   I'm not into the 'zombie apocalypse' type scenarios, but you can't be serious in thinking that hammers are as efective as a shotgun. Plus, note that we only make it easier to get a permit if you're a sane, law-abidi

   I might have chosen wrong arguments, i agree. Most of the people get permits for sports or just collecting. We're not creating another Army or militia. I don't believe that a couple thousands of gun owners, with no disicpline or l

   I accept the risk that some people will die doing something they like, like driving a sports car, skydiving, eating lots of red meat or shooting a gun. It's just life. People die from all things. US model is fucked beyond recognition a

   I'm doing exactly this, spreading the opportunity to legally own a firearm in Poland ( https://braterstwo.eu ). It's a Wordpress plugin, php scripts and a bit of legal stuff (creating a NGO, bank account with automatic p

   I've been using tarsnap as a backup tool for a small NGO, especially backing up DB. I take a dump of the DB every 2 hours (we have almost 1k users now) and send it over. The biggest pain is that it now takes ages to list archives. I th

   https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heat_pump You could have just googled it. The heat is moved around, it's not created. You can move energy, can't you?

   Why not just very good VR? Cannot believe it'd be more difficult than creating robots that can't be told from real humans.

   Consider using Ublock Origin, lightweight, more honest and well behaving adblocker.

    It's supposed to mess up the stats and inject uncertainty into ad analysis. They are trying to bring down the price of ads on the internet, thus making them unprofitable. I hope they succeed.

    This is why i don't use Chrome. Enough of my life is in google's hands. I believe they are already too big. I wish for a more open smartphone ecosystem and better tools for privacy.

    I retired at 25 due to startup and some inheritance. Being free all the time can be depressing and i began to look for challenges. It's not so easy if you don't "need" to go through all the bullshit and hard work that gi

    I unplugged my antenna almost two years ago. The only time i switch the TV on is when i wanna watch a movie on a bigger screen -- but i only connect my laptop to it. The antenna is cut right through. There were a couple of moments when i wa

    I use linuxpl.com ( https://linuxpl.com/Hosting-Serwery-wirtualne ) which is ~ 12 usd / year (so just $1/ month). Comes with 2 GB of space and 50 gb bandwidth per month. SSH access, shared hosting (so pretty powerfu

    I've been using Linux on desktop for years and love how flexible and open it is. I use maybe 1% of its capabilities and it's amazing. I'd love to be able to have a working, stable and open mobile system. I don't want to

    I've been using Linux since high school (late 20 here) and i cannot imagine going back to windows. I'm always surprised when a fellow programmer says they use windows at home. I couldn't live without command prompt. I love up

    Nobody wants to touch a political issue with a stick. The US election is a nightmare now, you get no good choices. Well, i think it was similar this couple of years across many places. Democracy is just not compatible with huge masses of no

    How come the biggest names in IT don't work towards creating a modern, better security library? It's pennies for them, they wouldn't even see it on the balance. Having security issues slows down business significantly. Non-ge

    Thanks for the info. Not only am i more sure that VeraCrypt is a good alternative to discontinued TrueCrypt (which i used and loved for years), but i learned about a new version with important bug fixes. I should donate to more open source

    The research seems low quality. Whenever i try creating something more complex than just a CRUD webapp, i'm always relieved after getting a significant code coverage. It may be because i'm a medicore programmer (i mostly do hobby
