  • I'm not sure I fully understand this.... Like apart from the punter who shot the cop, the others are getting an average of 50 years each for vandalism. Is that correct?

    My mind genuinely cannot comprehend that. Like you don't get that for murder in most places.

  • certainly not the hassles with configuring interrupts on expansion boards, getting CD-ROMs working on "older" PCs, juggling conflicting DOS config.sys and autoexec.bat configs

    Jeez I really forgot about all that shite. ISA cards sound cards being a total whinge. Doing clean installs every once in a while because your bloated registry meant your computer had gone to shit. Burned CD's with your favourite apps on them so you didn't have to download them again on dial up.

  • Even if you manage to keep your VPS clean as a whistle of offending logs, your VPS host can log all incoming IP addresses.

    I think this is a great idea but very difficult to safely implement.

  • In five years once this RAM nonsense is over you'll be able to run a comparatively high quality local LLM for very little money. I can't see how these companies will ever make their money back.

  • Wow. I never heard about that one. I do recall some distributed community attempt at breaking (I think) 64 bit DES around that time. It used spare CPU cycles and I had it running on my Pentium 2 machine.

    Was DES still widely used at that point do you recall? I had AES in my head for SSL and the like.

  • Yeah, I went on holidays to the US and got the 128 bit plugin for what was probably Netscape (the precursor to Firefox) and it was very clear during the download process that it wasn't to be taken outside the US. It was considered a weapon if memory serves me.

    Anyway not long after the rest of the world caught up and it looked silly in hindsight so here we are.

    Edit: just to add some context on the "weapon" thing.... The other standard was either 56 or 64 bit and it was secure enough at the time given compute capabilities but it was also clear that it would be crackable in time whereas 128 bit has a very long shelf life even with modern capabilities, as long as the algorithm was good (and it was / is)

  • Reminds me of the US trying to prevent the rest of the world getting 128 bit encryption back in the 90s.

  • Depends where you live in fairness.

    Edit: on the money front only. The rest is definitely correct.

  • I had amazing ramen in Estonia. It was run by a Japanese lady though so I'm not sure that counts.

  • I just discovered this yesterday and went all the way down that rabbit hole. Holy moly they are really trying to beat down on the guy trying to do the right thing. That police department is NASTY.

    It looks like he has some good lawyers coming his way though. Looking forward to the second part of the civil rights lawyer's video (and part three of his own).
