6jQhWNYh··on The US ambassador had Belgian police stop our reporting
You misunderstand how trespassing works here. Civil law, as used in Belgium and most of the world, is completely different from Common law used in English-speaking countries.

Trespassing (lokaalvredebreuk or huisvredebreuk) has a much narrower definition focused on squatting for the former, or entering a home for the latter. A fenced-off party area in a public space is neither. Even if it were trespassing, police can't just force people to leave on the spot because someone asked them to.

The whole issue is that the lawful basis for ejecting the journalists is very unclear, and the initial complaint (active threat) certainly wouldn't play in Freedom 250's favor if it reached a court.

6jQhWNYh··on Statement on US government directive to suspend access to Fable 5 and Mythos 5
Threats of invasions and coercions look pretty adversarial to me.

The latency is acceptable. I host a remote gaming rig accessed through Parsec, the extra encoding/decoding latency is minimal. Distance has the largest effect, I found that over roughly 1,000 km my total latency is about 30 ms, perfectly playable for all but the most competitive FPS.
6jQhWNYh··on GrapheneOS – Break Free from Google and Apple
Interesting article. Let's now hope for a reasonable price, even though it will be challenging for their team. It would be a shame if the target audience is limited to overpaid nerds like most of HN.

It's a shame only Pixel phones are supported. I have PWM sensitivity and Pixel phones are notoriously bad for this, my eyes hurt when I look at one for more than 30mn. Due to the lack of good, secure alternative, I have had to give up on privacy in exchange for manufacturer updates.

I2P's major drawback when torrenting is speed. Assuming a speed of 500 kbps, it would take 2,000 days to download a 10 TB torrent.

Same
6jQhWNYh··on I asked Signal motivations for SMS removal
I concur, SMS is DEFINITELY still common in Europe. Removing support for SMS would mean all of family will stop using the app now, this is completely silly and US-centric...
6jQhWNYh··on How Russia Took over the Internet in Crimea and Eastern Ukraine
Makes me wonder whether the original comment was satirical but I doubt it
6jQhWNYh··on Hetzner now provides IPv6 only dedicated servers
You can: buy a cheap 4€/year domain at OVH and you'll get your own mail with their free 10M web hosting plan.
6jQhWNYh··on Do not leave XPS laptop in any sleep/hibernate/standby mode when placed in a bag
It's definitely a Windows issue. I've had it with non-XPS Dells and completely different brands like Eluktronics.

Thanks for the reply, that's a very interesting plugin!
6jQhWNYh··on LeafletJS: a JavaScript library for interactive maps
Our company made the switch from Leaflet to OpenLayers as we were unable to reproject rasters with different CRS to the map's CRS in Leaflet.

Is there any plan to add on-the-fly reprojection within Leaflet core? Is it even the core's job to deal with projection or should this be done by plugins?
