pizzapill··on The Honeypot Diaries: Thousands of Daily Attacks on My Home Network
You are wrong. Over 2k from China and 55 from Germany for example. I see the same distribution on my Servers.

That being said: attributing those attacks to Chinese actors based on IP falls a little short. Proxychains exist and are used.

Grüße. I wonder if there were more trains there would you take it. A reasonable observation many North Americans make is that it would just take too long to get anywhere by train, unlike in Europe. AKA 300 years is old vs. 300 miles is far.
pizzapill··on Thoughts on the fading away of the age of IE
Because Microsoft, Google and Apple are the fig leaf for each other. No Monopoly in sight.

Microsoft had to keep Apple alive to be their fig leaf, Google keeps Mozilla alive to be their fig leaf. Apple is not as dominant as Microsoft was.

Preface: I`m no expert.

What you are looking at here is a Natural Language Model. They are Chatbots. What you want is a classification model, the typical Spam filter is a Naive Bayes classifier.

If you want to run a Natural Language Model at a meaningful speed and size on your server you probably need a high end consumer graphics card. If you want to run a Natural Language Model that is big you will need high end server graphics cards. The first option is maybe $1k the other $10k.

pizzapill··on Infrared may no longer be a punchline, as IEEE approves 9.6Gbps wireless light
My guess is that if the power cables suck the newer generation will have bad speeds too. If you have the option buy a pair with the right to return and try it. I was very happy with this solution.
pizzapill··on Infrared may no longer be a punchline, as IEEE approves 9.6Gbps wireless light
Have a look at Ethernet over power cables. I had them in my last apartment where WIFI was bad and cable was unacceptable.
pizzapill··on Dusk OS: 32-bit Forth OS. Useful during first stage of civilizational collapse
I too was losing sleep over the tought that we would only have TempleOS after a catastrophic collapse of civilzation.
pizzapill··on Cool, but obscure X11 tools (2019)
You got a flight simulator for free and you are complaining?

:)

Feel like Stunts is such a sleeper retro game so many played and nobody ever talks about. Incredible fully customizable levels with massive obstacles rendered in 3D. In 1990, 3 years before doom.
pizzapill··on How many people have ever lived on Earth?
I also specified that this jellyfish is BIOLOGICAL immortal. If it were provided with a livable space indefinitely, it would live forever.

Can't argue with that tbh. only that we then start to talk about unimaginable timeframes.
pizzapill··on Astro framework lowers competitors by ~40% on performance graph to looks better
I looked at this chart just yesterday for a quick evaluation. The statistical axis deception was totally lost on me. However my first thought looking at this graph was that they don't compare themselves to the fast competition.

> It's part of life that it ends, it seems. No way of getting around that no matter how many sci-fi solutions Bostrom proposes as realistic.

That's not a general truth. The Turritopsis dohrnii jellyfish is biological immortal.

pizzapill··on Far Cry 1.34 source code (2006)
This is the usual argument you hear when it comes to old Games. It often would take way to long time to "clean" them up from 3rd party contributions/licenses etc. For a OS this is a impossible task.

E-Mail accounts seem the worst. Just lets write letters again, if you need a pencil I recommend penisland.net
pizzapill··on The Magic Nix Cache, a GitHub Action for speeding up your Nix workflows
I know you wanted to make a general point but in Arch you can just change PKGEXT='.pkg.tar' in /etc/makepkg.conf and the compression stage is skipped.

Tar would also be the answer to how to do fake compression (keeping files together and in order in one file) IF you can choose the "compression" library/tool.

pizzapill··on Ask HN: What are some of the most elegant codebases in your favorite language?
Look at that subtle off-white coloring. The tasteful thickness of it. Oh, my God. It even has a watermark.

Now lets see Paul Allen's screenshots of the directory structure of his codebase.

I don't think that's how you lose fat. You get rid of the exhaust generated during the chemical fat burning process. If you couldn't exhale you would still burn fat.
pizzapill··on Reddit just auto removed my comment with a link to Lemmy.ml
Cloudflare proxy error here too.

pizzapill··on Fark redesign is now live (2007)
There is more to it than the amount Reddit demands now. One huge issue is that it's a very sudden move.

30 days is not enough time to change apps business models (with existing paying customers in the mix). Additionally it seems reddit made promises in the beginning of this year that they wont monetize API access.

Reddit does not want to find common ground with 3rd party apps and make money with them, it wants them out of the market ASAP.

The issue even extends to non-mobile users that are afraid now that old reddit will be chopped for better monetization etc.

Hi, thanks for your offer I just sent you an email. If you haven't received anything let me know ;)
pizzapill··on Firefox Relay
You can manually fetch emails from external accounts via the Gmail settings - Accounts. I'm not sure if this is available in the app but it's available on the (desktop) page. It's a hassle but there is a way in tight situations.
pizzapill··on Tesla opens charging network to other EVs for the first time
EU is currently in the process of making USB-C charging mandatory. Apple is still in denial but they will follow suit eventually, in the EU at least.

pizzapill··on Economic costs of war
There is a lot of headroom until China even reaches US levels of pollution per capita though. The USA is emitting ~2.5x as much GHG per capita than China.

Also China is the workbench of the world, other nations just shift their GHG load there, first and foremost the US.

pizzapill··on Economic costs of war
China and the USA are responsible for roughly half of global Green House Gas emissions.

A few years ago China pledged to invest trillions into environmental protection over the next decades. We can only hope that the USA takes similar steps. Both countries can afford it and both have access to know how other countries have build up in this effort.
