’t believe this is illegal as I’m targeting myself for education.
Difficult to know, and ofc depends a lot where you are. Better ask a lawyer.

Did you see the Documentation section in the README.md?
Yes, that’s why I’m asking.

How to use this thing?
- Comment on [deleted] 1 week ago:
different devices, some running locked Windows
That unforgettable moment, when you stand before that machine where you should be able to self-manage that value-card for some prepaid money for some special purpose, and that machine shows you nothing but a good old bluescreen, and it is a bluescreen from a 15 year old Windows…
