Notably, the pure act of linking is not what is being require d a licensing fee for. Rather if you take exerpts of the content (like for example Twitter link previews)

I use LVM and LUKS too. While I haven't encrypted /boot (due to using UEFI) I do have full disk encryption on the remaining disks.

The longest delay is mounting the spinning disks but overall after I enter the password boot takes less than 30 seconds...

I would recommend to check the output of the following commands:

    systemd-analye

    systemd-analyze critical-chain

These will output the boot times (firmware, bootloader, kernel, initrd, userspace) and the service chain that took the longest during boot.

Which is a good goal, though I think you could probably have worded the title better.

The real kicker is that I've gotten more consistently genuine electronic products from AliExpress than from Amazon.

:/

It uses jsonstore.io for server side processing, I think the title is a bit disingenuous...

I find the only real status symbol is a three-letter email name, though only if you're on a big provider or some other big email system.

For company mail just use something unique, nobody cares.

Generally the authority in the country in which you are established is responsible for you and communication will happen with them, same applies when you designate a representative in the union.

No this is completely wrong.

When you're in the EU, the only "GDPR-version" that applies is the german one. I'm currently registered with the bavarian authority for example and any complaints will be handled there.

You can read this in Art. 56 §1 where this is very explicitly defined.

Basically, though Mill also is belt-based (think stack with size-limit) not registers and compilers nowadays are a bit better at VLIW than when IA-64 was introduced. They also have a shitload of security addons that would mitigate most modern exploits and other nice-to-haves.

The peeps building Mill CPU are claiming they can do 10x performance over traditional (x86). IIRC in an early talk they explained this is mostly by bringing the IPC on a level with high IPC microcontroller arches. They do VLIW which can do a lot of things more efficiently if your compiler can handle it (Rust should be able to pull a lot of performance out of VLIW IIRC)

Microsoft made seven billion dollars by issuing new stocks prior to the purchase. Github was basically free for them.

I recommend setting up a static blog, hugo/jekyll. Though wordpress and ghost are pretty decent.

I would advice against medium, it's a terrible experience from mobile and on PC.

Outside of proper therapy probably not much and I've never gotten around to do that. In my case it helps to make sure that I always have something to work on alone via issues on JIRA or other collaboration tools.

Anxiety might kick in that I'm not sufficiently working towards the goal or solving the problem correctly.

>You can always tell when someone grew up like this. They are always afraid of doing anything that might even remotely be considered outside the box. They lack that ability and drive to find things out for themselves, and instead rely on others for help and guidance to a fault.

I would be careful there it can happen by other means too. I suffer from a fair bit of anxiety, so I show similar symptoms for different reasons; instead of not knowing how to act outside the box or being unable to not rely on others, I'm merely afraid of doing those things, although capable of them.

I think if you want to separate the two cases the easiest way is to give them alone time and a high level task to fulfill that requires initiative to solve. Those who have grown up overprotected will continue to seek guidance while those who are simply afraid of social missteps will be happily on their way the moment they are alone with a clear goal.

A lot of VPN services forbid running exit nodes in their ToS as it tends to trash IP reputation...

Should be noted that it's not perfect. It encourages a rather slow pace in politics. There is also a lot more than simply a proportional system to it (for one there is a 5% minimum for getting into parliament), there are laws and rules around voting such that the government doesn't deadlock because of a single party or complicated political spats

It's okay IMO but could be improved somewhat.

>Not surprisingly the quasi-communists and Ayn Randians couldn't agree on anything and that attempt failed, but it goes to show how strange proportional representation can get.

That's a bit of a misinterpretation. One of the leading figures in the FDP party broke up the jamaica band when everyone was about to get together and form the coalition. (Naturally his party was pissed about this but because he won an election for them they just rolled over and went with that).

While the german government can sort of deadlock it's not a situation like in the US where everything shuts down. The government continues to function, although with minimized power, until the new parliament is formed. They can't put out any major new laws but they're not completely dead-in-the-water.

>Germany is ruled by a coalition of two parties that both lost votes in the last election, and whose leaders hate each other.

It's more complicated than that. The SPD-CDU/CSU coalition (which is three party not two depending on how you look at it) is getting a reputation with the voters, under this coalition Merkel has been chancellor for a long time now. They two sides (other than CDU/SPD resenting the CSU for sitting in the backseat of federal politics and screaming incoherent right-wing garbage (I'm bavarian, I know what I'm talking about here)) don't hate eachother but to my knowledge it's a mutual understanding that they cannot continue this coalition any further.

>because proportional representation results in lots of parties getting into power with none having a majority.

Note that Germany has a 5% clause for this; you need 5% of the votes to get into parliament, otherwise you have no say.

This is mainly a result of the previous government turning into the third reich after several parties deadlocked the parliament for real.

GDPR Art 83, §1

Effective, proportionate and dissuasive fines are widely understood under common EU law that the fine may not bankcrupt a corporation, if it does for whatever reason because it's too high, you can seek legal remedies against the authority as per GDPR Art. 78

And that is only the GDPR, there are similar provisions in all EU member countries.

The exception will be, of course, if you caused economic damage to users or others, in which case you'll have a case at the regulator and a court case will be opened too, both of which are independent and the court case can certainly bankcrupt you if the damages far exceed what your company has in assets (in which case your company will be forcefully dissolved and that's that)

EU regulators don't do that, mostly because in the EU there is a right to a proportional punishment, meaning you must be able to pay it, atleast if you're a corporation.

The EU has no interest in bankrupting anyone, there are guidelines setup by the EU for the regulators for this.

Revenue is not profit or the money available to a business.

1/25th of revenue sounds small but if you have a profit margin of 30% that's already 13% of your profit just gone. At 10% margin it's 40% of your profit.

I think large business still very much cares when 40% of annual profit just goes poof.

But that's opt out and not opt in!!!

Of course, yes. Once you can identify a unique person it's personal data, even if you cut of octets. If you only log the IP for example for detecting duplicate accounts, it should be good enough.

Atleast per german court rulings, which at that time largely covered what is defined as PII under GDPR, say that the full IP is PII but the first three octets is not.

As another comment here pointed out;

90.1% possess about 30% of the wealth.

9% possess another 30% of the wealth.

The remaining 0.9% possess the rest.

Is the 9% to blame for inequality?

Regarding the first part of your comment; there are perfectly legit reasons you might not want your full contact details published on a database accessible to the wider public. Just think of political dissidents in other countries or people at risk of being doxxed for various reasons or simply not wanting that information to be public at all.

Regarding the second part, it's not viable to "make new and better". There is new and maybe better but nobody is using it. The ICANN has a quasi-monopoly on governing the DNS registration rules on the internet. It's like saying that if we don't like Facebook we should switch to Diaspora. As much as I'd like to, Diaspora doesn't have the network of Facebook or the reach which is an immediate nogo for a lot of people. Not recognizing that is simply ignoring the reality of many people's lives.

I frequently use the old reddit design (as in old old) because the new and new new design both suck a lot on mobile in terms of speed.

There is nothing native about a website which has actual lagging while I scroll when the previous version could do it just fine in desktop mode.

uMatrix can do the later too by now

Yes but that's a full UUID, using a 64bit integer with some encoding is far shorter.

Technically yes.

In production no.
