Now I re-installed Debian. Reached the "installation finished" point, system re-start, and ... got to the mouse pointer, and not beyond. E_DONE. The old 256 GB SDD is now back in the machine. I do not know if I will ever try a Linux dual boot again. That experience just now was fucking negative. At least, I have now a fresh system backup available. And the fresh 480 GB Kingston SDD may find its way as the system drive of my big old machine (if it can be connected mechanically...)

AI needs Mentors to get any smarts. Google and the rest are too restricted and restricting in what they let us see... Spectate's Swampies will fill the bill... Search needs results that include SPACES before and after words. Finding words in the middle of other words is not good. AND it's nearly impossible to read words, where there are no spaces! THE NEW FEATURE With a space in-front-of and behind for up to 6 words ... Will produce patterns and unexpected matches... AI will need someone with "eyes" to get them on their Searching way... AI will never become anything, as results stand now..... Such a high % of fake news & BS on the Cloud The Search Shaman and His Swampies are here to mentor and curate the truth.

@remi said in Driving Anti-Patterns - Necro Edition: @Carnage looks like at least half of them are running a red light or a stop sign (hint: don't do that...). And almost all of them would have been avoided by not going way too fast (sometimes that applies to the victims as well as the driver who caused the accident!). Loss of control of vehicle (skidding in the rain etc.) and other things seem a distant 3rd to those two. Dunno if that's a bias of the video (and on relying on dashcams). I think that there is a bit of selection bias, since it's a collection of most brutal crashes of a year (or whatever) and intersection crashes usually look dramatic, as does speeding and head on crashes. But yeah, stop driving like a fuckwit and most accidents will not happen.

@kazitor one class in university, the professor had a lecture where he announced the results of the test (I don't remember why there was a lecture after the test, maybe that professor was giving another class or it was a partial test, whatever). He first put up a slide with everyone's score, ranging roughly from 2 to 8 (on a scale from 0 to 20 where 20 is "perfect"), meaning everyone had failed (<10). Then after leaving the class sigh and moan for a few seconds, he said "for [random fake reason I don't remember], I've decided to adjust a bit the scores" and he showed a second slide where the scores were basically the previous, time 2 or 2.5 (so basically most of the class passed, which was the norm). We all nervously laughed at the "joke" and how the professor was kind to us but rumours were that he pulled a similar trick every year and no one, professor included, ever questioned whether, since this happened every year, the fault was with the professor rather than the students...

I have an opinion on wearing white socks in general, and with black crocs in particular. I chose not to share it with the person in question.

@LaoC said in Hacking News: I see no reason to switch. Supposedly the algorithm is faster (which doesn't matter at all in SSH), but DJB & Tanja Lange say it's crap and quite a few things coming out of NIST turned out to be smelly so I would prefer not to. The https://safecurves.cr.yp.to/ (by DJB & Lange) lists the NIST P-256 and P-384 as manipulatable, because they include an unexplained pseudo-random constant, but it does not list the P-521. It does list “E-521”, which someone said is the same curve here, but https://neuromancer.sk/ doesn't seem to agree (P-521, E-521).

@LaoC said in Nope: @remi said in Nope: @DogsB when something is literally orders of magnitude (10x or 100x) more expensive than another variety of something, you can be almost certain that it is not that amount of times better. At that stage, the price difference is purely a marker of "I can afford it" rather than quality. The best status symbols have negative use value, like gold leaf on your dessert that tastes either like nothing or like tinfoil, a Lamborghini on a Lao city street, or a diamond ring that never leaves the safe. We had a pizza place in Sweden in an area where the affluent bought summer homes that served gold leaf pizzas, among other things. Their entire business idea was to get the kids of the super rich to come there to eat pizza for bragging rights, on daddy's dime. And they were entirely open and honest about this being the business idea. I don't know if they still exist, but they hung around for a few years at least. All the ingredients were the most expensive version of what you'd put on normal pizza. For no difference in quality. I think a single pizza was something like €11k

@Bulb For general "web" TLS usage, use ECDSA P-256 if you can. If you need compatibility with old systems for some reason (like an email server, or old embedded systems, or whatnot) then stick with RSA 2048-bit. For things like SSH and GPG, use Ed25519. (Web stuff doesn't generally support it, or I'd recommend it there too.)

@HardwareGeek you definitely heard of their spin-off project even if you didn’t hear of any of their actual games. Basically, their games didn’t exactly sell massively well (probably because they weren’t particularly good) but they had the bright idea to found a little project to raise awareness of their games by hitching them to other games, and in the process founded Humble Indie Bundle, later Humble Bundle, later the Humble Store.

Doesn't quite look like it to me, but I'm not sure.
