Wow, so much is down. Nothing Cloudflare protected is loading for me in Indiana, and the Cloudflare dashboard is broken as well.

I hope it gets resolved in the next hour or two, or it could be a serious problem for me.

btrfs is good, but it's far from perfect. RAID 5 and 6 don't exactly work, it can have problems at high snapshot counts, and there's lots of even recent reports of corruption and other kinds of filesystem damage.

It feels more user friendly than ZFS, but ZFS is much more feature complete. I used to use btrfs for all my personal stuff, but honestly ext4 is just easier.

Did Tavi explain why anywhere?

And I say this as a person who's phone says "Today: 0 minutes" and "Daily average screen time: 20 m" (almost all 2FA and maps)

The daughter was vaping. I'm not entirely clear, how did taking away a phone stop that?

And I know a large number of teens that are honor role, on sports teams, and gesticulate, all while having a phone and actively use social media.

I also know teens with depression, insomnia, and poor grades, even though they don't have a phone or social media.

That's not to say phones aren't harmful, but clearly it's not everything.

I love Stoke (and I sorta really want to work there). It has like a startup vibe to it, but with some seriously advanced technology. Dogs in the workplace, and also two enormous, expensive, metal 3d printers.

Shout-out to Joshua and co for letting me look around.

That economic rift is not the fault of the DDR.

1. The West of Germany, particularly the Rhine, had large amounts of natural resources and much industrial capacity. This was true long before Germany was split. Take the steel production of Germany in 1944, for example. 59% of Steel production was in the West, 18% was in the East, and 16% was in the areas outside of Germany. This is not only more production, but more production per capita.

2. Like most of the former Easter bloc, the privatization of state companies resulted in economic downturn in that region. Especially since many of these state industries were simply closed and cashed out on. Jörg Steinbach, economy minister of Brandenburg, is quoted as saying "Some 70 per cent of East German industry disappeared".

It doesn't seem so.

I really love Nomad's UX, so I hope we get one sometime soon-ish.

You could try using something like Synth[0]! You can hook it up to a database, it'll generate some json describing the shape and types of your data based on your database (or you could write the json yourself), then you can use Synth to generate fake data and directly insert it into your database.

Full disclosure, I'm the maintainer, but it's not like it'll cost you anything.

Termius?

idk, daily driving postmarketOS makes those kinds of things easy

Probably a diaeresis, a diacritic which indicates that two vowels aren't to be read as a digraph or diphthong. It's fancy and pretentious, and frequently seen in New Yorker articles.

That's probably just scope 1 emissions, full lifecycle brings it to the number I gave.

The specific source was: https://www.theverge.com/2023/4/26/23697746/tesla-climate-po...

There's a VW factory making gas vehicles pretty close to Berlin. I sorta understand where they're coming from (Tesla emits ~33 million tons of CO2 equivalent per year, and is significantly less efficient than bikes, public transport, or even some motorized vehicles), but this adventurism is at best having little impact, and they didn't really choose their target well.

Yeah, it's nice and all, but it's a node application and requires premium for TOTP.

rbw is written in Rust and doesn't need premium for TOTP.

rbw (a terminal client for Bitwarden) can also generate totp codes.

On my phone, I'll just open a new tab and not even bother trying to get to the other tabs. The syncing is more phone -> computer than the other way around. And, beyond that, syncing is more useful for me for between computers.

I have, at this moment, 5501 tabs open. Sync does just fine.

Factoring 15 with quantum computers happened nearly 22 years ago[1]. The current record for factoring, with just Shor's and no minimization, is 21. Like you said, a lot of the hyped ones aren't practical. It's not that hard to pretend to factor large numbers on a quantum computer [2]. There have been a few newer algorithms can work with larger numbers, but they have scaling issues and so aren't useful for cryptography.
