docker service that sets up containers runs as root. podman does away with that service.

you are betting that the package is popular, has enough eyes to mitigate attack in 7 days. attackers could also target unpopular packages for long game

The site doesn't mention this. But, are they locking down QR code auth for only safetynet authenticated devices and with mobile number verification?

It's the slippery slope that's the issue, 24hrs is just the first iteration of the restriction. After couple of iteration of restrictions, they could force everyone to have govt-id approved by goog to install any app.

With the way elections changed after social media became big. Govts want to have control back, like they did before. And are increasingly curbing open internet with boogeyman CP or terrorists, new fear of mass AI CP. Ultimately we'll get 2nd hand version of great firewall and social credit system. Some "liberal democracies" already have root of such systems implemented.

You can write simple http server or rest client with stdlib in Go. No need to include tokio, serde and hundred other cargos which constantly break things. I have apps written in Go more than a decade ago work the same now with recent version of Go. Where as, I had issues with getting few year old github apps in rust compiling and working in rust.

go and python exits with sane stdlib and are already used extensively

You could write most of the cli tools using stdlib in python and go, without need for including hundreds of libraries even for trivial things.

That's just direct dependencies. Including all the dependency tree is 785k LOC according to lib.rs. Most rust libraries include tons of others.

They have a battery live stream from 100% to 0 linked on their product page which is broken. Hopefully they'll fix it and add both linux and windows version of the test.

More over that 12GW is start of construction. New commissioned nuclear is 2.7GW in 2025 and 7.4GW in 2024. 2024 is probably an anomaly.

Last year ai folks are all over wallstreet and articles, decrying how hardware folks are a roadblock to new frontiers in AI. They just couldn't print and pack the new chips faster.

I sync articles and books to my phone via adb. There is this adbsync python script that syncs files in rsync fashion using adb. Hopefully google won't kill or add barriers to adb like they are doing with installing apks now.

> Nothing is in jeopardy if the operators remain completely anonymous, which it seems like they will.

If the 3 letter agencies want to track you down, it is highly unlikely that you could keep your anonymity. Unless you are also part of 3 letter agencies from NK, CN, RU etc.

It's legacy of IBM PC compatible standard, that has multiple vendors building computers, peripherals that work with each other. Microsoft tried their EEE approach with ACPI that made suspend flaky in linux in early years.

It doesn't crash as often as it used to few years ago. JS heavy sites might not work, and layout issues too. And internet gatekeepers cloudflare turnstile doesn't work.

Problem isn't nuclear cooling per se. It's the designs of these nuclear reactors which expected to work with mild European weather. India and China have nuclear reactors working in desert without any cooling issues. Of course, as most of EU and west atrophied in building nuclear reactors in general, building new reactors or modifications won't be economical.
