A scientist knows that every model is flawed, but some are useful.

A bigot thinks their view of the world is the only valid one, even when presented with contrary evidence.

ELI5: The guy thought he’d lost his keys, but had a spare in another jacket all along

Sounds like Durak?

Yes, but not everything that was a good decision in the past is a good decision today. The ability to adapt to changing external conditions is what marks an intelligent species.

I’d like to subscribe to pyramid facts

It’s the other way around for me

A docker container is not a whole separate Linux server, it uses the kernel running on the host

Come to Europe, then :)

And why is burning an audio file onto a CD better than having the same file on flash storage?

Not for home computers. But storing data in DNA could become feasible for archiving, as it is very dense and degrades very slowly.

I use en- and em-dashes religiously in my LaTeX documents, and I’m not going to start using the wrong kind of dash on purpose. Might as well abandon grammar while we’re at it.

Yes, but curved does not mean circular. Do either bows have constant curvature?

If you dislike R, give Julia a try!

They advertise that passwords are only stored on the server in encrypted form, meaning they couldn’t read them even if they wanted to (or were forced to by a government agency) and you don’t have to trust them not to. This paper shows that several vulnerabilities exist in the protocol which could be exploited by malicious code running on the server (injected by hackers or a government agency), which would then allow an attacker to obtain cleartext-passwords. So you do, in fact, have to trust the servers integrity.

I have my AP connected with a trunk link and configured to offer different SSIDs for different VLANs. I connect IOT devices to the IOT WiFi, and home assistant can see them since the machine running it is connected to that VLAN as well. Apart from the initial setup, this feels like less of a hassle, as firewall rules are already set up for this VLAN (no connection to internet or other VLANs). If I had to manually make sure that every new IOT device I add is incapable of talking to the internet, I think I’d go mad.

Or who do so little cleaning at home that their appartment becomes almost unusable or outright dangerous to live in

*so Apple claims. Is it possible to verify the key is un-recoverably deleted? The more reasonable approach (when it comes to security) would be to never upload a key in the first place.

I usually go in the morning because it is incredibly packed in the afternoon / evening.

Corporations and fascists: name a better duo

ssh is a protocol that is used to log in to a computer remotely. Servers are usually administrated not by plugging a keyboard and monitor into the server, but from another machine via ssh. You can configure ssh to allow login with the same username+password you would use locally, but it is common practice to only allow authentication with an ssh key.

ssh keys allow for much higher entropy like you suggested. They are also asymmetric, and the private key can be password-protected or stored on a smartcard.
