Does anyone use decentralized data storage for backup? in c/[email protected]

Should be standard operating procedure anyway...

think of it as another option after flight vs fight responses

Usually expressed as fight, flight or freeze...

Storage space and new codecs: So much collected as h265. in c/[email protected]

Thanks for that, worth knowing.

True, but OP refers to 'some cherished items'

I assumed the context here was torrenting rather than streaming, download blu-ray remuxes and encode to your liking.

A 16Tb manufacturer recertified drive is USD160 which should sort storage (and later get a second for offline backup). I'm actually holding out until I get GPU encode (apparently CPU is somewhat better, but power considerations, maybe next gen). Do wish the scene would get on with switching, though, are we dinosaurs?

Is TOR compromised? in c/[email protected]
[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 week ago

No idea, I was just using it to illustrate the existence of compromised exit nodes, which to my mind are a pretty fatal flaw in TOR, perhaps someone knowledgeable can chime in.

Where do I start to make something like this? in c/programming

RetroArch doesn’t have Xbox/PS2/switch

No, but EmuDeck does, along with RetroArch... Best have a look before starting.

More power to you if you want to strike out on your own, but you may find it quicker going to join a larger project at this stage, you'll have people to ask questions to, if you choose well you'll learn best (or good) practices, etc. Maybe EmuDeck itself? In the end the language doesn't matter much (maybe avoid Perl, PHP and JavaScript at the start), once you get the concepts down it's easy to switch to another. You've got time, take some to skill up.

Is TOR compromised? in c/[email protected]
[–] [email protected] 32 points 1 week ago (6 children)

Compromised ? Maybe, but this guy doesn't provide any evidence one way or the other. He's using at least 7 other possible vectors (apparently Calculator Photo Vault just hides the gallery, no encryption, so it's over right there) which is way too many for good opsec.

With Tor the question has always been compromised exit nodes as I understand it.

Silverblue or other immutable on remote VPS? in c/[email protected]
[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 week ago

Absitively, use case here IMO is set and forget autoupdate to stay current and SELinux (which actually reduces surface)

Blood pressure watches anyone? (www.caltech.edu)
 

Seems very interesting, pr burble aside. Wonder how close this is to a micro-sonogram if generalised ? Star Trek medical tricorder component material by my reckoning.

Best VPN exit node country in SE Asia ? (slrpnk.net)
 

Wanting to torrent in a country other than my own, I've been exiting via Singapore as it has the most direct path I believe. Any reason not to ? Any superior choices for whatever reason ? Couldn't find this discussed anywhere. TIA.

Private Facebook Marketplace ? (slrpnk.net)

I'm one of those oddballs who's never joined, but I'm in the market for a new to me bike, and it seems like all the action is on marketplace. Am I screwed, or is there an effective workaround ?

Edit: Not US. There are local alternatives that I know about, but they are worse, please answer question as asked ! Basically I'm thinking of alternative software ala FreeTube, or a way of spoofing facebook to make a dummy account only to be used for this and if so what precautions to take...

Psychological truths like Skinner vs Pavlov Conditioning (slrpnk.net)
 

Something I find fascinating is that being consistent (and trustworthy) is less effective than being 80/20% consistent (classical vs operant conditioning) at training dogs where there are contextual/environmental cues at play. It's personally counter-intuitive, but I've seen it work and am convinced (I attribute it to evolutionary mechanisms, my goto in biology).

I'm wondering what other psychology as a science results have solid statistics behind them that I'm unaware of (I'm compsci with a physics/maths background, so it's probably most), and are interesting...

On the obnoxiousness of WebP (slrpnk.net)
 

Here we are with a community celebrating art, some of us might like to archive it. But no, inevitably it's google 'owned' transcoded, WebP. I have an extension to re-encode back to an old format, but that's lossy-lossy transcoding, not good. I suspect it's a Lemmy thing, but what would it take to get non-lossy here?

The voice in your head may help you recall and process words. But what if you don’t have one? (theconversation.com)
 

How does this play for you ? I identify as spectrum, what used to be Asperger's, and have to work really hard to get to visual phantasia, but I can. Also worked hard to remove aural phantasia? via meditation because of negative self talk. Do you see 'aphant' as a useful designation? Thoughts, Ideas?

Richard Marles concealed war crimes report, denying justice for David McBride (michaelwest.com.au)
 

A report critical of Australian generals’ leadership in Afghanistan was given to the Defence Minister Richard Marles in November 2023, but was not published until after the McBride sentencing. Stuart McCarthy on a travesty of justice.
