For real tho
The real MVPs are websites not needing a cookie banner because they only use required cookies for which you dont need a banner.

Does anyone know why SteamOS is based on arch rather than Debian?

Why would you ever need such a feature? Closed.

Novel attack against virtually all VPN apps neuters their entire purpose
To be fair, any proper VPN setup that only relies on the routing table like this is flawed to begin with.
If the VPN program dies or the network interface disappears, the routes are removed aswell, allowing traffic to leave the machine without the VPN.
So it is already a good practice to block traffic where it shouldnt go (or even better, only allowing it where it should).
Many VPN-Programs by Providers already have settings to enable this to prevent "leaking".

In search for free domain I got one but some questions
Just pay the few dollars per year and have a stable and reputable domain.
Certainly for fediverse i'd want a stable domain, these are usually hard to migrate.

No problems with yubikeys or the receptacle they are plugged into yet.. no idea what you do while these sticks are plugged in.. doesnt seem like a major concern per the reviews

European Union set to revise cookie law, admits cookie banners are annoying
Reply in thread
You dont need a cookie banner if you dont want to invasively track the users.
So its really the fault of the websites for wanting to use categories of cookies which do require a banner (ad and tracking).

STOP DOING ASYNC
Reply in thread
Async is good because threads are expensive, might aswell do something else when you need to wait for something anyways.
But only having async and no other thread when you need some computation is obviously awful.. (or when starting anothe rthread is not easily manageable)
Thats why i like go, you just tell it you want to run something in parallel and he will manage the rest.. computational work, shift current work to new thread.. just waiting for IO, async.

Strong argument, anything else?

I was wrong to ignore Zigbee and Z-Wave. They’re the best part of my smart home.
What i have a problem is the developer accessebility.
I want to build my own sensors into boards and use those, but the devboards are so expensive, its not worth it.
A board with an esp8266 costs just 1-2€, with zigbee its 20-25€.
Might aswell go for the new esp32 versions now and use thread.. and its still cheaper.
(though that wasnt an option a few years back, best option there was esp-mesh which kinda sucked)

Japan crashes SLIM spacecraft upside-down on the moon and calls it a "success"
Reply in thread
afaik it flipped over at landing and the rovers where released about 5m above ground.
Honestly pretty awesome it could automatically compensate against loosing almost 50% of thrust, stay perfectly on trajectory and land successfully.
The Chinese lander, i think last year, didnt have compensation-features built-in and crashed.

If the script gets too large or you think it will, write a full program.
With languages like python or go its not that hard either and you get alot of benifits aswell.
Other than that, use whatever languwge works and you know.

The License is clearly not Free by imposing restrictions to e.g. commercial vs non-commertial usage or distribution. It also restricts usage of name and logo aswell as terminating the license when legal action is taken against the provider.
While i can understand the reasoning, the license still stands against FOSS.
I believe you could have clearly separated them as provider and the software like its done in most cases. By wanting to protect their software, they had to restrict the License, so its no longer Free to use in any form you'd want.

Ah, reddit
Reply in thread
too bad.. inconveniencing other users was also part of the point. Not sure how not doing anything, but not deleting it has more impact.. def. feels like alot less.
Guess you cant use reddit reliably anymore for searching for stuff, too bad. Use a different platform or hope it has the chance to grow and is less shitty.
Sorry you are so inconvenienced for continuing to use reddit, otherwise.. why would you care?

Raspberry Pi Smart TV?
Dont. They are notoriously bad at such things. Lack of Hardware acceleration mainly. These old Chips and problems with single-board-complications are just not worth it at such high prices.
An Intel N100 MiniPC will have much more compute with less complications.

Singapore deletes its COVID-era contact tracing data
Ideally the data would have been useless anyways as it wasnt really necessary for automated contact-tracing to keep it identifiable for government agencies.
