The font used for code samples looks nearly the same as "The C++ Programming Languages" (3rd edition / "Wave") by Bjarne Stroustrup. Looking back, yeah, I guess it was weird that he used italic variable width text for code samples, but uses tab stops to align the comments!
Is there a mesh network solution with very low bandwidth by design? "by design" meaning that participants of the network aren't able to increase their bandwidth beyond a defined upper limit. I'm thinking of a bandwidth of about 10kbps. The low bandwidth would practically eliminate problems around spamming and cp. The idea is a network that is only useful for exchanging texts/messages and accessing simple text based websites.
Meshtastic already fulfills that, except for the bit about accessing simple text-based websites, because Meshtastic isn't an IP network. The data rates only go up to 21.88 kbps for the fastest preset: https://meshtastic.org/docs/overview/radio-settings/#presets
the idea is that there would be no point in visiting anything else than text based web-sites or use text-based services. or do you mean that it can't be hooked up to the internet due to its lack of IP protocol?
Let me give you a realistic answer. There are soft and hard criminals. For example: soft criminals buy drugs, hard criminals sell drugs. The soft criminals convert from traditional to digital money (plus maybe a little obfuscation), order and hope for the best. The hard criminals have to solve the difficult problem of reversing that conversion. They'll just have some homeless person open a bank account and then use that for the conversion. If the homeless person gets busted, it better keep its mouth shut - or else.
It was about sharing bits of your daily life and personal thoughts and feelings, while building a small community. Having more than 50-100 readers was a major event (and not a thing people aimed for).
If you consider how huge the web is then 23887 websites is not covering a small but a tiny part. Also the approach of maintaining such a list manually seems fairly uninspired.
If you just go by the number of websites, most websites are promotional slop though. The top 23887 websites that are actually good probably covers a large part of the subset of the internet that's actually good.
Anyway, Kagi Small Web is not a list of websites but a list of RSS feeds.
Until Linux is going to be forced into the same regulation. And then until new laws criminalize attempts to bypass the "porn filter" no matter what you use.
As much as I hate where this might lead, I can't help but amuse myself over a scene like this: You walk up to a bearded fellow in a dark alley and quietly whisper "Stallman..." only for him to quietly respond "... was right.". He then opens his coat for you to choose the install USB of your favorite distro (Arch of course!). He dutifully hands you the stick and a printed copy of the GPLv5 for you to hide in your coat as you walk past the telescreens back to your home.
But where’s the problem? This is opt in. KDE already has a kiosk mode for kids. Add a content filter aka adblocker for porn, done.
I don’t understand the outrage here. Many parents who are technically illiterate would like to be able to leave their 10yo alone with a computer without having to worry.
Rn the only option for that is nintendo/playstation/xbox. Smartphones aren’t.
to be fair I didn't read the details of that law. it's just that its Marschrichtung is pretty clear. total surveillance for flimsy reasons because porn etc. eventually it will be mandatory for everybody. that's what it is about.
I'm a bit surprised to not find the optimistic NVIDIA financial report on the front page given that the fear of the AI bubble bursting has been a major topic the past weeks.
It's been a habit of mine for more than a decade to deactivate any feature with "smart" in its name by default. I want my machines to be predictable and stupid.
