Can already do that with rclone, although a one button setup for syncthing would likely get some play.

If communications are generally encrypted then that absolutely is surprising. In that example all the clients could be counting the emoji bs or whatever individually without any server even being aware of the message content.

I understand what NFTs are, but torrents are ephemeral and recreatable and frequently replaced even for the same source data, more akin to indices. Proving you had a copy in the past or traded for said proof conveys nothing if no seeders ex

What does a NFT of a torrent even mean after we stop laughing at the absurdity?

If you participate in facebook etc apps and services at all they have far more insidious and effective tracking and NAT isn't hiding you at all. Additionally the idea that it is granting you any measure of privacy is only true if you&#

There's no reason you couldn't, but distance is not the only source of latency, so you're unlikely to find an existing case of someone doing that intentionally. Easy enough to whitelist geo-ip matches or large net block range

When affluent and educated societies worldwide show declining birthrates and increasing age at reproduction, it can be taken as a strong indicator of women's and family's preferences for fulfilling lives at demographic scale.

Taiwan was, and is to a lesser degree these days, also highly patronistic in terms of you needing to know people to get that kind of government support. That kind of corruption was why the locals were protesting and organizing against the K

hey now let's calm down with that crazy talk. They only stopped using floppies because it was getting (napkin math) 20 million times more expensive per data volume than modern data storage.

A war over Taiwan would have global economic consequences that made whatever AMD's stock price did the most minor of footnotes. The amount of trade that goes through that area of the Pacific is staggering.

The core of the problems is the KMT, who have been the roadblock to resolving this the whole time. Yes, they really were not willing to give anything, and it's black comedy at this point how many of them are in the PRC's pocket un

It seems to be a problem with older east Asian construction, I claim no specific expertise on the issue but I've observed poor p/u bend water barriers in even fairly nice buildings from the 70s and 80s in Taipei.

Outside of the same authentication domain with bad auth token practices (windows) the hash almost always is useless elsewhere. Salting increases the complexity and thus size of hash tables or hash comparison (rainbow tables), but if your ma

that's way worse than 1:1 unless all integers between 0 and 255 occur in the first 256 digits of pi, which I'm 99.pi% sure is not the case.

I love that they ran with this far enough to get it working. We need a graph of the average number of bits to store an offset into pi versus size of stored data.

As a frequent international traveler, using VPNs as a method to change routing absolutely can improve the results. Routing is not always done to get your specific packets someplace as fast as possible, particularly when submarine cables are

That's a bizarre way to read two independent sentences. I don't know if any given eastern European nations counts as developed in your terms, but pretty much all of them with similar HDI or whatever other metric to the United Stat

NVME will pull ahead with higher concurrency due to the much larger command queues. With single or small sets of reads the overall bus throughput doesn't matter much and the limitation is how fast the control board on the SSD can pull

NFS servers can remap remote UIDs to anything they want. This has been normal practice with less trusted clients for decades. If you're dealing with unreliable networks, you probably want a remote syncing system as opposed to any rpc o

What absolute nonsense is this? NFS is far from perfect but aces the insane stupid complexity of SMB any day of the week and twice on Sunday

This is mostly a problem for low-cost hosting that had some implied assumptions about how heavily used various components would be relative to the rest.

The cost center mentality is a huge part of the problem. As a consultant I've been trying for years, with limited success, to persuade people to think in terms of business process integrity, since that more clearly ties the necessary w

Encrypting data at rest at least is getting better if only because more systems do it by default as time goes on.

Think of all the untapped incompetence out there to make this happen. This could also solve UBI.

I used to be of this opinion but enough ISPs and other intermediaries will happily MITM http (and DNS) if they can to inject ads or redirects to affiliates. With modern hardware and letsencrypt, getting SSL going is about close to free and

They got me with that one once, the frame looked exactly like my bank's login and I thoughtlessly assumed it was some kind of federated authentication handoff. This is apparently enough of a problem that my bank is flagging them as lik
