I don't think people actually care about a sincere answer to "how are you doing", so replying with the prebaked line makes sense

> Nvidia that gives absolutely zero fucks about people that aren’t their enterprise customers buying GPUs by the thousands.

for the context, nvidia gives zero fucks about people who are buying their GPUs by thousands as well.

Not shot on sight but e.g. "being declined entry because you refused to unlock your smartphone to the customs officer". And then you have to fly back over the ocean.

America isn't special here, I guess every country treats non-citizens worse than citizens. But at least the trip back is usually shorter

"privacy tools" doesn't sound strong enough. "tools to bypass censorship of the future fascist government" sound better, though longer

I always remember a video snippet of some meeting in US, some chinese looking woman says something like "Mao took our guns and killed us all, I'm never giving up my rifle". Some politician reminds her that they live in the democracy. She asks him something like "can you guarantee me that in 20 years it will still be a democracy", which he admits he can't

New comment by tryauuum in "Finland: Failures to deliver public warnings (Finnish)"

tryauuum — Sat, 16 May 2026 20:52:18 +0000

I'm thinking now, is there even a point of notifying everyone during a drone alert? With current amount of drones entering Finland, you are more likely to die in a car accident when you leave your house than to be killed by a drone

I guess it's better to know than to not know (citation needed).

both are shit

I used a recent nvidia blackwell GPU with linux, periodic crashes. Blackwell generation is shit.

Used recent builtin AMD GPU... Even worse, super reproduceable X crashes when using firefox

tryauuum — Mon, 04 May 2026 12:18:59 +0000

Can anyone recommend any good content to learn cryptography? Like, even if I read the algorithm for AES I have zero understanding about why it works this way

I've finished the Cryptography I on Coursera already. Can't recommend it enough

New comment by tryauuum in "Russia Poisons Wikipedia"

tryauuum — Sat, 02 May 2026 17:11:53 +0000

Thank you for the context

I personally would prefer "Reichskommissariat Norwegen" and "Estonian SSR" right on the person's page in wikipedia. Then I don't have to navigate to another page to learn who was in power that time.

New comment by tryauuum in "Why IPv6 is so complicated"

tryauuum — Sat, 02 May 2026 16:38:00 +0000

I think they are not afraid, they just see 0 reasons to

without IPv6: everything works already, your customers can access any website

with IPv6: ...what are the benifits to them? they still have to provide IPv4 to customers or do some ipv6 to ipv4 translation to make sure ipv4 websites still work

(I've never worked at an ISP so my opinion might be useless)

the "other countries recognition" is a valid point which I missed

Still, it kind of feels weird if (I assume) for 40 years everyone had "Estonian SSR" stamped in their birth certificates / passports, and then we say "actually they were born in Republic of Estonia (occupied)"

New comment by tryauuum in "Russia Poisons Wikipedia"

tryauuum — Sat, 02 May 2026 15:41:07 +0000

Not change to "Russia", change to "Estonian Soviet Socialist Republic"

If some force occupies and renames your country for 40+ years, seems fair to use that name in wikipedia when talking about this period

I understand invading countries is not cool, but you cannot fix crimes of USSR by retroactively renaming places

BTW, the page about the 2022 Russia-Ukraine war in russian wikipedia was surprisingly good. No "special military operation" crap

this ld.so magic will lose the suid bit

tryauuum — Sat, 25 Apr 2026 09:08:04 +0000

> circus (the collective noun for a group of kea)

Seems like a useless feature of the language. What's the point of using a unique name per bird group? To signal your bird obsession level?
