Another option would be to setup a wireguard server listening on 53. Wireguard traffic is UDP so it would work even if TCP DNS requests are blocked. And it would also make the client configuration much easier, ie just connect to the wiregua

Leonardo da Vinci in his Codex Atlanticus said “Do not delay or prolong your visits to the lavatory”. Looks like that was some good advice.

Its called soft touch or "rubber oil". It's basically silicone suspended in plastic which gives that soft touch feeling before it biodegrades to the sticky goo.. We can easily clean that with isopropyl alcohol. You will be le

Meltemi is ok, but it's "old" and not that good by today's standards. If you need a good Greek local LLM try https://huggingface.co/ilsp/Llama-Krikri-8B-Instruct . Yes, I know it's based on LL

Have you seen H3+ ? it looks like its an HC2 with a more powerful CPU. I just received one and my plan to install OpenBSD on it some time this week.

I would highly recommend moi3D.com. Its ‘only’ a NURBS modeler but I’ve successfully used from initial concept design all the way to DFM. Its user interface is extremely well thought out and its written by Michael Gibson who is also the o

About your first point, MAD was actually developed by John von Neumann and there is nothing accidental about it. 'He also "moved heaven and earth" to bring MAD about.' https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/J

I think that the fact that our society was mainly designed (or evolved) to maximize the profits of the people in power as opposed to peoples wellbeing plays a huge part in depression. Some people just don't fit in our monoculture (scho

If you are on macOS you can use the "Network Link Conditioner" System Preferences pane that is included with Xcode for the same effect. You can find that in the Additional Tools for Xcode download, in the Hardware folder.

You can still use telnet v1.9.4 on macOS. Just copy it from an old version of OSX (pre High Sierra). It still works fine on Monterey.

There is a very nice writeup on using OpenBSD on the Framework laptop by joshua stein, one of the OpenBSD developers. Unfortunately he had to swap the wifi card as it was unsupported. https://jcs.org/2021/08/06&#x2

In Cyprus, where i live, this is an actual joke still said today! I've heard (and said) this joke many times in my life, and it never crossed my mind that it's 2000 years old. Setup is the same and the punchline goes "Οτι νομ

Yes, thats exactly how i feel. I'd still hate it if my iCloud uploads are scanned but I'm already assuming that anyway. But the fact that my iOS device can potentially report me to any authorities, for whatever reason, is crossing

Yes it cares. If you rename a folder to folder.app then it will change to look and "behave" like an app. Or if you change the extension of a video file to mp3 you'll loose the icon preview. Finder does try to help with renam

I will never understand why "Show all filename extensions" is unchecked by default in Finder.
