  • Get Ditto (clipboard manager that can sync between machines) and your life will never be the same. I've been using it since about 2006.

  • I dunno, the Mustang seems to be missing. Or does it always make trouble on it's own?

  • What kind of hosting service will allow this?

    Jump

  • It's already all virtualized, so from customer perspective, advantages of virtualization aren't there (single box, maximizing use of local resources, etc).

    Wouldn't you be able to do containers in a Linux VPS though? To the host, it's just a virtualized Linux, from Linux' perspective, those containers are local resources.

  • Windows isn't an OS? What kind of nonsense is this?

    I'd say the team from DEC who created it, would differ.

  • Wouldn't you validate that update on a test machine in an isolated environment....like we've done since forever?

  • Oh, yea, I get the safety angle, but that work has already been done.

    If I'm replacing a battery in something like thsas long as I use the same tech, where's the concern?

    If the factory battery has built-in BMS, then I should use the same, that's about the only concern I'd have. And if it's NiMH, well, even less of a concern.

    And for this use-case, I wouldn't be cheap on my replacements, like I am for stuff that's low risk (like a flashlight that lives in a metal cabinet outside - if that lithium does a runaway, there's little risk).

  • Wow.

    Again, the kind of fix I've done thousands of times on all sorts of devices.

  • Ye, I've been to Twin Peaks. At least the food is typical American stuff, made well.

    I'm just not into the whole theme. I'd rather pay less for the same thing at a decent diner.

  • The food sucks?

  • Discord alternatives?

  • Which is exactly what I said. You get the interface you choose.

  • More like jingoistic, which is rather tiresome anymore. "Nazi" today is a virtually meaningless pejorative, and my dead grandparents are rolling in their graves having escaped real Nazis.

  • Russians are now Nazis?

    Someone needs to read more history, and out down the Book of Pejoratives

  • XMPP/Jabber has whatever interface you choose (determined by the client you use), and does voice pretty darn well.

    I'm currently using Jmp.chat as a SIM/data provider, and they provide an XMPP account via Snikket. I can connect to that account with pretty much any XMPP/Jabber client.

    To me, XMPP/Jabber is the most flexible, because it's a protocol, and you choose which parts you want. And you can choose which clients you use. I have 2 clients on my phone and one on my laptop. They all work fine with the same account, with messages showing up at all simultaneously. One client (Snikket) has multiple accounts in it. The thing is XMPP/Jabber as a protocol is like SMTP - it's a standard, so all clients can communicate with each other, if they support the same features (eg OMEMO encryption, which is popular now).

    Alternatively check out:

    Teleguard, it's from the folks at SwissCows. They claim E2E, and from the way you connect devices, and that you can't recover an account from them, I tend to believe it. Though I haven't seen a third party evaluation (I belive they're closed source, unfortunately). So do with that what you will.

    Simplex Chat, self hostable, they claim it's very secure. I've used it some, the phone app is a bit heavy on ram use.

    There are numerous others out there.

  • For sure.

    Stuff can be kept secret, it's just difficult, and is usually accomplished via all sorts of obfuscation.

    Like doing something layered deep within something else, making it appear to be a day-to-event (hiding materiel in containers labeled as something else, making it weigh and move normally, then having military deliver it as usual, because who would think these drums of fuel are actually heavy water, or something like that).

    The moon landings were live. Quite a bit harder, I'd think.

  • And the old saying "three people can keep a secret, if 2 are dead" comes to mind. The number of people who would know, just in astronauts, tells me someone would've squealed.

    There was a movie in the 1980's that used this premise, but the astronauts weren't supposed to know (I think), or were only told pretty late. Capricorn One (with OJ Simpson if memory serves). Not a great movie, hell, not even good, just an interesting concept.

  • Wasn't 2001 also made at that time? As I recall, that was incredibly realistic (mostly), far more so than a cheap TV show

    (Not saying that 2001 is proof, just that ToS isn't a great comparison)

    Here is one. Why do people find it more acceptable to act like they do online but not in person. Is it truly because you’re not face to face or is it really because at your core that’s the real you.

    Hahaha, I'll take that, thank you... What a great retort!
