@foone my feed is all full of the attempted assassination of Donald Trump and then you're here wondering how to learn rust
-
@foone Foone Turing is your actual name?
-
@foone you could have a windows license *key*
-
@foone @jwz @cstross I don't know if this is sarcastic or serious

@me Fediverse shouldn't have to be exclusive with algorithmic feeds - it should just mean you control the algorithm. The non-existence of algorithmic feeds is a real pain point of the Fediverse, especially if you are using a small or single-user instance, which otherwise has nothing to populate it except for the people you follow. At the very least it would be useful to follow the public feeds of certain other instances.

@dascandy42 @foone @whitequark AFAIK rainbow tables can be stored on hard disks. The better question: What kind of ancient design is still vulnerable to rainbow tables?
-
@foone so a normal file transfer but you can only do it once. GPG followed by netcat?
-
@foone indeed. What is the use?
-
@mntmn should we all be concerned that your company is at a location literally called Error Street?
-
@mntmn @cas so I just looked at the MNT Reform for the first time and this caught my eye:
> This is the fully open hardware system-on-module featuring the NXP Layerscape LS1028A processor and 16GB of DDR4 RAM. It can be used in the MNT Reform open hardware laptop or in any other custom device.
You got NXP to open up a processor?

@aral @laukanhenkka @toolbear @davidrevoy in both cases the bad guy has less money and a better guy has more.
However, getting paid usually comes with some strings attached, and that's where the problem is.
Still, if Hitler would give me a billion dollars in exchange for writing "Jews must die" in giant letters on my fence, I think that would be a good tradeoff. That's basically what Mozilla has to do for Google: metaphorically write "Use Google to search" on the front of its building. Hitler being poorer does much more good for the world than a sign does bad. I might be obligated to donate the whole billion to an anti-Nazi charity.
-
@aral @laukanhenkka @toolbear @davidrevoy do you want Hitler to lose a billion dollars or not? I assume that you have no qualms about someone breaking into Hitler's vault, or hacking his bank account, and taking a billion dollars.
-
@aral @laukanhenkka @toolbear @davidrevoy If Adolf Hitler offers you a billion dollars, do you take it?
Of course you do. Because then Adolf Hitler is a billion dollars poorer, and that's good for everyone.

@aral @davidrevoy Mozilla doesn't need to survive for Firefox to survive and be useful. There are already many forks of Firefox by people who think Mozilla already shouldn't have survived.
-
@mntmn Just be aware this is a one-way connection - you can plug a computer into the server to diagnose the server - you can't plug the server into something else to diagnose something else. The first thing is more convenient, but the second thing is impossible.
-
@mntmn @jacqueline you lose out on performance because if you have a wifi chip designed for Arduino, you get Arduino level speeds, maybe several megabits at best, because what would an Arduino possibly do with anything faster
-
@mntmn @jacqueline the other thing to do is look for chips that already have Linux drivers
-
@mntmn @jacqueline someone has to do it regardless, if you want a Linux phone. However, remember you don't have to use undocumented chips. You can actually put one of those chips designed for Arduino use in your phone, if it meets the requirements. You'll probably lose out on flexibility and performance, but you can have full documentation of the interface because it's designed for amateurs to interface with.
-
@mntmn @jacqueline so... You'd make sure your phone had a phone chip separate from the CPU? Every phone does, even commercial ones. They even have fast-path connections that bypass the CPU. E.g. audio output from the phone chip goes to audio input on the Bluetooth chip, so the CPU can sleep while you're on a Bluetooth call.
-
@mntmn @jacqueline it seems pine64 made their pinephone by just squishing their SBC (pine a64) into a different form factor. But they only make the hardware; the software is not their problem
