Aren't we bringing about an era where you can't trust what you see or hear, unless it comes from a source you trust?

Essentially aren't we just reverting back to 1800s where news came from newspapers of reputation, and hearsay came from elsewhere

What dilution? 25% makes you sterile and 50% kills you after a week of drinking it

One of these is not like the other. My bet is number 2.

Emacs and Vi walk into a pub. "What can I get you?" asks the bartender. They both agree on a nice locally-sourced Ale with a good kick to it.

They down drink after drink. Emacs starts to slur words and sway after a while, but Vi just keeps on knocking them back seemingly unaffected by it.

As the night goes on, more and more patrons leave the bar. "Last call!" says the bartender, and rings the bell.

Emacs nods, stumbles up to a piano, and strikes a few chords. After a few moments of emptying pockets and saving lint, they vanish in a puff of smoke. Vi watches this display and then turns back to their drink.

"You know," says the bartender, "you can quit whenever you want."

Vi just smiles and weeps.

And the budget isn't insane either.
During dev he blew through 5 grand (high for an individual, but nothing compared to some startups)
For production, apparently building one of these yourself with the materials he's provided would cost $1500 -- again, really not that astronomical

This is really shining a lens on some companies charging $2000 for mid-tier laptop with half these features.
I'm... quite excited that we're entering a new era of hardware, which would put an end to these needless hardware companies

Um, whilst I agree that the powers that be are definitely anti-palestine, this is just a video of cops chasing a kid who happens to be holding a palestine flag.

Given that other people are also holding flags and not being chased, I'm guessing they're not chasing him just because he's holding the flag.

This is pretty disingenuous social media reporting.

Edit: The novaramedia link up in the thread does seem to show excessive police action against peaceful protest. I don't think the video shows this, but it could be related.

I have a small PC I use for exposing a private PC to the wider web via nginx proxy. It had two accounts on it: mine, and one I called "remote" with some basic password I set up to forward the proxy connection.

One day, this machine started making 100% CPU noises, for several hours. Wtf? I check the processes and a Tor node had been setup and was transmitting gigabytes to some Russian IP.

My brain goes into panic mode, I kill the process, wipe the remote user, and eventually pull the Ethernet plug.

I wish I hadn't wiped the user directory as I wanted to know what was being sent and where. Nonetheless the logs showed that several Russian IPs had been attempting an SSH brute force for literally months and one finally guessed "remote" and weak password I set for it.

I have decades of experience on Unix system, and I cringe having made such a rookie mistake.

Lesson learned: change the default SSH port to a transient port, have one dedicated SSH user with a non-standard username, and use auth-key entry only.

I still wonder what was being sent over that Tor node, and why it required all the CPU cores. My best guess is crypto mining, or it was used for a DDOS attack net somewhere.

Um, Australia is required to exist to stop the weight of the US from flipping the Earth plane over. It's literally the counterweight continent.

He thrives on this kind of media attention. Its a stunt so that people think he's harmless and funny. He's not. He knows exactly what he's doing.

Its a thought experiment involving a room where people write letters and shove them under the door of the Chinese kid's dorm room. He doesn't understand what's in the letters so he just forwards the mail randomly to his Russian and Indian neighbours who sometimes react angrily or happily depending on the content. Over time the Chinese kid learns which symbols make the Russian happy and which symbols make the Indian kid happy, and so forwards the mail correspondingly until he starts dating and gets a girlfriend that tells him that people really shouldn't be shoving mail under his door, and he shouldn't be forwarding mail he doesnt understand for free.
