irusensei··on Opera: Rewind The Web to 1996 (Opera at 30)
I remember trying Opera for the first time in Windows 98 SE. It was one of those versions that prided itself for fitting on a floppy. I think it was 3.0.6 or 3.6. But anyway I was taken by surprise how good it was in comparison to Internet Explorer which at the time was the only browser I ever used.
irusensei··on I'm OK being left behind, thanks
IMO the only way you'd be rich with bitcoin would be if you forget about your coins and reminded of it years later or if you were a hardcore "fix the money fix the world hodl" believer.

Otherwise you would most likely have sold during one of huge crashes or values, attempted trade and lost it all, invested into the new shitcoin NFT or whatever or just got hacked along the way.

irusensei··on macOS 26 breaks custom DNS settings including .internal
I never knew about this feature but it's so cool and I wish I knew it earlier. Sadly it seems features like these are being left to rot in MacOS because it's not what the average normie uses.
irusensei··on Ageless Linux – Software for humans of indeterminate age
Anyone ever heard about the story of how Phill Zimmerman made an absolute clown of the US federal government by publishing the source code of PGP as a book?

History of computing and open source is full of clever subversiveness. If back in the past hackers had the same attitude crying about complying otherwise fines we would have nothing today.

irusensei··on The dead Internet is not a theory anymore
I imagine soon there will be small scale Tailscale style semi private networks popping up with no AI content and no regards to draconic identity collection laws.

Pick one.

irusensei··on Apple's 512GB Mac Studio vanishes, a quiet acknowledgment of the RAM shortage
Any custom configuration takes a while for them to prepare. I remember my M3 max took 2 or 3 months to a arrive.

Good thing is they only seem to charge when device ships so if an M5 comes along you should be able to cancel the m3 ultra and get the m5.

Geez you just agro the x86 guys.

Have fun reading 40 answers about how discarded Lenovos from 2017 are cheaper and stay idle at 5W. It springs to 3x the power usage of a pi if they do anything with it but who cares about performance per Watt?

It's also very hard to encounter x86 machines that can be powered from PoE.
irusensei··on Helix: A post-modern text editor
I love it but the search and replace sequences are too complicated and then I have no idea how to unselect multiple lines without specifying a line.

My vim muscle memory is too strong and stubborn.

irusensei··on System76 on Age Verification Laws
There is a nascent industry of AI backed surveillance now so you can be 200% sure a lot of lobbying happened in closed rooms.

And then there are the desperate attempts to cover actual pedophilia from the people in power. I'll never look at a politician or a so called member of the elites the same way again.

irusensei··on MacBook Pro with M5 Pro and M5 Max
The same data will use the same amount of RAM regardless of the CPU architecture.
irusensei··on MacBook Pro with M5 Pro and M5 Max
I noticed that even on my M3 MLX tends to do prefill it a lot faster than llama.cpp and GGML models. Anyone knows how they do it?
irusensei··on What AI coding costs you
I like using AI but I also like writing source code and complex configurations. I've been using it a lot for "give me an example on how to do this" but I'm not a big fan of vibe coding.
irusensei··on AI-generated replies are a scourge these days
And how would you do that without dystopian verification checks?

The reasons why Youtube and Discord are so gung ho on age verification might be because these companies that sell ads and data have a monetary incentive for distinguishing humans from bots for their investors and shareholders.

If I were to chose I'd rather have a bot infested internet than a mass surveillance dystopia.

irusensei··on Be wary of Bluesky
You are a well behaved and compliant citizen that don't need something like a censorship resistant network. Just make sure to avoid using your accounts in a way these tech giants would disapprove of.
irusensei··on Back to FreeBSD: Part 1
I don't like that aspect of OCI containers. You shouldn't be running or building on top of random images made by unknowns.
irusensei··on Be wary of Bluesky
I hear you but if you think about it who else has an incentive and skills to create something like Nostr? Who are the people interested in free speech, signatures and decentralization and with the skills to pull it up?

And since you mentioned primarily Bitcoin users those are the crypto folks that seem to be very against the idea of tokenizing everything.

From what I understand by posting something on Nostr you are posting signed events to a list of dumb relays. These events can be of many types and include hints of discoverability. There is no blockchain and no token and the thing they call zap is just a link to a lightning address that is up to the client to show.

Your account is your key pair so you are not at the whims of a power tripping administrator.

It seems like the perfect nesting ground for non corporate user content and pocket islands of communities. Nothing prevents someone from implementing a relay or community that bans any talk about Bitcoin or crypto. I for one would love to see closed content focused relays in Nostr.

irusensei··on An ARM Homelab Server, or a Minisforum MS-R1 Review
Depends on what you need it for. Love Mac minis but feature by feature the MS-R1 has more memory, ECC support and dual 10Gbe.
irusensei··on An ARM Homelab Server, or a Minisforum MS-R1 Review
Most likely not. This CPU has 3 types of cores. Heterogenous core is still a work in progress in FreeBSD and AFAIK they are targeting the Intel implementation first.
irusensei··on Finland looks to introduce Australia-style ban on social media
Seems its just another country coming up with the same convenient excuse to implement KYC to access the internet.
irusensei··on ICE and Palantir: US agents using health data to hunt illegal immigrants
Isn't this the company that NVIDIA is proudly partnering with?
irusensei··on Show HN: We Built the 1. EU-Sovereignty Audit for Websites
I have some feedback for OP: my personal website got 92% because there is a link to my X profile in the contact session. It's not like it relies on the service. Its just a contact and there are also links to other services such as self hosted matrix.

On the other hand my registrar is Namecheap which is in the US and your tool didn't checked for that. I think thats a lot more important in terms of dependance than a link to a social network so you could run a whois lookup to check what registrar is hosting that domain.

irusensei··on France Aiming to Replace Zoom, Google Meet, Microsoft Teams, etc.
I think companies should just allocate raw computing and put agnostic stacks on top of it instead of using whatever shinny serverless G-Azurezon Serverless Function Lambda Cloud with NOTREDIS CACHE and LOCAL FLAVOR OF KUBERNETES plus the new OTEL-BUT-INVENTED-HERE monitoring solution.
irusensei··on France Aiming to Replace Zoom, Google Meet, Microsoft Teams, etc.
I'm absolutely against banning usage of computer programs and platforms BUT I would rally for getting Teams banned from the face of the earth and applying a law to prevent Microsoft to attempt to create or acquire any kind of communicator for the next 50 years.
irusensei··on House of Lords Votes to Ban UK Children from Using Internet VPNs
Did the CEO of Tor announced when age verification features will be implemented?
irusensei··on Microsoft gave FBI set of BitLocker encryption keys to unlock suspects' laptops
Depends on your threat level. You can have both and enroll your own secure boot keys by the way.
irusensei··on Microsoft mishandling example.com
My impression is that Ballmer IE6 era Microsoft didn't gave a shit about standards.
irusensei··on Microsoft mishandling example.com
It's not really the domain but the registration in the MS Office Cloud. If you query who owns example.com mail you get that company.
irusensei··on Microsoft mishandling example.com
Not surprised. They used to have training material incentivizing professionals to use .local as TLD for Active Directory realms. Thats a reserved domain for Multicast DNS.

Working on Linux automation systems we would need to make sure to disable anything related to Avahi in our images otherwise name resolution would fail for some customers.
