Yes, those levitating shits are really eye opening.

So we just invert the logic now, right?
Make the captcha impossibly hard to get right for humans but doable for bots, and let people in if they fail the test.

Transcend Wifi SD Card Is Was A Tiny Linux Server.

8 years ago, this article is from 2016. I wonder what progress was made if any, both security wise and performance wise.

I think they should go all in on emulating reddit. In fact, I think they should get more in line with the naming scheme of reddit, an re-rename their brand to X-it.

Well obviously they’re an expert in nameology.

Why did you switch up the title?

Except that the download numbers don’t correspond at all with the population numbers.

Every rule has an exception.

That sure sounds like a rule with no exception

Impressive porn collection you got there.

That’s not how it works. Right now the situation is: it doesn’t work. You claim it should be a workable situation. Show how it should work, don’t ask people to prove a negative.

Unless you bring a solution to the table, taking the position that it isn’t impossible is just cheap contrarianism on your part. Sure we can try new things, but if it doesn’t work and everyone is commenting the approach isn’t helping, then maybe take the hint. Or not, and keep swimming against the stream (in which - seeing OP’s other comments - they seem to be more interested than actually solving the problem)

ITT: people giving wrong answers to a post linked to a blog that answers the question ‘What is PID 0?’

If someone is trying to achieve a goal through (what they might not know are) impossible means, “letting them be” isn’t going to help them.

Although it might not seem very helpful (and indeed there are better ways of helping) pointing out the flaws in the approach is contributing more than “letting them be”. Doesn’t cost a thing to be civil about it though.

Thumbnail alone is enough for me.

Number 2 is exactly where my hesitancy lies. Is a CDN still chugging along - not serving stuff to a select user group that has passim enabled is actually finding the fw - saving enough energy for it to cancel out a whole p2p network. I don’t think so (and again, I’d need some metrics before I will. you can’t just waive that away with 'local == fast&less steps == obvious; don’t need statistics)

As for number 3: p2p can only say if there are peers. if there are no peers, there still can be an update (what about the first person to download the firmware for example). It would be a security risk for the system to not give you updates if there are no peers, so I highly doubt that’s the case.

Sending traffic through the LAN is extremely quicker and saves a lot of steps, you dont need statistics for that, it is obvious.

That’s an overly simplistic way of looking at it, and in no way does it say anything about the energy efficiency of the system as a whole. Next to that, you still need the CDN server running 24/7 to serve hashes and fw that isn’t available in the p2p-network (just think how much less power efficient it will be to first crawl the p2p-network, make the conclusion the fw isn’t available on it, only then to still have to contact the CDN and download the fw the ‘old school’ way)

Don’t get me wrong, it’s a cool new feature and a great way to get less dependent on CDNs and save money. But I’m just not buying the energy saving argument.

They still need to contact (actually look for) and download from peers though. I can see how it can save money on CDN costs.

But with claims of climate friendliness, I would at least expect some energy consumption metrics to back that up (from all participants in the network)

Climate-friendlier

Press X to doubt.
