New comment by sysadm1n in "MIT physicists turn pencil lead into electronic gold"

Title is misleading. I thought this was some sort of modern-day alchemy that yields actual gold, as in this type of gold, chemical element symbol Au: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gold

New comment by sysadm1n in "F*** Paywalls"

sysadm1n — Sat, 04 Nov 2023 17:17:28 +0000

Looks like they use some sort of proxy:

Typically news sites rate limit how much a particular IP can be used to read articles. I assume the proxy IP is different each time.

sysadm1n — Sat, 04 Nov 2023 17:07:26 +0000

For smartphones, assume an always-on wiretap situation. But for laptops, it may be harder depending on how hardened your setup is, and how tight your opsec is. There is the possibility that if you're a high value target and you bought your laptop online that it could be bugged, but you would have to be someone like a drug trafficker or a journalist or some other high profile person.

sysadm1n — Sat, 04 Nov 2023 17:04:20 +0000

You're right, Ubuntu feels bloated to me. It's subtle, but noticeable. Mint is a good lightweight alternative. 8GB is enough for everyday computing, although some people multitask with several apps open which can choke things a bit.

New comment by sysadm1n in "As the public begins to believe Google isn’t as useful, what happens to SEO?"

sysadm1n — Wed, 01 Nov 2023 17:19:23 +0000

'The People' when really it's mostly bots these days, and getting smarter with LLMs too. Only a few blogs/articles are written by actual humans, and something strange has happened to my cognitive abilities lately; is discerning whether an article is written by an LLM or a human. I regularly play a game called 'bot or not' now.

> How do you defend against hackers using these to attack your SaaS server?
