The "essence of linear algebra" series by 3blue1brown on YouTube does a really good job at intuitively explaining and visualizing matrix multiplication and other linear algebra topics.

That might be true in some places, but in Europe for example there really isn't that much room left. And moving large quantities of electricity from a desert to a place where people actually use it is also a challenge

It is said that the infrastructure required to sustain suburbs costs more money than these suburbs bring in. In the US a city gets federal money to build new suburbs, but when it comes to renewing them after a few decades, the city has to p

On IPv6 this would be a solved issue. With SLAAC the router just broadcasts Router Advertisements and all the machines just automatically configure their addresses, which are fully predictable based on their MAC address (if you have privacy

People are saying this because so far it has just been much warmer than usual at this time of year, and snow in November wouldn't be the most unusual thing, and most people just assume snow=winter. Some stats of my weather station in S

You either do an interview or a member sends you an invite. It's a private tracker just like what.cd was. It's less elitist than most other trackers which are invite only and sometimes lock registrations completely. Unfortunately

Well, clearly they sent it to you, so they're distributing the images. The E-Mail headers, especially if they contain a dkim signature, are likely sufficient proof for that. If not, the provider they used might be able to back your cla

Yeah in rural areas it's hard to justify building public transport. Villages can still have grocery stores though. But we were talking about cities here

Shopping would optimally happen by foot or by bike. Somewhat impossible with US zoning laws, but in a decent mixed use neighborhood a grocery store would be a <5 minutes walk from home, with actual sidewalks and no highways in between. A

Inner city driving should be restricted to service vehicles only. The inner city should be dense enough that shopping is easily done by foot or by bike, and things further away are covered by a tram or bus line within walking distance

Exactly. A commonly missed attack vector is just intercepting plaintext http and blocking https, so the browser thinks the site doesn't offer https and will just continue in plaintext. The same criticism applies to smtp using starttls,

It allows for tracking users since the second half of your address is always constant. It's a fixed problem though since basically all consumer devices these days use privacy extension addresses, which don't expose your MAC addres

My private Wireguard network is IPv6 only. SSH on all my remote servers listens on a random statically configured IPv6 address dedicated only for ssh. Since every server has an entire /64 prefix, a random internet scanner is never goin

Then E-Mails which fail the SPF and DKIM checks should be rejected by the receiving server. Many mailservers still let them through though because they just don't check dmarc or put them in a spam folder or quarantine.

This is what DMARC should solve, but it appears your mailserver lets these messages through without checking

It's actually a pretty small prefix in the IPv6 world. The recommendation for an IPv6 network is to be at least a /64, because features like SLAAC, which mostly replaces DHCP, need a /64 prefix to work properly. If you have m

You can embed a minimal ssh server (like dropbear or tinyssh) in your initramfs to remotely enter the passphrase. There are some guides for that online

In a perfect world where everyone used IPv6 ULAs this would be a solved problem. I wonder if we will ever get there

Vacuums from Dreame and Roborock can be rooted with some effort and be used completely offline with Valetudo. It's getting harder and harder though.

The way I understand full disk encryption (with LUKS at least) is that the device generates a random key which does the data encryption/decryption and the user entered password is used exclusively to encrypt that key. This allows encry

This sounds like an awesome idea, and for many communities it might be, but having to trust someone you know personally for things like these can also be a source of drama when your relationship becomes bad for unrelated reasons
