  • No not yet... What I'm doing is closer to academia rather than practical, but I do want to do practical. I'm thinking of going for Android system security, and I feel that I need to find what I will specialise in first.

  • Live off of finding CVEs. I'm currently messing with Android's TEE, hoping that hasn't been picked clean.

  • Try Soulseek, it has just about everything.

  • Do you have Bluehost web hosting plan? In that case, Bluehost would do the most heavy lifting regarding the derliverability. Email deliverability with big hosts like that shouldn't be a problem.

  • Owning a domain for yourself and having a provider send/receive email on your behalf is a common choice, and it has its own benefits such as being able to migrate to other providers easily. As long as you renew your domain properly, it should be fine. Though do note that only you would use that domain, so anyone would know it was you who sent that email.

    Owning a domain for yourself AND handling email sending/receiving can be challenging because there's a chance your email gets filtered as spam, and the receiver doesn't get what you sent. It's also possible that your server goes down, and the email sent to you doesn't arrive properly, though the email server usually try to send again a number of times before giving up.

    If you are confident about setting a server, I can personally recommend Mailcow. As long as you set up SPF, DKIM, DMARC, it should pass most spam filter including Gmail. If you don't want to deal with the potential headache, getting a provider to send/receive emails for you is a good choice too.

  • The users and mods would decide that. Sure, mods can abuse it, but they already have the means to censor someone (ban users, tag their post as NSFW, delete their posts). I don't expect it to be perfect, but it still would be an improvement, especially in communities that you would usually expect to be light-hearted, such as showerthoughts or mildlyinfuriating.

  • I don't see how it can be abused in a way it harms users though. Overusing it just means their post won't be visible to many people, so abusing it just harms themselves. It would be abuse it they didn't tag it, but that still would be an improvement compared to the current situation, and we could enforce a rule to ensure things that are political without a doubt gets tagged. (Eg: Mentioning politicians, ideas, etc)

  • I dump my encrypted data to someone who probably practices 3-2-1 rule (which is Backblaze for me). I mean, these guys back up data for a living.

  • .ch

    • Renewal is cheap, even if the domain is short
    • No particular requirements for registering
    • Automatic WHOIS lookup is disabled
    • Easy domain hacks
    • Decent reputation, ranks low in mail spam rate
  • Same here. I spent last month transitioning all my servers to NixOS and it feels so comfy! I do a small test on my desktop when I do something that might break stuff first, and then add it to server's config later.

    --target-host and --use-remote-sudo makes it even better too.

  • If you're considering (something) + Syncthing, try Orgmode. It looks like Markdown but has a lot of features for note management and navigation.

  • Did mandatory service, and no, it shouldn't be a thing. It's not that you would be fighting in the frontline that it sucks (it is a possibility, but doubt it would happen any time soon), it's that you can't do much during that period that makes it annoying, and you're paid below min wage for it. It also imposes restrictions on you before you complete your service in case you try to avoid it. You also do it during the 20s, and that's just a waste of time.

  • Man, if only I can benefit from this... I never got my hibernation/suspend to work so that the computer doesn't force shut down itself immediately after waking up.

  • Not sure about other bugs but definitely for network-related bugs. Knowing how to tell if it's happening on my side or not is also a plus.

  • Go to your nearest bank to collect it! 😇

  • That song came out in 1980s?? I always thought it came out at around early 2000s because of those memes.

  • How does this protect the blockchain from someone just uploading hashes of AI generated video though?

  • Thank you!

  • Can you do something with syncserver-rs alone? Even after I log in with Mozilla account and setting sync server URL to point to mine, nothing appears in the database.

  • Nah, I meant how it ends in dit.ch and it got ditched soon.
